Now there's AI Corporate Memphis.

Very steep, at least in my experience. Even compared to Cinema 4D and Blender which I grasp the basic just in 1-3 days. Darktable doesn't use industry standard UI/UX so you need learning from zero.

Does it also apply to independent "eau" word in fragrance or perfume, like "eau" de toilet?

To me Indieweb just another name for personal website or personal blog. Since it's personal, I guess people can do anything to their website, including looking for job.

> Having a CV seems antithetical to the entire idea of indieness.

By that logic, Indie music artist can't sell their song.

This one in collaboration with Work Louder[1] a company that specialized on mechanical keyboard. I don't see Jony Ive in this. Or maybe your comment is sarcasm, I can't tell.

Duo is perfect middle ground between monospace and proportional sans, in my opinion at least. There's also Trispace[1].

This one if I recall also used by Payload CMS.

Curious, what's issues you encounter that LLM or Blender forum can't help? I also still learning Blender though not complex like yours (Product and Architecture), and LLM help me so much, it is save times that I previously will search on forum and YouTube.

This is why we (or I) tend to follow blog and website that resonate.

That actually great idea. What payment method or processor used?

Very sad. I wish there's successor.

Now one thing is missing for me is Hacker News for design. Something like Designer News which sadly is gone. The close I found is Sidebar[1] but do not have comments section for discussion.

This is the best for me (pun intended). Less overwhelming than the default front page. And more discussion.

I register few weeks ago, the account still not verified, despite following the procedure. Can't use API if the account not verified.

And the comments you reply to prove the point made by Dang.

If I remember correctly, Davinci is Non-linear editing which doesn't affect the original file. Unless you mean there's copy of original file somewhere on disk?

I considered Zoho in the past, but to bloated with feature I don't need, IMO ity more suited for business and enterprise like Goofle Workspace.

Now I settled on Purelymail for the time being. It's simple and purely just email (pun intended).
