Care to elaborate?

Haha yep, first thing I thought of as well.

Apologies to parent. This reply was intended for a separate thread.

Funny. My read on that language was this person has absolutely no idea what a truly robust and scalable design system and component library actually are, particularly within the scope of a successful business. Well built ones serve every facet of the organization, not just the product.

I was surprised to learn about credit card automatic updater services, which ”conveniently” don’t allow a card to expire with merchants.

I ran into this issue before when building a magic link system. Seems Microsoft visits the link to check for risks, which in turn nullifies that link before it hits your inbox. Fun times.

Qualitative research is finicky like that. What I’ve seen happen more often is a user is frustrated yet professional enough in some moment to actually provide useful feedback, but they bail when the survey has one too many questions. UXR teams like to organize questions and answers into nice little spreadsheets that ladder back to KPIs, but that’s not how an emotional person with honest criticism wants to share it. So they bail and you lose that moment. I like to do stars or thumb up/down as a pulse check, then a textbox to spill your guts. More work for me, but useful results more often.

It’s called user research

I believe WordPress choosing React as its frontend framework of choice further solidified this point.

No SSL certificate on the site, so here's the GitHub repo: https://github.com/norbertrostaing/BlinderKitten/

Seconding this. I use Brave strictly as my YouTube viewer.

Congrats on the launch, it’s hard work getting to this point. But as others have pointed out, this feels like a solution in search of a problem. The value props just aren’t there to start recommending this service to my family and friends, when more mature and trusted solutions already exist.

Brave browser blocks YouTube ads out-the-box with no additional extensions or configuring. I use Brave explicitly for YouTube.

I think they were trying to convey the idea that not all very qualified candidates would even consider a contract-to-hire option. I know I wouldn't. That’s an unnecessary risk for me to take.

Have you heard about Pluto yet? My very eager mother just served us nachos.

We bought one a few weeks ago and have been assembling and painting on weekends. Fun little project and looking forward to installing it. There are a few in the greater neighborhood already and they get a lot of use.

Oh right, good point. The repo had to be public until very recently.

I have to agree with parent. I've had a custom domain without Jekyll on GitHub pages for well over 5 years now, and it's been free the entire time.

I’m curious of the legalities of price testing. VWO suggests [0] never offering the “exact same product” at a different price for legal reasons. Your service doesn’t appear to change plan benefits or names, only prices.

I suggest an Evoluent[0] mouse if you’ve never tried one. I use the Vertical Mouse 4 wired edition.

Avid Windows user here. I had to explain myself so many times to coworkers that I wrote this list [0] to point out differences that users may not be aware of. This list is 4 years old a this point, so a few of the items are no longer true, but overall it still holds water.

I've been forced to use Mac for work for several years now, and I still feel jailed in my productivity compared to Windows. The biggest, most crucial difference that Mac users don't seem to know they're missing is how every single Windows dialog box acts like a complete version of Windows Explorer. The Mac's save and open dialog boxes are absolutely infuriating. Also, why can't I just create a markdown file in a folder, double click it so it opens in vscode, then start typing? Window management on Mac is nonexistent, how come window snapping isn't a native feature? Mission Control is like playing hide-and-seek, not managing windows.

I’ve been using 2 hidden features in Chrome and Edge called Tab Groups and Minimize Tab Groups, which let you assign a bunch of tabs to a group and minimize them down to a size the length of text that you named that group. Color coding too. Game changer.

You can enable them in the chrome://flags and edge://flags.

You can now disable this at the account level. They added the option a few months back.

That’s odd. I’m using an ad blocker and a PiHole, and the site loads fine for me. Ad block detection is hard, I guess.

On Windows, I was able to get gamepad mapping to work via JoyToKey[0].

Yes, there are 4 controller input options (for the NES one, at least).

There is a decent-sized subreddit called Keming[0], if anyone's interested.

I found their NES version[0] just the other day, tried it with a friend, and there was a consistent 0.5-1s delay with button inputs. We both tried hosting, but had same issue and couldn't play. I have to imagine that PS1 emulation would be worse?

But as far as UX, it was incredibly easy get us both into a 2 player game, complete with chat, voice, and video feeds. Their buttons are mapped to keyboard inputs, so Windows users can get a gamepad working with a program like JoyToKey[1].

Also in Marketing here, and I enjoyed the article as well for similar reasons. Plus it’s interesting to get insider honesty about the coupon’s brand awareness vs profits dilemma.
