In my experience some teams move a lot faster than others and that leads to asymmetric quality. If all devs could pick up a new language and skillset overnigh then companies would have a lot more flexibility in their roadmaps, but humans don't scale that way - with or without AI.
> These performance gains are made possible by harness improvements and progress we’ve made training Composer 2.5, which now powers Bugbot. Our model training work is one part of how we will continue to improve Bugbot over time.
No only were there UI inconsistencies, but Safari lags behind chrome with things like the Popover API and the build/codesign/CD ecosystem for Tauri is incredibly scattered.
When I was using it, IAPs were still not really an option for Tauri or at least I could not find any docs or resources about it.
The website uses the default themes for the app which I picked specifically to be easy to look at (I have it open all day).
According to WebAIM[0] it passes so feel free to rip the theme [1] and use it for your next project!

Im pretty happy with it currently, but want to fix a small annoyance where columns can "hijack" horizontal scrolling.
I learned SO MUCH about CSS tools of old and new doing this project. The popover API and anchor positioning in particular was a bit of a beast, as were overflows and scroll areas.
Most of my background has been in native or react-native mobile development where these kinds of issues don't really exist in the same way.
Going back to basics with html + css was humbling and taught me a lot, too.
I got to dust off some old UX skills that haven't been used in a few years.
Huge shoutout to DaisyUI [0] and tailwind for making it really easy to build pretty things.
Also setting the journal prompts to black would be wonderful - they are hard to see unlike the articles.
I think this version of the internet exists today, it just isn't built in to Google anymore.
Its chromium under the hood but the UX and sync story is impeccable.

Every codebase is unique, but I would (and have) recommended this stack to multiple teams as it served us really well.
We onboarded 3 React devs - 2 of which had never used RN before and all 3 were pushing out features within a two week sprint.
We also got to scan a QR code from a GitHub PR and allowed other engineers, QA folk, and designers to test PRs before merging on a real physical device - I am not sure if Flutter has something similar, but the tooling around RN is amazing.
Also, LogRocket, Sentry, LaunchDarkly, Auth0 and most of the SaaS tools youre familiar with in React have solid ReactNative support - often times including web if you use RNW.
Sorry if this is a silly question, but how does this differ from a tool like LogRocket?
Calendly only works with Google and Microsoft - no planned support for any Caldav services like fastmail.
Fantastical makes a great calendar app with rock-solid support for virtually any calendar service. I hope this pushes Calendly to reconsider caldav support.
I should note Harmonizely has tried to step into this niche and may be very successful but I found the app to not have a stellar UX and a lot of calendar invites never made their way back to my inbox which completely defeats a calendar scheduling app in the first place.
When you get stuck on a strange bug or find something in the docs doesn't work as expected your only options are Discord and GH issues. Neither feels appropriate as GH issues are slow and you get lost in the noise and Discord is a sea of noise that you're never sure if anyone with serious answers may be able to help you.
We've built amazing things with Expo (now that you can run almost any native code you want in an Expo app) but support would be an easy purchase.
Ironically, this website made me want to go find a cheap/used DSLR because the quality is so much better.
I personally use Camo with my iPhone which does almost all of these things and uses the computer in my pocket. Would love to see a comparison with that as I think its reasonable to assume someone willing to drop $300 on a webcam has overlap with someone willing to pay a monthly fee to use their phone as one.
I guess i've hit my limit of free Meduim articles and i have to pay to see this now. I'm a little concerned, I wonder how many people don't realize all their content is now behind a paywall.
Im a Firefox guy mostly on principal, but if you had a solid free trial on this I would give it a go.
Best of luck to you, remember you don't need to do something totally new to do it in a way that makes peoples lives better.
I'd consider dropping the prices a bit, $9/mo seems more reasonable to me than $15 but as you add features im sure that will change.
Now you can have an offline tool you pay for once or pay monthly to get all the bells and whistles figma has.
To me it feels like a win-win - I don't personally want a sub but my company will. They moved from Sketch to figma for those features and dont mind monthly fees. Personally, I dont use it often enough to justify a monthly fee so im glad the copy i bought a few years ago still works just fine.
If you use a tool like Figma and you DON'T want the cloud features you have to pay a sub for ever.
If you have 100s of sketch files they work forever without needing to pay any continued fees.
I have sketch files from 5+ years ago i can still open with my copy of Sketch but with Figma, having over 2(?) files in a "project" requires a subscription.
I like that they give you options and you can find the one that works for you. Running collaborative cloud features isnt free for them, so i understand paying for it.
I DO NOT understand paying a monthly fee for a tool that never uses "the cloud" and i wish more tools had this kind of model.
If your scrum is about tickets and not about people, I think you're missing the point of "keeping the team in sync".
