yea offline is definitely supported (settings > sync your map > toggle 'off')
share links will no longer work, but you can still use image/video export to show friends!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!

i encourage everyone to get started on whatever device is most accessible. if you only have a 49 key midi keyboard without weighted keys, get started on that. just do enough to have some fun and see if this is something you'd like to continue. unless you are very serious about learning classical piano, better to build bad habits and correct them later than to allow this "88 key weighted keyboard only" gatekeeping to stop you from starting the journey
The coupons are the biggest advantage to placing orders online. If you place your order over the phone, they aren't going to offer any promos - they'll gladly charge you $16 for a medium 1 topping. Gotta get the coupon to get the 5.99 special.
I love the pocket operators :)
in its current state this is less feature-rich and more expensive than alternative react + auth boilerplates. Maybe this can be differentiated by adding some common SaaS features - eg billing plans, checkout, multi-tenancy
I would love a non-trivial demo app or webcast that uses some of the components (eg. service + DB + static site + multiple workers) to check out the configuration required to make everything work together.
Maybe examples of how server/workers communicate, support for RPC, event queue. I'm in the process of figuring out all this stuff and App Platform sounds perfect, but without a starting point it may become more straightforward to take the platform-agnostic approach and spin up droplets where I control all of this.
Could you elaborate on what it means to have "exhausted all other standard investment opportunities like stocks, private investments in mature companies, personal trusts and real estate"? Is this due to some tax/estate laws?
So often I sit down in an uber and the driver instantly switches to Waze.
Are changes like CSS typed objects a new web standard or Chromium independently making decisions? Can we expect safari/firefox/ie to support this soon or is this only useful if my entire userbase uses chrome?
edit: found the spec https://www.w3.org/TR/css-typed-om-1/ so I think it's reasonable to expect parity from other vendors eventually
A bush hunter... is that a euphemism for something?
