This is great! Would love to hear more about your experience working on it if you are interested in sharing – did you notice any particular tasks where this type of interaction shined? My dream would be to have something like built into an

Wow, Commando looks really similar to the Kui tool mentioned in a sibling comment [0]. Would you agree? Or was Commando only used for options / an alternate to flags? [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22500032

Very excited to hear this. In the blog post where they announced this [0], they also say they will be helping their customers, the more the merrier. I know people worry that big companies use compliance to squeeze out smaller competitors, b

It's actually a range between $100-$750 or actual damages, whichever is greater. [0] The law also specifically calls out in the next section that: "In assessing the amount of statutory damages, the court shall consider any one or

My understanding is that you should make sure that you have a service provider [0] contract in place with your mail provider and that they have easy to use tools for you to opt-out and delete subscribers info. There is also a need to make s

CCPA states that data is valuable and specifically calls out trading for "other valuable consideration" as part of selling. Therefore (in my read) if your business is "giving away" data, it would inherently be for "

Interesting. That is a separate experimental low-data setting that's been around for a while in Chrome, but isn't supported by Safari [0]. Haven't run across it before, thanks! For low data mode specifically, looks like you c

The page load doesn't seem to change with "Low Data Mode" enabled on Safari (seeing ~30MB). Does anyone know if there is a way to detect that setting from within Safari? Would be cool to provide a low-fi version of a page if

Decided to put together a (hopefully!) more readable version of the legal text of CCPA. Felt that the one on the .gov site [0] that was lacking even basic indentation was a bit hard to follow! :) Not exactly light reading for a Friday night

As a long time player of the game Taboo, I liked this. :) Couple of thoughts: Nice that you didn’t force an account, but might be nice to claim the account to come back? I’d work on the alignment of buttons and timer on mobile - things don’

Glad to see more innovation in plastic recycling. Reminds me of this interview about making medical devices from recycled plastic in Gaza[0]: “Let’s talk about how your medical devices are printed on the ground in Gaza. 3D printers use plas

ImageOptim also strips out a lot of (all?) the image metadata which is often a place people leak data unintentionally.

I like using storymaps to outline/manage projects. https://storiesonboard.com is a good collaborative tool for that or you can just use sticky notes on the wall if you are co-located. Here’s a blog post that explains the co

Seems like having more than one way to solve the puzzle could be fun. Next time you see if you can pick an alternate ending. Or providing extra “tools” to newbies that make the time pressure much more intense if you don’t have them the seco

This is really interesting. I've run into an issue finding qualified participants for user research studies many times. The companies focused on that space tend to be very businesses. Will take a look next time I have a survey! A tiny

Confirmed issue - https://status.stripe.com . Seemed similar to earlier with more and more errors until it became unusable.

I think there’s a headline in there with the double meaning of “Save the web.” Something like... “Save the web. Polar helps you archive, search, and take notes on what you read online. Whether it’s the web-based documentation you need to ke

That makes sense, thanks for the reply. I hadn't thought about low vision users using screen readers.

Very timely! I've been working on making a site accessible to screen readers and people who navigate via the command line. One thing I have been wondering is how often people who use screen readers are navigating with CSS/styles t

Neat! Happy it works on mobile web. FYI, there’s a short pause after getting a wrong answer that almost seems like the app is waiting for me to try again. Sadly if I tap during that moment, the ui updates and then I get the next one wrong t

I recently wrote an article[0] about how I use my iPad. A few of my favorites are: I write in Apple Notes and Working Copy[1] (for markdown). I wireframe and do basic layout design with Keynote. Keynote is surprisingly good for this, especi

Thanks for the response! I can imagine how losing privacy would be extremely frustrating. I played with an iPhone app[1] version for a while and was able to get moving pretty fast. It makes text input feel like a game. Also, I realized that

I checked out your site[1] and stumbled upon Dasher[2]. That is an amazing way to type! Do you still use it? I would love to think further about the typography and spacing to make it clearer, but curious what your experience has been. [1]

Sounds like you are looking at more automated solutions anyways, but if you end up making a backup from a Drive that is synced to your computer, realize you are only backing up links to google sheets, docs, and slides, not the actual files.
