bookmarking is such a lightweight task (like vpn), compute and storage wise, there is no reason to not self host it. many nice solutions out there, i personally use wallabag. its gets many things right.
This isn’t the Apple I remember. Product integration falls apart at every seam, but don’t worry—we’ve got plenty of impressive technical documentation to compensate. I’m sure Jobs would be thrilled to see his ‘it just works’ philosophy replaced with ‘it barely works, but here’s a 50-page PDF explaining why.
The philosophy is the same, and since it was never implemented in the mythical era of Jobs, so is the practice. So he'd be as thrilled as he was back then?
As someone that was around in the days of Apple before bankruptcy, the same, there is no Jobs more around, and is getting back to Gil Amelio kind of Apple.
Tim Cook might be better at squeezing the juice, but he is not a product person.
This time around they need another solution, otherwise regardless of how much money they have, they will stay as the iOS/iPad company, given the relevance of macOS on desktop market worldwide.
Customers are always chasing the next big thing in this space. As a programmer who’s worked on mobile UIs and backends using CC, I can say the appeal isn’t really the model itself—it’s the form factor. It’s a decent product, but hardly groundbreaking or essential.
Add that external payment button and watch my app magically disappear from search results.
Sure, they changed the rules on paper, but who's policing their algorithm? Nobody. They can tank my keywords overnight and call it "normal fluctuation."
FAANG will be fine, but indies? Gentle reminder that ASO funnels have no customer support. Might just suddenly "stop working."
i've recently set claude 3.7 as the default option for customers when they start new chats in my app. this was a recent change, and i'm feeling good about it. supporting multiple providers can be a nightmare for customer service, especially when it comes to billing and handling response quality queries. with so many choices from just one provider, it simplifies things significantly. curious about how openai manages customer service internally.
Google leadership has had a measured approach and product releases seem more baked than ever, it’s refreshing to see. Their 0 to 1s feel compelling and more Apple(2000s) like.
