I’ve tried _so_ many different desktop workflows (including writing two custom window managers!), and I’ve finally settled for the exact same workflow - F -keys bound to my most common apps, all fullscreened. It becomes muscle memory within two weeks, and it’s faster than anything else I’ve tried by a mile. I use Thor for MacOS if anyone wants to replicate it, it’s a no-fuss version of the author’s setup.

If I ever do need to see two things side-by-side, I’ve also got Rectangle for window positioning. A single cmd+caps lock+H/J/K/L for left-half/restore/maximise/right-half is all I’ve found is necessary.

I've fallen all the way down this rabbit hole - from a full-size to a 60% to an ergodox to a CRKBD (36 key split) - and come all the way out again, settling with a chiclet standard qwerty (Apple wireless keyboard).

I think the central hypothesis of using these keyboards is flawed. It seems to all centre around thinking that less movement is better, and that keeping as close to the home row as possible is king, even if that means chording, contorting your hands to reach far keys, and over-relying on your weak pinky fingers.

Human bodies are meant to move. I've found that since I've started dancing over keyboard more with my fingers (a sort of advanced hunt-and-peck using all fingers but the pinky), combined with using a low profile keyboard, my hand pain has disappeared, and I'm at my fastest WPM yet (105). YMMV of course, but it's worth considering if you're peering into the rabbit hole.

KJo is a slam-dunk open OTB, but I get your point!

In the summary: > Li-Fi can theoretically transmit at speeds of up to 100 Gbit/s

In the main article: > Researchers have reached data rates of over 224 Gbit/s

Am I missing something here, or does the claim in the summary need to be adjusted?

Heh, first time I’ve seen this. I’m of the opinion that as long as you’re not using something wildly out of place like papyrus or comic sans in a professional setting, it’s not hugely impactful what font you choose. You can spend hours comparing the subtle differences between helvetica and ariel but does it really make a difference?

Also unrelated but the shocked dude in the last pane looks way too much like Elon Musk for my liking.

Typography, to me, is one of those things that’s simultaneously incredibly boring and completely fascinating. On the one hand, it’s something you experience (whether consciously or not) for a large part of your day, and each font you read in your day has been meticulously chosen for all the supposed qualities it gives off. But on the other hand - it’s just a bloody font.

Some unsolicited advice for you:

* That initial "How to use it" diagram completely puts me off the product - it seems dizzyingly complex, and to have that right at the top before I even know what the product is seems like a mistake.

* Consider getting a native speaker to review the text - the grammar is off in a fair few places.

* Write a simpler paragraph for what your product does - I've read through the entire landing page, and your HN comment, and I still don't understand what it is you are selling.

I currently use a third-party git GUI (GitKraken atm) but I also use jetbrains products, am I missing out by not using the integrated git functionality? If so, is there a tutorial or guide you could recommend, or is it all fairly self-explanatory?

I went to checkout your profile as I was interested in seeing what products you've made, and I saw on your website you've got a mailto link. I was thinking of adding the same thing to my site, but I'm worried about crawlers picking up my email and using it for spam. Has this happened to you at all - do you get much spam?

This is why I'm cancelling my hey subscription as well. I get that they are upfront about it being a feature, and it sounds great at first, but it's made me paranoid about missing mails now - a feeling I never got with any other service provider. It's a shame, as I got in pretty early and bagged a great account name (firstname @ hey.com). But it's not worth sacrificing my sanity for vanity.

Ah I hadn't clocked that part - it's actually a tool to get the upper-hand against a _particular_ known opponent. Not that useful to me, but cool to know it exists!

What does this provide that the chess.com analysis engine doesn't? I'm a chess rookie but I find the engine's suggestions and playing through paths much more useful than just seeing what moves people have played against me and their win rates. Is this a tool that only becomes useful for higher rated players?

I presume the right time was 20-30 years ago?

Just took a look at your product, I'm very impressed and have added myself to the waitlist. I'm almost even more impressed by the domain name itself though - how on earth did you manage to bag that domain?!
