Thanks for the feedback. I agree that the UX needs lots of improving - I'm wondering if more instructions on the QR code or the page for the doorbell would work better? While a cheap radio doorbell might be better in many cases, there

Thank you! Those are good points. I'm still trying to figure out what the differentiating factor is for other people. For me it's the ease with which I can replace a QR and receiving a notification even when I'm not home

Currently it isn't doing WebRTC, but that is the idea. Although I'm not sure if I want to add audio and/or video?

Thanks for you concern. I need to look into different safeguards to prevent abuse. Right now I'm trying to see if there is at least some use

Right now you can ding dong ditch if you have the code. As others mentioned using location could help. Or maybe a one-time-pin?

I doubt that it was one of mine, I'm much further south. I'd be very curious to hear more about it

by dirkc 2y ago
True. What are you comparing it to if I may ask - a traditional doorbell or a modern smart doorbell?

Looks really nice. I've worked on lots of open source code for > 10 years now. But I've never done a project where the product itself was monetized directly. Would still be happy to give him specific feedback if he wants - my c

Nice, I assume it's aimed at kids? I could also see it being useful to teach a kid to use a mouse on a PC to click and drag. It took me a second or two to realize I should drag the colored images to the profiles. Maybe having a small a

Nice website. I like the dark theme of the site. I have a question about your criteria. In the FAQ you say > Buy Once Software is a directory of software products that you can purchase once and own for a lifetime. No subscriptions, no re

Nice, it looks good and polished! I liked the on-boarding. I don't like the first screen being a pitch for a subscription, but I get that you probably need to sell hard to get subscriptions. I've recently launched a small app on t

Hopefully not with Gandi, because then they also have a "move domain" entry in their TODO list!

Thank you, I just followed these [1] instructions and couldn't be happier getting rid of the snap!!! Before upgrading I was running a binary release from firefox, but running mozilla apt repo is much preferred! [1] - https:/&#x2F

Nice, took me a while to realize I could edit the text. Images doesn't seem to be implemented atm. Looking at the source it seems like this uses wasm, what did you use to build it?

by dirkc 2y ago
The interface looks good and polished. I didn't see any instructions? Did I miss them? Offering a version that doesn't require login would be nice, sounds like you already know this

I wondered if you sneaked in some made up countries in the Nationality dropdown, saw "Cocos (Keeling) Islands (the)" and though hah. But then I googled it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocos_(Keeling)_Islands

People have been bamboozled, but maybe not the way you're implying. Microsoft is only doing open source since it proved to be an extremely useful way of doing things, not because they turned into an altruistic company that started cari

It's been a while since I've shared anything I've written. And since it's published online I might as well share here.

I don't think you can vote to change a non-profit to a for-profit company. Once a non-profit, always a non-profit. There are sort-off loopholes, like changing the name of "Open AI" to something else and selling the name along

Wow, I love this. A long time ago I did some dependency graphs for gentoo linux packages [1] and also for a django project [2]. I put all the packages on a circle with dependencies being drawn as lines. This is so much cooler! [1] https:&#

I don't think they fueled it up all the way. But I do thing the booster and maybe also starship itself is a little heavier than they plan to have it at the end. *update* if you check the video just before launch (39:54), you can see th

When I did "AI" it would have meant the sigmoid function, these days it's something like ReLU.
