Omarchy has been fun to play with and perhaps is a contender against macOS for some developers.

I find it amusing the level of engineering that seems to have gone into this hand contrasted with the absolute AI slop in this blog post.

Let’s not be silly. If there are 10 people each with 10% and the company grows by 93%, then everybody’s shares, including the founder’s, grows by 93%.

I believe their target price is $20k. No idea if it costs that right now, I doubt it.

What are your thoughts on the Fluent Forever method, specifically the part that going through the effort of creating your own study materials is an integral part of recall and internalizing new words/knowledge? It's definitely attractive to have a lot of the "manual work" be automated, but maybe it's a necessary effort to cross the chasm that is intermediate language learning and perhaps most people stay at intermediate levels not because of the lack of a tool but because there's a natural filter with how much effort is required to go from intermediate to fluent.

I've been "stuck" in intermediate Japanese for years now after being on and off multiple times. Got to 1.2k kanji, "ok" grammar and ~3k vocab words. Perhaps something like this is what's needed. I've been wanting an "instructor" that can do this sort of indexing for all sorts of content like TV shows, movies, books, articles, etc.
