Absolutely. Our smallish company has used Discord all year long for our company communication and I could hardly be happier. They have an excellent bot API, a super clean yet playful interface, instan…

Well-written piece on what all signs seem to be pointing to as a truly historic move by Apple. Key quote for me: "The logic behind Apple’s transition [from PowerPC] to Intel boiled down to an old…

Very, VERY cool - this reminds me of an app I made (primarily for myself) years ago called Mindscope https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mindscope-thought-organizer/id... (bu…

Posted this quite a while back and thought I'd try again since I've added Android and non-TrueDepth iOS support. Happy to answer any questions - here are a few typical ones: "How does i…

The article could do without the emotionally manipulative headline (the newer one seems a bit better: "Widow fights Apple, privacy law in honouring husband's dying wish"). But it really…

I too have the Quest 1, absolutely love it, and would have immediately purchased the Quest 2 if FB had not gone back on their explicit promise to never require an FB account. Someone PLEASE make a pri…

Just to say out of the 10 or so that I read, at least 7 were really clever, great food for thought. Bookmarked! Thanks for sharing this.

Wow, it nailed it for me, this is wild. How in the world does this work so well? Is this based on some kind of research re: personality & vocabulary or something?

Just to chime in here to agree - the first five work sessions I used Brain.fm I kept thinking "I really do feel more focused, I wonder if this is a placebo. Maybe it's a placebo." At th…

Given that the App Store search has one of the worst search algorithms in a major search engine that I know of, I am not holding my breath for an Apple search product...on their hand, when Apple does …

This is nearly exactly my dream rewrite of my iOS app Mindscope http://www.mindscopeapp.com/ that I never quite got around to doing. Love this. Congrats! Mindscope always was text (an…

Thanks! For me, and this surprised me a bit, the most frustrating parts actually weren’t any of the APIs but just plain old network headaches - it took me a bit to figure out the UDP protocol OpenTrac…

This has been a fun project - moving the camera around in games like Flight Simulator simply by slightly moving your head is really immersive. Not quite VR, but good enough! Happy to answer any questi…

This is not surprising to me, and I have to say, I completely agree with it. Epic publicly and blatantly bypassed multiple App Store restrictions with their move today. Surely they were expecting this…

My money is on Apple cracking down hard on this. It looks clearly as if Epic remotely activated this direct payment option, thereby bypassing Apple's App Review. Apple will not take kindly to thi…

"Take a competitor product, remove all features you don’t need, and make it crazy fast." Seems to me there are hundreds of lifestyle businesses just waiting to happen by following this formu…

I think it means - just as closing your eyes doesn't mean the room becomes empty, wiring the learning network randomly doesn't mean you'll end up with no pre-conceptions (e.g. the rul…
