The app is… fine I guess. I would have preferred a web view because this is just the web app with less features. Unlike the browser, this native app isn’t easily extended / customized. If native app means I get an uglier ui with less

This is the best feature imo. Never again will my time be drained by someone else’s failure to type their spaghetti.

As a relatively new developer of ~4 years considering transitioning from freelance to the work-force, this is disconcerting and demotivating. Makes me wonder whether I should try to pivot, or just weather the storm.

Python will have to pry the Typescript types from my cold dead hands before I choose it on purpose. If anything is going to replace Typescripts web dominance, it will need to offer an advantage.. not a regression. Python would be such a h

Oh wow. Does the gleam LSP still work alongside typescripts in VSCode when editing Gleam scripts in Vue files? If so… I’d love a Svelte version of this.

Nothing dependent on an honor system lasts long (in the US at least). Some bonehead always ruins the nice thing! Life with the inevitable bad actor is worse for everyone… but we manage.

I came here to scream Raycast… but this is a great breakdown. Raycast replaces _so many_ apps (and even web browser functionality) for me, and I’m not even on the Pro tier. To your list, I would add app shortcuts / key commands /

This page is so messed up on mobile. Your charts need a max width set, overflow-x should be hidden, and your code blocks are getting clipped in a gnarly way.

It’s so sad too because it adds so much unnecessary suck to the project.

+1 to Sveltekit. It’s a secret weapon for solo devs. I like to pair it with Pocketbase, Supabase, or Cloudflare KV.

I agree. It is a Nothing burger to me, and it seems like the cancel culture mob mentality is latching onto this. It seems to be leaking onto HN which is rare for me to experience as someone not on traditional social media. I see this as a

It’s the same old shitty engine that needs to be sent to the recycle bin if they hope to have any chance of making a modern AAA game that doesn’t feel like it’s stuck in 2015.

Yes, the bad thing is the popular thing in this space. That is indeed its primary (arguably negative) positive quality.

When I saw they committed to using SVG as their renderer out of some philosophical principle around purity and “using the platform”, I knew the performance potential was doomed from the start. It’s was far too easy to grind penpot to a hal

Why don’t you use a different browser to work with Figma files if yours can’t run it properly?

I just tested this and scrolled for a couple minutes straight — not one short was anything remotely substantive or interesting to me. An endless fountain of brain rot and offensively low quality content. Lots of it ai generated audio (wou

Fig was one of the first dev tools that I have been so happy to be able to use every day and would gladly pay for. I’m very sad about this.

The code quality of GSAP is pretty terrible too. The codebase is prehistoric in terms of best practices, it doesn’t tree-shake well, their package exports are mis-configured, their type definitions are bad or missing, their api’s are wildl

Hand authoring complex SMIL animations really sucks. The declarative nature introduces obnoxious limitations, and none of the browsers interpret it identically. I’ve spent hours writing it just to find out it only works in chrome, then sp
