Interesting! Thanks for the responses. I'm not python native and haven't worked as extensively with python as some of you here. That said, I'll change my mind here and agree on using std library, but I'd still have separ

Disagree. In the first instance, the original code is readable and tells me exactly what's what. In your example, you're sacrificing readability for being clever. Clear code(even if verbose) is better than being clever.

This is pretty impressive. A lot of people underestimate the amount of work required to make something available offline. Planning the syncing architecture alone is a monumental task, especially at the scale Notion operates. I built a custo

I didn't like Tailwind initially, but after using it for a week, it's hard to go back to regular CSS or even SCSS. I have a project that uses SCSS, and sometimes I wish I was using Tailwind instead, it makes the workflow so much e

This might work for B2C startups, but not so much for B2B. In B2B, people need to see a working product that clearly saves them time or money. The sales cycle is longer, and landing page tactics alone usually aren’t effective. A better appr

If I were to do it all over again, I’d simplify things even further. I’d start by testing the idea with just the offline version. For syncing, I’d focus on syncing the data itself, just the database records and not the user actions. Instead

This was refreshing to read! More apps should be local-first. If the user does not want to sync their data to cloud, they should have that option. I’ve been building the offline-first (or local-first) app Brisqi[0] for a while now, it was d

Built a privacy focused Kanban board app called Brisqi - https://brisqi.com It's offline-first, has one-time payment plans and has a clean, simple design. Check it out!

I built an offine-first task management app with Kanban setup called Brisqi because I needed an app that worked anywhere without relying on an internet connection. Whether you’re in a corporate setting, dealing with spotty Wi-Fi, or just pr

Nice idea. You can also have a CPU usage monitor in your app bar.

I really like the name. It immediately reminded of the side quests in RPG games to get more experience. And this is exactly that. Good job.

I understand that. It's totally dependent on your needs. If you need to run multiple docker containers or VMs, then you need that power and I get that, I'd need it too in that case.

Nice! 3630QM here.

Agreed. I'm still on Ivy Bridge(3rd gen) quad-core i7(laptop). Its fast for all my development needs. I put SSD couple of years ago and its quite snappy.

Agreed, I came to the same conclusion. Both my PC laptop and MacBook Air have glossy displays but MacBook one reflects back less light which makes it easier to work with.

That's interesting. Which one do you prefer for daily use?
22.
by ashdev 5y ago
I use to think along the same lines. However due to nature of my work, I switch between a MacBook and PC quite often. When I go from MacBook to a laptop with 1080p resolution, I could see why people prefer higher resolutions. Font rendering

That's true, but if you compare the resale value of PCs and MacBooks, you'll find that MacBooks(even with outdated OS) have higher resale value. Therefore, this is a bit of a tricky situtation for PCs since they can't be sold

I just generally have tremendous respect for someone who even attempts to build an OS from scratch. You kept at it and didn't give up. Great work.

Hey, thanks for the feedback and trying out Brisqi, I appreciate it. Brisqi is more of a personal app than the one made for teams so I don't have any team oriented features on the roadmap yet. May be in the future I'll come back t

Great post. Learned something new even though I've been using JavaScript for quite some time now.

This is super impressive considering it's written in C. Well done and keep it up.

Sorry for the late response. Yes you can use it completely offline. It's an offline-first app, you're in complete control of your data. You don't need to store it in the cloud. Only if you need to sync with other devices then
