@MeganNyvold the entire country of germany is on board with it

sometimes all you need is a vision

@GergelyOrosz github.com/djphazer/O_C-P…

@GergelyOrosz very niche: music synthesizer module based on a teensy microcontroller. It has (too) many small community built apps, and they have a github action to create custom builds to fit the size limit of the microcontroller exactly github.com/djphazer/O_C-P…

In earlier decades (e.g. 1970s, 1980s) the size of programs was very, very important. These days, the program size for e.g. backend services or even native apps is rarely a focus. What are examples where this is *still* a major focus? Optimizing program/app size, that is.

@seconds_0 i think brazil is trying, with their subsidized plastic surgery

If a country did try to solve the TFR but instead tried to solve "make the median person significantly hotter" what would they do Inb4 ban seed oils

@sarah_cone paying 70$ for a camera app because the design is super nice feels like luxury, but we should have more

I think a lot about how we don’t have anything in software in the category of luxury.

@deepfates go even more nifty with the polyend tracker (mini)

What machine can you actually make music on by itself? like sequencer, melody, record audio. I know there has to be something better and cheaper than OP1 right? Not that I need a another nifty technology hobby but indulge me here

@ospfranco @SuchyDaniel i used and liked pulumi a bunch and i think config plugins are going there, it's just not quite as abstracted with nice objects etc, but you can build it on top github.com/expo/config-pl…

@kall @SuchyDaniel Instead of waiting for your app to compile and fail after minutes you can run immediately type safety and far more cheaper pre-build checks

@ospfranco @SuchyDaniel expo config plug-ins is kinda like that, right? It's code, maybe not as smooth with the types as CDK/Pulumi github.com/expo/config-pl…

@kall @SuchyDaniel CDK is far more than a JSON/TOML, it actually provides code completion and type safety for constructs

@ospfranco @SuchyDaniel smells like expo config plugins?

@SuchyDaniel Think AWS CDK

@SeanMombo Have wondered about the same thing. It's about caching/batching to account for instability. If you skip or delay a few frames of mouse movement, it's fine, so can just stream as fast as possible. If you drop or delay even a few "frames" of sound, it'll sound bad.

how come you can have a super low latency bluetooth wireless mouse, that is comparable in speed, or faster, to a wired mouse--but some bluetooth speakers have over a second of latency? maybe because a mouse is just submitting x,y coordinates basically and its way less data?

@ospfranco what's your issue? I feel like not many people are actually using it at production level... I think it's why i followed you

@peduarte - ability to run (custom) extensions - AI (replace chatGPT app in dock) - "command grid" widget to jump right into specific commands - keyboard extension for snippets / clipboard / AI commands (see excellent Copied app that sadly died)

What features do you wanna see on Raycast Mobile? PS: also curious about workflows

@0xrohin @MaxRovensky @brycedriesenga @raycastapp Also triple back tap or floating button (assistive touch). Pretty niche features though. Can also run as keyboard extension in other apps. I would probably just use it from the dock pretty often.

@MaxRovensky @brycedriesenga @raycastapp 6% for now, to get higher as more people upgrade. Like dyn. Island.

@ryanflorence I ran into this when trying to create react reconciler for audio synthesis. Visual programming is dominant in that field and not really anywhere else I think you can't really do it well in text, in 2D it's super clear. Cycle.js had the graph, but no nice way to write it

@ryanflorence the world of audio/visual programming if we had this

Where is the declarative JSX alternative that lets me declare my UI as a Directed Acyclic Graph instead of a Tree? Heck, I'd even take opt-in global `key` in JSX right now.

@browserdotsys conversations after "I am blind. Can you describe this scene to me in detail" are generally downright heartwarming. It tries to describe vibe/evoked emotion without further prompting and gets downright poetic when there happens to be a painting in the scene.

@browserdotsys I still consider GPT4 an ally to the blind community

@MaxRovensky right now you have to write the whole thing in native code. Being able to write React/JSX that will turn into a widget will be nice. Basically this is all that React Native is, except it just works for UIKit and some iOS features don't support that.

@MaxRovensky one edge use case is writing UI on the React side for SwiftUI-only features like Widgets or Live Activities

This is the kind of stuff I just can't understand SwiftUI is literally React with a built-in component library in a better language You can't use it from Android which is a common defense for why RN is good akshually WHY? JUST WRITE SWIFTUI
