If that’s their strategy, why have they also shipped like three bad todo list apps?

Design museum. Warpigs. Get an ice cream cone at Torvehallerne then people watch at Israels Plads.

It’s weird that AI is terrible at writing code in my area of expertise but so good at writing code I know nothing about

I really just need this fixed so GitHub users stop reporting it to me. 😂😭

Interested to hear any other feedback (even/especially nitpicking) you have about the experience. DMs are open, I think.

It was a very fun race — bit hilly if that’s a concern — and Stockholm is great. Recommend!

Went to Stockholm, ran a marathon

Me running down the track at Stockholm Olympic Stadium. I’m wearing a black hat, sunglasses, black shorts, and a big smile. There’s a grandstand on the left of the background and a brick tower with a Swedish flag in the top-middle. Bunch of runners slower than me pictured to the right. 😏

Me holding a medal and giving a thumbs up in front of screen with my official finish time on it: 03:22:19

I think they’re trying to do objection handling to unblock feature adoption. “I don’t use Raycast notes/bookmarks/whatever because they don’t sync across devices.”

I hope they evolve quickly but expect iOS system access prevents them from having the same impact as the macOS app.

Hate to be on a flight with a number that sounds like the name of a documentary

You can do it by adding #gh-light-mode-only and #gh-dark-mode-only to the end of the file name in Markdown image tags.

Example here:
github.com/ViewComponen...
