I find a similar thing with budgeting apps. Manually tracking requires effort and for you to think twice before every purchase, whereas automatic transaction syncing with your bank means you can just not think about it. In the case of dieti

I've used the AI features in Lose It and was pretty impressed, not for the caloric estimate, but when given a picture of a breakfast burrito it accurately split it out into the component parts, from there I could manually adjust amount

Google is making money hosting these videos, and users are freely uploading them. A competitor would have to scrape/download them, store them, process them all at their own cost, along with having much less metadata available (Which vi

I don't get the whole "all-in" mentality around LLMs. I'm an iOS dev by trade, I continue to do that as I always have. The difference now is I'll use an LLM to quickly generate a one-off view based on a design. This

They should really make it open as a dialog attached to the system preferences window, and within that include what app/service is requesting permissions. Having the free floating window isn’t good for anyone, and duplicating the setti

A problem I have, and I'd guess a lot of people now have, is organization. We have the ability to easily capture content, and even easier now organize it via albums. But you have to build your own "system" of organization. An

This is my ideal setup. And I'd have it switch to macOS mode just with keyboard/mouse, so inside the magic keyboard it is just the most slick 11" macbook air ever built. Pop it out and you are dropped back into iOS. I'd

I just bought a Surface Pro 11 and love it. I've jumped from mac into the surface line every few years and I totally agree with you - the fans on the old models were spinning just by having a few chrome tabs opened. But...if you can li

Honestly I'd just want an iPad as it is today + a built in, sandboxed VM running macOS. So I can run macOS apps when needed (Basically Xcode/terminal/slack for me) and for everything else, I'd use iPadOS. Plug it into a

Okay, lets take a simple example. Indie app A, owned by a developer, Joe. Company B buys A outright, including employing Joe. They keep the brand around for name recognition. How does the app store know this? None of this has to be public i

Same for me. I just launched my first full stack side project (I'm a mobile dev by day.) I was always technically capable of it...but using LLM's I basically was able to skip the "how do I do X in node" steps and signifi

Neat idea, but at $140, being phone specific, and just the ergonomics of holding the phone from the bottom when it is now an extra 2 inches taller all sound pretty bad. Also concerning that no where in the landing page does it specify how i

I think the problem likely goes deeper - most of the parents are likely smartphone addicted already, so they see no issue with it. Or they may see the issue with their child's usage of a phone, but they justify their own constant need

From my experience in 15 years of mobile development - there are developers out there who are more interested in building great software rather than building great products. The framework that they work in is the highest order of priority,

I feel gaming devices are the primary target...as someone who used to shoot wedding videography a few years ago, there is a limit of how much footage you want to store on one card - if only because you can easily lose them. The smaller stor

Also thought I'd add the stack I used: App is native SwiftUI. Backend is entirely Firebase, Firestore, Auth, Functions, Storage. I'm currently looking into setting up Gemini as a backup service in case openAI is down. In addition,

I've noticed a similar trend in my current organization. In the beginning, when we were smaller, the details mattered. Things couldn't be slow, animations had to be smooth, scrolling speed mattered, loading times mattered. We aime

Do you live in a slow real estate market? In the area I'm in, rent is basically equal or slightly higher than a 30 year mortgage with 20% down - if you can find a house to buy in the first place.

Taco bell is the most ridiculous now. If I eat there I will only order a $2-$3 "value" burrito. The moment you order any kind of combo, you are out $10+.

The big mac has more than doubled since 2000 according to the Big Mac Index: $2.24 -> $5.58. I think the issue is the high end didn't rise nearly as much as the low end. Your BMW is a good example..a 2000 Honda Civic: $10,750, 2023

Yeah - I distinctly remember back in 2006-2007 (My early college days) getting a 2 for $2 deal at McDonalds - 2 bacon, egg and cheese biscuits for $2. Now one biscuit (normally) is $3.89 and they run 2 for $5 specials, but seemingly way les

Personally I don't see the same relief when ticking a box, but I 100% get the unwritten list. If there is something I need to do that is unscheduled and undocumented, I feel it always takes up a huge portion of my thinking. Writing it

As someone with a VR headset that supports all the games, those headsets are already sunk. Right now, gaming is all that exists in the VR world, because all headsets currently are horrendous for any other task other than gaming. I own a Que

The fatigue in the case of the quest will be because there is no eye tracking, so you constantly have to turn your head to get good focus (Only the center of the screen is fully rendered), the displays are of poor quality in terms of color
