You either die an MVP or live long enough to build content moderation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28684250
Congrats on the milestone!
The issue is with the intentional misleading of people to think their device is slowing down when they just need a battery replacement. At Apple’s scale it’s significant and dishonest towards its customers.
I've also used Redmine a few years ago. It gets the job done but nowhere near as slick and fun to use.
Doesn't Google already consider that if a user returns to the results page (or clicks a second link) then the first link visited was not satisfactory. Seems like a pretty elegant solution.
I originally thought they were trying to cache account data responses and so wondered why they wouldn't just use unique query parameters in that case. Definitely risky business though.
Out of interest, it looks like Cloudflare offers some sort of token authentication to authenticate at the edge: https://blog.cloudflare.com/token-authentication-for-cached-...
I guess I didn't think of that originally because I thought if you wanted to cache some kind of response data like this, why on earth would you use a generic URL? But perhaps they probably didn't intend to cache this endpoint.
In my limited experience working with CDNs wouldn't you just cache the responses of unique URLs and have some sort of cookie check at the edge before serving it.
So my own app would request something like /api/account?id=123 with my own id in there.
How would you end up getting other people's data in your app if your app only calls that unique URL?
Perhaps Atlassian was sitting on cash and needed to make some bets. If you can build a big enough user base for a browser it can earn handsomely from AdWords type referral fees. Look at what Google pays Apple to be default on Safari and how much referral spend Chrome recouped for Google etc. Maybe Atlassian will try and promote Dia to its customer base and look to launch more AI type commercial product discovery experiences like Perplexity Shopping.
