Yeah, canvas is still too open-ended... what we need bidirectional is notes!
The fact that I had to do a quick search to fact check your post says a lot about the state of Meta.
You can always import your note into a canvas and add stickies along the way? Kinda clunky but maybe it's good enough 😅
It was great working with you, good luck on your next thing! 🌞
Thank you, and congrats on metrics too it's looking so good 🥹
Appreciate the feedback! The option to remove the chat input has been there for a while, but we're looking to enable deeper customization soon!

Ngl, seeing my team’s work on stage at @github.com Universe makes me so happy 🥹🫰
The cat's out of the bag: GitHub's new home dashboard is on public preview. You now can see your issues, PRs and agent tasks in customizable lists right from the dashboard!

Super proud of our work here, it was a lot of fun to design and ship this with the team ⚡

Another new experiment: a clock.

A great clock because it doesn't care how you hold it. It levels itself.

A bad clock, because it breaks easily. Shake it and the hands will drop down by gravity.

The best part... you can set the time by just moving the hands and give them a little sweep.
Hell yeah we're taking it to prod! 🔥
Printing proxies is also pretty easy and legal as long as you're not selling or passing them off as official.
I'd put the bar even higher tbh -- it should run on their own baremetal

Every ai video sucks because they’re never more than their prompts, you’re like ‘yeah that’s a video of a dinosaur eating chips whilst skateboarding,” but like that’s it - you could just post your prompt and it’d be the same. But every real piece of film contains MORE than just its script

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.
Clearly needs more coffee!

5 ways to use emojis accessibly:

1. Don't use them as bullet points
2. Stick to one or two per post
3. Don’t replace words with emojis
4. Use emojis that work well on light/dark backgrounds
5. Put them at the end of sentences

The secret life of emojis
The surprising jobs they do, how to use them accessibly, and make sure they pack a punch 👊

I suppose a patreon / sponsors kind of setup feels better? Maybe it's a matter of framing more than charging or not?
It's more than fine for people to charge for their work of course, but it feels a bit sleazy when the perception of value is not there.

Especially if the cost to run the app itself is effectively zero like this example.
All understandable given how dire the political situation is, and far from me to tell what people should post, but still sucks 😕
Yeah, fully agreed 😬

In 2024 it truly felt like the level & volume of tech discourse here was on par with old Twitter, but... the US election clearly shifted things.

I have a lot of US politics muted, and it's like overnight a massive black hole took the place the tech community once was.
