I just low how this big card gives you the impression that Material Web is still a thing. Then you click on it and the first thing you'll see is "MWC is in maintenance mode" "Material Design is no longer actively staffing its development." and "New features and components are no longer planned."

I am incredibly confused why the Material 3 project is growing further and further from a coherent design system to "do whatever you want, there are no rules".

The linked "Start building with Material 3 Expressive" article has an example at the bottom for a payment type app where virtually every text element has a different font or text size. It also has an enormously big FAB at the bottom that covers MULTIPLE rows of data.

I have a local Navidrome server, which I don't really use as a "Spotify alternative" (I don't mirror my casual listened songs) but as a big database of videogame and series/movie soundtracks.

It helped me when I tested out Apple Music for a few months and I noticed it's absolutely not working as well for me.

I'm a bit confused, why is this 100% local web video editor asking for a login when exporting a video?

To me, it's always wild to see people trying to prove this is "the future" and "no one will ever code again". And then they try to prove it by building a react todo app, something that has been done millions of times and is really just an advanced hello world project...

I've had great success using AI for some tough things, but not on an entire foreign codebase that requires domain knowledge, no matter how constrained my prompts are. As soon as your use-case goes above the average "building a small tool and make it a $4.99 saas startup", AI really only helps you with the exact code to transfer your already pre-planned pseudo-code/behavior.

And even then, you need the knowledge to understand that what the AI merged out of the millions of StackOverflow answers is actually outdated or a hallucinated API function that never existed.

I may also just misunderstand the term itself. From what I've seen, "vibe coding" is used as a term for someone who does not want to go into the details, who does not want to check or adapt the code, who just wants to explain their idea to an LLM and expect a fully built feature, without doing any of the development themselves.

I myself use AI all the time, for smaller things, for more math-heavy things, for decisions I already thought about but want to check with best-practices (after all, LLMs are trained with the "hive mind" thoughts of programming). I use it as a companion, a tool akin to JetBrains refactor tools, something I can drop on a specific function to enhance my own work.

The problem with this little post is, that vibe coding just is not a "better" way to code. It strips development of something from all the fun developing, from circling around an idea, from figuring out something with your own brain, from trying and testing new stuff, from actually working as a developer...

If you genuinely "vibe-code 24/7", you don't develop software, you are translating business logic rules to a set of long explained commands and put it in a black box and hope it works...

Integrating AI in a meaningful way while keeping the same consistency and maintainability of a software project is hard, just throwing EVERYTHING at an LLM has not really worked out in the last few months to a year yet...

The fact the entire code of the Source engine comes ontop of that...

It makes sense they decided to focus on Source 2 instead...

For what it's worth:

The DailyDev plugin only has access to "https://*.daily.dev/" and "https://*.dailynow.co/". It is also not required, you can just go to app.daily.dev yourself (I did not want to install the addon on my main PC)

I personally had to use it once to explain to someone higher up why there hasn't been a user-facing feature change in a month.

He did not understand that things can change without him seeing it in the frontend and I was in the middle of a crucial rewrite.

I generally like these tools, but I hate how they focus so much on one specific framework.

Tailwind is so general, why wouldn't you build a tool that works with Vue, that works with React, that works with Svelte?

On my work device, I have daily.dev installed. Every work day, I usually invest 15-20 minutes of catching up with recent news about all things dev and having it as the "new tab" helps me not forgetting about it.

Other than that, yeah, I usually CTRL+T and write right away.

I generally agree, the fact that the project relies on Google's internal steering is the much bigger factor in this to me.

There is no guarantee these 50 devs can actually focus on Flutter, instead they might get looped in in the internal race to AI products.

Could this be the random installers that were present in a folder of the repo? They had some C++ installers and I think a random Intel driver in there...

Most of the Android examples seem to be visually aligned to the 2018-ish Material 2 instead of the 2021 released Material 3 styling, which is a bummer, because it makes apps instantly look dated.

I think I would expect more from a 270€ pricing...

So instead of just using a domain TXT record you're required to host a page and provide access to this file? Seems worse than how AtProto handle's this.

The big problem with this is that content is harder and harder to find. Try to find a non-AI generated reply to a viral post on Twitter, you're looking at having to scroll down 5-6 1080p screens to finally get to some actual stuff people wrote.

The content you're enjoying today still exists, but it's a needle in a haystack of AI spam

I just have a Samba Server running as a second docker container and also expose a ytdl service for quick youtube -> server imports

I have been using Koel for a few months on my server. It was pretty good but not great. Nowadays I have Navidrome running on a docker service, along with a samba server, so I can easily add content and use any Jellyfin client I want (Like Symfonium on Android).

I think what would also be important is to select an existing frame and create additional views that fit the existing frame, that would definitely help creating a proper workflow

I do think the number one points I've had with the feature were: - I'd like to create tablet sized apps, or desktop/web sized apps (and not landing pages) - It would be awesome if I could provide mock JSON data and let Figma design a rough concept of how to align that data

I think with those two things, It can be a really great "first draft", to be remade by me properly.

It's really tough. I have worked in an industry where I got credits for a decade in some higher quality productions as well. I had to start at 0, because credits are set in stone, and it would be dangerous to connect these two lifes for me.

I've been working with React, Vue, Nuxt/Next, even some ASP.net... Somehow, I keep coming back to Laravel when creating a new dynamic project. Whenever I setup a new project in other frameworks, I get exhausted afterwards, I had this great idea I wanted to try out, but after the setup, I lost all motivation.

It's different with Laravel, because the setup is so much quicker and it has everything I need preconfigured out of the box. I don't mind writing PHP, my heart loves C# but I've worked with PHP for almost a decade now. The best thing is, that I can STILL use Vue if I want (and I very often do) through Laravel Breeze.

It feels a bit like this tech event I've always been looking forward to died to be honest. IO was always cool, you could always see general product updates, but this year seems to be AI only. Half of the talks/videos will also be AI focussed, it's a bummer because it's always a source to learn new SDKs or design ideas through them.

It's the same as with Photoshop. Sometimes, stuff doesn't work, but it's the best that's around.

I've been using it for a year for my open source projects before I had a Figma license for contract work. I'd say it's VERY capable, performance can be iffy with enormously big files, but generally on-par with Figma. Their workflow is closer to webdev, so handover to devs is easier, but they lack some of the neat component magic of Figma (last time I've seen they don't have component changes for hover/click states for example).

That being said, it's FOSS, anyone can help, they will never have a rugpull like almost getting bought by Adobe.

I'm glad this tool is NOT infested with overly bloated HTML through Tailwind.

The larger follower count comes FROM this project. I've seen a lot of people being really excited for this style and hoping their own tech stack comes next.

It's just something cute to celebrate tech.

I tried it out, asking it to create a button and a tabbar, modern styled. After 4 minutes, it came back with just the tabbar, that was unstyled.

Not the best demo, to be honest.

Omegle was a horrible place that was not moderated enough and enabled groomers. It was also a place that felt very "old school internet" due to the "wild west style".
