I'm using it daily. It's not as good as Photoshop with brushes, the quick selection and masking features and the type engine is not as sophisticated. But for the simple edits I need to do, it is more than adequate.

ChatGPT on macOS isn't built with Electron, at least the last time I checked. Just checking the linked frameworks shows that it links against macOS AppKit and the Swift libraries.

From a user perspective can definitely tell too, it's a polished, fast desktop app and has all the UI details one would expect from a native app.

One can imagine that resolving this will require a separate model to construct a timeline/keyframe series from a text description then interpolate between them.

Fascinating times, either way this is allegedly being open–sourced, so I'm hopeful others will be able to build on top.

Such a wonderful read. Think of childhood or teenage years when you spent hours building things for the sheer joy of it, profit motive be damned. More of us could do with sabbaticals to explore projects like this as an adult. Build out in the open, perhaps it will work, maybe it won’t. But you’ll learn a vast amount, have fun along the way, and probably learn what you should be doing instead.

Bookmarked, because I know I’m going to have to re-read this.

Crash reporting, formerly Hockey App but when acquired by Microsoft it became part of App Center.

Pontevedra is mentioned in the fifth paragraph, but unfortunately not much detail is given.

An excellent book. David Deutsch is a talented writer and this is one of those books that shifts the way you look at the world.

IMAP can be awkward with sync, pagination and has never played great with labels vs folders. JMAP looks promising.

Appears that (wording is somewhat vague) apps which only store user data on the device do not need to go through this external security assessment.

Agree that this is Google pushing their security costs onto developers and effectively killing bootstrapped SAAS apps.

Think the fairest model is one where you pay once for the app, updates are free for a set period of time, then you have to pay again to upgrade if you wish to. If not, the old version is yours indefinitely.

Well aware that the App Stores do not offer this option, but it is possible if you implement your own billing system on macOS or Windows.

I would love to post it on Product Hunt. I just don't have posting privileges on there yet.

Yes, indeed a bug. Thanks for the headsup, I'm on it.

Sure. A significant amount of people like having their entire inbox locally downloaded (and seemingly more common in the tech industry) but there's also a lot of people that keep it all in the cloud.
