AI infrastructure. Regardless, I don't see OpenAI or Anthropic attaching AI generated images to their blog posts.

What in the world would posses the modular team to attach those horrendous AI generated thumbnails to each blog post? It makes it feel cheap, even though I know the project has some really serious technical expertise behind it.

It appears that the audio section where you can preview the different sounds (power on, charging, low battery) are not working for me. It throws a `Uncaught (in promise) NotSupportedError: The element has no supported sources.` on `audio.pl

It looks super nice. I really like the name and the design, but as others have said the numbers seem to be a bit of a turn off. It really seems to throw off the visual balance and almost seems like there's a medical reason for it, like

Despite whether what OpenAI alleges in the blog post is true or not, it's super odd that a company of their size would make a blog post about it. This looks like a company that's in a downward spiral. They're doing anything t

Thanks for checking out the app! Truthfully it simply doesn't make sense to support anything prior to iOS 26 for Plates. It was built entirely around liquid glass, morphing animations, and many iOS 26+ APIs.

Yes, it's actually possible to change it in the settings! It's in Settings -> Apps -> Plates. It's possible to change the weight and distance units there, as well as the effort metric (rpe/rir/none).

I got tired of all the worthwhile iPhone weightlifting apps wanting a monthly payment for a full feature set, while delivering an uninspiring, cross-platform experience. I noticed none of the apps felt native to the iPhone, and I wanted som

Admittedly I had never heard of this party before, but after looking into them calling them far-right seems to be quite a leap. If you didn't know, Sweden used to be extremely welcoming to asylum seekers and refugees about a decade ago

Not so far — I'm focusing on building the best iOS experience I can, but if it keeps growing the way it has I could absolutely see it somewhere down the road.

One strength of Obsidian is actually it's plugins. All of the plugins are fully open source so I think if someone truly plans to disrupt it they should make their editor interoperable with Obsidian plugins. It's a bit strange to m

i've been grinding away to make "Plates" the best it can be. i know building a weightlifting app is a massive cliche, but i felt compelled to make it anyway and honestly have zero regrets. i was fully expecting people to roll

would it be crazy to use this as a more casual macbook alongside my mbp? it seems light, cheap, and fun.

I've been hard at work building a weightlifting workout tracking & analytics app. Its main selling points are being iOS native, being a one-time purchase, and being completely private (does not depend on a backend, but still saves

I've worked with Flutter, React Native, and now I'm building an app in SwiftUI. I've found a few things in the process: 1.) Neither RN nor Flutter seems to be able to create truly native applications on iOS. I've never

I suppose you must know this already if you have done research on alternatives, but there are already a plethora of apps like this — Lifesum, Cal AI, MacroFactor, just to name a few. I'm curious what sets your app apart?

It was revolutionary when it came out due to its physics engine, character facial animations, graphics, and most of all it had a captivating story and great gameplay.
