Just chiming in to say I love bearblog, it's a fantastic platform! I'd be interested to know how you monetise it, or if it's unmonetised, then how you plan on doing so in the future if the platform grows past a hobby project.

I'm interested, but without your text here I'd have no idea this was a task list/note taking app. There's not a single mention of that on the site, if I were discovering this for the first time I'd think it was a &q

FYI - the landing page tells me nothing about what it is you're selling, and "Why PlanFlow" leads to "Access Denied". I don't want to give away my email if I've no idea what it is I'm signing up for.

The only example you gave for app such as you describe was Duolingo, for which I pointed out that the data is useless outside the context of the app. For business applications, the conversation may be different, but for the consumer ("

I'd argue that if the data is that specific to the app (e.g. which trees and courses of Duolingo you've completed), then if the app dies, the data is irrelevant. Either the data is useful outside the context of the app, in which

"Just make it one click to store it in a wide selection of remote storage options" is easier said than done. From the standard user's point of view, they don't need to be reguarly exporting, they can just use that option

by 600frogs 6y ago
For the vast majority of users, isn't having solid export options enough, or even better than this? Your average non-techie isn't going to want to configure each app to get syncing with NextCloud or Dropbox working just right, the

Ahah oops, fixed! I wasn't aware of its Swedish origins, I kind of assume everything is American on the internet until proven otherwise (coming from a Brit)

I suppose I'm coming at it from a different angle - I'm expecting my game to flop, but want to learn something from it. I'd rather that something learnt to include a "real" language rather than a script designed for

Yeah that's why I dismissed it - way overkill, both in terms of resources used and the development (at least from what I can tell). It seems like 2D is an afterthought, with it just locking the camera in a 3D space to a particular axis

What made you settle on Godot instead of any other engines? I'm looking into making a mobile game and I'm looking at Defold, Solar2D (previously Corona, heh), and Phaser.js all as potential rivals. Defold and Solar2D both use Lua

Out of interest, why would you not use a hosted service such as bitwarden? I've been appreciating everyone commenting on this thread with their use cases but I haven't seen a single one where is hasn't been easier to do the s

I've never heard of or used Roku before, from a quick search it seems to be a chromecast style stick to plug in to a TV to watch stuff, is there any reason you couldn't plug an RPi or your desktop straight into the TV to watch fro

I suppose the only thing here that really interests me is the backup server, and even then I've got enough (potentially misplaced) faith in iCloud/Dropbox/Google photos to not spontaneously combust at the same time as I lose&

Can someone explain to me the use case of a home server? I've always enjoyed tinkering with RPis, but have never found a good enough reason to keep one running 24/7 as a server. PiHole seems to be the best use case for it, but uBl

Productivity porn is a great name for it. For me, it's akin to a trashy gossip magazine - you know it's kind of trash, but enjoy it for what it is. It always makes me smirk when the videos themselves call out your last point, and

Interesting to see Ali Abdaal's content on HN. I regularly watch and enjoy his videos, but I've come to view them as light entertainment rather than anything genuinely insightful or actionable. They're well-produced and they

I find I'm significantly slower with a trackpad so I'm still using a mouse, but one thing I have been considering is grabbing a trackpad and putting it to the left of the keyboard (as a right-hander) and using it for general scrol

Would you recommend upgrading from the Sculpt to the Surface Ergonomic? I'm also not a fan of the poor F keys, and want to scrap the dongle as well. Any reason not to pull the trigger on the Surface Ergonomic keyboard?

by 600frogs 6y ago
Agreed on the key travel, I know most keyboard enthusiasts refuse to use anything other than mechanical, but I've been through that and come out the other side preferring chiclet - it's just more gentle on the fingers, and imo mor

Thanks for the info, I'll probably continue to deliberate and delay choosing a keyboard for about 3-5 years until my sculpt gives up the ghost and forces my hand. What are you using now, out of curiosity?

Thanks for the warning, doesn't sound too promising! May go back to drawing board on this one. > less ergonomic ... fixed numpad I was aware of these and was willing to reach further for the mouse in exchange for aesthetics, build q

Just a tip, you can do this without any third-party tools by going to Settings -> Keyboard -> "Modifier Keys..." and swapping around the modifier keys on a per-keyboard basis. I ended up uninstalling Karabiner after finding

I can chip in here - I've tried using the sculpt with the receiver plugged into a USB hub on a MacBook and it was completely unusable - every other keystroke was dropped. It works fine when plugged directly into the MacBook though, eve
