Running the risk of being a dirty reposter and.. reposting. My little Spotify client is for macOS only, mostly only built for my own use, and a lot more minimal, visually. It's also native Swift though, so it's got that nice mac

I feel a bit bad plugging my own project (sorry not sorry i guess), but i wrote a macOS app to scratch my itch, because for years i've hated the Spotify interface (especially the queueing aspect). Curious to know if anyone finds it usa

Apologies, the original title is terrible. Matt Stoller writes very interesting pieces about markets and monopolies, and this one concerns Solarwinds specifically, which feels relevant given that's on the front page at the moment. Th

It's funny this should come up on HN today, because just this week out of nowhere i thought i'd try Mutt again (after having been a Mutt user since mid-2000s, but switching to mu4e for the last ±5 years). What i used to do back in

Hey Chris, thanks for visiting. Author here. We actually have several projects we've tried to launch with varying degrees of traction. One of them ( https://vistaserv.net ) made the rounds here a while ago, actually. We p

My partner and i were laughing about making a retro community website, free of adverts, trying to recapture the spirit of the old Geocities era web. It got a bit out of hand and we came up with https://www.vistaserv.net . I apol

Wow, thank you for putting 2 and 2 together! We have been bothered by these weird spacing artefacts, but we never figured out that they correlated to line breaks in our source code! That's insane. This gives us a lead to investigate

Oh wow, i've stumbled on your site before. It's a masterpiece, and was definitely an inspiration for the work we talk about in this blog post. Super interesting, what you're saying about the OpenType Sanitizer – i'd won

Wow, that's not great – thanks for the report!

We were actually just talking about compiling something like FreeType to JavaScript, but then you'd find yourself re-implementing a browser with layout engine etc... However, your other idea is great! You might enjoy https:/&#x2

Yep, we deliberately didn't convert the full set of glyphs from each of the fonts we support, mostly just because it was quite laborious (not to mention CPU time-consuming) to generate our relatively small range of weights, sizes, and

That's fair enough, i think it's a matter of taste, really. For me, it evokes a warm sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. Not that it necessarily was, and definitely not that it was better – i was a kid back then, so that has d

We had noticed this early on indeed, but no idea what's going on. Thank you for reporting it — we didn't think of raising it against WebKit since we assumed they'd be Doing The Right Thing™.

Hello! Co-founder here – wow, front page, that's flattering! We have indeed still got a bunch of visual glitches we couldn't iron out, including the one ~saagarjha has reported to WebKit! We had assumed it was our font being broke

The last few weeks have been spent on a pretty obscure project, that's finally kinda sorta ready to show to the world. We were making silly games in Visual Basic 6, because that struck us as a cool thing to do. However, it's hard

This is a good suggestion, thanks. I'll consider giving it a try. > However, I think it's not that easy. 4 digit PIN, one account, I guess it gets flagged fast if someone tries to brute force it. You should try it, hm? Their s
