Agreed. I don’t need a screen or a loud speaker on a voice assistant box. Just make it small and cheap, as promised.

It’s using a lightning network for quick transactions.

You could use Phabricator today.

This looks very promising. In addition to using KOReader I will be able to customize the lock screen and remove Amazon's upsells. I guess the only downside is that I won't be able …

If anything they could depend even more on these individual purchases.

Do you know if that affects movies bought through Apple’s TV app (US)? I have quite a few movies in my collection and would be really annoyed if they didn’t work in Europe.

Is there a non-DRM format + an e-reader combo that allows for bookmarks, text selection, dictionary search? Ideally I would prefer to keep my Kindle but would really love to buy an…

This is really sad. Artificial constraints on a medium that was supposed to democratize access to information. I am right now in line to borrow the new DeGrasse Tyson’s book and wi…

It’s not about biased tools though. I would use a device invented by a Nazi scientist. In fact we all benefit daily from scientific discoveries made in oppressive, violent, bigoted…

That doesn’t sound like a valid criticism of cloud service providers. Or shovel sellers.

Do you think older tech companies are migrating from pure backend to API+React architecture because it’s trendy and fun? When was the last time you read about a UI heavy web app mi…

This is one of those cases when Jira is suffering from its UI/IA mess. It has lots of good feature but the discoverability is horrendous, which leads to so much user (my) confusion…

This positioning is confusing as most of the features are an overkill for a solo engineer/entrepreneur/etc. The free tier is not a perfect fit a solo person for the same reason. Wo…

Only for personal use though. Any team of 2+ people will struggle to keep track of paper notes.

My experience is different regarding Electron apps. Many of the Electron apps I use (Spotify, Slack, Notion) have a web UI option. I never use it and now just a handful of people w…

I think we need to define better (or re-define) what offline support actually means. Even an ideal fantasy implementation of a PM app with offline support will have limitations unl…

Linear looks great! I love how focused it is on this specific problem area. I don’t find all-in-one apps like OPs very useful. Can’t replace all my tools like chat, docs, project m…

"Easier" is a difficult word to describe and agree on. Building rich UI is incomparably faster and more enjoyable in React than it is in Django or RoR (hence why most rich web UIs …

API can be a very thin layer that a well constructed client can utilize right from the "view" (a React component). A template file in a backend framework is a one-way feature in th…

Having heard of Django-Ninja before. Looks really good! If I understand correctly it would allow me to keep the best parts of Django (ORM, Admin UI) and build a FastAPI-inspired AP…

There is also a very big difference in dev experience/toolset and dev velocity between RoR templates and React. Large apps that use RoR or Django templates become very messy and un…

I absolutely love Django and used it for many many years for all my new projects. Nowadays I only use it in a very limited set of use cases. Having an instant admin UI is a huge ad…

They will probably start with that and progressively replace all parts. Having a mixed front end framework is a very inefficient setup and a bad dev experience. Much easier to just…

A crypto exchange had nothing to do with crypto?
