Re:Could I use the iPad as my only computer? on Tuesday May 28, 2024 @11:55AM (#40502048)
Honestly this comes back to the refrain I've been hearing lately: what iPadOS needs is the desktop version of Safari! That would let us run Figma just fine! Figjam runs great on iPad, it's actually a fully native experience and I love it. But if they'd just give us a first-class Safari experience, we'd be good here.

Cool, instant buy for me. A few little suggestions:

- Make the system font (San Francisco) an option for the UI. Maybe even SF Mono as an option as well?

- A little more help about which model to use for beginners would be nice. Maybe just an intro screen telling you how to get going.

- Would be great if Command-comma opened settings, like most Mac apps.

- Would be great if clicking web links opened Safari (or my preferred browser), rather than a small window that loads nothing!

This really feels like a prompt for one of those “write your own punchline” exercises.

“in Fall 2023” my goodness this post is from the future!!!
This is kind of absurd. Markdown has very specific use cases. For example, using any number of free apps, you can maintain a folder of notes that are human-readable, machine-parsable, that will effectively be useful forever.

You’re really gonna keep that folder of text files in “very good” LaTeX??

Very sad. No more chunky bacon??

I invite everyone to enjoy a video I set to some of his music, and reflect on his priceless contributions.

Re:Django or Ruby on Rails? -- A Comparison on Wednesday February 28, 2007 @11:00AM (#1525)
This is a poorly written article by someone who has used each framework for only a few days. Not worth reading or even thinking about.
