They may not be dumb, but culturally, the companies are miles apart. Disney is incredibly bureaucratic and is does a very poor job of developing and deploy technology. Most of the impressive displays of tech you associate with Disney were

This looks great and I'm inclined to give it a try. But do you have a privacy policy? I try to avoid services that sit between me and my financial institutions, as I worry they're building analytics off my spending patterns and

My concern about security is that this would be used like Slack, but for apps -- always on, sitting in the background, occasionally has my attention. If I drag an app that has an integrated terminal (e.g., VS Code), could one of my teammate

What I've never seen in any rich-text web editor is an ability to have more complex numbered lists. So often I want to put in a block of content (e.g., a small code example) as part of a numbered list item, and then resume the list af
