Yes, very different but still good. Impatiently waiting for the third as well!

Wow, as an Edmontonian living downtown some of those revenue stats are pretty surprising. A more coordinated regional approach and funding formula make a lot of sense.

What would one do to add more AI credits to their Zed VIP account. Maybe have been using Delta a lot this week. 😉

There are a lot of ways to be online, but I am convinced that this is the way we should cultivate and cherish. Being earnest and open to positivity is an active practice that enriches all of our lives.

The purchase is smart. My biggest concern was how they tackle spam and that’s an easy way to start.

This looks so fun. Can see it will be a lot of work for the browsers but the controls will be sick.

Finally there’s a certain “location based social” app that might be an interesting experiment to replace now that private spaces are becoming a thing. Taps, location granularity, etc.

I’d also like to find a way to get more reviews on atproto since it bugs me so much how locked in Google Maps reviews are.

I’ve got a few ideas. I’d really like to build a decent recipe book app. It’s a worked space but I think there’s room.

Is there a good example or reference for bootstrapping a new app on something cheap? I’ve got a few ideas I’d love to dogfood but don’t want to be dropping $50/month to index the jetstream and host my appview.

Thanks! Already shipped two features using it this morning and couldn’t be happier. The integration is great and really excited to try some of the collaborative features next. The inline comments on the conversation seems so obvious it’s now annoying every other discussion doesn’t support it.

Going to download this. Is there a good getting started guide? It feels like a bit of a paradigm shift and I want to make sure I give it a fair shot.

Awesome news! I’ve been really happy with @zed and have been hearing so many good things about Delta. Glad to finally be getting to try it for myself.

Night at the theatre! 🍿

This could be huge if you’re looking to quickly build a database using your PDS to host the data. Brilliant idea!

I’m just hoping that Tenporal makes it into the interop so I can finally drop that polyfill.

PSA: If you’re a web developer take a few minutes to share with browsers what features you’d like them to implement next.

A new Apple TV would be great too as I need to upgrade mine, but it sounds like that might be an October thing.

All registered to advance vote in the upcoming Alberta referendum. The vote might be a terrible ridiculous idea, but at least I won't be waiting in line. You can do the same, just go to: specialballot.elections.ab.ca/index/8400
