Thanks, I had no idea Vinegar existed. The default embedded Youtube player is awful and had me using other browsers to avoid it, none of which I find very good. You’ve made Safari …

It’s not that a mid-drive motor adds more wear, as you note it should be about equal to a bike with no motor. But the hub motor reduces wear, as you are applying less force to the …

I’m the same and have been using it mostly just to keep track of the names of everyone’s jobs, SO, and kids. The site on mobile is usable, an app might help but isn’t required. As …

Nope. My company ended moving off it because it’s not extensible at all. create-poi-react-app is a nice alternative, same functionality (and more) while using webpack chaining and …

Devices from that fruit company are the best bet as far as I can tell. My 3 year old tablet is still getting updates. My 2 year old phone is too, and I expect it’ll continue gettin…

Swiping right from the left edge is the defacto way to go back on iOS. I realize not all apps implement it, but the good ones seem to. It's the thing I miss most every time I use A…

I use another browser on my phone for fb, and it's the only thing I use that browser for. This is amazing! I can finally read all of the messages I had without installing their app…

Nice job! Of all the third party browsers I've tried on iOS, this is the only one that feels as nice as mobile Safari, and the only one I'd consider using full time. Do you have an…

Hangouts is an easy goto, but it uses a ton of system resources. Zoom is amazing for video chat, even with hundreds of people on a call. The screen sharing works well too, and even…

Pre-paid plans seemed to have started their lives as a huge ripoff, and I think they still have that stigma. But MVNOs have made them an amazing value now, and T-Mobile has helped …

I got that the other day. I was kind of excited, until I started using it. I recently started to play the inbox-zero game, and now I have 3 inboxes to sort through, and make sure t…

In my experience, most people don't even know what they are, much less know how to use them. The ads they are used in rarely give the user a reason to engage, so users also don't c…

I was on Tmo's pre-paid plans for years. You can't beat their price. Their coverage left something to be desired though. If you're in city (for me, Chicago and later Phoenix), it w…
