damandloi··on Low adoption of features and the sad realization
I have seen product roadmap shifting in favor of sales requests and significantly changing the strategy. But hey, that's pivoting right?

Thank you for your feedback. I have removed the pop-up for now. No warning about the ugly readability experience in dark mode.

The solution provider is incentivized to add new use cases. Thus, always bringing the change that nobody has asked but the market.

Sorry for that. May I know what annoyed you the most? The old style popup (JS alert) or the presence of the popup?
damandloi··on The New Firefox and Ridiculous Numbers of Tabs
There is no switch. It's an inbuilt feature with the Chrme 57+
damandloi··on Google to add 'news feed' to website and app
Agree to it or not, all B2C companies want to maximize the time you spend with them and therefore, will push everyone for consumption rather than creation.
damandloi··on Ask HN: How much ad revenue you make from your side project?
A couple of years back, I used to make about $1000/month from about 150K page views. Nowadays, it is about $400 from 50K pageviews despite better CPC but ad impressions have come down.

Such calculators are worthless. There are tens in not hundreds of factors to determine ad revenue.

damandloi··on Microsoft to shut down Wunderlist in favor of its new app, To-Do
On the sidenote: The new app from Microsoft does not follow its design methodology if bright colors and big icons but seems to go for skeuomorphism.
damandloi··on Google plans ad-blocking feature in Chrome browser
Chrome has already won the war of browsers however the new ones (Brave, Vivaldi, UC) are jostling their way with inbuilt ad blockers.

Now, it might seem that Google wants to maintain an edge over these with the new ad-blocking feature but one can tell that it will only block ads outside Google network.

The way I see it as a bigger bet on cannibalizing itself because if Google does not then somebody else will.
