Re:A farewell to Arc browser on Thursday October 22, 2026 @04:49PM (#50200831)
Such a needlessly disappointing decision. So much hard work went into the product and Arc had a great deal of promise. We'll definitely continue to see amazing efforts by designers, engineers, and others though in this space.
Re:As AI Turns Prevalent, UI Becomes Irrelevant on Thursday March 05, 2026 @06:25PM (#47268647)
As long as users are in the loop, interfaces will be important. The future of computer interactions would be greatly constrained if chat boxes were exclusive paradigm!

"Look at Cursor — it started as a full-blown IDE and is now converging on what's essentially a task list."

IDE functionality wasn't removed at all, and is a distinguishing factor from CLI and other tooling!

I could see FracturedJson being great for a browser extension or preview extension in IDE, as in just for _viewing_ JSON in a formatted way, not formatting the source.
Re:iOS indie app development looks like on Wednesday February 12, 2025 @04:36PM (#43030007)
Won't folks prefer to use native system features (e.g. password protected apps or the "hidden" album in Photos app)?
I have never had confidence in Spotify's roadmap.

Amazing. So much nostalgia. Love the frosted glass/Windows Aero stuff.

Re:Apple's bad faith 27% tax on web purchases on Wednesday January 17, 2024 @07:25PM (#39035683)
Apple must allow alternate payment modes without imposing a gatekeeper tax. It must be consistent without exceptions (i.e. not just Amazon). The issue is not the gratuitous fee, it is the lack of choice.

iOS is more ubiquitous than macOS yet more restrictive--it cannot last. This entitlement is so restrictive -- it just seems vindictive. Apple's market share and success means additional responsibility. The argument that it's their App Store and therefore they can do whatever they want is a dubious defence. They owe their loyal developers more than this.

Re:Removal of Heroku free product plans on Thursday August 25, 2022 @02:50PM (#32598257)
Sad day. Heroku has had security incidents, serious outages, and contrary to rest of industry eliminated any free/growth tiers w/o serious platform improvements.

Was a long term paying customer. Bye bye
