I didn’t realize Compose could now target iOS! That’s exciting. I haven’t written Kotlin or used Jetpack Compose since the before the latter’s 1.0 release but I was very impressed at the time. Kotlin in particular stood out as an expressive

This is important to me. It should matter to everyone, especially in the independent music/arts where value so easily gets leeched out by people with resources.

I most definitely do not intend for it to feel like an ad so I apologize if that's how it comes off. I chimed in with my perspective because a lot of the replies were looking at this news from the lens of "layoffs in tech" an

My understanding of it (and IANAL) is that while the board could potentially vote to change it, the shareholders can take legal action for failing to pursue the public benefit obligations. I can't say whether trying to remove the publi

Email is best! Inbounds are getting kind of wild so we just setup hails@ampwall.com so I'm not a bottleneck. You can also do chris@ampwall.com but I'm monitoring the shared box. The form on the page adds you to the mailing list, w

I can't speak about Deezer specifically since I'm not familiar with their product, only their name. There's a little FAQ up at https://ampwall.com/faq-alpha that might answer many of your questions, I'd

For some context, it’s important to understand the degree to which Bandcamp’s success and ubiquity with independent music is built on a people-first, anti-corporate culture. Bandcamp is an obsession for a very large and engaged segment of t

This was so much more than a job to many of them, just like Bandcamp is more than an e-commerce platform. Bandcamp employed a lot of people who had been there for 5+ years and contributed heavily to its role as cornerstone and defender of i

I would love to do something like this with a project I’m working on but I know very, very little about ActivityPub beyond some basics from using kbin. Can anyone recommend a good primer for a developer?

Hey! We (my co-founder and I) haven’t decided but we’re experimenting and exploring. Right now it’s 5% plus payment processing (Stripe) fees but that will be reevaluated based on what we need to keep the lights on. Bandcamp’s fees were one

This would be much more valuable and fair to the contributors if it linked to the original posts. Reading isolated HN comments is like eating the cheese from a pizza: it might be great on its own but you get the real good stuff when it’s al

In 2015, I worked for a youth-focused and progressive news/“content” organization that posted their videos exclusively on social media. Let’s call them “Know That Event.” It made/makes its money by doing the occasional advertorial

This immediately made me think of this great article about Bradley Koda, who runs what is apparently the best source of original Atari parts. https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kvkx9/dont-piss-off-bradley...

Agreed! My wife and I are using Panda on our project and it’s wonderful so far.

I miss Rails deeply but when I tried using it earlier this year, I was struck by how limiting the templating system is compared to React. Components, unidirectional data flow, and years of thinking in Hooks made moving back to ERB feel like

You might consider just releasing this as an open source repo. I’m sure your work is excellent but there is no way I would ever trust such foundational elements to a closed source boilerplate, especially coming from someone whose work I’ve

That reads quite differently from your statement. The limits imposed by app stores are real challenges that keep people from building apps. That’s a very logical reason to avoid it. It seems your original statement would be better phrased,

Can you elaborate on this? In particular, the use of "everyone" -- do you really mean everyone ? Can you describe some of the common arguments about why not everyone can have an app and explain why they are logically wrong?

I’m so happy to see this! I’m building a product with Next.js 13 now and I totally drank the Kool-Aid on RSC. (Vercel’s push of serverless — not so much.) But I am frequently aware that I’m working with Vercel’s framework in Vercel’s versio

Not everyone needs an app. I’d argue that most products don’t need an app and would be better off with a fast website or web app that is responsive. A good responsive web app will work on all devices and let you avoid the boundaries of the

This is why I am bullish on React Server Components. With a framework that supports it I can choose where client- or server-rendering is most appropriate but keep organization and expressive benefits of React, TypeScript, and TSX.

I was also a holdout until I saw emojis described as "body language for text". That helps contextualize them and let me appreciate them. They let you add so much nuance and personality to text. In a world of async communication, t

I don’t know about that one, seems like there are some pretty serious allegations. But yes, it is likely that the number of people who are aware and talking makes up a tiny portion of their worldwide fans, despite the spread of the news onl

I’ve seen and experienced this first-hand. It happens a lot in niche music scenes. The internet will explode with rage about something someone in a band did or didn’t do, it will seem as if the whole world is united in rage or ridicule! …An

Someone who’s committed to learning them will understand them, so that usually works backwards: someone becomes a fan of a band, they feel motivated and committed enough to learn the lyrics so they can bark along. Screamed metal vocals are

Probably the most important research resource for any underground metal fan. The settler of many arguments. The ability to follow links from band members to their other projects is incredible, like an internet version of looking at the shou
