It comes down to difficulties of getting a team together that can implement cross-platform software. Shipping native implementations is more than quadruple the work and cost as compared to shipping with Electron, which is reliably cross-pla

Your commitment to open standards is inspiring and I wish you all the success for the role you play in it. Is a desktop app in the cards to enable offline use, with https://tauri.app maybe (instead of Electron, for improved perf

It's running Discourse forums, a YC-funded thing, also OSS, authored with Ruby on Rails. I find it fascinating that people are praising their skin of Discourse, because I think it's got a little too much white space! With those ne

The folks behind Penpot also make a kanban management tool, kind of like Trello, called Taiga: http://taiga.io/ It's also OSS (Django/Angular), self-hostable, and very pleasant to use. I'm rooting for both of

If you have a VPS handy you can port your org files there and use Prompt to ssh into it and use your configured emacs there. If you use a terminal multiplexer like tmux which you can attach / deattach as needed there's the added b

I'm a recent convert as of this year! However, (and I don't know if this will surprise people, I suspect not) I actually use it primarily for org-mode, for note-taking, to-do-lists, documenting and thinking through small bits of c

Wonderful. For folks wanting to look into emacs I actually just direct them to doom-emacs (and maybe with the suggestion to turn off evil-mode to make it a liiiittle simpler). It looking easy on the eyes goes a long way in making the user-e

Interesting, I'm a non-native French speaker, the original French piece struck me as being entirely normal (but maybe it was just the perfect French accent that swayed me). Can you please point out what he said which wasn't idioma

Neat, https://github.com/openai/whisper - they have open-sourced it, even the model weights, so they are living up to their name in this instance. The 4 examples are stunningly good (the examples have speakers with hea

They are in a truly capricious position though. I'm a pretty advanced-level Photoshop user and I'm almost fine with Photopea except for the speed and general annoyance of it being a web-app -- if it were a desktop app I'd pro

A lot of designers are up in arms over this acquisition and have signaled they'll move on to the next non-adobe alternative, so it raises the interesting question: by way of some anchoring effect, will Penpot or other competitors now b

Zelle takes a considerable percentage cut for non-personal transactions. Do you make use of Payoneer API for payouts? How do you find it?

Oh hey, I'm a big fan! I think while others have commented on how beautiful your creations are, I rather admire you for the care and detail you put on UI. Beautiful things are not always easy to use, and things that are well-laid-out

Increasing differentiability (within reason and identifiability) is the point of fonts that are trying to increase legibility. g has the potential of being confused with 9, y, 0, etc. for folks with non-optimal sight.
