Not use your app state as a data cache

I have a recurring daily task of closing all browser tabs and a weekly task of rebooting my Mac.

Tracking this as a task helps my digital hygiene, and at the same prevents me from doing it more often than needed.

Totally! The feeling of using AI to create something not fully productive is similar to the "just one more turn..." effect when playing a Civilization game. Even when you realize it's a waste, it's hard to stop, because the next dopamine hit is just around the corner.

My programming career literally started in a dumpster in the ’90s, when I found a Turbo Vision book someone had thrown away. I picked it up and immediately fell in love with the bluish TUIs that anyone could make.

So it's effectively a net+DOM+script-only browser with no style/layout/paint.

---

Definitely fun for me to watch as someone who is making a lightweight browser engine with a different set of trade-offs (net+DOM+style/layout/paint-only with no script)

Both projects (Lightpanda, DioxusLabs/blitz) sound very interesting to me. What do you think about rendering patterns that require both script+layout for rendering, e.g. virtual scrolling of large tables?

What would be a good pattern to make virtual scrolling work with Lightpanda or Blitz?

I love this. We need more experimenting with UX status quo. Especially with drag and drop, which, I think all many would agree, is one of the not ideal UX patterns espacialy with scrolling involved.

The research is never over. Good ideas, bad ideas, doesn't matter as long as they continue to inspire.

Agree. If the author collects the IP address of the response, maybe countries can be mapped retrospectively.

Amazing news! It would be great to read how did it come to attract such great sponsorships. Was that actively searched for by Andreas?

I assume it was considered, but I don’t see it mentioned: Would it be a terrible idea to use a cloud computer and Remote Desktop/VNC to it? Your slow internet only needs to stream the compressed pixels to your thin client.

You are right. I edited my comment to remove the negative sentiment towards the advice itself. I also admire the craftsmanship there. Still, the dark patterns are just increasingly unbearable. Same can be said about many market leaders in other categories.

I find the experience of Airbnb user hostile. The last time I checked, the app pushed irrelevant search results on me with no option of turning that off. Now they give advice on UX? The advice might be sound, but it comes from an authority in marketing, not UX
