For Tarot, did you generate base-color, roughness and normal maps? How do you make sure something like the roughness map doesn't deviate slightly from the base-color?

i’d love it more if they were ideas people actually tried, like quibi!

I'm a full stack Rails and React dev with 11-years of experience. Product focused, from wireframing and user stories I've helped companies through greenfield app development, rearchitecting existing apps, and maintaining legacy products.

In my free time I like making 3D-experiences and mapping GIS data.

This is so neat! Is there a debug mode where I could just fly around and examine the planet?

interesting that even though it’s such a cherished resource no one’s taken up the flag to complete it after all this time.

I've built api only. It would be sick if it were easier to sprinkle react/vue/svelte/whatever in your haml views if you only needed a little bit of interaction but didn't want to spin up a whole other frontend.

Yeah but I wish in an alternate reality DHH chose a different route. If you go API only then you lose half of what makes rails great. It would be sick if you could render React/Vue/Svelte easily in your haml views and not have to have a js repo then figure out jwts and auth.

Dunno I loved rails, built monoliths, built api only, but when I tried sprinkling a bit of react in my views (say you only need a little bit of interaction, or want to use a react date picker) then theres all these sharp edges.

The reason I want it to be bigger is that user base helps the single dev, with help resources, up to date gems, and jobs.

I think if Rails had focused on giving real first party support to interoperability with whatever frontend framework you brought to the table it would be so much bigger right now. They put a lot of work into Hotwire but I just want to use React, and I'm sure others want to use what they're familiar with.

My friend somehow made it through to senior year without ever taking a math class. To graduate the counselor put them in the cafeteria serving lunch, which somehow counted towards a math credit.

Public school in Hawaiʻi man.

I think it's a fantastic idea! Having met 90% of my girlfriends through dating apps, I've watched them all gradually morph into Tinder clones with dark patterns and steep monthly fees ($20-$50). It's terrifying to think you might never meet your future spouse because you accidentally swiped left on a touchscreen.

I used to really like OkCupid. Old school OkC reminded me of Bantr from Ted Lasso, it was more personality-driven. You'd answer hundreds of questions and see compatibility scores with people nearby. Even though that might be a questionable metric (I actually enjoy dating people different from me), it was interesting to sort by inverse and see who I was supposedly incompatible with.

What I love most about meeting through apps is how low-pressure it feels. There's no second-guessing about whether they're interested, if they're single, or worrying that you're bothering them. A dating app that actually tries to help people connect instead of sucking us dry through backtrack fees would be amazing.

I have no knowledge of the non-profit space, how would you initially fund something like that?
