I use bing in my app for image search, anyone have some alternatives they’d recommend? (I tried unsplash but their dev approval process just never worked for me and I couldn’t get to a human)

I agree but I also wonder how much of this is a failing or ceiling of capitalism? Where things can never be complete or perfected, where we have to invent new problems to sell new crap?

Thanks!

I wrote a blog post about this very topic, including how I balance user needs with my own aspirations

Hi creator of kinopio here, I tried Evryca out and I like what you’re making, and I think your roadmap makes sense - keep up the great work :)

I released an update that allows you to turns off sticky card animations for new users, and after 20 cards are created, 'unlock's the feature and allows you to turn it off if you'd like.

I enjoy that everyone who ported Neko, went on to have an illustrious career

Released an update that only fades out the header/footer when pinch zooming, so it stays visible when swipe scrolling.

Also while fading during a slow pinch, it will no longer fade back in until after your fingers have left the screen.

It’s not perfect still, but much improved imo - thanks for your feedback

i would like to have the header/footer fixed in position but safari ios doesn't accurately send position information during swipe scrolling that would let me keep it fixed without jittering. (Because the app is designed to be pinch scrolled and maintain the header, I can't just use regular css position:fixed)

it's hard to tell whether the animations are functioning as designed for you, it's possible they're bugging out/skipping frames on your device. If you're able to email me a screencast (hi@kinopio.club, or post on the forums at club.kinopio.club) that'd be super useful for tweaking things

Ahh that makes sense, android has some known issues that I want to resolve this month so I’ll add these to the list - thanks!

(tracking in https://club.kinopio.club/t/bugs-on-android/346/13)

The header and footer, including the logo hide on mobile during scroll because mobile safari doesn’t send enough info to position them accurately during flicks. Are you seeing flickering on iOS or android?

Ah ic, are they jittery in the sense that they’re skipping/dropping frames or moving unexpectedly fast?

Are you referring to focusing/blurring on a textarea/input? (Eg when clicking a card and then it’s text?)

Which animations? I def would want to fix/tweak that

pleasant/enjoyable to use was my interpretation, which I think is a sufficiently high bar that few websites (and native apps for that matter) meet

relevant but also self-promo:

I build https://kinopio.club a spatial thinking tool that's also (I hope) a good website. I'm only one person without the resources to build separate ios/android apps so the website needs to work everywhere and be fast and responsive

This post is by Jeff Johnson. I submitted it to hn because I thought it was a really nuanced take, and because I thought his conclusion that not all programming languages need to be for all skill levels makes a lot of sense

It’s mainly for dev rebuild performance. I also use vite and it’s a pretty nice build tool that’s relatively easy to configure and quite fast.

It might also affect your production build times, but prod builds are far less frequent and performance isn’t important here

> Money that could instead be spent money building more schools and paying teachers more.

I get the logic but irl that sounds like a false equivalency to me,

We don’t spend money on ornamentation/whimsy *and* we also don’t spend money on more schools, etc. we simply spend less and get less - but this approach is more palatable in most large organizations/modern-societies with weak leadership/vison.

(Kind of like the old adage that nobody got fired for buying IBM)

Oftentimes constraints are a feature. What was the title of the paper and what did you winnow it down to? If the latter is clearer, then maybe the constraint does more good than bad

A counter example from societies and software that seems to grow and scale well are biological systems like tissues.

Maybe we could design better software and better teams using patterns from biology instead of the romans of old.

A private beta is not what I’d consider a shipping product, but you may have a different definition of that

I'm sure it exists in some form, but it's not currently a shipping product

I would love to proven wrong but I’m skeptical that a company started 2 years ago with $18 million of Series A VC funding to repay and no shipping product is going to be able to optimize for anything but growth and getting acquired

Hey just an update , tomorrow I’ll be lowering the price to $6/mo, 60$/yr

Shift drag gets you a traditional selection rect

I'd like to, but so far I've only dipped into contracting to help me make the halloween frame

there's some great ones in Explore, like https://kinopio.club/what-s-inspiring-you-today-may-9-15-202...

Here's one of mine that I use for storing quotes I like https://kinopio.club/quotebook-gMHTM2uFIrckS4lsszQpU

that's bespoke, I use canvas for the painting action that allows bulk select
