The reason I like unhook is, it doesn't change or force me to learn new ways to use YouTube but just reduce it to just video viewing with no distractions and blocking all the addictive pulls.

To be specific, they had 4 staff engineers and had to fire 3 of them[1].

Any form of media isn't bad as long as it's analytical, i.e., one that forces you not just to be an observer all the time. Most content on such platforms is designed to keep your brain constantly stimulated so you never shift your attention to think. The stimulation and the dopamine hits just keep you hooked to it. They give little time for contemplation, encouraging passive consumption.

When consuming long‑form content in any format, you get bored or drift just enough to think your own thoughts as you consume. But when consuming short‑form content, you are forced not to think unless you choose to pause; if you get distracted, you might think you missed something, which you don't want to do.

Information‑dense content is not good in any way, whether academic or entertainment. It doesn't leave you with any time to think on your own, discuss with yourself or the creator, dismiss some faulty thoughts, and eventually form an opinion of your own that you want to discuss with someone, somewhere.

That being said, not everything has to be long form content. Short content can provide concise information where needed, also serve as a gateway to deeper exploration, if the viewer follows up. I am not sure how that can be encouraged as most do not choose to do, as they are drowned with it and never get time to explore deeper into topics they want to.

I am still updating it for this year, so please feel free to submit a PR or share some here.

I remember a time when people would have seedboxes for private trackers, data hoarders brag about having TBs of storage and yet only a handful of people are seeding the complete collection(s). I understand not everyone has or can seed multiple TBs of data but I was expecting there to be a lot of seeders for torrents with few hundreds of GBs.

The point is, you have defined your USP. Its cheaper Typeform alternative for SMBs, stick with it and build the product around it and meet all the basic requirements first. Do some research and find out which features a typical form builder wants or which Typeform features are most used. Have those ready and then work on the other fancy things.

And have a number in mind, after X number of clients increase your price. And seriously increase your price now.

I did not like how Remix to RR7 transition was made though, my project built using Remix was not an easy upgrade and I am rewriting a lot of it on RR7 now.

This is a third party retelling of this story from some post I read, as I came to know about it only after Dax started working on TS TUI for opencode under SST.

Not as much as you think. Learning vim translates to a lot of things. I started learning vim by using vim emulator on vscode for a week, once I was comfortable with moving around in a file I moved to using neovim, learned lua to set it up the way I wanted. Eventually ended up just using lazyvim with some custom opts, custom keybindings and plugins I like.

But the point really is, what you learn in vim can be carried to most (if not all) code editors. Most will have a way to setup custom key bindings or a vim emulator.

I say that because there are times when you need to use a code editor that most devs use (mostly vscode) to work with other devs. And for those times, I really appreciate that I can keep using vim motion and key bindings.

I think better to disable it, imo its more distracting and glitchy than being cool.

I just wanted to point out, I love my Firefox but the gradient animation is so bad on Firefox!

At first I thought oh cool bg animation, checked the dev tools to know what it is only to realize this shouldn't be a color band animation as I see it!

Chromium based browser have it so subtle, that I barely notice that animation, I question does it even exist on it(it does!)?

I also think people skipping over learning some basic CSS fundamentals also end up skipping over basic UI/UX needed for accessible websites, something every web developer should have some awareness about.

Complete reliance on CSS frameworks does not magically make the websites accessible,it gets you 90% there.

Also /blog leads of 403!? Wildcard redirects are not that difficult to setup either.

I agree that the medium through which one has pleasurable experiences is very subjective, but at the same time how much of it is consumed, absorbed and captured is what I think matters when talking about a medium being just for consumption purposes. Earlier web and social media was a lot about contributing and having a dialogue now its vastly about consumption or some form of outlet which does not encourage any traditional engagement but a passive viewing.

That being said, all these channels also have content which is good and enriching. But to reach that one has to be familiar with the platform to navigate away from the algorithm and also be looking for it. The idea that TikTok throws in only the entertaining content for selected topics at the get go says a lot of the culture its promoting and encouraging.

Most product launches from seasoned makers get a fair amount of attention anyway, isn't your mission to put focus on product no matter the maker? Not let the product get buried down because a well known maker has launched something else thats getting most of the attention?

Can someone please tell me what I fail to understand? I fail to see why such apps focus on the creator than the creation itself?
