Cannot stop vibe coding? Me too. That’s why I have shipped the flow break app that’s a reimagined tomato method alarm/timer. It uses computer vision to detect your sitting and can expose stats for agent to analysis. You can read more here: https://flowbreak.rest/

In his book "Creativity, Inc" there is also a chapter "The Steve we knew" talking about this.
1. Pure web tech on phone OS is simply not a choice, Facebook did it and failed too. 2. It's better to use new tech (pure web) in new market such as IoT. If using in existing market (iOS and Android), customers will ask: is the user experience better than the existing ones? And that's why they decide to end the development: "However, we weren't able to offer the best user experience possible and so we will stop offering Firefox OS smartphones..."

Re:Evernote cuts 47 employees and shuts down 3 offices on Friday October 02, 2015 @12:44PM (#10319620)
- The Windows version sucks: I have a really long note and now I cannot open it, the whole program just crashes. - The Mac version is OK. Still running fine. - The Web version looks cleaner, but it doesn't have a highlight tool??!!

Another major complain is that it's really difficult to store code in a note.

I started using [WizNote](http://www.wiznote.com/) recently and it seems really good: markdown, free, multiple directory support, comments, etc

Re:Evernote cuts 47 employees and shuts down 3 offices on Friday October 02, 2015 @12:38PM (#10319584)
I have the same feeling with you at the moment(s) every time I open Evernote it prompts to ask you to upgrade.
Re:New Chromecast 2015 on Tuesday September 29, 2015 @07:32PM (#10300616)
That sounds cool. So basically I don't need the chromecast audio if I have the PI, right? I like the iOS' system level of audio output (AirPlay) and didn't know Android is flexible enough that an app can do that!
Re:New Chromecast 2015 on Tuesday September 29, 2015 @03:06PM (#10298699)
That means the music app needs to support chromecast, right?

On a side note, the hero photo looks realistic (has the 'pop' feeling), wondering how to produce this kind of photo?

Is this something similar to parse/firebase?

Re:Flipboard releases React Canvas on Wednesday February 11, 2015 @12:29PM (#9034152)
Looks awesome! Can you share any architecture info? The frontend is built on d3+reactjs+jquery, how about the backend?
Login error :(
Re:Microsoft takes .NET open source and cross-platform on Wednesday November 12, 2014 @12:59PM (#8597007)
Server side makes more sense. WPF is an UI framework, even it includes WPF, the user experience will be bad just because it looks so differently than native apps.

This looks good. I'm wondering has anyone combined react and meteor in a real project?
I have exchanged to 5 Ups and all of them DOA. Since I bought from Amazon I cannot get refund from Jawbone. Now I have my Up sitting in the draw for months...
Re:MongoDB 2.6 Released on Tuesday April 08, 2014 @10:50AM (#7553725)
Playing with Meteor and mongo recently and have found mongo seems a little bit strange from a transitional SQL point of view, like do I need to embed or reference? Can anyone recommend a good book or source?
Re:The Road to React 1.0 on Friday March 28, 2014 @08:35PM (#7490880)
I'm using Angular and I'd like to try react. Is it easy to transform an angular project to backbone + react? Do you have to use Marionette?

Am I the only one who thinks it's ugly??
I have a simple rails app now I want to add realtime to it, it seems I have those options:

a. rails + node.js + reddis

b. 'rewrite' the rails app in meteor.js

c. rails + firebase

Any suggestions? Anyone uses meteor.js from a rails background?

I'm doing angular.js + node-webkit for my desktop app, not bad. How is your Brackets-Shell experience?

Any demo? Or I guess it's at the end of the series.
