That Windows screenshot really is chaos. I would love to hear a defense of that design because I am missing any merit to it.

Hi! Thanks for your work on Haiku. I remember LOVING BeOS when it came out. I was a kid, had dabbled in breaking my parents computers with Linux distributions in the 90s, and was enamored with BeOS and was blown away by how great it worked.

The valley being an echo chamber doesn’t necessarily mean those implementing this have their heads in the sand. It can’t be all perfectly achieved, but to do nothing, as they were before, could be now determined to be a worse case than prov

I recently have been getting into making a lot of small swift apps for personal use AND now have MacOS 7 and 8 running on my iPad since they’ve added mouse pointer support. Excited to dig into this article!

Having taken schedules of medicine myself, what resonates with me is the balance between strength and consistency of whatever the medicine is supposed to do. Think about alleviating pain. You want to take as much pain reliever as you can to

GarageBand has a crazy/arbitrary limit on length of like 640 bars or 30 mins? I would have loved to use it to make a long mix of multiple tracks but that simple tasks butted up against that limit and I wasted so much time until I had t

Also your website is amazing. Is that the blog you were referring to? Is there a write up or overview of how it’s all put together. Love it

Thanks much for the replies. I’m very interested in this and am wrapping my head around how it works and these differences so it’s great to hear perspectives from people using it.

For blogging use case, I have a few questions: 1. A (current?) limitation I've noticed with Beaker is that you can only edit a site implementation (for a specific address) on a single machine. What would you do if you had multiple comp

As an owner of a free slack that has thousands of historical and unaccessible messages by the users, how can I delete these stored but not unaccessible messages to protect them? It seems unconscionable that Slack retains messages but provid

Sadly, Google is also sitting on a HUGE amount of archival newspaper in a completely unsearchable state. They've OCR'd thousands of historical papers but the search is completely broken. https://news.google.com/new

^ I am implying that they are storing iMessages unencrypted. The iMessages on iPhones/iPads are part of the 'backup' for each device and they are not encrypted at rest on the iCloud server.

Interesting omission of iMessage here... since it's not encrypted at rest on their servers.

I would move to Spotify because of this same reason but I've never fully been able to understand what they do with your own music that you bring to the library. I have some live recordings for example, how do I get them in my library s

Those are helpful, but I think in addition to isolated screenshots I'd want to see full screen snaps of what the app looks like. This is to help me visualize it in context of my existing work environment/flow on the desktop. It se

Ditto. I loved using Vine to create little personal vignettes that I could share via Messages. I imagine this will come with a Messages App though the UX around those integrations is terrible the standalone app will be enough.

Next up, BeOS, please! I think it's the plain blue background of Window 95 that made me jump to that idea. Windows95 base look holds up really nicely vs versions that came between 95-10.
