There must be a better format and distribution method than this. Ideologically a strong brand name and domain, yet ads every two sentences. Even with ad blocking, there is constant aggressive attempts at attention. I propose the communal br

I know you probably worked a bunch on the website, but the amount of AI slop and obvious AI design is an immediate turn off for myself. And I’d theorize more “normies” are getting “spidey senses” on these types of generic Claude-designed pr

I wish I could downvote this. Please don’t do this folks. Editing “guessed” filled inputs when they’re incorrect is a higher UX bar of effort than browser autofill or even just typing it (especially on mobile). Plus a non-zero number of use

To throw two pennies in the ocean of this comment section - I’d argue we still lack schematic-level understanding of what “intelligence” even is or how it works. Not to mention how it interfaces with “consciousness”, and their likely relati

Without an enemy (or two) the entire post-1945 identity construct of the USA (and its allies) does not have a purpose. It’s pretty plain and simple.

That would have absolutely been myself, wardriving at 16 (back in the early aughts). Sending nonsensical print jobs and then setting everyone’s clocks to 4:20.

I get it, the service model always shines the brightest in the eye of the revenue calculator. But I have immediate skepticism they’ll be able to execute at a competitive level. Their core competency has always been manufacture and productio

Clickbait marketing blog post. Doesn’t belong on FP IMO.

My immediate assumption was the marketing team has defined a “conversation” session time very broadly - “time tab was open” etc

Having written production CSS for 15+ years across everything from global e-commerce Magento sites to new age Next.js RSC projects, I like Tailwind (after much conflict). The piece I feel like is missing in most explanations of why it “work

Also at 10, my parents put me on a cross-country flight by myself from PDX to Atlanta (to visit family). Note, this was in 1999, not some bygone era. I imagine there would be an Amber Alert nowadays if someone noticed me sitting by myself o

Great start for a first endeavor. Couple notes: - Would definitely recommend rethinking the header/banner area. Takes up a lot of vertical space and seems unnecessary for such a simple tool. - You're loading jQuery twice. Recommend removing
