was it easier than when you took an open source repo https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_blue and renamed it to plus https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_blue_plus to charge $3,000 to use it commercially?

was that another life goal?

which was more profitable?

how has https://pub.dev/packages/universal_ble affected your sales since the open source community revolted?

what if grok went open source and was on par with open chinese models? the business play may not be the models themselves but owning the data centers and running infrastructure for all models from all companies? a lot of people could then be rooting for xai and elon could ironically save face by actually implementing an open model

nice thanks. been looking for a rust equivalent

this is cool. i don't understand why the word git is in the name if they are trying to get (pun intended) away from git.

buthub has a nice ring to it

how are people not seeing what is going on? they are inching the unified ui towards visionOS & spatial computing. and so corners need to have a much larger hit box and stuff needs to be visible (liquid glass) over a backdrop yet not a huge distracting obstruction. this is a slow transition away from the mouse to the finger as the primary input and the static wallpaper background to your living room and surrounding atmosphere. and so when the time comes it will be familiar and natural to use. just imagine what they are doing in the lab. i believe these decisions are intentional even with some flawed execution

nice

it's a bet for sure. but if you squint or zoom out, you can see that dioxus labs is creating a whole new land of possibilities with blitz, taffy and their rust hot-reload. nothing is more motivating to a founder than adoption so i think developers should look at the big picture and contribute more to help speed things up. a big blocker for me was video in blitz but i solved it myself. ultimately it's up to developers to take a risk and give dioxus some credible case studies. flutter really dropped the ball on web and dioxus has a huge opportunity on the line. hopefully people will give it a real shot to help build some momentum. they are miles ahead in a lot of ways simply due to the vastly available rust crates

looks like las vegas. and integrating it into the conversation would be so draining reminds me of the black mirror brain implant episode

how did you do the transliteration/port?

how did you do the transliteration/port?

according to entire.io it should. i have been keeping a local log for a while and have now been trying out entire. still not sure how i feel about it

pros:

intent is documented

reference to see how it was made

informal documentation

find flaws in your mental model

others can learn from your style

cons:

others can see how it was made

mention things you don't want others to see/know

people can see how dumb we are

reality:

you will judge and be judged for engineering competency not through code, but through words

nice. like in a game of pool you have many shot options but you choose which will leave you in the best position for the next shot. and in chess...

yeah it's great as long as you understand it's not a traditional character level crdt. it's last write wins so you have to be careful with it

you can use it on fal.ai https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/nano-banana-pro https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/nano-banana-pro/edit

neat congrats on shipping! yeah i was kind of in the same boat which is why instantdb seemed like a good fit but it's early days. matrix feels like a house of cards that is meandering a bit with a ton of msc's. you using synapse or?

reminds me a bit of instantdb.com

i've been vetting matrix. what sold you? what are you using it for? seems like it is resource intensive and still a bit rickety. you using yjs?

"The OSS* Playbook: Turning Free Users into Engineers and back into Paying Users"

that is gold

1 year license for startups without funding

if you think it's a commodity feature, why don't you charge like a commodity feature? google maps doesn't charge a solopreneur with zero users and zero capital $6k a year.

if you were starting fresh and working on your dream, would/could you pony up $6k/year for a feature?

you are alienating young innovators and broke people with this model. how about 1 year no watermark. that should give them enough runway to figure out if it's going to work or not or possibly time to get investment to afford it.

also, what if someone uses it and their app blows up... you have a mystery custom business pricing button. it's interesting that your license could really make or break a company. is that what you wanted when you set out to build this thing? are investors putting the pressure on?

the licensing rollercoaster is pushing me to excalidraw or just using cursor to give me something that works good enough for my use case. it's unfortunate that this has put some stank on an otherwise delightful whiteboard.

Tons! Of! Exclamation! Marks! :)

Thanks guys! I think I may do a milestone based method. Each milestone reached will earn him X% equity. That way he can earn his way in and the risk is low for me.

Yeah, but f & t are deeply engrained into everyday life of people and businesses.

Proximity based advertising is cheaper and more efficient to smaller and local businesses.

I've been working on something similar... $41M sure would be nice! For a group of proven talent I can understand the investment, but $41M is pretty crazy.

It appears that social networks are pools of acquaintances. Hmmm interesting...

Thanks for responding...just the answers I expected. Communication is changing at an alarming rate, we are literally in the middle of the communication revolution. It's interesting to think about how humans will interact in 10 years.

Nice find. Facebook should have a morning paper about all of the changes & additions they make. They never seem to stick to any one way of doing anything and drive developers nuts!
