What is "Japan enthusiast"? Stop boot licking.
Thanks Nate! One immediate feedback I would like to give is to improve the configuration/setup documentation, like config/v1/v2/v3, packages like @tamagui/animations-react-native/babel-plugin/config/font-inter/react-native-media-driver etc. There is very less about these packages on the documentation or maybe not easily accessible.
I am also an early adopter of Tamagui and can say that documentation has gone much better than it was before, but still needs lots of improvements. I myself struggle with many packages we have installed with Tamagui, and at this point I don't know which one to keep and which can be removed.
I was building a very similar solution two years back after seeing the struggle of managing the assets for the design teams. Mostly people were using google-drive to share/collect/update the assets which was not very systematic. I envision my solution to fix this with the similar insiparation of VCS and proper integration with existing design tools, but after some time realized that the solution was not good enough and it quickly became too technical for the design folks.

> 3) In the keynote, the demo of logging into to other services like Spotify appears to just be stealing the auth tokens from the laptop and shipping them to the R1 device. Not a good sign.

I don't think the tokens are getting transferred to the device. It seems everything happens on the cloud, so the tokens must have been stored on the cloud too.

I know, I understand the thought process behind it. But the font selection ruined it completely. If someone picks the device, optically the first letters in the logo looks like "SOW" and brains tries to read the word.

Edit: Also looks like it has a display underneath for "TO". As I said, this is overengineering, removing it will save cost.

Nice project.

Few suggestions: 1. Change/Update your logo. I find it hard to read it the font is not best for alphabets. 2. In the product itself, the brand name is reversed for the shopkeeper. I initially thought maybe it's some smart name that could be read in reverse as well (like 1300135 lol). It is overengineered, just keep it simple it. 3. Add a real use-case demo in your website. It is currently filled with garbage/gibberish.

Re:Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s first spatial computer on Tuesday June 06, 2023 @02:11AM (#36208804)
I've been thinking about this for 12 hours. This product is going to change everything (sales going to skyrocket). The only problem I see if how Apple projected it in the entire demo.

They are projecting this to be like a mobile phone which will always be the part of day-to-day activity, but in reality this is not.

This is a single person device which will be only used when no one is around and mostly for work. Nothing else. You can't expect someone to have this on his head all the time for all the thing.

Is this the one that was discussed on Joe Rogan by Randal Carlson recently?

Are you guys also hiring for React/Web developers (or React Native, although I know ByteDance uses Flutter primarily)?

Appreciate it!

I learned hacking from orkut at age 14. Haha, nice script-kiddies days, that's why I say to everyone:

“To be a hacker, you have to be a script kiddie before”

Knob UI for sound applications are like what buttons are for web applications. I can't see it being a "complete rip-off".

Mind blowing.

My reaction was: "Ok, that's cool, but he can not have X module" a minute later "X" appears, and it went throughout the video.

Surprised to see Xiaomi on your existence list of maturity.
