My experience with the people around me are that most people love AI. When I go to coffee shops with people studying, I see people using chatGPT/claude web chat almost every time.

They've managed to convince people to pay $800 (usually with some discounts to be fair) for what's essentially a $400-450 mid range phone. Even if nothing was defective and customer service was "perfect", it's still a midrange phone priced like a flagship.

They used to have something called the pixelbook, which is the most generic name you can possible have. Neither of these names are unarguably better than the other.

If this ends up being great for developing android apps, and running them on the desktop, plus having 15+ hour battery life, it could be interesting. Knowing google, it probably won't though.

I'm a GUI user too but using helix-mode (like vim-mode but IMO more intuitive) in my GUI editor, zed, gives me the benefits of both.

Helix mode in zed is closest to my perfect text editor right now. Does everything helix does but with alt-up/alt-down to move lines, and a few other little things like that that you'd expect a modern editor to have.

Both using their respective CLIs, on a relatively small project.

I assume some people here have never programmed a single useful thing even once in their lives.

The fact they have to be installed/uninstalled too is another inefficiency.

"Only a bachelor's" is a ridiculous comment, and incredibly out of touch.

The main problems regular people have when it comes to their phones/macs today isn't that they're boring, it's that the software is buggy and inconsistent, and generally just seems a disservice to the otherwise industry leading hardware.

I'd rather they fix that first than cater to the hardware enthusiasts yearning for some breakthrough new-paradigm design.

I'm building this exact thing. Heavily inspired by obsidian (and the obsidian workflow where you launch claude code in your vault), but with a leaner UX, and a web-first app. Not launched yet, but I'll let you know when I do.

Personally, I really don't enjoy WYSIWIG editors when writing notes. It's just unnecessarily different compared to what I'm used to. Though I can see non-devs enjoying it more.

Also, its not theirs.

I think it fits fine with the type of app this is. Sure some people might be slightly put off, and there is a bit of fluff sprinkled in everywhere, but I think it's fine.

I've noticed that hyperbole is increasingly getting frontpaged as of these past 6-10 months.
