I had a go at building both a Mac and iOS dictation app the other day (dictator.robgough.net) thinking that with Claude's input, this probably wouldn't work... but it was a real problem I had, and I wanted to see how far we could

I do yeah, Tailscale is generous with the "device" counts so I'm not worried about using them up -- especially as I spin them up as ephemeral, so as soon as I shutdown the stack they're gone, but the "random" n

The Reddit app is so very bad. So bad in fact that I nearly considered paying for Narwhal, but then realised I should probably be trying to use Reddit less so paying for a subscription to access it would be madness. I do miss Apollo, which

Based on how much rubbish is in the App Store, it is shocking to me – but getting that first approval can be really brutal. Took me well over a month last October/November as it kept getting rejected for things that I considered very m

It seems like managed pg improvements aren’t high up on the priority list (there’s a mention of outsourcing it to a third-party like supabase[1]), so I’d just like to +1 this request — for personal projects the snapshots are fine, but I’m s

I'm really interested in fly.io after their Postgres post the other day, but I've not seen anywhere what their recommended solution is for ActiveStorage – is it still writing to S3 (or equivalent), or would it be somehow using the

I opened an account with a UK challenger bank while sat in a bar, and within 5 minutes had paid for a round with Apple Pay (which could be set up before the card arrived). It was pretty damn impressive. It might seem of limited utility, but

As an Apple fan and Xbox game pass subscriber, I'm annoyed and genuinely surprised that Microsoft aren't more on the attack here. I'm sure there's some behind the scenes manoeuvring going on, but it doesn't seem lik

In response to your final question, this[1] document from the UK's ICO has some interesting info. Essentially you're either a Data Controller (that would be your site in this example) or a Data Processor (Fathom, in this case -- p

FWIW My bank here in the UK does this (Monzo) and I worked at a startup where we also implemented "magic link" to log in. It also seemed to fit nicely with a pre-account workflow idea that I'd had for one of my projects. But.

Feedbin.com has been wonderful for me since the demise of google reader, and frankly it's far better. It's not free, but it's very cheap and as far as I'm concerned that's a feature -- means it's less likely t

That's quite a statement, do you have any references to back it up?

Apparently it's going to be called bitwriter (see the bottom of this post http://brettterpstra.com/2016/02/12/marked-2-dot-5-4-updates... ) but there's not much information out there yet.

I'm not sure about a regular ocean transport, but you could take a cruise ship between Southampton, UK and Key West, Miami or New Orleans. They're not particularly regular, on top of the additional cost/time constraints.

Just to counter my fellow countryfolk, and because anecdata is the best kind of data, I have definitely heard it called that before ... though not so much recently. Perhaps it's a dying term?
