Hopefully it is just copilot that is dying and not GitHub itself.

Looks really good but it's sad to see something that rules out Firefox. This isn't a jab at you, it's the state of our industry. Still sad though.

This looks really cool. I'd love to read your dev blog if there is one?

I would love more information on your setup. I want what you have, but I've skipped the app release because I thought xcode was required, and last time I used it it hurt me.

I think a few more than 2 people have said that now.

The idea is really cool. I thought the simplicity of the framework would mean there were lots of examples. Well, there are lots. But not one of them is working.

Uncaught TypeError: The specifier “lume-js” was a bare specifier, but was not remapped to anything. Relative module specifiers must start with “./”, “../” or “/”.

SQL named parameters was a feature introduced into PHP on 24th Nov 2005, with the release of PHP 5.1.0.

The author's idea is "A Simple, Radical Idea: Put Consent in the Browser". So when you set up your browser, you get a single choice of whether you want websites to track you and sell your data.

Here's an even more radical idea: the browser doesn't even ask you this, and by default it just respects the user's privacy and blocks all third party tracking.

Can you imagine an internet where the user is put first?

I love how you've kept it so simple, but it actually solves a real-world problem. Well done for releasing something!

Whenever Thunderbird makes its way to the front page of Hacker News, I always re-download it and hope that I can use it.

Every time I've ever tried it (spanning around 30 installs over the last 15 years), I've uninstalled within a week to a month, due to sluggish UI, phantom unread emails, crashes, and text formatting issues.

I do it because I believe that one day Thunderbird could be good. Today could be the day - I've installed it, added my accounts, and it looks like the developers have made some significant improvements. I'm not talking about fancy new features, instead I'm talking about the small nitpicky problems I've had whenever I've tried to use it.

For example, this time I installed, I didn't have to go into a hidden settings menu (here be dragons) to make new emails default to the top of lists. My replies are now made above the original message. Fastmail doesn't throw a wobbly when trying to add email, calendar and contacts with the same password.

Maybe today is the last time I install Thunderbird?

I signed up. Every piece of functionality is "coming soon" as far as I can tell. I'm not sure what the purpose of putting it on Hacker News is other than to validate a product before it's built.

"It's not for everyone, but it might be for you!"

I'm not sure if this product's tagline is the best/worst I've ever seen. It sounds like something Alan Partridge might think of.
