What device do you have? The animations are kind of resource intensive. There are some performance optimisations if the frame rate drops but perhaps it needs to go further

That's a great idea. If it gets no traction, I'll be in touch. If it does, I might still ask you for some help... If we had access to the same question being asked at different times through history, I bet the answers wouldn'

There should definitely be a standard API for this stuff by now allowing browsers to control the cookie experience. Maybe we're moving in that direction, I'm not sure. I think there was a feeling the law would be rolled back so th

Are you in the UK by any chance? Sounds just like my old commute before I started working from home, and my partner’s current one

I just received two emails from renewals@namecheap.com claiming to be from MetaMask, asking me to complete KYC verification. My first thought was “I guess MetaMask are trying to monetise”. Took me a minute to realise it wasn’t legit

When inflation hit 10% in the UK last month my employer brought forward the annual January pay increase. We all got a 5% bump. Last year it was 1%. Edit: I work in the education sector. Our dev team has 4 people in a company of ~250. It’s n

This sounds a lot like how I work too. If I have to open a bunch of tabs it’s usually temporary and I’ll want to get rid of them again at the earliest opportunity.

Very interested to know if there are any plans to support React Native? I’ve been struggling to find a good library that doesn’t require a web view.

Slightly off-topic, but can anyone tell me how you’d know that your database has been accessed by a threat actor? Should I be periodically reviewing all my logs for something unusual?

I keep hoping they’ll use this for teams. The mobile app is so much more performant (not sure if that’s react native?) and RN for desktop works well but needs more features

One of the best purchases I ever made was about 8 years ago when I bought the Polytune iOS app for less than £5. It does one thing really well, has never tried to take more of my attention than it should with upgrades or ads, and every time

I think they’ll remove the chin eventually, but probably need a new (thinner) screen technology first

Feel bad for asking here, but does anybody have an invite code they wouldn’t mind giving me? I keep hearing good things about the conversations that are happening, but I’ve been on the wait list for months, and I’m not in the clique
