it's already happening, I believe. I think of it in two ways:

the optimistic one is that more people can build something of their own and some of them will get properly interested in how technology works.

the pessimistic one is that a lot of bad products come out, bad user experience, security and privacy are forgotten, and people can't really tell the difference between a good product and slop.

but maybe over time (after a lot of bad stuff happened) people will be able to tell the difference. it will take some time

This is a page I keep going back to every now and then. My kids love it. I don't know how popular it is, do you remember it?

I've also always had the feeling my browser setup is what's causing it. I don't think Brave is a "weird" browser, but its privacy oriented features is what Cloudflare challenges and CAPTCHA unfortunately don't play well with.

I've been a long-time user of Bear and I remember when they first launched. I think it's one of those apps that made history for its clean UI and macOS-like experience.

Lately I've been trying some of the markdown file-based editors, mostly to be able to view and edit documentation written by LLMs while working on projects.

I've tried a few. Obsidian, Cogito (in beta) and ZenNote, which I see no one mentioned. For now I settled with ZenNotes because it came with vim motions out of the box. But I'm also liking the Cogito approach, with a much cleaner UI.

Because I guess icons are overrated? Plus, probably showing "Reader available" as an animated text that stays on screen 2 seconds is not that useful for blind or low-vision people…

Not the first time I hear about this kind of delay. It feels a bit like being held hostage :/ Distributing outside of the App Store definitely has its pros

This unlocked the memory of when I first used vimtutor and discovered the beautiful world of vim, that was also a great resource

Love the idea of the vibration sound effect as a ringtone! I might add it actually, great suggestion :)

Adding the ringtone on iOS is a pain in the ass, I was thinking to add a step by step guide right on the website... Apple provides a guide in their support articles (https://support.apple.com/en-us/120692), it's not difficult but I don't understand the reason honestly. It should be simple with a .m4a file from the Music app, but you need the computer

Oh that's interesting! Maybe Garage Band automatically applies some kind of compressor to the exported sound?

Anyways happy to know it fixed itself :D

Yeah, old style ringers were the best. Simple and straight to the point, then at some point in history it started to go crazy.

Maybe this one :) https://www.soundboard.com/sb/sound/258364

I agree that for example when the phone is on a table or on a hard surface vibration can get really loud. Having it on your wrist it makes perfect sense

Then I definitely need to fix it, it shouldn't distort of course. I'll have a look tonight and see if I can fix it :) Thanks for the feedback!

Happy to see other people find it useful! I wasn't really foreseeing any updates, but interested to know if you have any ideas to expand the project

Not here to judge anyone... but this might be too much for me :P

That makes a lot of sense. 101 for example will hardly be heard in a crowded place.

I think these ringtones (especially 101 and 102) are more for people who almost always have their phone on silent and when they decide to turn on their ringtone they still want something very subtle

Mmm, I thought I fixed that! I should probably try them on a few different phones with different speakers. Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to fix them and will let you know

Glad you like them! Keeping it simple was the goal. Indeed I stopped at 4 variants, and they already feel like too many :D

Then you fall into the trap of making them a bit more original, and then a bit more, and then a bit more. But that would defeat the initial purpose of the project.

Hahaha, I'm interested in the project with the cows, did you manage to train them? Anyways yes, the 90s style classic phone ringtone is an all time classic and used it for many years as a ringtone

Haha, I respect the full-time vibrate lifestyle :) But yeah, that was exactly my purpose: a ringtone a that is just a little bit more than having vibrate mode on
