An app that lets me point a camera on a piece of paper on my desk, and live vectorizes my sketches to a web UI so I can screen share or reference afterwards. Does this exist?

Will YouTube kill the podcast industry?
The podcast industry has long relied on the open nature of RSS to sustain a variety of small businesses. But that could all disappear if YouTube wins.

Does Inertia have a way to always include data in the initial request, but have it lazy in subsequent requests? Kind of like `Inertia::lazy` but included on first load? I could probably whip something up looking at the request headers but wondering if I'm missing a more idiomatic solution.

Any tips for handling large #Laravel Horizon jobs more effectively? Getting [job] attempted too many times usually points to OOM/timeouts, but debugging is tough - especially with 30min+ execution times and retries. What's your approach?

You need to align two block elements alongside each other with CSS. What's your default these days? display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr); vs. display: flex;
