Look, I finally caved. I had a networking scenario that was super easy to resolve using Tailscale that was a pain in the ass otherwise, and I finally got myself an account. It is a wonderful tool and as good as everyone said. I’m now starting the inevitable “broken-by-success” stopwatch and keep an eye out for things to switch to when that happens.
It's Friday afternoon. I have 3 weeks annual leave coming up. I've been working on something that's a massive quality of life improvement to our sales team.
what’s the name for that feeling when a SaaS product has a delayed workflow that takes such an inconsistent and unpredictable amount of time that you suspect the automation is fake and a human is behind the scenes configuring things manually
Is there an RSS reader that lets me see my friends feeds? Say I have 3 friends, I can see their feed/subs and they can see mine. Added bonus if I can star something which produces a subscribeable feed for others.
@argyleink oof. I think you can self host or he has tooted that that is a goal at least. The concept is interesting but I am only loosely following along. I want it to work.
@Kilian@andy FWIW I did not buy because of ROI. there’s no way to figure out how much time it saves. Polypane helps me find issues I wouldn’t have known about and it makes it a pleasure to do it. It also saves time on resizing the browser window…
And I just read @asmartbear ‘s post on ROI and think it would help your thinking on this https://longform.asmartbear.com/roi-selling/
An important milestone for @bookwyrm: migration across instances just shipped. Congrats and thanks to @csddumi, @tripofmice and the rest of the contributors.
This is a bit of a long shot, but if there are any #Svelte developers out there interested in mapping who would be willing to spend a bit of time helping a novice (me) out in some experiments to improve UX in web apps for sustainable transport planning, please get in touch. #GeoSpatial#DataScience
@robinlovelace I’m happy to help and liked working with leaflet and openstreetmaps data in svelte. I don’t recognize the tiles in the screenshot though. What are you working on/with and what do you want help with?
I've been seriously fed up with Google's search recently: results full of ads and/or SEO spam, to the point that it's hard to find info.
The results in kagi search are overall good (though the map is really lacking), but it's just very expensive. I'd definitely need their $10 per month plan, and I'm not sure I could justify this, given there is free (though arguably worse) competition. 🤔
I guess I could cycle through the trial by creating a new account every week (the joys of having my own domain name) but that seems a little ridiculous, too 😆
@michael I have been using it for a while and they are probably still figuring out their pricing. They have made a couple changes since I joined, both towards more searches allowed or lower cost. I like it a lot but still use Google maps.
If you haven’t adjusted your personalized results yet, start at the domain leaderboard https://kagi.com/stats?stat=leaderboard
@michael yes, the thing that feels very difficult to overcome is the reviews, which I use a lot. (And I think was bootstrapped by ripping off Yelp? Not sure if that’s what they ripped Yelp off for.)
Finally an official #Svelte image processor. https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/images
@\zerodevx/svelte-img has worked well for me but I’ve been looking forward to this one.
