   Have you tried and failed, or you're just worried it might be hard? When I first set up a client for API calls, I put this paragraph in my system prompt: > Never ask questions or attempt to keep the conversation going -- answer the

   It seems at least mostly on topic to share here this thing I released a little over a year ago: https://www.swapadoodle.com It's definitely not useful for the same things, but it has a lot of similarities and seems potentia

   I'd agree with you if it were just the first message. But they then explained exactly what they meant and why, and that's what I offered them feedback on. They apologized to the person they said it to, and it all seems settled fr

   Telling someone "this isn't interesting to you" in place of "I don't want to talk about it" is definitely not polite! I'd say it's rude in general to tell someone they won't find something intere

   I don't know if I'm having one of my hyper-literal moments, or if this is some other neurodiversity thing, but I can't make sense of the last paragraph... Can someone help explain it to me? The way I read it is: * 219-09-9999

   Here's an example of something really adorable made collaboratively by two people. The first person sent the first part to the second person, who used the Doodle-on-Doodle feature to add to it and make an even cuter story out of it.

   Were you using it in a browser? If you just use "Forward" in the browser, you'll go back (that is, forward) to the doodle you created, if you accidentally back out of it. In the native apps you can't go "forward&q

    Thanks so much! I was definitely inspired by Go's (the language I use on the back end) careful balance of well-honed simplicity. There was a lot more work than one might think to keep things so simple!

    Thanks! Yeah, I occasionally considered not including undos and redos, but there's so much positive value that easily outweighs the occasional negatives. Just a couple of the things I love about including them: 1) Much of the gener

    When I first started making the app, Dart existed, but Flutter didn't. Then Flutter existed, but didn't support the web. I thought that was still true, but I just checked, and Flutter for web [ https://flutter.dev&#x2F

    Nope, that's not accurate at all. The native apps support push notifications, in-app payments, native UI elements, proper lifecycle management (storing in-progress doodles across the app being killed in the background, or the device b

    Thanks! I bought two iOS devices to develop on, but I haven't ever used the Messages app. Does it animate the drawing for the recipient, or just show the final image?

    I just launched (like, an hour ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20700196 ) a cross-platform app that is almost all shared code. In my case, the solution is a web app with very lightweight native wrappers, and I&#x2

    Hi, all. OP / owner / founder here. I’m finally launching a product that’s taken me years longer than I’d anticipated to complete. It’s a much bigger project than anything I’ve done before. My first app was the first battery ind
