It's an unbelievably untapped aspect for differentiating browsers. However, instead of the address bar what would be the best experience would be to have navigation buttons on the bottom. Speed dials, back and forward, tab management s

Best interviewer I ever had for a development role gave me a sheet detailing a (terrible) high level implementation of a ticketing system, gave me an hour to look at it and then asked me what I thought about it and what I'd do differen

I don't get it either, is it literally the same thing a a a clone with a different name?

I want to pile on the hate of both that garish startup screen. Seriously, it's not just terrible, it turns the brightness to the max and switches between high saturation colors so fast it literally hurts my eyes. If anyone working for

Well, I find this to be great news! Now I have a great way to convince my non tech friends to switch to Firefox. "It lets you install a thing so you don't see ads anymore, unlike Chrome where you have to pay for it"

I actually have the opposite problem. For some reason, debugging JS with IntelliJ (where I'm most productive) doesn't work nicely on FF so I have to keep a Chrome tab open, and it's just unusable since it's determined to

The way forward seems to be enforcing the distribution at the state level, rather than forbidding automation.

This is quite true but it's boggling why neither Github nor its competitors haven't added a 'questions' tab to public repos where people are explicitly allowed to ask questions, and have them answered by maintainers or o

Tumblr is an absolute goldmine of pure original content unavailable anywhere else. A savvy enterprise that acquired it should re-allow adult content with however many filters they like to make amends with the community and devote a while to

It's sad how they don't just have plans to hire in South America, Stripe as a service doesn't even work in South America. It looks like a market that's overdue for disruption.

I actually had to borrow a phone number to create an account and use Twitter in an emergency, since it was the only channel where a service provider would respond to messages. The whole situation was mind boggling.

Is there a reason why they don't just keep a fork their code and rebrand it as a "serious app" for corporate use and charge money for it? Discord has the best service for voice chat and screen sharing I've seen and I&#x2

Yeah, but it's not supported on iOS' Safari. You need the user to install a native app for them to be able to receive notifications, and it looks like they're years away from implementing that on a browser. So it's App S

I've had an idea for an adult oriented app, that many many people have told me they'd pay for and support, but it'd need push notifications to work (preventing it from working in a browser), and Apple is such a walled garden

Didn't the NYT have the dark pattern of being one-click subscribe, yet made you fill forms and emails and physically call them to unsubscribe? (At least up until a few months ago, last I heard) Stuff like that is an absolute deal brea

I've used SQLite for a distributed project lately where different offline teachers in rural schools would back up their app data to a thumb drive as file databases, take it back to a town with connectivity and upload that data to the a

Well, in order: - I haven't had any trouble using the RN css-like styles along with React-Navigation yet, what I've been writing looks consistent between devices, but I know I'll hit that issue eventually - My approach has be

After a couple years of working all kinds of Android and iOS native development for clients, I finally got a chance to dig into React Native and it's been incredibly fun so far! I hope it's not just the honeymoon phase but it seri

Surprisingly, the thing I'd been using it most for, was that it's the only major social media website I know that still shows posts in chronological order.

There is a very hard difference between stealing something from someone, which deprives them from having access to it, and copying it, which doesn't. The first one is considered morally wrong by everyone here, the second one is argued

These dark patterns are not just looking for anxiety-induced buying. They also help distract from hidden fees, extra charges from currency conversions, and all around lack of clarity on reservations. However, I do know of people who can tra

This would be a great option. Maybe Google could get on that, but they're more likely to axe the basic Html version considering their latest trends.

There's an option on Tumblr desktop settings to disable endless scrolling. It's still terrible that it's only desktop mode, but it's still usable like that on mobile.

The symbolic language they've added was the last straw for me. Gmail is the last Google product I'm using and I'm now working on getting away from it. I really can't tell what each button does now without a label, and I&
