I’ve noticed a lot of changes on the site recently, which I believe is powered by Ghost which makes messing around with feed links a more advanced (for lack of a better word) tweak than many platforms as you download/upload a routes file. I’m a 10+ year developer and have found myself chasing route changes in Ghost with trial and error.

I thought the two sounded similar, then I saw at the bottom they both have come from the same two founders. Nice to have a straightforward alternative to NextDNS to recommend to relatives.

That was my sense too. Used it for a few similar programs today (like converting HTML to Markdown but parsing certain <figure> elements to shortcodes) and scaffolding a Rust web app.

It's done a reasonable job — but rips through credit, often changing its mind. Even strong-arming it into choosing an approach, it wanted to flip-flop between using regex and lol_html to parse the HTML whenever it came across a difficulty.

If you're a US developer on whatever multiple of $ to the £ that I earn it might make sense, but burning through $100p/h for a pair programmer is a bit rich for my blood.

I salute the developer for taking on such a mammoth challenge as (re)building a RAW editor. Sounds like he has the chops for it though!

Sitting on the other of the table (professional developer turned professional photographer) I wish someone like Blackmagic would disrupt the big players (Capture One and Photoshop in the stills space) because Resolve looks (and is!) so much more sophisticated with a much healthier attitude towards its users/customers.
