China's EV-2W sales graph shows a peak in 2021 and then a declining trend in past few years. Curious to know what's happening there. I couldn't find any explanation in the article (admittedly I just skimmed).

Notification "channels" -- what a wild west Some apps use just one channel and use it to send both really important stuff (like fraud alerts on your credit card) as well as ads so you cannot turn them off even if you wanted to. Ot

Look's cool. Like the no-nonsense design. I have been juggling an idea that is close to this -- making a personal radio that cycles through favourite playlists from youtube. Interested in seeing how this is implemented. PS: on a second

This looks interesting though niche -- am yet to think of a compelling use case. I am sure @simonw has some ideas :) -- he recently blogged about HTML tools which is also one or my favorite use cases for LLMs. Maybe similar to SVG generatio

Thanks for the details! Is embedding intelligent logic inside of SVGs for animation a common thing -- feels very novel to me. Kudos for the idea and execution! I am wondering if it is possible to push it even further and bring more and more

Cool thanks. Is there a way to control the speed. When I load a single SVG into browser, it runs through the whole game in a flash. (Edge shows animation; chrome and firefox show static image for me)
