I honestly think it's pretty amazing how cheap air travel already is in the USA and Europe. It explains why we're seeing all time highs for air travel. The air industry seems like a good example of just the right level of regulati

As a former figma engineer, let me be the first to say that Evan Wallace is, in fact, a legend. A true 100x-er. There's still parts of the codebase basically no one at Figma really understands that Evan wrote back in the day. One examp

Wow that would be awesome! Shapes/Records are definitely the #1 thing I'm missing from moving over from TypeScript. I started thinking about this a bit and I came up with the conclusion that the single biggest difference between s

We've been starting to use Sorbet at Figma and honestly it's been pretty cool! Sorbet is definitely not as good at TypeScript (yet?). It's more verbose, doesn't support things like recursive types and records (shapes are

I see it completely differently. For a lot of the people that get to that level of wealth, it was never about the money. It was always about something else. I don't think the Bezos, Zuckerbergs, and Musks of the world wake up every mor

China does absolutely scare the crap out of both it’s own people and people abroad, but economically it’s clear they’ve done a lot of things right over the last 40 years. The US could learn a thing or two from the communists when it comes t

I think that's a valid opinion. But, I do think that users do notice the difference. I think you're right that they'll "feel" an application hogging their CPU more than they'll feel one doing so with memory, bu

Creator of Watercooler here. I do agree with you that Electron is an amazing platform and definitely has a lot of cool, solid use cases, but that doesn't mean that every single app we use _should_ be written in Electron. Recently, it f

Thank you for the kind words. Everything you said is exactly my motivation for building this. Please let me know what the experience of using it is like and what can we do to keep improving it. When it comes to comparing this to Zoom, I wou

Screensharing in Messages does exist, but it's convoluted. This experience is (in my very biased opinion) way nicer.

Exactly! Give it a try and let me know what you think.

We're very, very close to coming out with a browser client soon. The experience is not as nice as the native one, but it will solve this issue of being able to use it with anyone. If you're looking to test it out with anyone, feel

The screenshot does show slightly higher CPU. We wanted to remain honest in that way. Strictly speaking, CPU usage is lower if you use Watercooler over having to open your browser to do a video call (if you add up all processes) and it&#x27

The two mains reason right now would be because you can do screensharing and because this is not tied to your iCloud account in any way. In the future, we will probalby have other clients other than the macOS one.

Hi HN, Creator of Watercooler here. Happy to answer any questions! A little more Watercooler: For the past couple of months I’ve been doing a lot of video calls. Personally, I didn’t quite like any of the video call apps out there. The ones

Slightly unrelated, but does anyone actually use DO in production? We're on GKE and with their new Kubernetes offering, I've considered switching but just haven't talked to a single person who uses it in production at work.

Is it able to do something "dumber", like just adding a class to the <body> element to then modify what shows up with just CSS? (Tried finding documentation on your site, but seems like it's not a thing).
