> Are there any limitations compared to a native app? Probably only minor ones; three come to mind: - The web app has to be loaded every time (~700K total right now), whereas the native app works o…

I’m wondering whether anything could be done in terms of name/“tagline” to clarify this? (Or maybe this is just a peculiar niche?)

I’m still using [x]it! every day for tracking daily todos or various check lists (e.g. tracking payments or packing lists) – same for klog, by the way, which I use for time tracking. I consider the [x…

> For the first time in a decade or so you can buy a PHYSICAL key and use it to sign into websites. I can explain this to any grandma out there. What would you answer if grandma asked you what happ…

I think there is a difference between “nitpicking” and “discussing” details. I personally do not see any nitpicking in OP’s comment, I rather see it as valuable and well-presented contribution to the …

README on Github says “pi.dev domain graciously donated by exe.dev” (though that doesn’t say anything about the original price of course).

The post says their web frontend was public.

This is the portfolio website of an event agency, not the Gmail website.

> in general people would like their IDE to run language servers, set up build systems, and any number of other things That I understand, I’m mainly wondering why all that would have to happen auto…

Not a VSCode user, so a genuine question: what are practical use-cases in which you want VSCode to automatically execute a task only by opening a folder? Is it only for convenience so it already `npm …

The submission’s map includes the affected area of the power outage, so that info is already public, isn’t it? https://openinframap.org/#12.98/52.43214/13.26948 …

> The area to the east of the power station s/east/west/ (I.e., the area left of the power station.)

I find the “no light” bit in the subtitle confusing, as the article says he had “a torch as his only light source”. I get that a torch is not much light, but it’s still significantly different from “n…

This limitation comes with more interesting implications: e.g., I noticed that some bike trips are noticeably slower than average. For those I’d assume that the rider either took a detour or made a st…

Not sure what you are insinuating, but 30–45 minutes per month to stay on top on your finances doesn’t sound particularly crazy to me.

> piracy is often the only option to ”own” any media at all. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something here, but I find that nowadays the process of buying high-quality, DRM-free MP3 music is as simple …

On macOS, I find “3 finger drag” very convenient to use, and for me it works a lot better than “press and hold”. ( https://support.apple.com/en-us/102341 ) It even allows you to br…

I think you should better post this separately, e.g. as “Show HN”. It’s off-topic for this thread (hence, I assume, the downvotes).

Not OP, but it looks like the wording of their downloads page ( https://videohubapp.com/en/download/ ) is slightly confusing: - Clicking “Demo” (for macOS) points to the 3.2.0…

> I have yet to see any solid, significant evidence that passkeys are materially more secure than a random 32-character password + TOTP 2FA. I think the main selling point of passkeys is their abil…

This looks like an interesting concept! > I find that the drag and drop experience can quickly become a nightmare, especially on mobile. To me, drag and drop is only a nightmare on mobile. On des…

> You will not think about liquid glass after a day, especially if you turn on the new options. I wouldn’t say so. The “Increase Contrast” and “Show Borders” accessibility options make liquid glass…

It seems OP bought the gift card themselves as a means to top up their account balance ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46252989 ). They basically used the gift card as an alterna…
