Some thoughts about your onboarding: > Try a Free Demo / NO EMAIL REQUIRED Ok, sure! I’m assuming this is a demo of documentation created in Subsection, so I’m not sure who would expect it to require email anyway. Click > Free

Bookmarklets work fine on iOS Safari last time I checked. You have to add a bookmark for some random page, then go back in and edit it, though.

I first stumbled upon TaskTXT, and your really quite excellent YouTube channel, a few weeks ago. I’m a fan so far. I really appreciate the attention to detail in the app. You asked about its viability as a business - I have no idea but I re

What a wonderful kludge. People can’t imagine that they would be able to go back and edit, or even see, the history of their calculations, so putting two calculators side by side seems like a brilliant idea. It’s like if a new word processo

SvelteKit 1.0.0 has a release candidate since Friday. There have been many breaking changes leading up to that, but we’re past those now so this is an excellent time to start using it.

It doesn’t become true just because you keep repeating it. The point was always to allow for an API where you only had to think about how to render one snapshot, and not care about what the previous snapshot looked like. Virtual DOM made th

The point of virtual DOM is correctness, not performance. The reason performance is so often discussed in conjunction with virtual DOM is exactly because it involves so much overhead, making performance optimization much more important. Car

Worth watching to the end (demo starts at 10:53). The result is absolutely outstanding. I can’t wait to see what some really good photographers would be able to do with this camera.

I got the impression from the post that the problem in this case, like in many other cases with Apple, was a lack of documentation. Why would this not be documented? It would save everyone time, sweat and tears if the documentation was OK.
