Apple can bring in new users beyond Pixelmator's wildest dreams. This is definitely a product/talent acquisition. And Pixelmator has almost 2 decades worth of development already baked in, not sure how anyone can do it cheaper.

You're welcome but frankly I shouldn't do this nor should any one besides Apple. Apple has failed the community of PWM and temporal dithering sensitive individuals for almost a decade now, and hopefully this project can raise awar

Adding USB-3.1 back now will only serve to confuse customers and 3rd party device/accessory manufacturers.

What is "low usage" by Google's standard? A million users? 10 million users? What may look like a blip on Google's radar possibly eclipses a successful startup's entire profit-generating user base.

The Arabic type design community is already tiny, but there's a good number of really beautiful and well-designed Arabic fonts out there, and equally talented designers. My font here doesn't really even compare, it's an amate

Will put up the source code on Github very soon. I just need to organize everything a bit.

It's very hit and miss in terms of code editors. For example Sublime Text has no complex text shaping at all. It actually renders Arabic as disjointed letters. The JetBrains series of IDEs have some Arabic support, in the sense that th

Neat gizmo. But seems you have to be constantly worrying about the power module: - Adjust the unit's placement so flames don't melt the power module - Make sure it doesn't overheat - Re-charge it when not in constant use Also

You can get a dedicated server with 128GB ECC RAM and 2 SSDs for $188 at Hetzner. 188 bucks. Wow. I guess the original post perfectly explains how such low prices are attainable (no customer support, etc).
