Cool list, I didn't know about OmniTools I may give that a try.

+1 for Jellyfin too as I use it currently to host my music library and so far so good.

Plex keeps changing their UI (for the worse) so I may need to leverage something else in the future but because the app is available on most of my smart TVs I haven't swapped it out yet

hate to tag along on this take but i agree

"...browser automation framework..." was about all i understood

and even then it had me guessing if it was talking about an alternative e2e testing framework like cypress, selenium, playwright.....and somehow I was right lmao (i think?)

but literally all the other jargon there had me stumped. I'm still afraid to google

  a getParameter(0x9245) probe
Likewise, the text does come across to me as LLM heavy (with a spice of pizzazz), but even as a dev who uses playwright I doubt I would change after seeing this.

To OP: not convincing enough.

Maybe this is targeted towards super users who are deep in the weeds of various browser automation framework internals.

A better marketing approach towards someone like me who just uses this to test my apps e2e and be done with it, would be to have simple cliches like:

  "10x faster than playwright", 
  
  "Same API", 
  
  "Did we mention....SUPER FAST!?"
I might call bs on that, but I'd be more likely to try it out.

Kudos to lawyers, however markdown and libre office have allowed me to avoid ms word for many years now. Mostly markdown.

Excel however, I might agree with you in general terms as the title suggests

Literally doing this now.

I have a basic music player web app that can run decent on the cheapest android phones. It's buggy but has been pretty solid on my 3k$ pc (lmao).

Yesterday it was so sluggish I had to disable every other app on Windows AND restart AND disable my network (bcus who knows wtf windows is doing in the background). It ran fine (normal) after that.

Windows is so unbearable, my Mac and Linux (former ms) laptop from 6+ years ago operate better than this pc it's driving me up a wall.

MS is literally stealing my pc specs, they don't know wtf they're doing

I just gave it a quick search (using the placeholder suggestions) and personally it is too "clicky" and "type-y" for me.

Not hating on the AI aspect, more so on the UX.

I would just rather scroll and search on spotify.

For example, even after searching and seeing the results, at the bottom it says: "Not quite right? Try adding more specific details like "slower tempo" or "more bass"."

Instead of asking users to go back and add text to the search, you could include "slower tempo" & "more bass" as buttons or checkboxes to make it easier on me and users alike. Less navigation, less keyboard work, faster results.

Not sure if this is production ready as the links to pricing doesn't lead me anywhere...nor the features or artists links...

I feel you,

one thing that has helped me has been to become less of a lurker in forums/social media spaces where they discuss topics on things i ACTUALLY enjoy.

seems obvious yet I've found to be the answer to "doom scrolling". When you doom scroll, you're looking for something to peak your interest but find nothing...

The crazy thing is, you ALREADY know what you like!

Music? Try to Engage with your favorite artists, musicians, fan clubs, album reviews, listening parties (bandcamp.com)....

Space photos? Look to forums, telescope videos, equipment youtube channels, star parties (irl)

Welding? Conspiracy theories? ...whatever interests you I guarantee there is more niche content out there than you could ever possibly scroll. More than you could ever connect with. But you must connect. (And if you do ever find the end, you can always be the fire starter for newer content!)

But you are correct, times are bleak and possibly getting bleaker. And that makes the algorithm happy.

That's why connection (as you said) is more important now than ever. So find a place you can connect

(HN is just ONE of the many places I do - random username and everything ;) )

yea they note nothing can be verified visually but one option is to verify the part/mfg #,

“For most of these products, they are sold with part numbers that show an equivalency to a manufacturer’s part number."

Doubt i'd do that, would probably just source from name brands.

Very cool, I've been in need of something like this even though I only have a few RLS polices (better start now then later right)

Kudos

Edit: does this also allow checking for the storage (buckets) RLS as well or just the DB tables? Thx

"The compute we are wasting is at least 10x cheaper, but we have automation to waste it at scale now."

So much this. keep it simple, stupid (muah)
