    There is the trahscan icon in the first image, but that is hardly a cognitive hurdle. I agree icons are not always the best option, but I'd need better arguments (and bad examples)…

    İ've been using Termux (and Vim) to code on my phone for years, way easier than this setup.

    I don't know how intentional your choice of words was, but describing education as a 'product' is a sad reminder of the current state of the world. It's as if every action and expe…

    I also thought the writing/parsing makes it a lot slower than DOM createElement methods. Here's also an interesting SO thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/802854/why-is-doc…

    They tested it with 16 developers, so not enough data for conclusive evidence.

    I don't get it. What is the point? What is the top-right toggle? Why doesn't it find the color I search for? At one point I did see an add-color button, where is it now? Doesn't rg…

    I remember using Librarything some fifteen years back before switching to Goodreads. I wonder if anyone still uses it.

    Being self employed I made my own invoicing software because I don't like financial data in the cloud, and because most software had really bad invoice styling. All data is kept on…

    I've been using it for a year now. Google had been giving increasingly bad results. Kagi doesn't have adds and works surprisingly wel in my own language and location. Worth every c…

    You're absolutely right on the 'why' part, but sadly a lot of custom implementations are annoying in terms of UX and accessibility. My only point here is that building proper custo…

    JS does not 'just work'. This is why a lot of these custom components have bad touch interaction and no accessibility. Take the datepicker; the native mobile version works great, w…

    Not really, simplification by analogies such as this always distort. You seem to imply Palestine is stronger.

    Kagi doesn't save search terms by default: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/settings/privacy.html Google is a lot better at keeping a profile on you whether you like it or not.

    I'm on my fifth smartphone (since 2009). But I've always used Android. It could be that iOS users are more inclined to replace perfectly working hardware.

    I once wrote an invoicing application because I couldn't find any good ones that weren't cloud-based: https://projectinvoice.nl/
