My side project! After an unplanned hiatus (I guess everything comes and go in waves) I want to be more regimented and systematic about improving it over time. Link: https://getloaf.io/

Experience: A piano doesn't have an on/off switch. It can't be anything but a piano. Electronic pianos can be guitars, drum-kits, or entire orchestras! It can feel more like a toy than an instrument, especially for younger ch

This funding amount is insane. Also, bypassing publishers (which I'm assuming what is happening) is quite clever too.

This is true... but I like the automatic switching when it does work :) I try my hardest not to adjust Apple defaults too much because on the whole, I really like their design decisions and their UX. So I don't want to start straying t

Basically, yes. That's been my experience. Even though I listed all of these annoyances, I still really like them :)

Fantastic article. As a UI designer, I feel like the little bit of "Extra" work that I've done in my career has paid off extremely well. Of course, you need a manager who understands the intent behind your Extra work is that

It's interesting you equate HN with IG/Twitter/FB/reddit. While there are similarities, they are quite different from each other. If you are worried that HN will become your last bastion, perhaps you could find other onl

I hadn't thought of many of these things, thanks for raising them. The flip side of not using Electron.js and going for native development (which would help solve these points) would mean I never would have shipped Loaf. That's th

Yes, the fact this issue is literally a one line CSS change is what attracted me so strongly to using Electron.js. I'm all for software engineers building amazing macOS/Windows apps, but I wouldn't have any idea how to make t
