working on an app that lets you take multitrack “voice memos” by plugging your phone into an interface. then the audio is automatically synced to the cloud, akin to a primitive dropbox for audio. there’s a simple mixer to adjust levels for local playback. for now i use it to get hi fi recordings of band practice and shows.

self-plug: i built a streaming platform devoted to 90s jungle deep cuts called .mixtape — good curated selection on there https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mixtape/id1391354414

what a joke website

when you optimize for engineering effort rather than user experience you choose react and accomplish neither

also annoying how when you "sample" a book the title of the book is displayed over every single page. certainly makes me want to buy it just to get rid of that annoying view... the update just sucks.

Yea I felt the same way and cried internally for a bit and then forgot about it. I appreciate someone writing about it. I really hope they bring it back. I don't think the redesign really brought about any improvements... just change for the sake of change.

2 * 0 = 0 fyi

An app with millions of users, that everyone in this thread knows about, is worth $0?

If it doesn't make money today, and does not any path to profitability, yes.

Looks like they're about to get a chunk of Ye's cash, so it's worth more than zero until the transaction closes.

very cool! do you have a good guide you could share for setting that up?

If you don't want to set it all up yourself, GitPod basically has this up and running, with a pretty generous free tier. Think VSCode in the browser, with a docker container (controlled by you!) bash prompt at the bottom.

Here is the product https://cloud.google.com/shell

It has a quick start guide and docs.

built this https://mixtape.ai entirely in swiftui. some hiccups along the way but overall i don’t regret it. the speed of iteration with swiftui is just incredible. you can A/B feature and ui combinations like there’s no tomorrow.

Plaid was and is “just a feature” so this day should have come as no surprise… or am I missing something?
