I made the jump to AFFiNe ( https://affine.pro/ ) a few months ago and have really liked using it. I am able to self host and have found it to be a _nearly_ 1:1 replacement for Notion. Affine's database implementation is

It is suitable for individuals, I used it for a couple years and was very happy with it. I only decided to move on because I wanted a local database that I could mine as my personal knowledge base.

I always go to https://www.govtrack.us/ to view this sort of thing. I don't know if it is _good_ but it's a pretty good tool from my point of view

What do you mean by "an executive branch that is controlled by a city" ? I thought the executive branch was headed by the president who then has most of the say about who heads up the departments. I don't think the president

I totally agree and is probably the main reason I don't use my Rift more - it takes me to another location. > unless you live by yourself Is a very important point, I think the social (especially with covid) aspect of VR for people

I had a similar and frustrating issue where my 2 factor auth was re-enabled after I manually disabled when I knew I was giving up my phone. They eventually helped, but it took longer than I would like.

I don't know about that - I can pick up a ESP8266 dev board for under $5 individually on mouser - I feel like I should be able to get that cost down significantly if I am building millions. I am not an expert in manufacturing at all bu

Fair enough, I am not a graphic designer and I am using Angular Material colors in the app - I thought they looked interesting enough that it might get some attention so I used them there - and then carried that over into the landing/h

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you want to post it here - why use a throwaway account?

I built a cash forecasting app ( http://www.money-stew.com ) that I use religiously to verify that I won't have any trouble paying my bills. I actually managed to get some traffic and ad revenue ($100< a month) when I firs

Do you honestly believe that complaints are not classified and plugged into some sort of analytics system at the absolute minimum? I could never imagine that any company with half a clue would not be trying to quantify their support request

I do agree that a product that functions on bad code is better than no product at all. If there where very terrible design decisions made in the beginning. This could have a very negative impact as the business starts to add customers. A te

It is always listening just like your dog is always listening. If you are not talking to it and you are not saying its name you are being (mostly) ignored. Most of the time, it is not paying attention - the chip that is processing the sound

According to their Wikipedia entry [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix#IT_infrastructure ], they are storing all the content on S3. I have to imagine that they have some pretty good contracts with Amazon though.

I was thinking this too, only about jet skis and other RVs (I was hoping that is what I would find when I clicked on the link) - I would think there is a lot of opportunity for something like Airbnb for four wheelers, jet skis, camping trai

My biggest issue with buying an unsubsidized phone is that I would still be paying the carrier a premium for subsidizing a phone purchase (to my understanding) without actually getting that benefit. (I guess there are other carriers, I have

Ok, one huge grip - don't make me verify my email, that adds a whole huge step to the account creation process. Also, If I click on a link in the blog, the feedlooks bar should go away, I dont want that hanging around - or at least open t

I think you are kind of missing what is going on with a lot of html 5 development. There is actually little need to communicate with the server with a lot of web apps. Like illustrator, look at Aviary (I think they use flash right now) but

I agree, with all of that - I just want to emphasize the need to clear up the front page. With all the text the same size I have a really difficult time finding what I need, I had to click on the why page to figure that out (the first line
