The author literally spells out why this isn't always the case: > Yes to start out it’s 95% booleans. But then you want a rollout. And then you want some targeting rules. And then you want non booleans… maybe some json. Oo wouldn’t

Will definitely consider this after I clean things up. Note that it's completely vibe coded though.

Came to the same conclusion too – I appreciate that it exists, but the UI felt really complicated and disorganized.

I really like that this exists, but I found the menus and UI to be rather non-intuitive. My main use case was to sync reading progress between my Kobo and my iPhone. I was able to do this using KOReader on the Kobo & the Readest app[1]

Hey kepano, really love the work you're doing! Here are some feature I wish existed in Obsidian without any plugins: * Dataview [1] (this is now solved with Bases, so I really appreciate that) * Folder Note [2] (I, and I assume many ot

Love Obsidian but I've previously commented about the security model for plugins here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45308131 . TLDR: your entire vault (and possibly filesystem) is exposed to every single plugin

Github has 84.92% uptime in the last 90 days according to https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses I don't know how this is even remotely close to acceptable.

⬆ Huge upvote for this find as I've been looking for a way to do this recently. I tried the yabai + skhd recently, but I didn't like that I had to disable System Integrity Protection.

This sounds like an engineering quality problem rather than a tooling problem. Well structured redux (or mobx or zustand for that matter) can be highly maintainable & performant, in comparison to a codebase with poorly thought out useSt

I believe Gary Marcus is quite well known for terrible AI predictions. He's not in any way an expert in the field. Some of his predictions from 2022 [1] > In 2029, AI will not be able to watch a movie and tell you accurately what is

> a semi-random word generator Calling tools like Claude Code a "semi-random word generator" is certainly a choice, and I suspect it won't age well.

Shameless self plug, but my workout tracking app[1] uses a sync engine and it has drastically simplified the complexities of things like retry logic, intermittent connectivity loss, ability to work offline etc. Luckily this is a use case wh

Specific permissions declared in a manifest much like browser extensions could be a good first step.

Perhaps, but I think what you might put onto Obsidian (personal thoughts, journal entries etc) can be more sensitive than code.

This is one way to look at it, but ignores the fact that most users use third party community plugins. Obsidian has a truly terrible security model for plugins. As I realized while building my own, Obsidian plugins have full, unrestricted a

This was also my experience when I last tried around 4 months ago. I ran into a lot of bugs and often found myself opening sites in safari instead. I hope it's improved now.
