    Such a wonderful read. Think of childhood or teenage years when you spent hours building things for the sheer joy of it, profit motive be damned. More of us could do with sabbatica…

    An excellent book. David Deutsch is a talented writer and this is one of those books that shifts the way you look at the world.

    IMAP can be awkward with sync, pagination and has never played great with labels vs folders. JMAP looks promising.

    Think the fairest model is one where you pay once for the app, updates are free for a set period of time, then you have to pay again to upgrade if you wish to. If not, the old vers…

    Second this. As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, billions of people are going to come online over the next five to ten years. If (according to the World Economic Forum: https:…

    I would love to post it on Product Hunt. I just don't have posting privileges on there yet.

    Not a bad list, but I've never understood the reasoning behind frequency word lists. The 5,000 most common words in a new language are the ones that I need to worry about least, si…
