I think there's a lot of potential in this idea! I've been pondering how to pull this off for a very long time. My 5 minute test run: - For documents, I couldn't figure out how to make anything but plain text. The keyboard sh

Jump'n'Bumb is such a blast! I even made a clone of it in JS with a friend. Gotta try Tremor. Looks a bit like Cyberdogs!

I use it for writing simple but arcane code, e.g. things that involve the AWS SDK. I sometimes ask it to improve my phrasing in English. I use it to experiment with potential AI products. I generate situational imagery and over-the-top poet

Safari is the only popular competitor to Chromuim-based browsers, and by far the underdog of the two. Whether or not they're allowed to, what Apple does currently increases competition, rather than hampers it. Optimizing for a single b
