please don't hijack regular browser shortcuts, or prevent them from working. alt-d to select url bar is not working

Alt-d on my browser adds a Bookmark. I see no problem in hijacking that shortcut.

Are you everyone?

That is only one example of a shortcut which doesn't work.

Photopea has completely replaced my Photoshop usage, and now that I have an Illustrator equivalent, that monthly creative cloud subscription isn't looking too appealing...

I agree Photopea is great but they're asking $8 a month which is only $2 less than Photoshop

Don't you also have to subscribe to Photoshop for a year?

I'm genuinely excited for this. Photopea is great. It's like 80% of the original's functionality.

I don't need to edit vectors illustrations often but when I do I've found it painful. Will definitely turn to this when that happens. (Haven't used product but have blind confidence based on Photopea).

How is this guy like 1000x more productive than a typical developer? Seriously, some business school should do a case study on him to figure out what he’s doing differently!

i imagine it's 1) he reports to himself 2) doesn't have 5 levels of product owners/project managers "figuring out what's best for the end user" that, often doesn't align with the end user's needs and 3) reports to himself

Yeah I’m sure that’s part of it. I think he’s also just ridiculously good at programming and knows how to squeeze every ounce of performance out of a WASM app. One thing he has going for him is that the app design was basically done already for him by hundreds of people over 20+ years to design the original Photoshop interface (he’s basically totally stealing all of that from some old version of Photoshop, maybe version 6 from 2000 or so). It’s still an absolutely insane amount of work though.

it doesnt take a lot to be 1000x more productive in the software world and there are many ways to get there.

10x, sure. 100x, I know there are plenty of people like that across the whole world. I don’t think there are many 1000x devs, and it certainly does take a lot to get there!
