Sad, but not surprising to see Apple discontinue the Pro Display XDR. Hard to go back to 5K once you’ve used 6K.

In 2006 the iPhone was announced without an App Store and Apple’s party line was to just build/use web apps.

Fast forward to 2008 and the App Store is launched along with Super Monkey Ball – a day one app – the perfect game to demonstrate the power of a true native app that could _never_ be achieved on the web.

This is very cool. It seems like the prompt is asking the LLM to one shot an answer. Have you tried asking it to make a group, confirm whether it's correct, and repeat with the remaining words? (like a human would)

Curious how you’re implementing the background queue for publishing? Something custom in Rust?

interval.com founder here, this is correct! Everything w/ us is defined in our SDK.

So instead of writing React code or using a drag-and-drop builder, you define everything ranging from simple forms to more complex views in Node.js or Python code using our SDK.

Thanks! On the differences between Retool: the output (customer support tools, admin dashboards, etc.) is pretty similar between both products, but _how_ those tools are built is really different.

Something like Retool gives you a drag-and-drop UI builder, Interval is made for backend devs and lets you create UIs directly in your backend code. So you don’t need to learn another drag-and-drop tool or frontend framework.

Re: where the code actually runs… this is another really cool component of Interval. We host the UI for you on interval.com but the actual backend code (including everything sensitive like your environment variables, business logic, etc.) runs on your infra and Interval can’t see it by design.

Founder of https://interval.com here. We're somewhere in-between Retool and Windmill which was mentioned on this thread.

Like Windmill, Interval is heavily code-focused. Our model lets you define tools in your existing TypeScipt/JavaScript codebase.

Like Retool, you can use Interval to build complete internal dashboards that handle the "view stuff" side of things, not just the script/workflow "do stuff" pieces.

This is cool! Curious if it would be possible to run the model on device?
