I've been using the unihertz Titan [1] for the last couple of years, and more recently (last 6 months or so) the unihertz Titan pocket [2] - The Titan had a bunch of UX issues, which almost all have been fixed in the pocket version. Th

For that specific project - no. But I'm also using this code in a consumer focused desktop client, for gamers to record their own gameplay and review it back (replays.lol) The obs-studio-node integration code can be found here: https:

My specific use case is for automating the creation of videos that require a full desktop setup to record: I run a few channels similar to this one, which provide value by showcasing how the top-end League of Legends players play the game:

I would love this if it had the option to preview say 40 fonts at once? I don't know what specific font I want, so I was having to manually search for one, select a random one, and see how it looked. It would be nice to see a grid of 4

The author's consent form is very simple and isn't using any shady UX tricks to get the user to consent. One action will opt you in, one action will opt you out. I wonder what results you would see for something like yahoo, the da

Couldn't you also argue that stakeholders who profit off low carb / sugar diets would also have a vested interest to push biased media about the benefits of low carb / fat diets?

I don't see an issue here at all. I don't think anyone expects whatsapp to be a super privacy focused app? There are plenty of alternative messenger apps that are privacy focused if that's your requirements. I strongly believ

It seems they "only" had $150,000 in funding, but as they were basically white labelling the Segway ES2[1] I'm surprised they didn't just hold onto their sales revenue to purchase the product... Interestingly enough, abo
