Considering they were your top two models, how did the flash and non-flash versions compare? Did you use them for different tasks?

While i get the sentiment and the frustration, I highly doubt an SRE worked on the hamburger menu.

In my experience some teams move a lot faster than others and that leads to asymmetric quality. If all devs could pick up a new language and skillset overnigh then companies would have a lot more flexibility in their roadmaps, but humans don't scale that way - with or without AI.

Saw this in my inbox recently and found this callout really interesting - apparently Bugbot now uses Composer:

> These performance gains are made possible by harness improvements and progress we’ve made training Composer 2.5, which now powers Bugbot. Our model training work is one part of how we will continue to improve Bugbot over time.

I had the exact same experience and switched from Tauri 2.0 to Electron after a month.

No only were there UI inconsistencies, but Safari lags behind chrome with things like the Popover API and the build/codesign/CD ecosystem for Tauri is incredibly scattered.

When I was using it, IAPs were still not really an option for Tauri or at least I could not find any docs or resources about it.

Thank you!

The website uses the default themes for the app which I picked specifically to be easy to look at (I have it open all day).

According to WebAIM[0] it passes so feel free to rip the theme [1] and use it for your next project!

Scrolling has been the bane of my existence lol.

Im pretty happy with it currently, but want to fix a small annoyance where columns can "hijack" horizontal scrolling.

I learned SO MUCH about CSS tools of old and new doing this project. The popover API and anchor positioning in particular was a bit of a beast, as were overflows and scroll areas.

Most of my background has been in native or react-native mobile development where these kinds of issues don't really exist in the same way.

Going back to basics with html + css was humbling and taught me a lot, too.

Thank you so much <3

Thank you!

I got to dust off some old UX skills that haven't been used in a few years.

Huge shoutout to DaisyUI [0] and tailwind for making it really easy to build pretty things.

For those of us with a black and white remarkable like RM2 could you add a setting to set all text to black including links? The blue washes out to gray.

Also setting the journal prompts to black would be wonderful - they are hard to see unlike the articles.

I was planning on building this but never got around to it. After getting this set up its perfectly fine for my needs. Is there a way we can pay for it or at least tip you? I know the servers aren't crazy expensive but I'd love to support the work and hope it sticks around a while!

This is an awesome app that my partner half-joking had been asking me to build for years. Glad to see someone actually made it!

Second this, Assistant is a game-changer for me. Its the usefulness of AI with footnotes that give me confidence that I can know where that came from and if I trust it. Especially for product reviews, being able to use lenses that filter out sites I don't trust and then run AI on top of it is pretty cool.

Isn't this essentially what Kagi and other search engines that let you create "lenses" and block/allow sites are?

I think this version of the internet exists today, it just isn't built in to Google anymore.

Arc[0] does this really well for me - across computers and even my phone.

Its chromium under the hood but the UX and sync story is impeccable.

On my computer it appears that some of the glyphs are being "hijacked" by OS-level ones? [0] Im using FF on the latest MacOS.

My team wrapped an ambitious RN project over the last 6 months and had no such issues. We actually migrated from "vanilla" RN to the latest Expo release as EAS allows you to use native code and do nearly anything you could do with vanilla.

Every codebase is unique, but I would (and have) recommended this stack to multiple teams as it served us really well.

We onboarded 3 React devs - 2 of which had never used RN before and all 3 were pushing out features within a two week sprint.

We also got to scan a QR code from a GitHub PR and allowed other engineers, QA folk, and designers to test PRs before merging on a real physical device - I am not sure if Flutter has something similar, but the tooling around RN is amazing.

Also, LogRocket, Sentry, LaunchDarkly, Auth0 and most of the SaaS tools youre familiar with in React have solid ReactNative support - often times including web if you use RNW.

Congrats on the launch!

Sorry if this is a silly question, but how does this differ from a tool like LogRocket?

The big feature here is Caldav support.

Calendly only works with Google and Microsoft - no planned support for any Caldav services like fastmail.

Fantastical makes a great calendar app with rock-solid support for virtually any calendar service. I hope this pushes Calendly to reconsider caldav support.

I should note Harmonizely has tried to step into this niche and may be very successful but I found the app to not have a stellar UX and a lot of calendar invites never made their way back to my inbox which completely defeats a calendar scheduling app in the first place.

I wish the Expo team offered support plans. Its an amazing product and they now sell hosting, but support is something I would (have my company) pay upwards of thousands of dollars a year for.

When you get stuck on a strange bug or find something in the docs doesn't work as expected your only options are Discord and GH issues. Neither feels appropriate as GH issues are slow and you get lost in the noise and Discord is a sea of noise that you're never sure if anyone with serious answers may be able to help you.

We've built amazing things with Expo (now that you can run almost any native code you want in an Expo app) but support would be an easy purchase.

The DSLR felt 10x smoother and more natural to me as someone that knows nothing about cameras.

Ironically, this website made me want to go find a cheap/used DSLR because the quality is so much better.

I personally use Camo with my iPhone which does almost all of these things and uses the computer in my pocket. Would love to see a comparison with that as I think its reasonable to assume someone willing to drop $300 on a webcam has overlap with someone willing to pay a monthly fee to use their phone as one.

Does it have standards parity with Safari or Safari Developer Preview?

Is there another way to read this?

I guess i've hit my limit of free Meduim articles and i have to pay to see this now. I'm a little concerned, I wonder how many people don't realize all their content is now behind a paywall.

So, bucking the trend... but i think this is really well executed and I'm a huge fan. I don't use vivaldi but i dont find it to be as nice of a UX as this.

Im a Firefox guy mostly on principal, but if you had a solid free trial on this I would give it a go.

Best of luck to you, remember you don't need to do something totally new to do it in a way that makes peoples lives better.

I'd consider dropping the prices a bit, $9/mo seems more reasonable to me than $15 but as you add features im sure that will change.

Is it really a pivot or just offering a new product in addition to the existing one?

Now you can have an offline tool you pay for once or pay monthly to get all the bells and whistles figma has.

To me it feels like a win-win - I don't personally want a sub but my company will. They moved from Sketch to figma for those features and dont mind monthly fees. Personally, I dont use it often enough to justify a monthly fee so im glad the copy i bought a few years ago still works just fine.

I disagree.

If you use a tool like Figma and you DON'T want the cloud features you have to pay a sub for ever.

If you have 100s of sketch files they work forever without needing to pay any continued fees.

I have sketch files from 5+ years ago i can still open with my copy of Sketch but with Figma, having over 2(?) files in a "project" requires a subscription.

I like that they give you options and you can find the one that works for you. Running collaborative cloud features isnt free for them, so i understand paying for it.

I DO NOT understand paying a monthly fee for a tool that never uses "the cloud" and i wish more tools had this kind of model.
