This looks like an amazing tool for prototyping or a hackathon, but I struggle to see how I might use it to deploy to "production" as is mentioned in the post. What stuck out to me was that any time we made a somewhat-large change

One painfully obvious thing would be to get rid of insane notch / forehead. While they're at it, implement an under-display front-facing camera so we can have 100% screen-to-body ratio. Fair that this is not really revolutionary (

Ads are a terrible monetization model and I will never willingly consume them. What was wrong with the original model of supporting artists via patronage anyway? Now with platforms like Patreon it's very simple to set up.

I find these devices cool but ever since getting hooked on Anki, I've basically stopped taking notes completely and instead capture information in flashcard form directly. I find that this approach enables me to get way more long-term

No great resignation wave, are we looking at the same charts? Both charts have the highest values ever since they started tracking this in 2001, and we've only seen increases in monthly quits since the start of 2021.

For one, don't go to pop sci books expecting the truth. You'll have a better shot with a peer-reviewed textbook. For sleep, try Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine by Kryger.
