No comment on the app, but the website was not scrolling smoothly on my iPhone 15 Pro.
Yeah I started to literally feel the heat in my fingertips and had to eject!

#22That website almost set my phone on fire
i restarted my phone thinking something was wrong with it

#23It set my 32 core Threadripper on fire. I’ve never seen a site so laggy and bad that wasn’t because of a thousand ads.

#24I have never heard the fans on my 2021 16" MBP until I opened this website. GPU usage spiked to 65% when opening the site in Firefox, enough to trigger the fan on this otherwise silent machine.

#25I must be well out of the loop because I had no idea that the notch was anything other than a cosmetic trick to hide the camera.

My iPhone, which has one of the most recent chips, is burning hot right now.

#28Expectation: "Quake terminal" implies playing Quake, possibly in some Asciinema-type way. Maybe just starting the built-in Quake terminal without the game-play. Reality: a regular terminal that starts in the notch and expands to normal window. I guess it's somehow based on the terminal that was in Quake but that was only really used for issuing quake commands, not really for being a posix-compliant, VT-100 compatible…
"Quake terminal" has been a term of art for a regular terminal that drops down from the top of the screen like the terminal in Quake did for the last 20-22 years. I remember this being a thing when I started using Linux back then. https://github.com/Guake/guake https://babbagefiles.xyz/quake-drop-down-terminal-history/ Yakuake, Kuake (2003), etc.
TIL and TIL Windows Terminal supports it, and by default it uses tilde key like the real one that's not available in my keyboard. pain.

#30Cool idea! Unfortunately the terminal doesn't really work when using fish shell. The prompt is always stuck at the top. Also the "artificial" notch is larger than the physical notch and even larger than the menu bar which is mildly unsatisfying and I didn't find an option to adjust the size.
