This makes me curious on what type of data my bank (and others) share with companies involved in these ad/offer-type systems. This announcement doesn't seem like it's anything new on the consumer side, instead it's a pla

I agree. I usually finish most books I start but Snow Crash was an exception. I can't quite articulate my distaste. Looking back, one of the small things that ticked me off was Hiro Protagonist – I couldn't take the book seriously

Arc is great but my favorite feature is the simplest. The shortcut 'shfit-ctrl-c' to copy your current page's link.

As a Hoosier I'm thankful that they used an example of our absurd pork tenderloins sandwiches.

Would try to target communities that align with your target audience - Twitter, Subreddits, Facebook groups, or Discord. Can also promote more generally on some of these platforms or ProductHunt Another method, guerilla testing, worked well

I wish we had more control over default apps in general. Similar to the settings for email, browser, calendar, etc.

Other Reddit enshittification is their pushiness to use the mobile app. Great UX case study here, this guy makes them very entertaining - https://builtformars.com/case-studies/reddit Also related, Cory Doctorow's

This map makes my optimistic about humankind. Similar to https://patrickcollison.com/fast . Amazing we can achieve such feats, it's inspiring.

You're right about the multiple logins with discord critique. A seamless switcher would be nice to have.

Nice post. I've found Trader Joe's option to be somewhat decent, but still not better than Huy Fong's. Like this blog though, will be diving into more posts.

I agree, this is my main critique of Slack. Discord's approach to servers as only requiring one login for many makes way more sense. Compared with Slack's multiple logins for many, way more confusing.

Still wild to me that their tool only exists in Discord. I know a lot of artists feel threatened with Midjourney/Stable Diffusion. I wonder if there would be less apprehension if these tools were built more like Photoshop instead of a

It's alright. The visual design is clean but has some accessibility issues and small things that bother me. Dislike the algo-only feed right now (apparently they are working on this). Love the post editor (plus having ~500 characters a
