There is a reason I had to lock my better version of this ( https://quickish.site ) behind Google OAuth to start. Like it or not, this type of stuff is going to be more popular than it was when Netlify / Heroku was doing it a

I built this by testing a workflow for a service I started (hobby project) called quickish ( https://quickish.site ). You can just remix this (basically forks it and hosts it on your own space on quickish) for free. Can be public

For those finding it now: Added more realistic flap sound effects. Mobile improvements. UI tweaks with flap animations. You can remix this and make your own, change it, etc. Download the source and have some fun. Thank you all!

I don't disagree at all on the AI design. I can do a bit more (I have worked as a senior UI engineer at Nike and AWS), the reality is many of the parts I wanted to focus on outside the UI of the flaps got that "Claude Designed Thi

Sound could be better.

I tried to use a more digital sound at first, then went a step more realistic (ElevenLabs actually) but would have preferred to just record a real one.

If you were to "Remix" it and have it on your own quickish page that settings dialog appears however it is simply an oversight on my part that it doesn't say that explicitly.

A pretty common one is jsPlumb - https://jsplumbtoolkit.com/ - might be what you're looking for. I'm sure there are others as well.

My point on this isn't that you should write ugly, unmaintainable code because who cares. It's that, if you're an experienced and intelligent engineer, you're going to do just fine. There's no need to complicate it,

This is something I preach often, even at FAANG. Often engineers feel comfortable and in-the-zone when solving for a process. One saying I often delivery is: Engineers often think their job is to build things. That's not the whole stor

Have to touch on this as it's a common theme to my response. There absolutely are regulations. However, regulations being in place, and the enforcement of these regulations are different. STIR/SHAKEN is a requirement, however it&#

At one point I worked on the very systems they used (dialers, PBX, internal CRMs), with the carriers that enabled it. This wasn't an opinion of mine, I was merely passing along real-world information from someone who worked in the indu

I built telecommunications systems / software for some time. The unfortunate truth here is that telecom carriers absolutely already have everything they need to largely put a stop to it but they knowingly ignore it. It's the bigge

Completely disagree here. See my comment in the main thread of this post. A startup could net anywhere from 200k/yr for a state park contract to 15m+/yr depending on the state. However, realistic cap on revenue with a healthy mar

The worst (best) part is that it was only caught when they did because the attacker got greedy and tried to double dip. Would be interesting to find out how they turned a phishing attack into that.

This is a very complicated topic that seems to see a lot of conflation, as it does in this article. It's really hard for a social network to maintain a balance, especially with how many try flooding them with very hard to verify, false

Absolutely not. I didn't want to use a comment to talk about our project and hijack the comments section, just to provide where my perspective is coming from and that even with that I like the idea and Mastodon's approach. To be c

Perhaps buried in these comments is this but after reading a lot of the "takeaways" many people had from this I have to say the reality is much simpler. People (Customers, VCs, Entrepreneurs) can empathize or sympathize with stori
