Oh that’s what they mean by “subagents”, now I get it.

On mobile there’s a snowflake toggle button in the top left corner. I only noticed this after reading the whole article in reader mode and wondering why my iPhone was on fire…

Yep also ran into this while trying to search the article. It’s maddening when the share action is now also hidden within a context menu.

I was starting to wonder why my iPhone got crazy hot. I’m using reader mode and it appears to continue running the web page and animation in the background… crazy.

> I'm speculating here but I'm pretty sure if you did an MRI on my brain you'd see lesions from the mixing of mdma and sertraline (I get myoclonic jerks to this day).

Could you speak more to this? A family member was recently diagnosed with myoclonic jerks without a clear root cause, so treatment has been hit or miss so far. I’m trying to learn what I can to help inform them.

> Really... how data flows through your program is actually a separate graph structure, and how HTML elements are organized in your program is another separate graph structure we try to graft into the first one and that creates a mess.

My team migrated away from Redux and for over a year I’ve been unable to pinpoint why I’ve been longing for it again. This has hit the nail on the head for me. Redux (and other “global” state management solutions) allowed me to decouple the data graph from the UI graph. When a UI event is triggered, an action is dispatched and then the data graph takes over. This makes the UI graph extremely simple - render UI and dispatch actions - but these days we’re mixing state with business logic, event handling, API calls, rendering UI, styling, etc. This is very much a problem of our own making that could be solved by a different architecture, but yeah… thanks for clarifying this feeling for me.

I understand the sentiment, but a better comparison would be if your tool of choice had to be shared between everyone on your team.

> This is surprising to me because I find content locks and editing friction very annoying.

The first rule of UX design: it’s not about you.

Perhaps OP isn’t Notion’s target audience, but dismissing something because you don’t share their perspective is not great.

I think you’re conflating UX with UI, which is usually the cause of confusion in these discussions.

What you’re advocating for - solving the problem - is the essence of UX design. Visual design is only part of the design process that comes after user research, information architecture and interaction design.

Access to a market that they solely own, the definition of antitrust.

I ended up filling the grain with wood filler dyed black and make it pop and then layered a few coats of trans-red from a spray can so you can still see the grain. It’s not a glassy finish but that’s what I was going for and the colour is amazing! I always wanted a red strat with a black pickguard and gold hardware so I thought why not!

I’m personally a fan of leaving the wood visible but the best thing is you can do whatever you want and it’ll be awesome because you made it.

That’s awesome! I did the same a couple of years ago (took about 1 year to complete) and it’s one of the things I’m most proud of, so I hope it feels as fulfilling for you too!

Pretty sure this made the rounds back in 2018 when the article was published.
