This is very cool. I’m looking forward to seeing the progress!

How different is neo vim from regular vim?

I’ve used it and like it except I noticed that it apparently has a lot of 3rd party trackers. It apparently tries to send data to many 3rd party companies including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Twitter.

I’m not sure why it needs to send this much data to third parties, but it makes me feel a little turned off by this app.

A lot of people in this thread talking about how it’s not feasible because content creators wouldn’t get paid and I agree if you expect that same quality of content.

But I think peertube opens the door for a lot of the more organic content of just people sharing interesting/entertaining/educational videos with others without any expectation of being paid. I’ve already watched some really good videos on peertube that feel a lot more like the old days of YouTube.

If you’re really serious I would first recommend you familiarize yourself with the needs of blind users generally. Like try using the internet with your eyes closed and a screen reader to understand how a blind person would interact with a website. Maybe you can ask around or Google some tips for getting started with that.

I had a former coworker who was a UX designer and he taught himself to use a screen reader for this reason since he was required to ensure anything he designed was accessible.

If you edit the URL and remove everything before reddit.com and the change it to old.reddit.com you can view it without the app

Yup, I’ve checked it out anonymously with AdBlock a few times and I click links to posts from mods and things like that but I deleted the app (Boost for Reddit) from my phone and I’m not installing the first party one

At work we had a front end bug ticket filed and one of the other engineers determined it was only affecting Firefox.

Our product manager said “who still uses Firefox anyway?”. I was the one to pipe up and say actually I use it too

You can actually use messenger without a Facebook account which is what I do for the rare occasions I need that

Yeah I mostly use it for like product reviews/recommendations or like personal help topics. Not stuff where factual information is required

I’ve found several good videos/channels on urbanists.video which is kind of specific to urbanism but still there’s some good stuff. The videos have a lot lower production quality than most YouTube channels, but I actually kind of like how casual it is.

They’re just making videos because they have something interesting/funny/educational to share and they’re not out there trying to make money.

Nice work! I already found a couple I hadn’t seen before.
