Black holes don’t live forever. In principle, an external observer could watch you until the black hole evaporates. As mentioned above, if they never saw you fall in, then you neve…

For a region of space with time dilation approaching infinity, red shift to temperatures below even the microwave background would be nothing .

Agreed. Couldn’t black holes warp spacetime to the extent that there is no such place as “inside”? Time dilation is infinite at the event horizon, after all. As you approach the ev…

Ironically, this is a great way to build actual products (if you’re open to letting them grow). Three years ago I created a simple app for my family and friends to share recipes to…

I’m excited to start working on the Android version of Umami ( https://umami.recipes ). Like the iOS version, I’m building it 100% native, this time with Jetpack Compose.

I like to ask people _how_ non-deterministic laws of nature would give rise to free will, and listen as they stumble toward the realization that determinism is orthogonal to the su…

Awesome work. Love your clean design and copy. Unwind has one of the best App Clip experiences I’ve seen. I’ve similarly built an app for my family to collaborate on recipes which …

> does the server fetch the html itself? Yep, the client just sends the recipe URL and then the server fetches the HTML. Agreed, it would be better to have the client send the HTML…

It's few enough users right now that I can cover the couple bucks per month in server costs. If more people start to use it, I'll make it paid (either upfront or subscription, not …

Wow, this is awesome! Your layout, subtle dividers, and serifed font really come together perfectly. At the moment, Umami's scraping is done server-side. I'd really like to speed i…

I just added multi-ingredient keyword search across all of your recipes to Umami ( https://www.umami.recipes ). If you’re on iOS, I’d recommend checking it out!

You may be right. My hope is the AVP is at least step toward something that could make potentially dangerous physical activities, like cooking, safer (e.g., by showing you the temp…

A temperature indicator is such a good idea. I’m going to add this to Umami.

Honestly, I'm excited to start building AR-enhanced cooking experiences for Umami[1]. I worry though: is the passthrough reliable enough to use a sharp kitchen knife safely while w…

I initially created Umami for my family. We'd been using a giant google sheet of recipes that my wife made (one recipe per tab plus a table of contents at the front), but the UX of…

I'm open to it! Right now it runs on firebase and a unary gRPC service (nodejs). Probably firebase could be swapped out for supabase, and gRPC is easy enough to host.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. > 1. Import from other recipe apps. Definitely agree. A couple days ago, someone asked for a Paprika recipe importer, which I've added here: https…

Thanks! Hopefully will have something in the next few months.
