  1. This is going to sound strange, but I simply must decorate a few rooms. I seem to be so obsessive about selecting exactly the right thing in there in case it's wrong. I can't seem to select anything at all. If I carry on like this, I'm going to go another 10 years living in essentially an empty room with a bed in it.
  2. Hey there Boris from the Claude Code team! Thanks for these tips! Love Claude Code, absolutely one of the best pieces of software that has ever existed. What I would absolutely love is if the Claude documentation had examples of these because I see time and time again people saying what to do in the case you tell us to update the Claude MD with things that it gets wrong repeatedly but it's very rare to have examples just three or four examples of something gets got wrong, and then how you fixed it would be immensely helpful.
  3. There really should be a law around being able to access and review locked accounts. I've seen so many cases of people just losing their digital lives because of an automated system.
  4. Because I'm apparently a billion years old, I still use Sublime Text and just text editor. If I do switch, it will be to this. However, is it as responsive? Do file changes just appear if I change them elsewhere in like terminal?
  5. I have to say, i love this. The name is fantastic and the whole concept. It's got a very Game of Life or Monopoly feel where you've just taken the fundamentals of something in society and turned it into a game instead of adding an additional story on top. I really like it.

    My one comment would be, I think you need to change the branding a little bit. It's a bit too close to Magic the Gathering, and this feels like its own IP and can stand on its own legs. So I think you need to just adjust the cards enough so they don't instantly read as a Magic the Gathering card.

  6. If the author is reading this, then I feel like it would be great if you could potentially open source your skills and Claude MD in a redacted way so these are actually viewable. The problem with a lot of these tutorials is, if I can call it a tutorial, is that we never get to see the actual skills or the Claude MD themselves, just a description of it.
  7. This is off topic, but can anyone tell me what the genre of music is to the video on this?
  8. I'm not interested in doing this at all, but how does a person take over a subreddit? That sounds like a very difficult thing to do.
  9. On a side note, does anybody have a good cookie consent blocker, pop-up blocker for Firefox? I uninstalled "I don't care about cookies" since he got taken over by a mysterious third party.
  10. This is fantastic, but a very spicy business. All Claude needs to do is add one feature and you've got your whole business nuked from orbit.
  11. Did not realise this was a third party company until i read here, I'm very surprised they're allowed to get that close to the branding without an infringement.
  12. Yet again that recommended sleep aid application is a £24.00 a year subscription. I'd have paid £35 for a one off, but alas, I'll read the comments and figure it out another way. I'm so sick of subscription everything.
  13. 2014-2020 was the best in every category. That calculator icon was perfect.
  14. There is, they outline it in this video. It looks like there are three ways to turn it off: high contrast, reduced motion, and frostier glass. So it looks like there's just a way to have a full basic icon with just the icon and the outline and a white background.

  15. This feels a little over blown, but on the other hand, you've got to have an angle and I think this is the right angle.
  16. I’ve been using this for some time and I have to say it is fantastic. I’m intentionally not writing this with Aqua but by hand and it is taking so much longer. This to me feels like what Apple Intelligence could be, it is so much better than stuff all of the big tech is doing. For example, if you tell Siri voice dictation to go back and delete something what Siri will do is just write out “go back and delete something“ also if you tell Siri to go back and spell a name differently all Siri will do is write out the letters that you said to go back and type out. Honestly, for voice dictation software it feels like travelling to another planet in terms of improvement.
  17. I don't know if Ahrendts is in this category she did transform Burberry into a high-end luxury online sales+retail company. She really was the exact opposite of the old head of the Currys boss, John Browett. I think she was responsible for how the Apple Watch is sold. For example, trying it on and having that experience. It's a tricky thing to get right, and I think she's got it spot on. Also, the watch strap business must have one of the highest margins ever, and I feel like she must be in part responsible for those sales and how you try on the straps. That Apple Store feels a lot like going into a Burberry where you can just experience stuff and people are happy to talk to you about anything and not try and sell you anything, so I'm not sure she should be in the category of everyone else you have here because in that respect, the stores do feel very good.
  18. I'll just hop in and say I enjoy putting outfits togther, it's fun, it's creative. I don't think of myself as vain, it's more like interior design, it's fun to put things togther that I find pleasent to look at.
  19. See how good the brand is, you called it Office :) that doesn't exist any more.
  20. Feels like madness to get rid of the Office brand, such a strong name and brand, like Twitter or iPhone. Office must be worth billions in brand recognition. Ingoring everything else, that alone feels like a mistake.
  21. The CEO of Tesla has just called for the UK govenment to free one of the UK's most prominent far-right activists Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon (also known as Tommy Robinson) from prison.
  22. In my defense, you have cut off the second half of the sentence when quoting me. Which is not the sort of thing I'd expect to happen around here.

    I hope this provides some context: what I mean is "poorly designed" in the context of the product, which is in the second half of the sentence you omitted. There’s a mismatch between the product quality and the website quality. You’re right—it’s a 5 or 6 out of 10 website. Not a bad score at all, certainly not poor. I would enjoy and not comment on most other content using this design style. However, a 10/10 product (let’s assume it is) should not have a website that looks like this. It damages the brand. And that, I think, justifies calling it poor. (But what’s the worst that could happen? Fewer sales? It’s fine, really.)

  23. This looks great! I think I need to wait for some reviews to know if the coffee is good, but I would also like to offer you some advice. Your website is very poorly designed and does not match the craftsmanship of the machine itself. The animated fonts, constant videos, lack of white space—it all adds up to something that feels like a quick design job by a mid-level design student.

    Any paid template from any of the big website building companies would be better than what you have at the moment.

    Also, photography-wise, as a lot of other people have suggested here, take a few steps back. Just show the whole product on a worktop, without videos. You're not Apple; it’s not iconic yet. A close-up won’t suffice. We need to see the whole thing static, not in a close-up video all the time. (The reason you’ve done this is that you’re very familiar with the design. Visitors are not—you’ve forgotten what it’s like to see it for the first time.)

    I hope this comes across in the way it’s intended. The device is gorgeous; it should be treated with the respect of a good website.

  24. This was my first thought! Let's see what James Hoffman thinks of the coffee it makes, he seems very fair and honest in reviews. I went with a Jura bean to cup based on his review and it's turned out very good.
  25. Don't forget Gex: Enter the Geko!
  26. If you got the vasectomy ealier you could have saved ~$1000 on the Babboe Curve e-bike. :)
  27. Which Robot Vacuum do you recommend?
  28. I love the idea and drive behind your site, and the functionality, but I do have one suggestion that may help.

    I suggest toning down the brutalist "look" just from 10 to 9. Two things you can do that will keep the soul of your site and make it more usable: - add system-matched light and dark mode, that 100% white is very aggressive and bright, too much so and is putting me off using it. - just bring the white and black in a tiny bit from 100% white and 100% black, make it a slightly softer grey and almost black. Again this is more about making it accessibile to eyeballs. Brutalist doesn't mean unpleasent afterall.

  29. I feel like we can say this is not real, I'm leaning in that direction, Apple would rarely launch a new laptop without changing the background image, each new one gets a new wallpaper. It's a core part of making the laptop look new in their marketing and on the boxes.
  30. That may well be the case, but I think you need to have a look at the design of this pricing grid as it is confusing or not helpful or misleading.

    Perhaps some sort of slider where you can work out how yours compares to the amount of documents per month, so start with a sensible default and then show how much other services cost versus yours with, for example, 100 documents per month.
