I heard that ENOF by Sol Yin is a good recommendation. Something about a possible AI future..
They spoke directly at op and you responded for some reason. Op made an iOS only app and that’s most likely why they referred to them as ‘an apple guy’.

Nobody was saying “everyone who owns a Mac Mini” or “everyone who ever has published an iOS app” is ‘an Apple guy’.

Not Tweakers!!

Seriously though. I don’t know what’s best. Taking everything down or not.. I just run a small time SaaS.

I personally started to differentiate between “agent(ically) assisted development” (AAD if you will) and “vibe coding”

The former is professionals using a tool to get shit done, the latter is hobbyists rambling stuff together that works for their one happy flow, so to speak.

Re:Why do we have so many meetings? on Tuesday October 20, 2026 @12:54PM (#50169258)
This sounds like a former CEO I used to work with. Huddled an entire team into a meeting g bc he wanted an update, proceeded to talk through 80% of the meeting time.

End result: someone was appointed to send an email with the update.

Re:Tailwind Labs is joining Shopify on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @12:25PM (#49629082)
If you look at the monitor, the Shopify logo fits between the thumb and index finger, I suppose that's the only small thing about Shopify, lol.

All joking aside, I don't think most of us consider Shopify as a small company. I personally hope that Tailwind stays around after this acquisition. I was there when Shopify bought Remix and that project is as good as dead in the water now.

‘Actively maintained’
Wasn’t that the promise of crypto currency? To have programmable, digital money?
Re:Odysseus – self-hosted AI workspace on Sunday May 31, 2026 @11:40PM (#48352371)
Interesting. I would not think of age when someone requests “cleaner and more polished”. My mind translates that to “nicer UI”
Your eyes are still looking at an object (roughly?) 10cm away from your face: the screens. Your eyes are not adjusting focus. Any focus (or blur) you see in VR is simulated depth.

So yes, the issue is indeed the distance where your eyes are focussing, caused by the fact that they're constantly focussing on something very close to your face.

My optician told me its like stretching your arm while holding something heavy. At first that's no problem. But eventually your muscles will start burning and you can't hold it and even when you relax your arm it still hurts if you held it for too long.

As far as I'm aware there are no VR headsets yet that adjust the live generated depth vision based on the diaphragm of your eyes. That would be wild.

Re:Dropbox CEO Drew Houston to step down on Wednesday May 27, 2026 @07:50AM (#48292851)
Why. This is again thinking from solely a profit perspective and revenue for shareholders. Users don’t want extra half-assed crap just because the company can scrape a little more revenue this way.

They do one thing great apparently. I know many people that cannot be convinced to switch away from Dropbox.

Re:Dropbox CEO Drew Houston to step down on Wednesday May 27, 2026 @07:47AM (#48292803)
A happy company culture sounds like an excellent result from a great leader.

If stock owners want more ROI come do the work instead of setting demands. (i know that’s unfortunately not how the world works).

Exactly. Looking at it, it could be any generic unknown Chinese EV brand.
So you’re telling me I should sand my carbon fiber wing foil mast and wing with 1000-1500 grid sand paper for better gliding results?

I’m fairly new to the sport and never heard of this yet.

Re:Gemini CLI will stop working from June 18, 2026 on Tuesday May 19, 2026 @11:32PM (#48202786)
This is the main reason I’m not using Gemini for work. Google won’t let me pay for it. I pay for just about every AI service under the sun but Google needs to refuse my card, account, location or a combination of these.

But they happily take my money for a couple of Workspce accounts.

Re:Email belongs on YOUR disk, not a cloud server on Tuesday May 19, 2026 @12:56AM (#48189339)
Im old enough to remember the horrors of pop3 and backing up Outlook pst files.

No sir. I’m very happy with my email cloud service.

I don’t get it. How is this different from using the Claude iOS (and I assume Android) native app and use their “Code” option. It fires up a Claude Code session in the cloud and you can vibe code anything while on the toilet.

Show HN: SpreadPaper – span a single wallpaper across multiple macOS monitors

https://github.com/spreadpaper/SpreadPaper

Hi HN, I built an open-source macOS utility called SpreadPaper that lets you take one high-resolution image and spread it seamlessly across all your connected monitors.I personally use multiple monitors for design and coding, and I got tired of wallpapers that either tile awkwardly or get cropped badly. SpreadPaper is my attempt at a minimal, no-bloat solution that just works. If you also care...

Re:You can make smells with ultrasound on Sunday November 23, 2025 @10:04AM (#46024078)
Genuine question: how would they know if it has always been a certain way?

If they _lost_ their sense of smell, they had something to compare it with.

Re:Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues on Tuesday November 18, 2025 @09:41AM (#45966753)
Turnstile is back up (for now). Go refresh. I just managed to make an API key and turn off proxied DNS.
Re:Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues on Tuesday November 18, 2025 @07:13AM (#45964467)
Lol. I mean I love Tailwind but it seems like the least trivial site/service to be down right now haha.
Re:Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues on Tuesday November 18, 2025 @07:11AM (#45964416)
Same here. We’re using OhDear. The status page is available but I can’t post an incident because their service is also behind Cloudflare.
No UTF-8 support?
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025) on Sunday November 09, 2025 @11:12PM (#45872352)
Im finalizing the Google Calendar integration for Ganttify. https://gantt-chart.com

It will allow users to fully manage their calendar in a Gantt chart. Complete with customizations like dependencies between events, custom colors for time blocks and custom icons for single-day events (“milestone”-like).

Ganttify is a Gantt chart add-on for web applications or services that can benefit from a Gantt view. My goal is to expand the number of integrations for Ganttify and release a new integration every month or so. If any of you have an interesting (niche or non-niche) idea to integrate Ganttify with feel free to contact me.

Re: on Friday October 31, 2025 @11:39PM (#45779076)
That reasoning does not make any sense. I spend $3-4k on a MBP and run it till it fall apart, usually 5-7 years later.
Re:Show HN: Create-LLM – Train your own LLM in 60 seconds on Sunday October 26, 2025 @11:26PM (#45717120)
Don’t feed the trolls. This was your idea and you made something that works. Who cares if its (partially) done by AI. Whomever is taking offense by people using AI for coding, is just having a hard time adapting to the current state of affairs.

It’s here, it’s happening. Try the project, if you like it thats great, if you don’t then move on.

And if you don’t intent to try it for whatever reason that’s fine as well but don’t be salty to the OP for sharing their passion project.

Re:GenAI Image Editing Showdown on Sunday October 26, 2025 @11:20AM (#45712608)
I don’t know if you and I are looking at the same site because all I see is existing images being edited with GenAI.

Input: bald man Prompt: give bald man hair Output: edited original, now with hair

That looks like editing to me.

Or are we strictly adhering to the ‘generating new images’ definition because these models technically recreate the entire image? It would be like editing a photo in Photoshop. If you hit “Save” you edited the photo. But if you hit “Save As” and create a new file, the photo wasn’t edited but created as a new image?

Re:Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead with Ads in Maps App on Sunday October 26, 2025 @11:14AM (#45712535)
Meanwhile, also Apple maps since launch: “sorry I cant get directions from A to B.”

It has NEVER given me directions. I live in a non-EU country and not in the US. Small island. It shows all the roads, shops and everything but for some arbitrary reason it won’t do navigation here.

Never touched it again since Google maps is perfect. (Aside from the occasional off-road routing).

Re:World Simulator: Create and Play Interactive AI Worlds on Sunday October 26, 2025 @11:10AM (#45712503)
It would be like a gameplay demo. Will show what it would be like but not interactive. Not uncommon, right?
