I'm building an iOS app (with plan user-base of 1) to help me structure my (I wish they were) weekly drumming sessions. My idea is to have "lessons" that have more "patterns" and I choose a lesson and practice those patterns logging the bpm's i can do (that 186bpm from your example is just wild for me). I am a beginner-intermediate so lots to learn for me. I use musical notation. If anybody interested in it let me know.
thank you
best comment this week, including the username
"EUROPA" kind of gives it away
one way to go around this is to use apps like Toshl which connect to banks (it is far from perfect but usable) and then if you are unhappy with the app you can use their API to sync with your own system
It looks like you have to do a lot of data entry when you buy things, no?
May I suggest somebody out of your company reviews the website. It is not clear to me what you do, what the apps do and so on. The copy is also kind of abstract "we make the world a better place" type of copy. From your comment I understand you do good work and would be a shame for people new to your products to struggle understanding what are you doing.
I think the conclusions and the advice for new programmers is valid. The comparison with the FSD is not very relevant in my opinion but it may be, I just don't see it, as it is a very different kind of skill. I would separate the preference from the "objective truth" and your goals. I think as a technologist you need to keep using AI if not for any other reason then only to keep up with the progress of the technology and have a first hand experience. For projects that I mainly do to learn, I disable autocompletion (Cursor) and type every single character by hand. For some other projects where I am more interested in the end result I am allowing autocompletion and most of the time I read and make sure I understand the generated code.
I wonder how much "well written" is a matter of taste (I thought it wasn't that much). I found "We Are Legion" very poorly written although I loved the premise and really wanted to read it but couldn't go any further then maybe a quarter of it. It also happened to me with Murakami's Kafka On The Shore but I blame that on the translation or some cultural impedance mismatch.
I am really impressed by the podcast it generates and I hope they will introduce other voices/styles because this style can be too much for some people (including me). Not so impressed about the chat experience though. Sometimes it sounds the bot is annoyed at my questions :) Which is a refreshing change from the pathological politeness of ChatGPT.
I am working on an app like that. Far from being complete, at this point is syncing with live data from the banks (well, almost live, a few hours behind). My idea is to have the app do as much as possible for you and just tell you how you're doing: if you're saving enough, if you're spending more than usual on something, show you charts, project future savings at the current rate of saving accounting for interest/capital-gains etc. The app would incorporate sound financial planning principles (prioritise paying dept, invest some of the money, live below your means, etc). I'd love to hear from people who would be interested in this.
I found the original RevenueCat report, which this article is based on, to be more informative. My main complaint is the clumping of 'EMEA', which is economically diverse (I'm not sure why Japan and South Korea were given their own spots in the chart). Still, it was informative.
Is there a significant advantage for capturing using DSLRs vs using the phone camera of a decent phone?
Got it. Makes sense. Gonna try this although another thing we were planning to solve was balancing the chores between us to fix the paradox where both of us think they do more than the other. So this would be an iPad fixed on a wall or in a very visible position?
Honest question: I was looking at Wednesday and it said: Cook dinner, Dishes, Trash out. What is the usefulness of tracking this in the app since just entering the kitchen gives you instant status to each of them?
