On a related note, I cannot believe how many ads YT are showing nowadays. I know the word “unuseable” is thrown around a lot but its really become that way for me. I got 5 ads in the first 3 minutes of a video yesterday. I know people say “

I'm interested to hear this, as I'm one of those people that hated Cordova but loved the promise of a single codebase. I was involved in a project that could only afford updates every so often, and every time I returned to try upd

Yes, it would be very interesting. For people like myself, living in parts of Europe where there’s no real off-grid wilderness, it’s fascinating to hear about. Particularly when it’s not paired with a) prepper/conspiracy mentalities

A little bit off topic, but has anyone migrated from Spotify to Apple Music (along with all their artists and playlists etc.)? What’s the move been like.

I’m not sure if this is related, but I’ve been considering going back to regular milk as the price of oat milk continues to slowly increase. It’s gone from £1.50 to as high as £2.80 around my area. I haven’t tracked the price of milk over t

Did you consider using any existing any canvas drawing libraries like Fabric.js? Having recently built an app around Fabric it’s nice to see some alternatives.

I’ve just come from Bogotá where the tap water was said to be drinkable. I still bought bottled but didn’t see many/any other locals carrying water, or shops selling it particularly cheap. I’m in Cartagena now and I don’t think the tap

There’s a whole industry of “business intelligence” around this. You would be shocked as to how little visibility large companies have of their key metrics. I work for a company that does exactly what you describe, except for enterprise cli

I really want to like Next.js but as a recent adopter (within the last year) I’m not sure I’m going to stick with it. I find the “new” way to write Next apps incredibly confusing. Everything is now a mix of server and client and there’s so

I don't think the point is whether people use 3rd party apps, instead users are annoyed at how the platform is changing, the direction they are now pursuing and how they are treating developers. The same frustrations have been aired ov

The killer feature here would be hooking this up to Netlify/Vercel etc. and having a 2-way-write. Every time you update something in the CSSPro editor, your codebase is actually updated and the site is rebuilt in the background. This w

Congratulations on launching, it looks like a very polished product. I'll be interested to see where the conversation goes on this here on HN. Having recently worked closely on a Contentful + Gatsby website, I'm more convinced the

You should look into Jonathan Stark and “hourly billing is nuts” https://jonathanstark.com/hbin He also talks about “value pricing”, where you charge clients a percentage of the value you bring them.

I understand this now, but it took an awful lot of effort to just understand why things are designed like this. I don't think React does a good enough job describing its worldview and why things are they way they are. I actually think

I recently switched to using React and Next.js for a number of front-end projects, almost solely because of its wide developer adoption (making it easier to hire developers). Outside of that network effect, I'm completely and utterly b
