Passkeys have a marketing problem where no one is able to describe simply what it is without having to use technical jargon. There's also the problem where each OS tries too hard in pushing this to the face of end-user

One big change I had when learning Japanese was that someone introduced to me Cure Dolly videos on YouTube, and it has been an eye-opener: All these verb conjugations are actually attaching another verb to extend its meaning

Congrats on the 1.0 milestone!

I had a Show HN that built with Instant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44247029 The common request from that thread was to add guest auth, and few months later Instant had it baked in, so it was really easy to add that feature. Great dev experience :)

My gripe is with multi-layer approvals for permission request tickets. If it's only 1 layer, the only layer will make sure the person it's correct. However once there are >1 layer, each layer will think the other n-1 layers will check and turn out no one will check and blindly approve things...

I switched to KISS Launcher several years back and had been loving it. I like the philosophy of search-based launcher. This way, if I don't actively search for an app, I won't be distracted into opening one

I want to learn driving.

I live in a city with well-connected public transport (Singapore) so I don't feel the need to learn. However, this year I travelled to some rural areas in Japan and started to feel the pain of relying solely on public transport which is either extremely sparse, or sometimes non-existent which limits the places I want to visit. That's why I felt like if I obtain this skill, I can explore more places in my travels

Thanks. Noticed this too after I added Sentry, should be fixed already :)

I feel like once I list down the places in the map, I sort of can grasp which places should go together or play around with the schedules to make things work. Yes it's more manual work, but I feel that's part of the 'fun' in planning? (some people get stressed, but I love the planning part of the trip too)

Thank you. This app is meant for me to replace my "Excel trip planning workflow" and I'm glad that you like it :)

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that everyone have their own workflow and this might not suit your prefered workflow. Having a 'idea list' is requested several times and I have started working on implementing it. But I don't think this app supports that 'democracy' collaboration yet, nor ticketing constraints...
