It's not configurable right now, but I have seen the feature in other products. If you want to chat about it off-thread, there's a contact form in the options page. Happy to chat.

I'm distributing msix (msixbundle) because it allows me to package a downloadable installer and a windows store upload. You should be able to double click the msixbundle to run the…

I don't mean to imply it's not possible, but I ran into issues packaging with Desktop Bridge and the web started pushing me toward extreme solutions, so I changed course. If there'…

I realize now that the "Support" link is ambiguous. The price/free issue I'll think about how to make that clear, it's a good point. Going to wait for traffic to subside before mak…

Thanks, yeah it is C#/.net9 and WinUI3. I started with C#/WPF, but wanted to get it on the Windows Store and couldn't figure out that would work with WPF.

Hey HN, I made a Windows process monitor for app developers and advanced end users. I wanted a taskmgr system-level graph view per app. Windows procmon, while capable, has always b…

Agreeable LLMs and embedded bias are surely a risk, but I don't think this a helpful frame. Most questions don't have correct answers, so it would follow that you'd want practical …

Apple locks users in with software/services. nVidia locks in add-in board manufacturers with exclusive arrangements and partner programs that tie access to chips to contracts that …

Became unusable for me (Firefox/Win) a few months back on my laptop with integrated intel graphics. Fine on other computers with more capable hardware. The solution was an extensio…

This project started back in the day as native MVVM (UWP). Switched to Blazor Server/electron a few years back. For Maui, I had to move to Hybrid but I'm glad I did. Hybrid is pret…

I've been porting a Blazor/.net 8 project ( https://interro.bot ) to Maui for the past couple months. I just released Android last week, and Mac/iOS is in the pipeline. There are p…

I think with the distributed nature of a desktop app (running headless chrome), outside of cloud infrastructure/IPs, the internet is generally less defensive. It has bought some le…

I'm not sure I've the best antibot solution, but it's handled through some crawler options exposed to the user. Out of the box, I use a (fast) http crawler with my app's user-agent…

Congratulations on shipping, the site looks great. I've been working on a desktop app in the same space (website health/administration). It's been a similarly long journey. I've fo…

I remember Nate Silver speaking of the golden age of online poker, when amateurs were the dominant audience, and a decent (non-pro) strategy player could make a living. Word got ou…

Best feature of Pro is Windows Sandbox, which I use to test/trial app installs in a VM. It's basically a disposable OS that spins up as fast as most apps. Sandbox runs on Hyper-V, …

> The Upwork job posting asks the applicant to "fix bugs and resopnsiveness [sic] on website" and claims to pay between $15 and $20 hourly for a task expected to take under a month…

The CO2 is going back into the atmosphere regardless, if the wood is not burned, it will decompose.

Interest rates and the cost of rolling over debt, likely.

Just one opinion--but as long as you're offering a free beta, you shouldn't worry about it. Getting users in the loop early is usually the better option. As for coping with rejecti…

In the aughts, when everyone was rolling their own framework, security and maintenance were a nightmare. It's undeniable. We traded one problem for another, however, and we've gone…

Something is off. The article is pretty clear that is referencing US attitudes, but the linked paper contains a sample from the Netherlands alone.

It's not statistically incorrect. KPIs are generally discussed in time frames, year over year, quarter over quarter. There is year over year growth in multiple jobholders, three ye…
