I think it's great that you've developed an app with Svelte and you're using OAuth 2.0 login with Firebase. It's awesome that you actually published something!

Things I don't like: The design, the lack of information on how to use it, it seems to be broken in Firefox - or maybe I just don't know how to use it.


Why? It's their website and they can do what they want


I'm not claiming they shouldn't nor they cannot, for whatever reason they want. I'm just asking if there is any official position/reason provided that I might have missed.


Do you guys work off a standard template?


Have you seen any open sourced standard templates? Would you be interested in collaborating on one?


What is your role/job title?


Software engineer


I am curious to understand why you want to stop coding?


What has working with the mapbox map been like? I tried to create a world map website before but I did a custom map. In the end I spent all my time getting overlays on the map to work before I got bored and moved on to something else.


Mapbox certainly has been challenging. I read over a lot of code I found through GitHub search to figure out the overlays, and then went down a big rabbit hole trying to improve the rendering performance without much to show for it — I still think the way we render the overlays is a performance issue, but it could also be that Mapbox loads an entire webgl rendering engine with a lot of features we don't need.

Longer term we'll probably move to OpenLayers + OpenStreetMap because Mapbox data is out of our budget by about 2 orders of magnitude.


It's not just children that are negatively affected by these apps. It's everyone. The only way not to be affected is to not use them.


I don't feel negatively affected by Instagram. I like to see pictures of my family. All of the female members of my family (who are old enough) have accounts to comment even if they don't post. I consider it lucky there is a free photo sharing solution that everyone has landed on.


What do you all see on your explore tab?


The only winning move is not to play


What do you recommend? Loved Star Trek Discovery, The Expanse, Travelers, Lost


I dunno, all these you listed are pretty unique.

Babylon 5, Stargate: Universe, Colony, Aftermath, Continuum may seem have something in common with these roughly.

My memory also isn't very active. I would immediately recall the show you would name but I can't just list them. I have even forgotten about existence of the Westworld show although I enjoyed it and can probably tell what's next at any given moment of it.


Thanks, will check some of those out at random.


Why do you spend time watching bad movies?


I find humour in very bad movies. Not like run of the mill garbage, like "so bad it's good" stuff.


Have you ever watched MST3K? I think I have several dozen MST3K movies in my collection.


Yes. Used to watch with my father when it ran on scifi channel.


What does insanely powerful mean?

I like how fast it loads and the scroll animations are cool. Content is okay.


We’re running a ton of AI in the background to tag and categorize people’s ideas.

With one click you can see all the times someone mentions something nostalgic. We also pull out the questions they are asking, favorite books, what they’re curious or frustrated about, and more.

It’s a start, but I believe that search today only scratches the surface for the possible insights we can know. For instance, when I read an article about someone’s stance on Big Tech and privacy, it should be easy to see if they’ve ever changed their mind in that subject.
