I built @OxcProject oxlint plugin for helping with cyclomatic and cognitive complexity - github.com/itaymendel/oxl…

@boshen_c Amazing! Im just writing a small plugin that would benefit a TON from this :)

Next step for linting Vue in Oxlint, natively.

remember when apps just worked? no onboarding flow. no growth hacking. no engagement metrics. just open and use.

2fa to track workouts. terms of service for a rep counter. privacy policy longer than the constitution. for an app that stores numbers.

want api access to your own data? enterprise tier, $299/month. for data. that i created. about myself. incredible business model.

"delete account? you'll lose everything!" my 3 years of training logs shouldn't depend on your startup existing.

tried exporting my data: csv with no headers, unix timestamps, nested json in cells. "portable" apparently means "technically possible but practically useless"

every tap is a chance to quit. every loading screen is an exit. every required field is friction. optimize for the 100th use, not justs the first.

3 seconds to log vs 30 seconds changes everything. the difference between habit and hassle. speed is ux.

ועידת האקלים של האו״ם נפתחת בברזיל. שינויי האקלים כבר גובים מחיר כבד בחיי אדם ובכלכלה, אך הפוליטיקאים ממשיכים להכשיל אותנו, ומתכנסים לאירוע השנתי הביזארי והחצוף שלהם. לאיש אין ציפיות כעת, אך שימו לב לנתון הבא: אסונות מזג אוויר אילצו רבע מיליארד איש להימלט מביתם בעשור האחרון>

@JoshKuttler Probably, but i wanted to see what’s a “truly native” iOS development is like

@itaymendel Maybe you should try react-native , the dev experience is smooth, especially with Expo.

missing hot reload every. single. day. change color, build, wait, simulator loads, navigate to screen... vs save and instantly see. am i doing something wrong?

but at least swift apps actually work offline. tradeoffs.

coming from javascript to swift: npm has 50 packages for everything. swift has one way and you better like it.

localstorage can hold megabytes. indexeddb can hold gigabytes. but no, let's charge $9.99/month for cloud sync instead.

browsers have everything: storage, compute, perfect ui. but every app wants you to think you need accounts and servers for a glorified spreadsheet.

working on something where local-first actually means local. let's see if people care about owning their data.

privacy-first doesn't mean feature-poor. it just means not being creepy with your data.

what if most apps were like notes? no account. works offline. your data stays yours. radical thought apparently.

"our AI-powered insights!" the insight: you average 3 workouts per week. that's division. that's literally just COUNT()/7. when did math become AI?
