These are amazing upgrades. Any online IDE recommendations that work well with Bun to use the new frontend server?

I appreciate it! I try to publish at least once a month but constantly feel like I should produce more 😶🌫️

I would love to remove the toolbar on the left, I’m not sure if it’s already possible. Makes the app feel cluttered & I’m constantly confused by it, because I’d expect to see Files/Bookmarks/Search there

Great piece. I used the iPad full-time as a student then designer/web dev 2018–20, before moving back to the Mac with similar feelings about it. Now I’m experiencing the same cycle with visionOS being a less-mature version of iPadOS…

Huge improvement on Hobby too! Thank you ☺️

UE Booms need to be banished. At least playing music off an iPhone doesn’t pretend the audio might sound great for a whole room

This is so much more understandable!! Excellent work

Clicking play on the YouTube/video embed focuses that frame, so if you press the right arrow key afterwards, it advances/loops the video instead of advancing the slide, which isn’t intuitive. Autoplay probably avoids it but typically I/speakers want to control when video/audio starts playing

Came here to ask for this too! Excited to see them.

It’s notable that their consumer tech/startup coverage (Apple device reviews etc) is rarely excellent or widely shared but their politics/culture scooping & op-eds on privacy etc are best in class

I’ve been using FreeTaxUSA for years! Design is not impeccable & they don’t explain every concept as much as I’d like but it gets the job done

After returning to NYC from Berlin, I was surprised how much stress I feel in my body in the U.S.—safety, busyness, how much more intense transit is, & most of all money, how I need to make more & spend more in NY. So many subtle things.

I’ve switched to ghostty.org because Warp felt so full of marketing—updates, AI, accounts, subscriptions, none of which I need. It has blessedly zero marketing

I’m back in Berlin this very week on vacation because I loved living here so much in 2023. Endlessly conflicted about how I want to live here except many complexities

I’d argue one of the best-designed pieces of Apple Intelligence is in fact the summary indicator, which clearly but concisely conveys you’re reading a summary. It’s a fantastic icon. The issue lies in the abysmal summaries

Makes sense, thanks!

Awesome!! If I’m not using any advanced features beyond turning Markdown files into HTML, are there benefits I’ll see from the v5 upgrade with Starlight?
