I appreciate you sharing your perspective, but "I'm not telling you who I work for because you'll find us if you need us" coupled with "find your own in a small geographic radius" isn't broadly helpful in any way. I was hopeful to see if I could divest some DNS risk, then just got hit with your IYKYK wall of uselessness. I did search for niche providers around me, but I think we're in wildly different markets. Maybe just the nudge to search is helpful for some people, but I found it to be a fruitless rabbit hole.

I said nothing about Anthropic's right to run their company how they choose. Nor, frankly, did you. Your comments directed at myself and the parent are simply made in bad faith. The snark and sanctimony drips from virtually every sentence you wrote, but "Perhaps you need to stretch that which you surely take to be your vast imagination." is certainly one obvious example of many.

If you can't acknowledge the irony of a thread about civil communication between human and machine involving statements such as yours, between human and human, all the more from one such as yourself seemingly trying to take the moral high ground, well, I'm not sure what more to say. I suppose it's best to be mutually amused, and go about our good days.

I read it to mean, the type of person who begins a comment with:

> If only matters of interest were limited to the things you could "absolutely fathom" how much simpler our lives would all be.

Immediately proceeds to label the parent comment as "snide" and then feigns misguided ignorance when met with exasperation.

I'm not xyzsparetimexyz though. Merely a person amused by the rapid devolution of communication from those trying to take the sanctimonious high ground on how sacred all forms of written speech should be, directed to machine or otherwise...

Jesus Herbert Christo. Literally, not figuratively, literally, as I was reading your comment I got the "iCloud Storage is Full" upsell nag that I have tried to disable a hundred times. I stopped to asked my Lord and Savior Claude to help this time around:

> What I found on your Mac

> Apple Intelligence is ON. com.apple.CloudSubscriptionFeatures.optIn → [REDACTED] = 1 — that number is your Apple Account DSID. ~2.5 GB of models in /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_UAF_*, with generativeexperiencesd, intelligenceplatformd, modelmanagerd, TGOnDeviceInferenceProviderService and a Messages Assistant Extension all resident.

> The nag is pure upsell. Every iCloud service that notification names is already off on this Mac — your account has only KEYCHAIN_SYNC and FIND_MY_MAC enabled. Photos, Mail, Backup, Drive: all off. It's nagging you about your other devices' storage. Source is the com.apple.appleaccount.notifications bundle, fed by followupd and com.apple.CloudSubscriptionFeatures.followup.engagement.

> "I said no and Apple said yes" is literally happening. Siri shows Assistant Enabled = 0, yet ten Siri daemons are running. Share Mac Analytics is off (AutoSubmit = 0) — and SubmitDiagInfo still logged LastFullSubmissionSuccess today at 12:36 UTC.

This is absolutely bananas.

Thanks for the kind response, and for teaching me more about the possible risks and downsides. I was just involved in the editing of the surgical footage, so I never got the "here's the potential drawbacks" speech. I wish you all the best in finding improvement for your situation!

> It signals either astroturfing or someone who just accepts what they are sold without thinking.

> Nor this level of spam and bad submissions.

Your comments seem pretty aggressive for what you’re replying to. Maybe take a beat to assess your biases? I thought the main comment was pretty fair and sensible, yet somehow you landed on calling them a spammer/bad submitter/astroturfer/non-thinker. Maybe they are? I could be wrong, but that's quite a strong reaction for what they asserted at face value. Not really trying to police anything here, I just thought the initial comment had merit and this devolved quite quickly.

With all my heart, I want to cheer you on. Making stuff is damn hard, and shipping is even harder. You did that, and I applaud you for it.

I do a lot of NYT puzzle stuff every day and some other random puzzle sites before I get out of bed. That said, I'm over 40, love puzzles, love complicated board games, went through your brief explainer, and could not get a sensible handle on how to even start this thing. A new player has to really care about how to even try to begin to figure out whatever this is. I gave it about 20 seconds after the "how does it work?" Honestly, I gave up. I'm really not trying to rain on your parade. You might find a niche audience, and it'll be what you're going for, but I think you need a much, much better rules explainer if you want to be even remotely in the vicinity of a Wordle-level banger.

This thing might be really awesome, but not being able to figure out how to use it is a hard out for me.

We can totally appreciate that everyone has their own price points. That said, I do want to clarify that Jelly is not priced per user. The starting plan is $29/mo for your entire team. Period. In the landscape of similar tools, we think that’s quite a lovely deal.

For some folks, that’s still expensive. We get it. If so (especially if you’re a nonprofit or educational institution or...) reach out to us and let’s talk!

OH

NO!

Thanks for the heads up! We’ll crack open the CSS...

The short story is that Good Enough has put a handful of (hopefully) delightful things into the world: https://goodenough.us/

Putting things into the world means getting emails. Being a team means juggling said emails about things amongst several people.

Enter the Shared Fastmail Account.

"Oh! A new email. Click. Oh, this isn’t really for me. Mark as unread. Or did someone else already read this, mark as unread, and think it was for me? I guess I will go talk to..." And, you know, two dozen variations on that theme. It sucked as a way to work together.

  what benefits does this provide over something like Slack or Discord for small teams?
We use Slack at Good Enough. It’s nifty. We even have a Jelly + Slack integration (and we use that too)! That said, the problem I described isn’t really solved by Slack. (Maybe Discord if you’re in a space that can funnel interactions there, but obviously there’s a lot of businesses who aren’t, and there’s a lot of drawbacks to using Discord as your only communication medium.)

Email is still widely used and wildly useful. We think being able to collaborate on emails as a team, with clear expectations about who is handling what and visibility on all the back and forth, is really helpful. We’ve been using it to scratch our own itch from day one, and we suspect it will be of interest to others as well!

Let me know if any of that didn’t make sense or you have any other questions.

Thanks for the kind words (and for passing Jelly along to others!).

  Maybe my only suggestion would be different kinds of archiving
Definitely something for us to consider. Thanks for the feedback!

  Also I see the Trix WYSIWYG editor, rails? :)
You nailed it! The Good Enough crew have all been long, long time Ruby/Rails fans. We’ve even landed a few commits into Rails along the way. :)
