Microsoft should have kept developing its mobile OS. Android will be Linux on laptops.

I installed Subreply as an web app on Android using Chrome. It's so cool. I need to update the About page.

I liked my Pixel 5, but a Pixel 8 Pro upgrade was free for me. I initially missed the smaller form-factor of the 5, but I quickly adapted to the 8. Getting a TPU case with a built-in MagSafe-whatever and magnetic PopSocket is a great combo.

I am forced to update from Pixel 5 because it won't receive Android 15.

After assembling all my open tab URLs from Firefox for Android that I saved over the past two or three years, deduplicated them, and deleted the garbage URLs, I have over 11,000 URLs I've saved from my phone. 7,000 of them are just from HN alone.

You could open a small number of URLs each day. Here is how I do it on the desktop github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/.config/fish/functions/opentabs.fish on Android github.com/chapmanjacobd/phone/blob/main/.shortcuts/tasks/open-browser.sh and here is how I sort my tabs: pip install xklb && library cluster-sort tabs.txt sorted_tabs.txt

You can use it as an app if you add it to home screen from Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android.

Did the app get pulled from the Google store?

Temporary, but the new version at play.google.com/st... improves native light and dark theme support on Android.

Yeah it's hard to justify the cost of teams with experience in all platforms, not to mention the cost of code ownership itself. I do like coding in Swift anf Kotlin, though!

Never tried Kotlin but it looks like such an improvement from regular Java! Java makes for a great language to learn early on, its verbosity is very pedagogical, but man is it exhausting on the long run. Still kind of hate the fact that Android apps need a full blown JVM, you shouldn't need 12 GB of RAM in a phone to keep several apps alive when multitasking...

holy f... I had over 4,100 tabs open in Firefox for Android. I had to copy them out in groups of 100 so I didn't crash the app.

I never understand people who can browse like that! I never have more than 20 tabs open at a time on desktop, and 10 on mobile. I recently got the Tree Tab extension thinking it would help me in those moments when I have quite a few tabs, but I've gotten good enough at managing my tab volume that it doesn't even give me much value.

Why I changed the sidebar design? To improve one hand usage on mobile devices, especially on the Android app (play.google.com/st...), to reduce the gray color in design and to make sure content stands out and doesn't depend on sidebar layout.

I want to build a background restriction manager for Android. I found how to do it, but procrastination is really strong with this one.

I changed the way unfeeder.com fetches articles. It's faster, new articles every couples of minutes. It doesn't depend on the Facebook API any longer. I can provide a JSON API for iOS and Android developers.

No one makes anything user-friendly anymore. Not iOS, not Android, not even cars or microwaves. WTF is going on?

Simplyfing things at work isn't perceived as work. It's almost impossible for me to keep a job more than two years.

My Nokia 8.1 just got Android 11, which is really fine, I find it really smoother in the overall animations and transitions !
