Interesting decision to have zero images of the new design on the landing page. Could you share why you decided this way?

Why do entrepreneurs NOT use ready-made forum softwares like this to start startups? Clever use of general tools like this (maybe not specifically Flarum) can help them launch communities or marketplaces in less than a day. Is it as optimal as a in-house built forum? No. Should they be saving time on reinventing the undifferentiated code part so that they can test the core business concept and build out their differentiated networks of users? Yes.

No. From Monterey to Ventura, they changed checkboxes to switches, which they explicitly recommend against in their Human Interface Guidelines.

Having said, I don't think 100% consistency is a useful goal anyway. The Ventura design is usable, and the guideline is useful. Gap between the two can be operational "debt" (like technical debt) which is not theoretically ideal, but practically useful to keep making/shipping progress.

Wow! End of an era!

Programmatic land grabs like this is why people today must suffer from lack of remaining .com domain names.

Nothing wrong with the writer of this post. I think this is a rational behavior that should be considered "expected". Whoever designed domain name registration/ownership model is to blame for failing to create a system which can efficiently give right domain names to people who actually need them and can use them for good (aka actually hosting businesses or contents instead of scalping).

This.

I never understood MFAs. In terms of ability to "log back in", it creates more "weakest links", where failure of one can lock me out of all.

Most consumers don't, but I use 3+ phones at a time, picking up whichever one has battery and is near me, and replace phones multiple times a year. MFAs and similar "future-looking" security solutions seem to target majority cases, whereas I think such security solutions need to support edge cases.

Currently, my best guess is magic links where I can set aliases like "this particular email" to be the source of truth, such that I can lose a device or two and still access the email, and still replace entire email if email is compromised (or regularly, just for best practice). But definitely does not feel satisfying...

Big respect for experts who are thinking about this problem day and night to solve it for the humankind. Seems hard and is definitely critically important!

Still no abolition of policy suppressing PWAs to 50MB?

When will they abolish the arbitrary 50MB limit on PWAs?

Seems like an interesting problem, but I have zero background knowledge. Could you share who would use this and why?
