Thanks a lot! It's definitely an uphill battle :)

hey Sogen, I'm the creator of Kinopio and that really means a lot - thank you!

Ya there seemed to be some server downtime preventing you from loading the space, and because the app works offline you got that message

thanks for letting me know, I've changed the title of the post to "Making the Kinopio Source Code Available"
Re:Open Sourcing Kinopio on Thursday June 27, 2024 @04:14PM (#40814589)
> The big benefit of open source for me is that it’s another way to share the work that goes into Kinopio.

I’m a big vue fan, it’s a great oss success story and feels good not to use any facebook tech
Re:Open Sourcing Kinopio on Thursday June 27, 2024 @04:10PM (#40814554)
I’m looking forward to it too

UPDATE: a fix was released to remove the extra delay and the video on the blogpost was updated to show the new fast-loading version
If you find the linked website as reader hostile as I did, here's a more readable archived version: https://archive.is/vFZet

it's an issue with the ios app only that i'll be investigating (the loading screen is mostly idling during that time). If you load the kinopio website in safari while offline (the app is just a thin wrapper over the site), then it is indeed magically fast

perfect is the enemy of the good, and perfect can be iterated towards as demand scenarios increase

lately, I've been using zotify to download album mp3s from spotify and listen to them in doppler for mac/ios. It's been amazing to not have to use spotify to use spotify
Re:The building blocks of offline support on Tuesday January 23, 2024 @09:11AM (#39103472)
The scenarios where people are simultaneously editing the same space online and offline are very rare. When both users are online, I use the UI to communicate who's editing what to avoid conflicts. I would like to improve this in the future, but for now it's a utilitarian scope/resource issue
Re:The building blocks of offline support on Tuesday January 23, 2024 @09:09AM (#39103446)
that's def not ideal and not normal, loading up the page in incognito takes me less than a second. It does make a lot of requests for assets and to the API but those are mostly async. Can you repro the long load time everytime? Do you still see a long load time for a space url like https://kinopio.club/fonts-6n5memHYV0K1qmeUcX2Fs ? If the issue persists? What browser/OS are you using? Where in the world are you? (the client should be serving over a CDN)

EDIT: in case you were referring to the loading state in the vid in the post, I suspect that's a bug with the iOS loading screen that I didn't have time to fix before this post (it's just idling for most of that). will update later

Re:The building blocks of offline support on Tuesday January 23, 2024 @09:03AM (#39103384)
While there is undo, you're right, it's pretty rough right now. That might be a good way for me to dip my toes into indexedDB
my interpretation of this is that the existence/disclosure of a vulnerability is entirely distinct from a data breach event (the SEC is mainly concerned with the latter)
Re:Flipboard is abandoning X for Mastodon on Friday November 24, 2023 @03:21PM (#38407813)
As much as I applaud any company leaving X, I can’t help suspecting that the ridiculous API costs may have been the biggest factor behind this.
Anecdotally, I live in corktown (a neighborhood right next to downtown), and while it’s overall a nice place to live and somewhat walkable. There are vacant lots everywhere. Some are totally fenced off and some used as free parking.

I’m new to town but everyone else tells me that the area has massively improved in the last 5 years. Those lots are wasted potential.

Re:Aardvark'd: The Fog Creek Documentary, 18 Years Later on Friday September 15, 2023 @11:53AM (#37524974)
It depends on how you define failure.

Fogbugz didn't dominate the market like Jira did, but it had a dedicated customer base. It's revenue was used to fund the development of Trello in the early days, and to fund the first 2~ years of development on Glitch.

When FogBugz was sold off, it was still a modestly profitable business that a better acquirer could have stewarded into a better performer but the bug/issue tracking market is/was really tough.

Source: I used to work at Fogcreek, did some light dev/design work for FogBugz, and was the co-creator of Glitch.

A behind the scenes tale of how the new Kinopio iOS app came about, and how it was made
I’m surprised kagi doesn’t come up more in discussions like these. I’m pretty much full time on it and it’s totally replace google seedy for me. (Not affiliated, just a happy customer)
