Is importing one's listening history and liked songs from Spotify in the plans?
Setting priorities is hard and developers want to try new shiny stuff for fun and also to feel up-to-date.
It usually goes like this, some developers pitch framework X, promising to improve metric Y. In the process many parts of the system change, making it incredibly hard to validate the improvement on metric Y. There's also lack of incentives to validate tech choices. On the other hand being familiar with many frameworks makes some devs feel more senior compared to their colleagues or competition.
Backend development suffers from this as well, you'll be surprised to learn how many nano-scale companies, employing a handful of developers practice buzzword-driven development, with a stack consisting of microservices, Kafka, NoSQL, lambdas.
What can we do to improve financial literacy so that nobody ever takes investing advice from a bus ad?
I wanted to be able to use Signal to replace whatsapp, telegram and FB messenger. I've convinced some of my friends to install it, but none of them are happy with it.
On both mobile and desktop sometimes messages take hours to appear and on mobile it reserves ~2GB of storage for no apparent reason.
I trust that people behind Signal are brilliant got the security right, but the UX is simply not there yet.

My only wish would be to be able to import my bookmarks somehow. A few months back wrote my one CLI bookmark manager in Elixir (https://github.com/tefter/cli). It's impressive how much nb achieves yet being written in Bash.
You can tell it's not cultural by the way Greeks abroad are not known for "gaming the system".

I'll give bakeware a go and probably update the post with the results.
So, with our /go command in the browser extension, all the golinks are listed and the user can use the autocomplete to find they one they need.
The teams one, we are about to launch, hopefully people won't find it expensive, given that golinks for example, charges $3.99 per user per month.

We charge 39$/month flat, no limitations on the number of users, links, lists.
The domain of bookmarking is definitely crowded, but we're focusing providing a solution where you forget you're dealing with bookmarks. With our browser extension, you can quickly jump between tabs, search you history and bookmarks either personal or your team's. There's also support for golinks style shortcuts, full-text search, a Slack app and even a cli app written in Elixir!
I don't care that it's not the most efficient framework or not suited for industrial stuff, it does drive my creativity and brings me joy.
I wanted something which would let me quickly query open tabs, search my history and bookmarks and all without touching the mouse. So I released an extension which does exactly that[0] and here's a screenshot[1].
Surfing the web can me more intuitive. Chrome's upcoming tab grouping feature shifts the burden completely to the user and doesn't necessarily save the user any clicks.
It looks like the Chrome designers went for a quick win, letting the user nest tabs, so that they will no longer complain about the browser being unusable after 30 tabs or so. I think they're missing the job to be done.
