I'd just like to chime in to cheer this type of business. My airpods were dying within 60 seconds of putting them on and now they live again. (For anyone in Taiwan or Singapore, check out https://www.dr-pods.com/ . Roug

Do any macOS users actually want unification? I do not, but I'm just one data point. Being able to use mobile apps on a computer is a clear win, but that's a purely additive change—you don't need change the existing OS appear

Also had to do the same. The method of disabling it, while not immediately obvious, didn't seem intentionally user-hostile. However, the idea of modifying any part of a user's desktop without their explicit input is troubling to s

> Oh and while you're at it, install also Yarn Both NPM and Yarn come bundled with recent Node versions, so hopefully you only need to install one thing (Node). That being said, having multiple package managers must be confusing to

Great work guys. Common reading lists seems like a strong signal for getting in touch with interesting people. Also might be an interesting conversation starter with people you already know. Also, very interested to peruse other peoples lis

Even if not necessarily causal, learning a foreign language signals a relatively high level of investment in learning about the people/nation(s) that natively speak the language. So I suspect there's at least some correlation betw

This is certainly not a full solution to reloading your mental context, but *persistent undo* is quite helpful. After opening a project back up I just press undo a few times to see what the last edits I made were.

It's a very cool product, which I've only used briefly. However, product aside, their promotional videos are _phenomenal_. Not sure if they are making these in-house or some company is putting them together, but someone is doing a

Not sure hn.algolia.com counts as a reader. It's a great tool, but it just links back to this site as far as I've seen.

Very curious to see if/how phones will innovate over the coming years. IMO there hasn't been an interesting iPhone release since the X, and although I don't know the Android world well based on friends' usage it seems th

In the past it really did just work and macs were configurable. The trend of limited configuration is more recent (and yes, it's terrible).

I'm a bit torn on the hooks feature since it seems like a great example of something that's easy but not simple [1], as well as going against React's prior principle of minimizing the API [2]. I'm glad the article also s

I'm a bit confused by the value prop here, or maybe I'm just missing it. There seems to be much talk of theming and extensibility, features which every existing text editor has. This is not meant to put down the product—I've

Not to knock this project (I know near nothing about it), but the readme could benefit from a "Why" section. Given the existing complexity of JS build tooling these days any new build tool might start by stating its case for inclu

Yup. This seems like it was probably a well-intentioned design decision initially: "If a user copies a list won't they expect a list when they paste?" However the myriad variations on rich text these days make it hard to pred

It's great to see web design moving more and more towards the web. Looking forward to trying this out. The live update feature could be a big win for slack conversations.

This is amazing. No one who uses or likes photoshop for design has to switch, and developers never need to find a copy of photoshop again. This is a genius solution. Also the fact that it's multiplatform is great. I'm looking forw
