I disagree with this line of reasoning. To the same extent, I could say that you did not make an app because you didn’t write the compiled assembly code, build the processor, make the silicone yourself, etc.

Tools are tools. Same as Photoshop, Ableton, they get you to where you want to go.

Where is the line drawn?

Fighting games are too inaccessible for me. I just want to play about game with cool characters with sick abilities beating each other up (Skullgirls, Street Fighter, Tekken) but there’s always so much mental preparation and input memorization you have to go through just to have the slightest chance at winning/having fun. The problem is multiplied by the sheer number of characters you get to play as and against in these games.

The whole genre, in some ways, has felt like some gated community to me that’s closed for anyone not willing to pour in the hours to learn.

Tally 11 months ago

A daily number-tallying puzzle game created by a friend.

I used to have goals. I’m a locally-known videogame developer. Throughout my childhood and into my 20s I thought videogames would be my ‘main thing’, but at around 25 I realized I’ve fallen out of love with the gamedev process (and no longer play games as well). This created an identity crisis, and since then I haven’t found a definite path that combines both money and passion.

Music is me trying new things. I love it, but often feel I’m not “playing my cards right” since being in school has nothing to do with software development, making money, or establishing deep, fulfilling relationships in my life (I live far away from the city I grew up in.)

All in all, it feels a lot like blind faith. It feels bad, since my peers seem to have their life paths ‘figured out’ to some extent.

Very on-point. I’ve made some friends and amazing memories there, but overall the experience was lukewarm, and sometimes bad, in terms of everything you listed (curriculum, culture, location.)

My dilemma is mind vs heart - the mind knows I can learn anywhere and it’s time to move on, and the heart doesn’t want to ‘miss out’ on the memories I could make there next year.

Great to see more headless UI libraries, and I'm even happier to see the SolidJS love.

I hate to see new companies choosing styled, opinionated UI libraries (read: MUI) for the purpose of going "fast", when in reality it ends up creating infinite tech debt and a design language that is never truly theirs.

Good job creating your own site!

From a design view-point, remember: less is more. As others here have commented, the UI has a lot of unnecessary details and effects that take away from the overall professionalism of the site.

Try focusing on the bare minimum, and go from there. For example, less animations (even though they're cool), getting rid of that white box glow, and a bigger font, can go a long way.

Remember who your target audience is, and design for the broadest group possible in that audience. Keep it simple, and intuitive, and with a hint of magic.

Good luck!

Your comment is condescending against OP's parenting style. It is difficult to control how your child perceives phones, as managing their exposure to them is impossible, especially when taking your child outside where they'll see people using them in public. They may also visit a friend whose parents let them use a phone, so again, it's an uphill battle.

Finally, actual information about what’s going down at Twitter.

And so that’s definitely a direction we’re going to go in, enabling people on Twitter to be able to send money anywhere in the world instantly and in real time.

This sounds like a great idea to me. UPI(1) has worked wonders in India, and is providing a pretty similar service.

Then you attach a debit card to the Twitter account so that you have backward compatibility into the payments system because not everyone will accept Twitter.

That makes sense, and if the UX will be similar to that of Apple Pay/Google Pay, I imagine it would actually be able to acquire new users (and not just people ready to jump into a “whole new way of paying”)

Basically, if you can show up in an office and you do not show up at the office, resignation accepted. End of story.

I hate this for obvious reasons.

It will be interesting to follow Twitter for the next year. The whole “Twitter as a Tik-Tok-like platform” idea _could_ work, if the main focus is to compete with YouTube’s creator platform. It’s a much more feasible idea than the payments one (at Twitter’s current state).
