I got blocked by Microsoft for trying to advertise on DDG. I signed up for a new account (no prior M$ affiliation to start from), imported my Google Ads campaign, paid them a hundred bucks and was almost ready to spend. Then I uploaded my W

I wanted to try out your service but I don't have any accounts with Google or Microsoft properties (incl Github), so I can't sign up

Yeah, Apple has a rule against simple wrappers. Check out bubblewrap if you haven’t already. It’s made by Google specifically for wrapping PWAs for the Play Store. There’s a tiny bit of work to make a keystore and manifest file, otherwise i

Hello fellow map maker! I feel like I’m in the same boat. PWAs work great, I wish Apple would treat them as first class apps. I tinkered with launching a TWA for my app on the Play Store and it works pretty well but I haven’t published it y

reading that tweet it came across to me that he set the agent up for failure. garbage in, garbage out! maybe a more fair comparison would have been a prompt to design & implement the renderer with a clean start. throwing it all out and

thanks for the tips about CarPlay development. I'll definitely target parity with the web app at first so hopefully it'll be something I can get access to eventually regarding (1), yes, you keep the routes you made even after your

thanks for trying it out! I actually happen to have a trip planned for next month in Shenandoah and Blue Ridge Pkwy, looks like that loop is a little out of reach for us this trip but I want to go back to hit Tail of the Dragon and others I

I had the same issue planning roadtrips where the journey is the destination. I’ve paid for apps like InRoute despite poor UX, inability to access my routes from desktop, and zero collaboration support I got increasingly frustrated looking

I'll have to try that. how does it compare to using playwright? it seems like one advantage of playwright is being able to use it with multiple browsers, at least as far as web development goes. if these browser-specific tools end up b

is the LLM not acting on your stated intent? maybe you can find a middle ground, where you can plan and act in small enough chunks that it doesn't start getting its "own" ideas about what to do, or how to do it a chainsaw is

It does not include shipping. I paid an extra $30 for shipping a 40mm cube. It’s the only reason I didn’t comment initially in support of an otherwise cool service

yep! it's really helpful. I have different accounts on my gitea server for various bots and agents with restricted access scopes. it's been great for making branch protections like mandatory reviews actually enforceable

gitea runs well on a low end server in my experience. self hosting on hetzner and it's somehow the holy trinity of cheap, fast and reliable. I previously (years ago) self hosted gitlab but I remember it being very slow which was the re

I first heard something similar taking motion design classes in art school: every frame should look good. Transitions and animations that have bad in-betweens look bad overall

There’s no free lunch, it takes time and effort still. And expertise if you need it to be robust. In terms of velocity, let me offer some numbers. In 6 months I generated >150k lines of code and merged 10k PRs to ship and iterate on htt

Thanks for the feedback. As it is right now, only one person needs to subscribe in order to collaborate. I’ll definitely make that clearer in the marketing material! I like your emoji suggestion. I realized little while ago I need to distin

No, and while that does sound like a pretty obvious feature I should clarify the app is about planning, not turn-by-turn directions. You can open Plot Along routes in Google Maps, Apple Maps, multiple GPS formats and more The idea is everyo

I wanted a faster, easier mapping app to plan motorcycle rides for myself and with groups, so I finally bit the bullet and started building my own at the beginning of this year. I got to the MVP state which was useful for my personal use ca

I've worked with some people who only seem to care about 2. as in, they don't try the feature in any way, but come back with comments about "this isn't tested enough" even though it has higher coverage than the code

I have to agree with OP, in my experience it is usually more productive to start over than to try correcting output early on. deeper into a project and it gets a bit harder to pull off a switch. I sometimes fork my chats before attempting t

if you live in the PNW and would like to see some world class bonsai in person, the Pacific Bonsai Museum in Federal Way is a great destination. this time of year is also good for visiting the neighboring rhododendron and azalea garden

thanks for sharing your project. how was your process different compared to pre-claude design? would you use it again?

this is not true in my experience. prefab kits of all sizes (from sheds to houses to barns, like were once possible to order from a Sears catalog) have worse tolerances than a carpenter working on site. you can measure 3 times and cut perfe

Darktable has really improved over the last couple years. It used to have some pretty confusing workflows and lots of overlapping modules, but somehow it's been getting cleaned up and polished into something of an intuitive app. It is
