🦿 Lucian Marin in #android
I tried Samsung Galaxy S24 in the store today. The design is amazing, camera is terrible and the software experience is horrible. I will stick with my Pixel 5 for the moment. Pixel 9 renders look promising.

😀 Tom 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.

Zero Edge Googles rise to dominance in the early days of the internet basically killed all creativity when it came to web design. Since their scrapers couldn't understand anything other than basic text that is arranged in a certain way websites stopped trying to be unique and instead adopted the cookie cutter web design we see today. Gone are the unique websites of the early days of the internet where you had little to no boundaries. Even today websites are forced to cater their content and design if they want any chance of being ranked by Google's scraper. SEO is garbage that only exists because of Googles failure to design a better scraper.

🦿 Lucian Marin How does it work?

🙂 Roy So this wasn't designed for long posts. The moment I click enter, the cursor doesn't move to a new line. I think long posts would need a lot more formatting to be worth reading.

🦿 Lucian Marin Nokia Pure (nokiapure.com) is pretty similar to design language on Subreply. I might adopt some of their ideas.

👨‍💻 William Young Ooh thanks! I love how clean this site is.
🦿 Lucian Marin I do my best, but there's still some work to do on the design side. As pointed out, there's some gray text that can be misleading.

Vincent L. Apple, back off. Remove protruding lenses. Add fingerprint sensor. Thank you. SE'16 ftw. -- While you're at it, give me a physical keyboard. Thank you.
🦿 Lucian Marin Samsung is going for a minimal design with Galaxy S23. I hope that Apple and Google will follow this trend in 2023.

🦿 Lucian Marin Laptop is in service. I don't know what my next laptop will be, but M2 Air is a mess. I wish it had a native resolution at 2x like M1 Pro. But I don't like M1 Pro because is heavy (1.6 kg). I'm looking at Lenovo Yoga and LG Gram at 14-inches to run Fedora.
🐸 Simon Yeah the latest Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 with Ryzen 6000 series are amazing. High-refresh rate OLED panels, RDNA 2 graphics, good design, stellar battery life. A friend of mine has been trying to get his hands on one but sadly they're out of stock everywhere!

🦿 Lucian Marin I'm using a Python stack: Falcon as web framework, Django for ORM, PostgreSQL, PgBouncer to keep DB connections hot, Gunicorn for async and multithreading HTTP requests, sockets for connections between each stack component to reduce latency. I pay vultr.com/?ref=894... for a high frequency Intel server to reduce latency even further.
Nicolás Parada Awesome. Doesn't look anything crazy. Maybe it is just a well designed and simple database schema... How do you query the feed from SQL. Do you use fan-out, or fan-in?

🌜 Milkman Riot Native or Cross-platform? i.e. Kotlin/Swft vs Flutter/React-Native/Xamarin
🦿 Lucian Marin I like to develop and design for web because I can provide the best user experience. But I want to learn Flutter, so I vote for cross-platform.

👨‍💻 Matthieu V. News tab and new icons on the sidebar ? I see is trying things !
🦿 Lucian Marin I was designing UIs for Isocubes in Figma and I noticed heroicons.dev fit perfectly. I hope won't be upset for replacing his icons. I can't believe how hard is to start a new platform from scratch. Now I try to maximize the value each user gets from Subreply by adding features.

🦿 Lucian Marin 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.

😀 Tom One issue I do have with that site, well maybe two, is that it's very cluttered and I don't like the design. Fixing the design and making it cleaner could fix the clutter. The one issue I have with Subreply that hey.cafe does better with, is the continuity of the replies. I don't like how on Subreply they are all broken up, and you can't read all the text of what's being replied to. I guess another thing I'm not sure about the other site, is having different cafes for things. I guess I'm more interested in personal conversations than a mini-reddit.
🦿 Lucian Marin I think read.cv is a worthy competitor on both design and functionality. I have an idea about a social space with private messages, channels with inline replies and mentions, a resume builder and jobs in supported cities... or build everything into Subreply. I find full threads to be hard to read after a few levels of indentation, so I want to get the most out of threads without displaying them in full.

🦿 Lucian Marin Reminds me of the mistake I made when I renamed Sublevel to Sub.Cafe. Paying for a premium domain isn't ideal. Also, scaling is an issue for media rich sites.

☕ David Antoine Be careful with that. I've returned two HP Spectre X360 with the OLED 4K screen. They were bad, with horizontal banding and green tinted inconsistant patches, in both cases on the left side. Plus a highly visible PWM at low brightness. I was a fool. Now I exchanged those with a Legion 5 Pro. Not what I would have liked but it works OK. No wonder Apple still doesn't use OLED on their laptops...
🦿 Lucian Marin I know the feeling, replaced 3 screens on my first MacBook Pro. But OLED will be a great improvement for coding, not to mention photography, design and simply watching videos.

Zero Edge Anyone try GitHub Autopilot? I am mostly a .net programmer so I don't know if they support that yet but I can't really imagine programming with it. I guess I like having more control over my code and design but I could easily see me changing opinion on this over time.. thoughts?
