When they had this AI induced relaunch „What do you want to build“ they lost the plot.

I guess their product-market fit was always a bit shallow / broad. Airtable is powerful, and you can do so much with it, but it’s never better than the use case specific alternatives. Opaque pricing and feature gating create a lot of friction as well. Also, these „it can do anything, but you have to set it up yourself“ kinds of apps, always have it hard with true bottom up adoption.

There is a third little dot near the camera you can see with a flashlight and that's an ambient light sensor.

Very cool. Post it in the Svelte subreddit, I am sure they‘ll enjoy this.

I thought the connecting arrows were bugged at first, then I realized it's a genius implementation. This alone makes me want to use this more than Figjam.

That's called optical alignment. He somewhat mentions that with the Apple logo example.

Sorry for the German only link, but this is from today and didn't make the rounds yet. It is not really about Shopify itself, but about the use of CDNs - which would be even more worrisome. Shopify Support couldn't help the shop owner.

You are right. I meant fresh water. Sorry, it was midnight when I wrote that.

Ukraine is/was on track to become a petrostate for Europe, which is a big threat for Russia. Add to that all the other points and he has somewhat „good reason“. Russia is also kinda on a decline polulation wise so he must act sooner rather then later. One thing no one notes is that Crimea gets most of its sweet water from Ukraine (which was cut off of course). That was quite the issue, but it seems they advanced now to the location where it was cut off so that’s solved I guess.

Yea that one is better. A snarky one liner is funny, but doesn't communicate any value to your customers. "Your future self will thank you" is a good way of saying "invest in yourself" I like it much more.

If it's a good domain it would be snatched by someone who wants to make a profit flipping domains. The domain business is broken.

What's that about Maximator?

In regard to the display: Yes, those marks come from the keys pressing against the display. Be careful how much you fill in your backpack with the MBP. My display looks very bad around the space bar (that is the 2018 "improved display"). Noticed that way too late. An Apple Genius recommended me to always have a microfiber cloth between display and keyboard when traveling. Not on a $3000 device thanks.

Heating/fan issues, double typing keys, too many "-gates" to count. I never had so much buyers regret.

That wasn't the one I was thinking of, but it's essentially the same. He is just less absolute about it.
