Not sure what polish you're looking for but it's been great for me. Smart autocomplete algorithm and good chatbot that acts like a personalized Google / stack overflow. It's not go…

It's not at a point yet where I can recommend it to non-technical people but it's getting close. I can play almost any steam game that I can find on it, but usually need to manuall…

Anecdotally, a friend of mine works for a state department of transportation and has been trying to get a developer and a DBA to replace some people who've recently left. He's been…

Cool! Didn't know about the pen, though I've seen clips of similar tech being used. I've got a long ways to go with this app though so it's still just a pet project. The position t…

I've been learning how to use Blender. For a long time I've thought that working with things in 3D could be made simpler by having an app where your phone is a sort of 3D cursor, a…
