   Thanks for taking a look and giving feedback! As per your first two points, I offer a full refund (within 14 days) so I thought this would counteract the fact that there is no trail period. Also, the app is open source so you can validate t

    Hey HN! In 2020, I quit my tech job to pursue creating content on YouTube full-time. The biggest problem I had with making videos was editing/removing silence from them. (For reference, it takes 1-2 hours to edit 10 minutes of video.)

    I quit my tech job in 2020 to learn new technologies and build my own startup - I made a HUGE bet on Vue and kinda regret it. In the first half of 2021, I dove deep into Vue, Vuex, Nuxt.js (basically Next.js), Gridsome (basically Gatsby.js)

    I made a video[0] explaining why it is beneficial to use Vim commands. You can watch from 00:48 seconds to 03:53. TL;DR: Moving away from the home row to arrow keys or mouse can cause wrist pains. [0] https://youtu.be/h-epck
