Congrats, this is something I’ve wished existed. Looking forward to becoming a customer!


It’s awesome with font rendering — have been using it nonstop for two weeks to code and design and it really shines (no pun intended) when there’s a lot of sunlight/glare. Otherwise it looks identical to the glossy display.

The only caveat is the nano texture is much more difficult to keep clean and maintain.


That caveat is a huge one for me. "You can only clean it with this special cloth that ships with it" does not fill me with confidence that the display won't hold some fingerprints more or less forever.



Hi roguesherlock – I'm one of the founders at Islands (islands.xyz) where we're building exactly this.

Feel free to shoot me an email at nvs at islands.xyz if you're interested in learning more!


This really resonated with me – thank you for sharing, Ankit :)


Fun fact: Figma recently announced link/URL support

I totally agree and have been moving my spec work from Notion to Figma too!


At a high level, how are you spec'ing in Figma?



Link can be found in the footer. In my experience it's more commonly placed in the top nav which is more prominent.


We rely heavily on open-source software at Pavlov and contributing back to the community is core to our DNA.

I’m really excited to see similar efforts by companies like Segment, Stripe, and OpenAI that are devloping a strong brand around engineering culture / OSS.


Totally - I think we all stand on the shoulders of giants, easy to take for granted all the hard work put into OSS. I love the conscious effort to give back!


I'm not familiar with Pavlov. Are you guys doing a similar program and how has it worked out so far?


I run a company called Pavlok and I'm curious about your company :)


i personally prefer file.pizza, especially considering it is an open source webrtc implementation that doesn't persist the data via any middle man (https://github.com/kern/filepizza)


Thanks for sharing that, it is also very cool! I think the two projects have slightly different use cases though. Two things come to mind: * Sender and Receiver must directly connect using file.pizza, revealing IP addresses to one another. * Both users must be online at the same time with file.pizza, and be able to communicate in near real time to exchange the link.

similar is https://instant.io/ which is bit torrent but in the browser


Have you tried http://www.pizzatext.net?


I agree - think WebRTC and take a look at what PeerCDN is doing about it (https://peercdn.com).
