Surprisingly, I’ve never tried Resolve, and seeing it here, I realize I should.

I started a company https://milk.video to build a better video editing tool for the browser. Think Figma, but for video.

I feel like a lot of modern editing tools are entirely for film or social media, but the most ROI based video at companies doesn’t quite fit either. There is a middle ground between control and utility around editing things like video calls, which I feel like is much harder than it should be.

If anyone is into the video editing/media future space, I’d love to chat! I’ve definitely gone deep into the topic.

Does anyone here have good ways to monitor GCP cloud functions?

I feel the monitoring/instrumentation around errors/performance is not great, but could be.

Swiss water decaf is relatively easy to get. I've yet to see Supercritical CO2 decaf.

This is another good write up on the swiss water method: https://levels.io/swiss-water/

TLDR: Swiss Water > paint thinner

Reminds me of Rapportative back when it was a gmail extension. This was my favorite part of it.

Love this

It’s clear that the addition of money can incentivize some great community standards.

Are you focusing on any specific kinds of companies at first? Ie. IndieHackers or ProductHunt type?

Also, do you plan to run any competitions or challenges from the platform side?

Thank you for taking time to do this! All of the responses are really great.

Can you share why some companies may split stocks 51/49 between two founders, instead of 50/50?

Love it!

Okay. This is amazing.

Is it possible to fill this out via API? Also can I print it? And for my company, is it possible to turn all resumes into this format?

Huge congrats on this.

Turns your front end app multiplayer with a library.

They manage the hard part and give you a simple API to get the benefits of realtime/syncing/diffing.

+1 Roomservice.

CRDT as a service.

Very neat. Any plans for a mobile version?

The visual map of where the money came from is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

When I bought an iPad pro, I asked friends what are their favorite apps. One person religiously vouched for how much Muse has affected the way they work on a day to day. Like me, they are a artist and in the software space, and felt Muse gave them the ability to both organize things spatially, while making use of the iPad's drawing features in everything they do.

I was able to get on the beta and found it quite satisfying as an application. Its basically the missing OS for iPad to let you do everything that you imagine the iPad is supposed to let you do.

+1 for roomservice to add multiplayer to any React app with a few lines of code

Roomservice is incredible for adding multiplayer mode to any app. Very cool to see you using them.

These tools are major. The last company I was at extensively planned error budgets and SLAs, but the tooling was very squishy. Seeing the incident board and tooling around monitoring feels like they hit the nail on the head.

I don't know much about Datadog, but it seems like they are building exactly what their customers need.

I signed up. This is immediately useful and totally worth the cost. Loving the easy video captioning.

I had the same experience in Shanghai with a similar top tier agency. I was hired by a Fortune 500 apparel brand to be their digital project manager to handle the agency and Q/C deliverables.

It was 2013, but even then I was blown away by the extent to which the engineers on their end didn't use any modern version control. All of the deliverables were send over FTP updates, and zipped file directories.

It depends. The font rendering process is based around "masters" which can vary in count. One font could have one master for all the weights, or multiple masters - for the bold/normal/light. Depending on the master count, the size can differ.

The key thing also is the number of web requests. This is not a trivial detail. One variable font can be less web requests.

Apple will replace your AirPod Pros if you have this problem. You can submit the request online and they will just send you a new pair. Most likely you fall under the support warranty period, and it will be at no cost to yourself.

Font licenses are expensive. It's far cheaper to take something like Helvetica, and make slight changes to each of the glyphs, and rebrand it.

For context, I used to work on Google Fonts.

Two interesting links from the article:

2. Comparing various YOLO versions https://yolov5.com/

If you have design or product mindset, then the idea of spending a few weeks to launch products make sense.

One good reference is the "stair step" approach. You can make something that a few people will pay $50-$100/month for. Maybe like a theme or a designed landing page. Then you can ramp up to make something that does $100-$250/month. Once you have those two, then aim for something that brings in $300-$600 month.

If the 1000-1500 range seems daunting, then aim for an intentionally low, but consistent amount, then repeat.

I was surprised there was only a mention of frameworks.

One obvious shift I’ve seen is in the use of the WASM and Web GL compiled applications. The likes of Figma and Superhuman are making incredible leaps in user performance.

I suspect serious companies will make strides here.

Its great for web usage but the context matters. It's not so black or white.

The font file that displays a weight is using a "master". Often an extreme expression of a font (thin/bold) is based on a master. The in between weights (normal/medium) can be interpolated without an explicit master. So you can get now just Roboto 200, but also Roboto 220, 250, 300, 315.

When the variable font file has many masters, then it has the possibility to be bigger than having individual fonts. This is why its not so straight forward.

In the case that you have an italic font, for example, you might need a specific master for the italic and the normal size.

The cases where it is smaller to use a variable font is when you have multiple weights that can be interpolated from less masters in the font file, than you would need font files. For example, having 300, 400, 600 font weight used in a variable file could be smaller if the 300/400/600 weights are all interpolated from the 400 weight master. This way the fonts thin/bold masters could be removed from the font.

Google Fonts team does some really cool stuff around this, where they minimize the size of the file being sent down the wire based on your browsers capability.

TLDR: Variable fonts can be faster. When it is, it's a lot faster. But its not black and white, so there isn't a straight forward way to know.
