Yes! We, too, happily used Discord for years in our small company - it was absolutely amazing and I also wonder why they don't have a version for companies - in my mind it easily beats Teams in n…

Here's what I find most puzzling about these things: Apple does amazingly helpful WWDC sessions on how to profile and improve your code, how to prioritize performance...but when it comes to their…

I made SmoothTrack, a no-equipment head tracking app for iOS and Android which lets you control the game camera in sim games (like MSFS 2024 for example) with your head - basically like TrackIR, just …
