simplion What are the best online articles you’ve read

Every time climate change manifests itself in yet another hottest year in a row, or "once in a thousand year" floods, I think about this article. Note we are at 1 degree now, not 0.8.

simplion Ask HN: Are people in tech inside an AI echo chamber?

Increased efficiency doesn't translate to increased time off, just increased expectations from our bosses :)

Not to be too negative, but I'm not sure how this got 7 upvotes in 7 minutes unless Hacker News saw the title and got excited. I read through the blog post and am unconvinced. Venture capital isn't killed because AI reduces costs of certain tasks. The same laws of capitalism exist. This reminds me of the wild "Bitcoin will ..." articles we used to get that never panned out.

simplion Ask HN: Do you want what I'm making?

Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely going to play around with Anima.

Pixel perfect is definitely necessary, and something I can achieve reliably since I'm building the tool from the ground up, not as a plugin on an existing software.

I've experimented with it! Framer is a site builder, users build and host complete web pages that exist in their system. This is great for landing pages, but in the words of their own website: 'If you are looking to build a "real app" that creates, updates and lists dynamic data, a simple React application might be a better option for you'[0].

My tool is for designing for "real apps". Designs are exported as components. They can be used in your own codebase as you see fit. For example, a designer for a flight booking website creates a new ticket design. The component is imported and the booking state data is passed to it: <DesignedTicket name={bookingName} departure={departureCode} arrival="LAX" />
