    I recently made a very similar tool but focused on making small React apps instead of presentations. A basic starter html file with an example app: https://glider-app.netlify.app/g…

    For context, my engineering team is fairly small – no guarantees this scales well for larger organizations. I capture the reasons for decisions on why code was written a particular…

    I’d love to see a variation on the concept that minimizes information on each card. It would of course result in a larger deck, but would reduce visual noise while playing games. I…

    I also do my best to stick to a "one strike and they're out" personal policy. But I also have apps that push marketing through notifications _and_ are urgent on a reoccurring basis…

    Is a normal (non-rose) gold (or even a brass) color something we could look forward go in the future? Was the decision to not sell that color based on expected demand for the color…

    I personally prefer leaving the measurement in the instructions for two reasons. 1. I'll often use the ingredients list (and quantities there) before cooking to ensure that I have …

    I love that you made it so simple to use! I've started building a similar app before, except with more of a focus on the timestamps than the text (prioritizing time tracking over n…

    Genuinely, I'd love to see this approach be taken: allow for a set of characters to be used as list delimiters. I personally like the set to be comma, semicolon, and newline, but o…

    Totally agreed! It's a problem I'd love to see solved well. I've wanted a route planning / mapping app that can achieve advanced features for a few years now. I'd love to build it …

    Lately I've started using a barebones SQLite DB for this and a GUI DB editor program (TablePlus, which happens to have an iOS app as well). I'd always relied on ORMs in whatever we…

    Set up should be simpler than needing to manually copy codes into your settings app. When a QR code is present on screen that resolves to a TOTP seed, an additional context menu op…

    This is possible and relatively easy for Apple to do: for most (if not all) permissions, a declaration that you intend to ask for permission is required in the app's Info.plist man…

    In the US, we tax roads by usage via fuel (gasoline and diesel) tax [^1]. It's a simple solution: the more miles you drive, the more fuel you use; the more fuel you use, the more t…

    Great article! I'd never considered the mathematical risks associated with this. Now I'm curious what the numbers would look like if it were a cultural norm for everyone (who passe…

    A Dark Room is pretty high up on my list. While it's a very bare bones interface, its visual design is intentional and consistent through different stages of gameplay.

    This is present in the App Store. It's not a short line-item similar to in-app puchase presence, instead it's a full-width card that indicates details on what information is collec…

    This is such a welcome addition! I totally agree: it likely took all of 30 minutes to implement (plus testing, QA, etc time). I'd love to see another Clock feature: let me choose a…

    A simple solution: On the dialog for the Nth advertisement, also provide a "disable AirDrop for 1 hour" choice. If the user wanted to receive these again, they can re-enable AirDro…

    The rule of thumb estimation number I've always heard for calculating a salaried job's hourly rate is 2080: 365 / 7 ≈ 52 (weeks) * 5 (work days per week) * 8 (hours per day) = 2080…
