Great job with this! Just gave Waywise a download and love the user interface – especially the localised language prompts. The different UK dialects are spot on and very funny. I'm heading to Spain soon so will give this a whirl, with the restaurant recommendations / translations.

Out of interest, have you had any problems with the AI hallucinating when generating new city guides?

We've been using Plausible for over four years at our startup. Always reliable, simple, and fast metrics. Open source is tricky to scale and maintain while also ensuring a consistent income. Happy to hear they're making this change to protect their brand, IP, and ensure a sustainable future for the team.

Oh nice, super helpful. For me being able to filter by countries that are part of the VAT OSS scheme, since many of us running SME’s submit the tax manually, and it’s helpful to have a SSOT for the VAT OSS rates.

To be honest I'd keep it simple and leave it as is. Just improve the landing page / chrome extension screenshots to have a more obvious value proposition / style. For me the video fails to load on your landing page.

Back in 2018, I worked on projects where we used Ant Design. At the time it was one of the best choices out there for a quick project, as it had all the standard components with a relatively good design out of the box. Since all the easter egg fiasco / css bloat I've avoided using it.

These days, there's just much better options such as shadcn/ui [1], chakra [2] or radix [3] which when paired with frameworks such as floating ui [4] are just much better.

Nice work collating all the tax data, how do you ensure that the tax data stays up to date? And is there any way you could add a filter for countries that are part of the VAT OSS scheme? As Europe doesn't necessarily mean part of VAT OSS.

This is such a good idea that's simple and well executed. The number of times, I've had to sift through YouTube videos to find the bit that's relevant... awesome work!

Have you got any further plans to improve it, or just want to keep it simple?

Lovely app Ivan, also great job with the landing page.

One minor comment, I found the nav bar too squashed up at the top on desktop, maybe increase the padding, font-size and then also the Get Started button and you might increase conversion as well! Keep it up :)

I feel like there's a huge market for this, especially as it can be used so well by consumers a fun (non) disposable camera.

Lots of my friends have started buying disposables or point and shoot cameras as an excuse to solely take pictures and not worry about how they look until after they been developed. This is perfect for that, will start recommending it!

I had some fun inputting the American Psycho transcript into this. Made a little video [1]. Insane how fast this is, great work!

Tobias here. Seems like `homebrew/cask-fonts` is the best way to go for Homebrew, but even the repo maintainers suggest that submission to Google Fonts is their desired method to be included [1]. Once / if SN Pro garners more mainstream popularity we will start supporting more methods of distribution.

You can tell apart a capital "I" from a lowercase "L". The lowercase "L" has a tail on the end. Granted the capital "I" doesn't have a crossbars, but that's usually reserved for serif fonts, not san-serif.

This looks fantastic, I've been looking for an alternative to Databox for a while and this seems to fit the bill!

Tobias from Supernotes here. Thought I'd give a brief overview.

In general, people switch to us for speed and simplicity. Supernotes is the only note-taking app out there that is based on collaborative short-form notecards rather than long-form files and folders. Notecards are themselves taggable, linkable, nestable, and shareable.

This modular approach to your knowledge is more organic, allowing you to quickly build out your thoughts and connect them together. We've got all the killer features you expect from a note-taking app, including real-time collab, offline mode, cross-platform (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, Web), etc. So give it a try if you have a moment :)

Aha that's just an inline footnote, we support both in Supernotes. So you can quickly write ^[Name of Reference] (that will auto assign it the number 1 once rendered) rather than [^1] ... [1]: Name of Reference.

Footnotes aren't part of the original Markdown specification (https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/)

Thanks. We've been dabbling with a variable version for regular and italic but it requires a bit more work. Feel free to open an issue on the Github and we'll see what we can do. Curly quotes are handled as you would expect :) ~ Tobias, Supernotes

Tobias, creator of SN Pro here. Most sans-serif fonts are not designed with Markdown in mind. The asterisks are too small and high, backticks are not noticeable, and combining different symbols such as for footnotes looks off. Here's a comparison for you between Nunito and SN Pro: https://my.supernotes.app/share/iron+junior+degree+doctor

Extending this with additional ligatures and arrows makes this typeface more ideal for reading and editing quickly.

Thank you! Took a few iterations but got there in the end ~ Tobias, Supernotes

That's often done to prevent confusion between a lowercase l and a uppercase I, and granted having both is sometimes preferable (especially with monospaced fonts). But in this case SN Pro's lowercase l has a tail to be clearly differentiable.

Although we had never designed a font before, we had extensive experience using Figma to create our app's user interface, custom icons, and svgs over the past few years. Recognizing that creating a font from scratch would be a daunting task, we opted to adapt Nunito.

To re-design and create our own stamp on the typeface, we chose Glyphs [1], a beautifully crafted and meticulously planned program. Over the course of several months, we carefully reconsidered each character, adjusting cap heights, and refining kerning (the spacing between characters).
