samieljabalion Ask HN: Anyone Replace Jira with GitHub Issues?

> I have ticket only repos where people can create tickets.

Nice thinking.

> We create issues from a user form too!

This is where the money's at. I'm assuming this was done via Github API + Generated Token. I was thinking of something similar to this, however using a Slackbot.

samieljabalion Ask HN: Do you still use browser bookmarks?

Same! I've found myself switching between so many computers and often wanting to share a bookmark with someone I eventually put them all on a Github Repo: https://github.com/seljabali/notes_to_self

When the app is playing audio & titles visible read:

- "unmuted" "visible"

instead of

- "mute", "hide".

Button/label showing current state of the app is better than how the state will change via the button.

samieljabalion A brief reflection on Mac software stagnation

I've recently moved away from iTerm2 to Warp (https://www.warp.dev), and there's no turning back. These guys are onto something big.

samieljabalion A brief reflection on Mac software stagnation

The sad reality is we've solved many of computation's problems, and don't have much of a utopia around as perhaps expected in solving them.

Macs in the 2000's had productivity apps that were needed, fun to discover & to try out:

* Growl for notifications

* AppFresh for automatic downloads

* Quicksilver for file/app search

All of which has been solved by the OS.

Web 2.0 solved connecting with friends and strangers around the world, as well as many other problems, by FAANG+.

Web 3.0/VR will be 2.0 on steroids, which too eventually will get boring.

As big of a nerd I am, computation I'm finding can only go so far in satisfaction, thus eventually "stagnate."
