ChatGPT on macOS isn't built with Electron, at least the last time I checked. Just checking the linked frameworks shows that it links against macOS AppKit and the Swift libraries. From a user perspective can definitely tell too, it&#x2

One can imagine that resolving this will require a separate model to construct a timeline/keyframe series from a text description then interpolate between them. Fascinating times, either way this is allegedly being open–sourced, so I&#

Such a wonderful read. Think of childhood or teenage years when you spent hours building things for the sheer joy of it, profit motive be damned. More of us could do with sabbaticals to explore projects like this as an adult. Build out in t

Appears that (wording is somewhat vague) apps which only store user data on the device do not need to go through this external security assessment. Agree that this is Google pushing their security costs onto developers and effectively killi

Think the fairest model is one where you pay once for the app, updates are free for a set period of time, then you have to pay again to upgrade if you wish to. If not, the old version is yours indefinitely. Well aware that the App Stores do

Second this. As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, billions of people are going to come online over the next five to ten years. If (according to the World Economic Forum: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/05&#

I would love to post it on Product Hunt. I just don't have posting privileges on there yet.

Nope, I'm just a fan of the Beatles. I don't know about assigned addresses, but for a long time Apple has used an imaginary John Appleseed.

Yep, I realise that 'Absolutely free' is a bad choice of words and I will amend. Thanks for the feedback

I would gladly support Inbox, but I can't currently link to a specific thread in Inbox, so clicking a notification would just dump you at the inbox of your email account. Behind the scenes, it looks to me like Inbox is a new GUI on top

There is no use of IMAP, it's using the Gmail API. It does poll the Gmail API frequently which is currently the recommended method of checking for new email according to Google. I know at some point they will switch to PubSubHubbub as

My reasoning was that most people only have one email account and thus would be fine with the free version. As to why in-app purchase, I wanted people to be able to use it first without payment. In-app purchase has been growing in popularit

Firstly, this is fantastic. Really beautiful work and you've reframed what I thought was possible with CSS animations. The CSS is remarkably economical and I notice that you aren't using any javascript libraries other than jQuery. Can you s

Not a bad list, but I've never understood the reasoning behind frequency word lists. The 5,000 most common words in a new language are the ones that I need to worry about least, simply because I'm going to be encountering them so frequently
