    Interesting! Thanks for the responses. I'm not python native and haven't worked as extensively with python as some of you here. That said, I'll change my mind here and agree on usi…

    Disagree. In the first instance, the original code is readable and tells me exactly what's what. In your example, you're sacrificing readability for being clever. Clear code(even i…

    This is pretty impressive. A lot of people underestimate the amount of work required to make something available offline. Planning the syncing architecture alone is a monumental ta…

    I didn't like Tailwind initially, but after using it for a week, it's hard to go back to regular CSS or even SCSS. I have a project that uses SCSS, and sometimes I wish I was using…

    This might work for B2C startups, but not so much for B2B. In B2B, people need to see a working product that clearly saves them time or money. The sales cycle is longer, and landin…

    If I were to do it all over again, I’d simplify things even further. I’d start by testing the idea with just the offline version. For syncing, I’d focus on syncing the data itself,…

    This was refreshing to read! More apps should be local-first. If the user does not want to sync their data to cloud, they should have that option. I’ve been building the offline-fi…

    Built a privacy focused Kanban board app called Brisqi - https://brisqi.com It's offline-first, has one-time payment plans and has a clean, simple design. Check it out!

    Show HN: Brisqi – privacy-first offline Kanban board that works locally

    I built Brisqi because I was tired of bloated, cloud-only Kanban boards. It’s a thoughtfully designed, privacy-first task board that lives entirely on your computer—offline, distra…

    I built an offine-first task management app with Kanban setup called Brisqi because I needed an app that worked anywhere without relying on an internet connection. Whether you’re i…

    > Offline-First is a software paradigm where the software must work as well offline as it does online. I've been building offline-first apps[0] for quite a while in both desktop an…

    Nice idea. You can also have a CPU usage monitor in your app bar.

    I really like the name. It immediately reminded of the side quests in RPG games to get more experience. And this is exactly that. Good job.

    I understand that. It's totally dependent on your needs. If you need to run multiple docker containers or VMs, then you need that power and I get that, I'd need it too in that case…

    Agreed. I'm still on Ivy Bridge(3rd gen) quad-core i7(laptop). Its fast for all my development needs. I put SSD couple of years ago and its quite snappy.

    Agreed, I came to the same conclusion. Both my PC laptop and MacBook Air have glossy displays but MacBook one reflects back less light which makes it easier to work with.

    That's interesting. Which one do you prefer for daily use?

    Comment #27684631

    I use to think along the same lines. However due to nature of my work, I switch between a MacBook and PC quite often. When I go from MacBook to a laptop with 1080p resolution, I co…

    That's true, but if you compare the resale value of PCs and MacBooks, you'll find that MacBooks(even with outdated OS) have higher resale value. Therefore, this is a bit of a trick…

    I just generally have tremendous respect for someone who even attempts to build an OS from scratch. You kept at it and didn't give up. Great work.
