Dev of Qdrant here.

What would change that to 'very happy' in your use case?

The majority of comments complains about non-USA. But the author clearly states:

> Fine, maybe country first

It's an example - limit typing. But adjust it to your own use case.

I've also received about 40 messages, on mail adresses I've never used before.

I have dyslexia, and I hate them. It makes me read slower and not better.

I do have two friends who like it. Maybe it's subjective?

Either way, I'm very happy people put effort in developing reading aids like this.

In my 5 years I was basically only allowed to use Microsoft tools. It's one of the most stupid things I've ever seen.

The email I have in that list is invalid and must be generated. It's on a domain I own.

I'm seriously impressed on how far this has come. Tried a few websites in the experimental mode, it renders quite well.

I do have a good use case for magic links.

I creates a bar management/sales platform for our group of friends. It's self service so people purchase their products on their phone and pay later.

People get... intoxicated... after which passwords appear to become quite the problem. Magic links solved that.

To solve the multi device and in-app browser problem people can also open the links on another device. That'll show a short code they can enter on the original device to actually log in. It's not perfect, but it works.

I do fully agree that passwords should always be an option as well.

I always feel rendering such blurred panes takes quite a performance hit. Do we have any numbers on this?

I might just be old - when this was done on the CPU.

While I agree FOSS doesn't give you the right to users money.

It is especially painful if (big) companies make big money with your free product.

Does it still do this when piping into things?
