@DnlKlr @David_Rudnick I am sure you will be the one to sell us the new aesthetic AI. Hustle forever

@David_Rudnick I believe that there will be new aesthetics and cultural developments thanks to generative AI

well enjoy them, because thanks to generative AI, nobody is ever crafting an aesthetic over decades again, and no market will exist to support those who try it. hypothetical future generations will have an almost exact fossil record of when culture stopped

@David_Rudnick Where is the Digital Prime now 🤔

@DrReinhold @aarondfrancis @steventey @polar_sh Exactly. Stripe is not MoR so kinda not comparision. Paddle is the competition.

@aarondfrancis @steventey @polar_sh Can Stripe be MoR similar to Lemon Squeeze? Or are you just gonna bite the bullet and deal with that yourself?

I'm sorry but I just can't recommend Lemon Squeezy anymore. The team is wonderful but the product is just not there. Too much downtime, too many bugs, support is too slow. We'll be moving everything to Stripe. Not what I wanted to do with my holiday!

@dhh Because you are rich.

The Danes do healthcare about as well as you can expect a public system to do it, but I too have anecdotes for days about waits and terrible care. No system is perfect, but I'd personally much rather be in the US, if I needed anything serious.

@hhpapazian @colophonfoundry @googlefonts @davelab6 Don't you find replying to something 4 years later a bit wierd? Are you trying to get some attention or what's up?

@colophonfoundry @googlefonts @florian_karsten @davelab6 Destoying texture simply to feel like an artiste is a flaw not merely in a typeface but in one's ideology.

Space Grotesk by @florian_karsten is a #variablefont with a Weight axis (300..700), full Google Fonts Latin Plus glyph set, and nice alternate glyphs. 🔥🔥 fonts.google.com/specimen/Space…

@calebporzio I am using Paddle for one project and Lemonsqueezy for another. LS is even more expensive if you are not from US because they payout only in USD. With paddle you can accept and payout EUR. Also Paddle has new API Paddle Billing that got way better. Fixing lots of pains.

I'm pretty glad I went with Lemon Squeezy for the Livewire screencasts. I think I'd recommend them, but here are a few things I didn't anticipate * They took 7.6% instead of the advertised 5% (My calculated Paddle percent is: 5.5% which is closer to advertised) - note: 12% is the percentage including taxes they collect on my behalf * Support isn't as responsive as I thought (about a week to get a response) * There are some bugs (i was getting duplicate order ids somehow a handful of times so some folks didn't get access till I manually added them to the database) * The UI is kind of confusing with product variants (you basically have to add a single product variant even if you don't need one which is weird) * There's no app customer portal for one-off purchases (non-subscriptions) - I had to hack my way around that * The dashboard data wasn't as real time as I wanted during launch - not normally a problem, but when launching you want minute-to-minute updates * Doesn't have some of the transaction exporting features you would want for financial reporting. I had to export each payout summary, and one of them threw a 500 now I'm waiting potentially a week for support Big pros: * Really nice app * Pre-built checkout widget is nice * Customer portal was the biggest value differentiator over Paddle for me and it mostly paid off * Laravel integration is soooo nice * Built by Laravel folks which I love * Ambitious team All in all - I'm happy with the product. But as always, there's no silver bullet. It's a younger product so it's not as polished as Paddle, and certainly not as cheap as stripe - but you can sleep soundly that you're not on the hook for tax evasion lol. Also I imagine the team is WAYYY smaller than Paddle or the others, so kudos to them for tackling one of the hardest products you can tackle and doing it well.

@rsms Claiming part of someone else work for your own like this is not cool. I am sure they spent lots of effort and hard work to make this. Not sure why they would deserve this.

Lovely new typeface based on Inter

@rsms Every typeface presi website has this exact same component.

The sincerest form of flattery ♡ x.com/rsms/status/16…

@rsms @kepano Really? Its so funny hearing this from you.

@kepano No, they are in violation of the license agreement (which simply needs to be included with the derivative.) But there are a hundred fonts out there that are copies of Inter where people erased all traces of “Inter.” It’s just how it is with open-source stuff I think :–P

@lusbuab @AdriaanvRossum Oh so this is actually hosted plausible. Okay well i am not sure about the license but it might be totally legit. It's AGPL licensed so depending on that but high chance they are good.

A new competitor accidentally sent their marketing spam to me 🤦🏻‍♂️ Funny how blunt they are with copying and have such low ethical values while being in a field where you really need those. Customers will be asking for other ways to tracks their visitors. Will they say no?

@jasonfried Michelle also takes full advantage of environment with all that contant flying around for “experiences”

You'll also notice that Michelle takes full advantage of our fully remote work setup. Over this last cycle of work, she worked from Greece, The Netherlands, Switzerland, and Canada.

Michelle, a product designer here at @37signals, takes you through how she spent a week working on bits of design, code, copy, and accessibility on a number of different projects for Basecamp and HEY. And it's all on video: dev.37signals.com/a-week-in-the-…

@m_x_tomanek @mvusilovic wow tohel je real. Je tam ještě ten typek z xixoio WTF?!

@teentrash97 @bessbell Coca Cola made special drink for nazy germany because they weren’t allowed to import Cola. Its called Fanta.

@bessbell Not defending anyone but Puma, VW, Mercedes, bmw all also had ties to Nazis during that era, so don't forget to boycott them as well lol

Wow hope this widely available information about the Nazi origins of @adidas doesn’t go viral and cause a massive international boycott in light of their recent silence in the face of violent antisemitism by their partner Kanye West.

@alvaro_montoro @hi__mayank I think TW team is promoting this because they don't want to accept CSS is still great at some problems. Most TW users that already knew CSS just don't do this. I work in many TW codebases where it made everything so much more unified and easier to maintain.

@hi__mayank You could say I'm a bit salty about that sentence. I just find it so ridiculous and ultimately dangerous. It is great for click-baiting and catching attention, but it is terrible as a principle to follow when coding. Not realizing people won't see the difference is shortsighted.

@mschoening @tommoor Because it's both and most people use it as funnel for the coffee.

@tommoor What?! I thought this was a funnel for the coffee. 🤯

Aeropress fans - did everyone else already know this is an adapter for small cups?! 🤦‍♂️

Don’t let Demna or Rick Owens or any of those freaks see this bc one of them would do something similar for a show and we would have 100 tall androgynous Eastern European models trained in sword combat walking our streets. Very dangerous

@BVG_Kampagne @louiswesten which doesnt work for me because i second wait for being processed

@louiswesten No, you can order it online via: bvg.de/de/tickets-und…
