For those watching YouTube on Android, I'd strongly recommend NewPipe (via F-Droid)[0]. Its feature-set probably exceeds that of the official YouTube app, plus you can import your subscriptions and there are no ads and I think most if

Despite having little interest in buying one myself, a suite of specially-developed surprise games seems like an interesting idea kinda like the Humble Indie Bundles... plus the upcoming web-based SDK to make your own! Also cool to see the

Sorry to hear that, but I appreciate your words of warning. I go to loud clubs / live music a lot (pre covid) and despite knowing I should probably wear earplugs, I don't. Perhaps club revival post-lockdown is the time for me to b

#1 That's fair. Each to their own. For me I wouldn't be willing to pay even £1 a year for it. #2-4 Firstly, just because it can be forked is not to say that it will. It's not easy to maintain a whole project in your spare tim

Absurd? I'm definitely more confident that Fish/Zsh will stay free forever without changing their incentives, licensing and pricing than a YC-backed startup whose primary goal is to make money.

Nice website, but I wouldn't switch to this from Fish/Zsh on account of: 1. Cannot identify any killer features above what I already have with forever free tools with much larger support communities. 2. Less trust in you as a YC s

maybe Syncthing (for Android, ideally syncthing-fork via F-Droid) will work for you. Share modal, cross platform, works with or without a centralised server.

Useful tips, decent illustrations, strongly focused (~60%) on web form tips. Also, on p18 "Show password rules right away", I would change this to "Remove the requirement for so many pointless password rules" encouraging

Simpsons-specific content starts around 50% into the interview. My favourite snippet: >Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the fir

Thanks for linking this, I hadn't come across this before. You're right there does seem to be some very recent progress. I'll have a go with what's in the master branch there.

Interesting that the HFP is usable for you. When I've tried to get it working on Linux using blueman, pavucontrol and pulseaudio-bluetooth, switching to HFP is so terrible that I default back to the trusty 3.5mm TRRS jack for calls. I

Ignorance is bliss - and I genuinely don't mean this in a negative way. I was perfectly happy with my cheap keyboard until I got tempted into a mechanical and now I love it. But it's great to be happy with what you have. Desire ca

I'm not even asking for generalisation, I appreciate you're a solo dev. Just be kinder to non US users by warning them before they are several clicks into your flow!

If someone else can clone your idea so easily then surely the idea is likely not to have much value anyway? More importantly, my point was more an expression of disappointment that people are too keen to make quick and easy money through so

Love the idea, enjoyed the interface, but I feel my time was wasted when I only found out the US focus several clicks into the flow. Speaking as someone not from the US, I do wish more websites didn't just assume that all their traffic

I find it strange that it's so normalised to consider something as invasive and manipulative as advertising as the standard method of monetisation. How about trying to make a product so good that it has some intrinsic value that a user

I prefer to stick to physical recipe books from trusted chefs. Sure, the internet can deliver the breadth and depth, but to wade through this comes not only with the large search cost but also with the risk of a poor recipe... and don'

I think many people are missing the point. I'd say the emphasis in the title is more on the "need" than the "don't". Sometimes, you're in the terminal and something needs to be done quickly and knowing the

My good old friend, the Nextcloud scan utility :) I lost count of the number of times I ran that and the trashbin cleanup. These are both problems I never ever want to have to deal with.
