   I mean I really don’t like it either, but I have to say, it screenshots 10x worse than it really looks. There’s enough ‘glow’ that things look largely distinct. I would still prefer 5x the blur; I really, really, really hate the shapes of t

   I find the search pretty poor on Apple Maps, but I’ve traveled the world using only Apple Maps and I’ve gotten around fine in quite remote areas. The only reason I ever use google maps is to search somewhere and copy paste the address into

   Personally, I’ve never found this lean methodology to work for me. I have a bit of a mantra that I’ve found works really well for me: “Put everything on the screen”. Every feature every variant ever possible configuration and all future pot

   And for what it’s worth, having read thousands of AI generated applications, I can guarantee you it didn’t ace it ;-) Maybe it didn’t out itself, but you could also make the argument that that’s failing in an of itself

   This blog post makes me actively want to use something besides fly. Putting aside the massive condescension in the article… … most of the code you write is tedious boilerplate? What do you do all day? I can honestly say the most tedious cod

    Oh I’m not arguing for minimalism or all text uis - I agree with the article in the sense that modern uis are boring and we need something fresh. It just seems like a very shoddy example to run a victory lap with. Design is subjective, but

    I find it very interesting the praise Material Design Expressive gets. Perhaps it's just because I've always been on iOS, but every iteration of Material Design seems so much more foreign to me. I'm not really criticizing it,

    Surprised there aren't more comments about the game example. I found it so bad - takes up so much space, provides no value, color schemes all over the place, every "icon" had wildly different rotations/perspectives. Was

    If you don’t mention an item, it is skipped (no grade). If you can’t remember an item, but you recall learning it, you describe it and it will be marked as fail. At the end there is a screen with all the words and you can change any from sk

    I implemented free recall into FSRS pretty easily. Granted, it’s only for language learning, and I have it set up to work in a free recall friendly way (you don’t learn cards, you learn actual words and morphemes) but it’s been working for

    I would say the implementations are time optimized, over the others. I’m building a language learning application, and have put in a lot of effort to make sure that the Spaced Repeition is motivation-optimized. It’s centered around your per

    I’m very interested in Sanskrit, and working on an application to learn it (and many other languages). If you have any interest in app based review (not courses - I specifically try to work with input) I would love to get feedback on the Sa

    I really don’t want to be doing self promotion in someone else’s thread, but I have Tagalog support on https://phrasing.app . I just posted some demo videos this morning in comments if you check out my profile

    I would have to know more about your circumstances before I could make genuine recommendations. But as an autodidactal programmer, I can serve as somewhat of an authority on this manner ;) The value I get out of the platform is: 1. I can st

    Unfortunately I do not have a windows device to test with. I have a suspicion as to what’s causing it (background blurs) and I plan to get rid of it this week

    I am the first to admit that the UI does not make sense to people who have not seen it in use. I have done some user onboarding sessions where you just “let them ask questions and click” and it goes terribly if it’s any consolation, I have

    Block rendering errors on the media page is new to me. I will look into it. The reference language error should not be shown (I mean it’s not incorrect, but there is a “no expressions error” that should take precedence). A video is coming :
