Ask HN: Article about volatility of modern UIs

A long time ago I read article on HN that was about how modern UIs are different from old-days UIs in terms of volatility. The article pointed that nowadays it's so easy to (mis)click away and then everything changes, so it's hard to operate on it (select, copy, preserve). I don't exactly remember content but that was all I can recall. Can you please help me find it? I tried for hours w/o any...

https://www.stickk.com/ The very same idea with more developed solution, already community and more features (Just for people who looked for such things like me ago)
Thank you very much! I believe there's much to do, but recently I realized that many commercial software I could rewrite myself (at least core functionalities) by using Nextcloud ecosystem and let people have control of their own data, also - extend capabilities of such commercial software ;) My plan is to add more integrations and features soon!
Hi, this is my first time publishing my own piece of code here. I know that it still requires a lot of work, and I'm still working on it, but I thought that if I can get any suggestions and opinions - maybe a little feedback could help and motivate me to work more on it. Please don't be too harsh ;)
Brave / kiwi are similar. Why is your better?
Thank you very much! That's it!

Ask HN: Mind mapping tool that uses space to hold information

I recently saw a landing page of some mind mapping / knowledge base tool.

I'm not defending their claims. I'm just asking, and I really do think that could be useful to have some study on that. Studies on vaporized marijuana says that are some benefits of that form of application: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4456813/ While not having any research paper to deny nor support thesis about health benefits of vaporizing other herbs it's hard to have strong opinion on that. It's probably safer to avoid it - as you said - not being guinea pig, until there's some paper published.
Thank you for your answer. Does that apply to every herb? E.g. that site: https://kingpenvapes.com/kpv-blog/what-kind-dry-herbs-vapori... names over 50 herbs you could vaporize and precise temperatures you should use to vape them. I wonder how they got info about vaping temperatures and health benefits. Precise numbers they use are suggesting that there's something behind to support their claims.
