That seems super useful, as my dock is overflowing with too many apps, which I all use, just at different times for very different scenarios... like for example when producing and working on videos I use FinalCutPro, Motion and Compressor, but these three take up space when I'm in a totally different context like coding. But I don't want to remove them from the dock when not used; because if I do, I seem to forget that I have them or would need to add them back later. So this solves that perfectly!
Exactly
I had the same problem with coding in different programming languages and with different clients.
Glad you liked it
Let me know if something is missing in the app or if there are any feature requests.
Thanks for the support
Former W.R. Grace employee: Molecular Sieve Desiccant Beads (also manufactured by W.R.Grace) are even more absorbent than regular silica gel. It's found in most double-pane windows inside the metal track between both panes; slowly absorbing any moisture over many years to keep them from fogging/going 'blind'.
You can use MS to dry flowers in record time... and use it to quickly heat up baby food in a pinch if needed... just put a smaller container of food in a bigger pod filled with MS and pour water of the MS... it's ultra-rapid absorption of water creates heat as a byproduct.
I'd just learned of (and shared a link to) a related technology, "getters", which similarly hold tight vacuums in various applications for years if necessary:
Those are used in vacuum-sealed windows and glazings (the topic of the post I was commenting to).
There are also moisture scavengers put into cooling applications (refrigerators and A/C) to remove any incidental water from refrigerant, which I suspect operate more like your MSDBs.
Getters can hold tight vacuums for several decades, even! I have many vacuum fluorescent displays from the 70s still working perfectly. As long as the getter spot is shiny and not white, it is holding vacuum fine.
Another nuisance which really gets on my nerves is when sites specifically prevent me from pasting, typically fields where you need to put a bank account or routing number. Copy and pasting that info is WAY more accurate and error-proof than glancing at one screen and re-typing it in another. I then temporarily disable Javascript in the developer menu and re-enabled it afterwards, but that still sometimes causes issues down the line, as now the site "thinks" there isn't a value in the field because they didn't notice any typing events, etc..
It's easier to ctrl-shift-c to pick the element in the inspector, then paste into the value="" HTML in the developer tools.
Also useful on treasurydirect.gov which has a ridiculous password entry field. They make an on-screen "keyboard" with a bunch of JS buttons, you have to click those buttons to enter your password. You can't type into the password field or paste into it.
When I saw that treasury login form with the onscreen keyboard you had to click, I was absolutely flabbergasted. Thankfully they've now done away with it.
usually it isn't necessary to disable all JS, but right-click and inspect will show the text input has an attribute like `onPaste="() => return false"` which can just be changed to true instead. or just remove the attribute. I'm on my phone so the syntax may be slightly wrong but that's the gist.
While I don’t agree with the implementation, I think this is usually done on forms that ask you to confirm the value a second time. The goal is not to prevent you from pasting from an accurate source; instead they are trying to prevent users from copying an incorrectly manually typed value from one field to the other. The end result just also blocks our use case…
Install Don't Fuck with Paste. Thankfully I don't have to use it that often anymore so it stays hidden in the overflow section most of the time, but it's so useful when I need it.
The original Dropbox wasn't just simple to use, it was also simple to understand: you knew what it was doing and how it worked, well enough to have correct expectations about how it would behave in circumstances like having a slow or broken internet connection. I guess they now consider those circumstances to be so exceptionally rare that they can be ignored.
This was the final straw which prompted me to move off Dropbox. Initially, dropbox was wonderful, super simple and did ONE thing amazingly well. Then... the thing morphed into a monster with all sorts of "corporate america" features which I never cared for. Fine, they need to make money, I get it. Besides storing and syncing files, the dropbox app on iOS was amazing to take quick scans of receipts on the phone and sync them to the Mac and auto-process them there (via the receipts.app; great 3rd party app). Anyway, in 2023, iCloud Drive with the native Files.app on iOS does the same thing for me. Just as good, just as reliable. For free, without the bulky corporate app stuff.
But … icloud benefits from being part of the OS. Dropbox is probably technically unable to build a service that works as smoothly as icloud. It seems unfair to ding dropbox for that situation.
Having said that, I use icloud as well, together with syncthing.
If you talk to HR employees and ask them whether they feel like an employee or rather as "the employer"... based on my own findings most will tell you that they feel like the employer; even though they're just employees too.
In the US you can start an LLC "a" and later on a Holding LLC "b" and make "b" the owner of "a", so that "b" is the parent (and holding company) of "a". It's really just about how ownership is structured, and it can be done later on.
They also support native Apple iOS push notifications (not just for new mail, but also edits/deletes IIRC), so their integration with Apple's native iOS mail app is outstanding. Been using FastMail that way for years and it's been working flawlessly. About the only time I use the Fastmail app is when I want to reply to an email sent to a catch-all address and reply from that address (haven't found a way to do that from the native Apple mail app).
This is pretty incredible. An entirely different level than the old and trusty breadboards! Love how the components just snap magnetically and load the best-matching software to support them. Looks super promising!
Congrats, looks very promising.
I find the pricing page confusing though. First, the "Startup" option is $99. $99 for what? A month? A year? The unit of time is missing.
Second, the "Set up a call" button is a turn-off. I don't want to call anyone. I want to simply sign up for the service to try it out, as frictionless as possible. Having to CALL someone in 2022 is exactly the opposite of that.
Agree, it is over-priced for simple use-cases. What would be an appropriate price for the hacker news audience? It is far easier for us to lower prices and raise them.
Well, it seems to me that you're missing out on a potential huge number of signups RIGHT NOW because of this friction. You're in the spotlight, with thousands of guys looking at your offering right now.... and you want them to CALL you? Seriously?
