Whoever said there was a universal recipe for Elaichi Chai? It makes sense that there would be different recipes. If you are more stringent with the prompt and give it the proper context of what you want the steps to be, you'll arrive at that consistency.

The pitch alone on PayloadCMS shows that this is still a developer-focused CMS. Just look at the difference between the github page, the Payload website, and wordpress.org's landing. This is not purely a marketing difference but a strategic conversation.

I'm all about transitioning CMSes and yet WordPress has got the turnkey part of their open-source platform clear and easy to understand. You can self-host or choose a provider. Payload doesn't make that clear, it's either too dev-centric for running or wants you to "Schedule a Demo" (which is a way to capture enterprise dollars).

What about more consumer-friendly pitches and deployments? Any recommendations on that?

I rarely comment on HN but I needed to login and say THANK YOU for this walkthrough of Stage Manager. I didn't even know I could bring in other windows, remove it use Maximize, and more. Just wanted to share my appreciation.

What's this trend of websites making it hard to find screenshots of their app off the bat? Should I really have to sign up just to see how your interface functions/flows?

Also, the link to view the main site is tiny and easily forgettable. I think the site could benefit from a stronger CTA that directs you to what I should do.

"please don't post it on HN and waste everyone elses time."

I didn't know you policed HN and determined what was a waste of time. Last I recall, Upvoting's purpose was that. Your arrogance is a detractor for others to grow and clearly you invested so much time to critique that you wasted your own time on something you didn't care about?

Kudos to you OP, you made something interesting and worth sharing. You've got this guy's attention. Please don't let other detractors mute your hacking.

a.k.a. they made mistakes and then remedied the problem quickly without much controversy. Sounds like the opposite of another trading firm that just collapsed.

These sound like mistakes that many beginner companies can easily make when trying to craft them. Why is there a demand for perfection out of the gate? And why are offers to remedy the situation not given the same kudos?

Hah, I can barely get clients to pay $50/hr an hour for Graphic Design and Web Design work let alone $100/hr. These formula conversions baffle me as well.
