Yeah, just like Dropbox is two curls duct-taped to an SD card.

My question was legitimate, though.

Remove the word "just" from your question, and you'll magically get a lot more positive feedback!

Sorry JUST remove the word ;)

Hey, I'm Kilian, the creator and solo developer of Polypane. Exciting to see this on the homepage again. Happy to answer any questions folks have!

I brought it to the hn frontpage again. Is this worth getting some free month? ;-)

Haha, email me and we’ll see

Quick feedback: The "Polypane Portal" page hangs after opening it in Chrome on M1 Pro Macbook.

Have any extensions installed that may be blocking requests?

Can't seem to replicate that here (m4 macbook), but I'll keep it open for a bit and see what happens. Thanks for letting me know!

M1 Pro here too, the page doesn't hang, but it's extremely slow to scroll on my end.

You have to sign up, and then this welcomes me: The password has to have: - At least one lowercase letter - At least one number - At least one uppercase letter - At least 8 characters I do not like it when websites (or applications, w/e) do this. I am somewhat OK with "at least 8 characters long" and I even understand its significance (from a security perspective) but not the rest.

Just use the browser's built in password suggestion.

For something not-so-serious I probably should, but my browser does not have one. :D

I like your pricing model.

I don't. Nine dollars per month for an individual? No thanks. Charge what you like. It's your right to do that, but as a hobbyist there's no chance I'm buying.

I built a prototype of something similar with iframes for a gig at eBay a decade ago. Ended up showing it off at the first React conf. Definitely useful to have as much immediate feedback as possible when you're developing.

Glad to see a productized version! Most of my work these days is for internal tools with fixed browser expectations, otherwise I'd probably be downloading a trial right now.

Congrats!

M1 Max MacBook Pro and no issues, fwiw. Just to help provide data.
