In California, the maximum personal income tax rate is effectively closer to 50%, which is where my mind went, but you're right, it's different for companies. In my example, the ta…

For folks that don't know the background on this, here's a layperson summary: - A business is usually taxed on its profits: you deduct your revenue from the cost of producing that …

I’ve been helping Omar on this and one of the hardest aspects of building this product has been finding users that can give actual feedback. Any ideas there would be super helpful

it would be nice if i could save my progress at every level so i could just keep working on one level at a time.

Yes, this is an issue! And, zooming out a little more, free market healthcare is just part of the problem. We have a system where we’re only treating people once they have a diseas…

Pop co-founder here. It warms my heart to hear this. Thank you for the appreciation!

Another commenter mentioned how VSCode's performance shows that Electron isn't terrible [1]. Based on the discussion, we're going to look a lot deeper into finding ways to reduce E…

Agreed, it's quite an inspiration as to the best Electron can be. I think the trick for an app like ours is to offload the heaviest pieces to native code, and use Electron purely a…

Thanks for the details! Based on the feedback today, we're going to look into how we can reduce memory usage overall (especially when idle), and CPU usage especially when screen sh…

We're happy you're happy! Please try out the product and let us know if there's anything we can do to improve.

Tuple's done a good job of their minimalist UI (it's largely modeled after Screenhero). With Pop, you can minimize the control panel with 1 click. We'll soon also be adding the abi…
