Yes! If anyone wants to start such a project, call me in, or at least let me (and many others) support you financially.

I think about this all the time. A high-quality replica takes tremendous effort and time, but it’s not really financially viable. I’d be happy to be proven wrong. Oh, and I’d be super happy to pay for such a replica too! For example, $99 a

I grew up in China, where the first Star Wars movie wasn't released in theaters until 1999. It had probably been shown on TV in some cities before then, but Star Wars definitely wasn't a well-known pop culture phenomenon there.

The original Star Wars: TIE Fighter was one of the first computer games I played as a teenager. The funny thing is, I had absolutely no idea what Star Wars was, but somehow I still thought the game was really cool and played it for quite a

Exactly. Hard pass on a phone without a 3.5mm headphone jack. People who say, “You can use a dongle” or “Just buy Bluetooth earphones” are missing the point. It’s never about what compromises we, as consumers, can make; it’s about users’ ch

I used all of them in various projects: "traditional" Ajax-based SPAs, HTML over WebSockets/SSE, etc. Then I found Inertia.js and never looked back. With Inertia.js, you get the real feel of an SPA without the complexity of m

Deterministic workflows still have plenty of use cases. AI agents can help build them, but can’t replace them when predictable and auditable execution matters, because agents are inherently nondeterministic. That said, Relay.app announced i

It’s not about what you offer on the free tier. It’s about whether what you say matches what you do. If your page asks people to try the product, let them try it. Asking them to enter something and click “Try,” only to immediately hit a sig

Thank you! Finally, someone with insider knowledge telling the real story.

It's not safe or reliable, no matter how hard you try. Fundamentally, agents will try whatever they can to achieve the goal, as we've seen in many recent security incidents. If determinism is important, as it is in many business u

Please don't let users "try" your product only to immediately hit a signup/signin wall. It instantly undermines whatever trust the demo may have established.

Maybe it’s because I’m old, but the classic Mac OS user interface looks so good. I’d trade the current Mac OS UI for it in a heartbeat. I’m already sticking with Sequoia because I don’t want Liquid Glass making my eyes sore.

Yes! You are not alone. The name Mac OS X has always felt special to me.

Just wow! I’m speechless! Can’t think of any other word than “legendary”.

Anything similar for Windows users? My wife is suffering from car sickness as she works on taxi a lot.

I’ve been helping teams automating their routine work using https://aquablue.app , an AI employees app I built. For example, syncing orders from e-commerce sites to their internal spreadsheets, generating invoices with custom wo

Slightly off-topic: the old Aqua UI looks so much better. Not only it was much easier to see what's a control and what's text, but it also looked visually nicer (subjective, I know).

Exactly. I don't know why some people'd change the branding.

Exactly. Very clever name!

Wow, this is very close to an app I’m building. My take is that the key part is not just generating the workflow, but making it reviewable and deterministic enough that businesses can actually trust it.

Absolutely! I wish projects like nextspace could get more love.

Maybe I’m nitpicking but there is no such thing as “macOS Tiger”. It’s called Mac OS X at the time so it’s Mac OS X Tiger.

"Amaze, amaze, amaze!" I wonder if there would be interest in an Asahi Remix spin focused on a more Mac-like out-of-the-box experience: cmd as the main modifier key, Mac-like keyboard shortcuts, theming, gestures, etc. Of course,

Nah, that was solved decades ago. We had water-resistant phones with headphone jacks, even with replaceable batteries.
