I couldn't disagree more


Product Hunt is a legacy platform


It does kind of feel "dead internet" to me


Is there a newer equivalent...?


Thanks, still figuring that out.


I have a marketing strategy you could explore. It's called Reddit marketing


Care to elaborate?


Anyone here know why the animations in the Fastmail iOS app don't run in 60FPS?


I wish they would improve their iOS app. It does leave a bit to be desired.


FYI Fastmail works really well with the iOS native Mail/Calendar app if you wanted to try that out. iOS is pretty much the only platform I don't use the Fastmail app on.


I know that this is at least somewhat on their radar. Scrolling used to not be 60 FPS either, now it is.


Is it still a Webview?


Some of it feels like so.


What are people using as alternatives for GitHub Actions specifically these days?


Hopefully a good spot to plug my own project, preloop, which is a drop-in replacement of Github actions(both the runners and control plane) that runs locally or self-hosted in isoalted microvms, and supports debug-on-failure. You can also push to the server, run CI and then optionally create a draft PR. Not quite production-ready yet(for the self-hosted part), but the local part works well. We implement the official runner protocol 100% unlike act/gitea/forgejo, so your workflows are more likely to work out of the box with preloop(forgejo has the closest compatibility with Github Actions though so it's a good off-Github option) and we use microvms so no DinD issues. I'm working on getting the official runner vm image up to reduce any environment incompatibilities. Feel free to try it out: https://github.com/preloopdev/preloop


Looks neat! I'll try your project if you try mine: https://getprobed.chat/


Thanks! Yours looks good too! What would you say is the difference with Slack connect? I find slack connect to be pretty painful once you have n > 50 channels


A big difference between Probed and Slack Connect is being able to create public community channels where all your users can talk to each other. You also get a feedback system, a public roadmap, and other features to help foster that community-driven growth.


Classic CI vendors like Semaphore, Circle, etc are options.


I feel like something is missing from your list of "classic CI vendors" but can't exactly jput my jfinger on jit.


I think of Jenkins as a project, not a vendor. (if you're looking for alternatives to Github, I'd assume it being a managed solution is a requirement)


Yet half of the recommendations here are self-hosted this and self-hosted that.


are we referring to jenkins here perhaps?


Love Firefox. But I always thought it was terribly misguided product direction of them to ever release this as a separate iOS app.


Total speculation, but I wonder if Apple wouldn't approve a single app with all of those features.


Really? I use it daily. So handy for junk links or stuff I want to search, eg products where I'd get tracked (more...yes I know there's still tracking at a higher level)


Well said.


This article is riddled with logical fallacies. And this is a very Silicon Valley-esque, growth-minded, narrow way of thinking about this new world we live in.

I maintain half a dozen products, some of which enjoy only a handful of dedicated users, and I consider them all a resounding success. We are living in a new future of readily available custom software for extremely niche use cases.

> Don't feel bad if you don't have anything to show up with all the free intelligence available nowadays. Almost nobody has.

But I can empathize with the author's attempt at "vibe writing" something meaningful, considering that they seemingly don't have anything better to "show up with".


Seems neat


Building https://probed.chat!

A chat platform for founders, creators, and small teams to talk directly to their users! No more email or ticket queues. Build a real community around what you make.

I built this because I've seen firsthand how community Discords just don't scale for support or community-driven product growth.

Would love your feedback if you try it out.
