Ugh they switched it to some horrible web view wrapper thing and that’s why I got logged out. Why does nobody care about quality these days?! Everything is awful.

I use the @uptimerobot app with iOS critical alerts so that I get woken up if my main app goes offline for more than an hour. But the app occasionally logs me out and I can’t trust it. Any solid alternatives?

PSA if you use Stripe - but possibly only for US-domiciled accounts: Two days ago they enabled so-called stablecoins in checkout and you need to turn it off if you don't want that. I find it incredibly annoying that they would pollute my checkout with this. I operate a B2B

There’s very little mainstream awareness of the fertility crisis and I think that will change soon. Things are going to get bleak. Primary schools are already shrinking or closing in the UK. The government reported ~600k unfilled primary school places last year! In more than

We like to moan a lot about this site lately but this is amazing... I posted a quick lament about dodgy MRR numbers → @levelsio reposts and it goes a bit viral → Marc builds this and within 36 hours it's at $8k/mo 😳

In the UK it's now illegal for restaurants to offer free refills for classic coke and hot chocolate In Indonesia you can advertise cigarettes on giant billboards with the slogan "Never Quit" 😅

I never really understood the meal prep thing (it sounded unbelievably boring!) but I've been trying it for 5 weeks now and I love it. Lost 2.5kg quite easily - not being strict with myself at all. Less decision fatigue. I choose everything once per week. Costs me only $5/meal
