Completely off topic but the title made me wonder if there’s any subscription service that cancels you if you don’t use it? Not quite usage based billing - plans that cancel (or pause) without use? I can’t think of any - terrible business model of course
> the company doesn't care about community and only cares about profit.
There are plenty of examples of VC funded companies that care about community & don't "only care about profit". Bluesky is a good one (literally a community / social platform). That's such a black & white take it baffles me.
> Taking VC is an albatross that means a large portion of devs will never trust you or use your services
A "large portion of devs" (the majority) use so many VC funded services? Probably _most_ services devs use are VC funded. GitHub itself - was VC funded.
You can have an anti-VC opinion but you have to also live in reality.
I own a Tesla (and subscribe to "FSD", >70% of my miles are FSD without issue). As it stands though, Waymo is by every metric objectively better at "autonomous driving".
I would also love to see every car brand have full autonomous driving. It seems like you think you must be in one camp or another, and that one has to "beat" the other - but that's not true. Both can be successful - wouldn't that be a great world?
Your original post was very public under a very well known brand - you have no expectation of privacy after that. People are going to respond to you publicly.
I love it. The UX is terrible but the visualization is very "outside the box". Experiments like this are important on the road to finding novel interfaces. Not everything has to look like a v0 shadcn app. Thank you for sharing!
Both - but primary the cloud offering. The main author (https://x.com/heyandras) is pretty open about the project revenue its sources. If I remember correctly they're at about 10k MRR mostly from Coolify Cloud.
I think trained knowledge is less and less important - as these multi-modal models have the ability to search the web and have much larger context windows.
I was about to say the same thing - I use Zulip at current employment - and after you get used to it it’s pretty great software that already solves all the problems struct aims to (without the AI nonsense)
Oh - my bad - I thought you were a contributor to Lapce (which apparently uses Druid). Iced looks nice too, but it's missing a lot of core features that I think are pretty crucial (e.g. Multi-windows).
How have you been finding Druid? I think it's a difficult start for a lot of people because how often it's changing (and how Xilem may fundamentally change it again in the future). I had a similar issue with iced. Rust GUI is in a weird state right now with no strong options unless you go WebRender or something like Tauri.
Unrelated, but I found reading this post very easy. Something about the colors and font choices worked well for my brain which struggles recently to parse most long-form content..
