Similarly, why don't photos get auto-straightened, maybe with an option to revert to original? I spend too much time aligning the horizon properly on snapshots that I took while cycling. The phone even has the data from the rotation se

A different UX issue I have with these buttons is that the designers seen to have chosen the wrong rotation direction. I almost always need to rotate photos 90⁰ to the right, so I have to tap that button three times. Apart from that, if I

I was too, and I was going to ask whether this is a good use of taxpayer money, as the ICANN fee for registering a TLD is $227,000. But given the fact that the Web was invented at CERN, I could imagine that they got a special deal. Happy to

As an aside, Rogue Amoeba are one of an ecosystem of great and greatly passionate indie software houses for the Mac. All of them create excellent software with polished UIs, provide excellent support and never forget to have fun. This seems

Let me be the first to say that this is a lovely website in a lovely, slightly modernized turn-of-the-millennium style.

*Every* time I try to be smart on HN, there's ~someone who outsmarts me~ an opportunity to learn - and that's one of the reasons why I keep coming back. Thank you :)

I'm fairly certain that the YouTube logo, especially the original one, is meant to symbolize a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) TV like this one: https://spencertified.com/cdn/shop/collections/Sears-Solid-S... (

Japanese overdesign is not only about removing inconveniences, it's also about bringing a bit (or even a lot) of joy into using seemingly mundane products - just like this highlighter. Just knowing that a lot of thought went into the p
