Yeah I was also considering that...but the most recent iOS app that I worked on was actually featured by Apple a few times, so it seemed they really liked it.
I ended up creating a new account, and got verified there, but only after a few tries and calls to support. Turns out that their AI couldn't read my European (German) ID card and some human actual had to look at it and verify me manually.
Thank you! I keep stumbling upon interesting historical footage on Youtube, only to find that it's been ruined by janky AI. I do think there's a place for AI and video restauration, but colors and 4k, with soundscape, really?
This looks really nice! I loved trello and I'm always happy to see alternatives. My two cents: I use the keyboard a lot, so when I hit "enter" on a form, e.g. to create a board, it closes the popup instead of creating that board.
Yep, the "market" is littered with Trello clones. I was also a big fan - until they went downhill (basically everything post-Atlassian). What most of the clones miss, is Trello's enormous attention to details - like excellent keyboard navigation.
What I also miss, is that with Trello, a board is a board, a list is a list, and a card is a card. The builtins are simple and flexible, the add-ons are optional. Most clones try too hard to guardrail boards into a ticket tracking system. We already have Jira for that.
I really appreciate that the double-click on the icon button in the title bar of each window closes it. Such a nice detail! I got used to this once on windows 3.11 and Windows kept behaving like that through the versions, even though there's a dedicated close button on the right. I think the most recent versions of windows don't have this behavior anymore.
Glad you liked that small detail. I tried to re-create every detail I could find and which I personally use on Windows. I still sometimes discover things that I didn't know Windows could do which I am excited to add to my project.
I think nowadays it acts like clicking the maximize button rather than clicking the close button. Just as useful IMO but much safer. Apps can, of course, override the behavior though.
> We’re thinking through what’s next. I’m really interested in how we can look at all the other amazing creation and app experiences out there (I really love stuff like Val Town and Fly.io and Deno and Netlify, etc.) and bring all those together for easily making and remixing new apps. Will take a bit to figure that out.
They're shutting Gitch down. Anil's just trying to be high-minded and optimistic without saying anything specific. I'll be surprised if they do anything new with Glitch.
This absolutely is a "Our Incredible Journey" story, but just with a good migration off-ramp.
Well, it has a better migration off-ramp than most “Our Incredible Journey” stories, but they don’t even promise to keep redirects working beyond the end of next year. Fastly can absolutely afford to do better than that.
I'm similarly lost as GP, and even reading this, I feel like I'm missing something.
If HN said they're disabling new submissions and comments, that'd effectively mean they're closing the site, and would probably say that outright.
But Glitch aren't saying they are shutting down, but they're removing the feature that I thought made Glitch a thing. So nothing is left, yet they continue? Is this a 180 pivot or? Are there other features that will still be usable?
It could go the Piczo route—a website builder aimed at kids and teens, not for polished blogs or ecommerce, but more for one-off, personal and playful friend-to-friend sites.
They're still just hosting websites in that scenario, which seems to be exactly what they don't want to do. A bit like if GitHub decided they didn't want to host source code anymore.
Thanks, I had no idea, I'll check it out! We're still in the process of completing the paperwork, so it'll take a while until we have an official status.
The stack is nodejs and postgres - the most expensive part is the database actually. I could probably look into caching more of the expensive (mostly read-only) queries.
I'm one of the two developers who will help out with development and devops. There's some budget for that. So we have the skills.
