It's beautiful I agree, but that "designer" is just claude opus. Lots of examples on x and on reddit of similarly styled apps made with the help of opus.

Looks sweet. Where did you even find that? Gleam, lustre, and tauri? Amazing

I agree. Server-rendered React can also send down 100% HTML apps. But I 100% see where the author's coming from, considering the massive fragmentation of react codebases/patterns and decision paralysis of React development in gene

Beautiful. Will definitely work through this.

Another benefit of the foldable over the ipad mini + regular phone is managing internet connectivity is a lot easier. Also no need for 2 separate sessions on whatever apps/websites you're currently using. As much as syncing states

Nice mate. Everything I said has been in support of apple, or anyone else, pursuing and developing a foldable. I'm 100% a fan of foldables, and my point was that they're just going to get thinner. Thus making the "thickness&q

Any favorite gleam projects to learn from? I've always admired the direction gleam was heading in, and the community is awesome. But with gradual typing now in elixir, I'm weighing whether or not gleam offers anything special enou

Maybe because on hacker news, you expect slightly higher quality comments. Or at least a more forward-thinking opinion on consumer hardware. Holding a different opinion is great, but dismissing on a modern cutting edge form-factor, one that

Even if you haven't, searching up dimensions on the current foldables takes all of 15 seconds. It should be obvious to anyone who cares about phone hardware even a little that older foldables won't be the end-all of how thin the p

They made the worst laptop keyboard of the last 3 decades, and put it in their $1000 laptops, AND then refused to update it until 2019 when it could've been fixed a whole year earlier. Straight junk, forced onto all of their laptop buy

And it feels like a regular phone when folded. Not noticeably thick at all. Some folks just have to complain for the sake of complaining, must give them a little dopamine hit or something.

Wait till you hear about a trackpoint. To bad almost nothing comes with one anymore. As someone on a mac trackpad right now, the only gesture I somewhat regularly use is drag-and-drop. Everything else I'd rather do on the keyboard.

One to two days only? Might have to try it out then. Thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe if you're doing a job that doesn't involve typing whatsoever, silly stuff like that competitive FPS adjacent mouse skills might help, but for 99% of us, this is just a complete waste of time. Replacing software with poor key

Insane price. I really should get into this "stripped-out phone masquerading as a crafted minimal phone" space.

Which models do you use for elixir?

They're fine if you just need it mainly for the build/bundle step. I've used an 8GB M1 mac for react-native iOS dev for over a year back when the M1 first came out. If I had to look for the cheapest way to build iOS apps, but

Way too much keyboard backlight discourse around this laptop. Just learn to type folks, it takes 2-3 weeks. As long as you're able to quickly feel out the homing bars, you should know where all your keys are. First thing I do on every

The display quality of a 14 inch 1800p oled at 120Hz (asus, lenovo, dell all offer this) is honestly a league above the 60Hz IPS panel the air has had for way too long now. In response time, vibrance, smoothness, contrast ratio, and even di

Can you give examples?

by elxr 4mo ago
The expertbook ultra, zephyrus g14 and various lenovo yogas are already that. They all have nicer screens and significantly better keyboard feel too.

That's one of the laptops I've been sort of looking into. Can you run stuff like hyprland, and the linux-version of ghostty on it? Not familiar with the state of WSL2. I'm honestly happy just using linux, but that zenbook a16

Thank you for showing the other side of the coin. I doubt most of these "windows bad" regurgitators are being fair with their takes. Or they're gamers who don't even develop on their windows machines. There is no way it&

Apple is lucky so many talented devs have built alternatives and fixes for the sorry state of factory MacOS. The settings app, the finder app, spotlight, the general lack of innovation are just a few things that really should've been f

Great code is still not easy. Choosing the right stack/libraries/billing and getting everything to work together (for cheap) is still something barely 10% of devs can actually realistically do. Sales is hard, yeah, but look at eve

Depends what part of AI they say they don't agree with. Anyone with a reasonable, sound argument can give it a shot. Is a 100% local, open-weight model that you only use for learning purposes / generating questions meant just for
