You can have a similar experience in remote work with tools like shared virtual frosted glass of the MeetingGlass app.

I keep ProductTrailers.xyz open when I'm eating my breakfast. It's a TV channel for Product Hunt launches.

I use Code Mind Map - a Visual Studio / VS Code extension that allows you to add nodes linked to code and jump directly to the linked code on a click. I built it for myself. You can find it at https://codemindmap.com

It can be isolating, though, but the virtual frosted glass technology might change even that.

My 9 y/o account on Reddit was shadow banned because I shared a URL of my app in subs specifically aimed at sharing apps/side-projects. No warning, no explanation. It was just an execution-style ban. It seems that the social media giants want the audience to feel as if a sword of damocleis is constantly hanging over them. One step out of the line that no one says you nothing about, and you are executed.

My account just was stolen. I received a couple of push notifications on my smartphone which I didn't react, and then received an email notification that a new email address was added to my account. And then I lost access to the account. What a piece of crap LinkedIn is.

Meetings with shared frosted glass (with the MeetingGlass app) can be a great solution for this. It is relaxed meetings with mutual visibility and frosting, like when using a physical frosted glass. It feels a lot more comfortable and a lot friendlier than meetings using the mainstream video apps. Maybe invisible teammates will be willing to become visible with frosted-glass video meetings.

Well, have you tried having stress-free virtual frosted glass meetings (the MeetingGlass app) with your colleagues? Maybe you wouldn't have such numbers if you did.

Isolation. But there is a solution: virtual frosted glass video meetings (via the MeetingGlass app). You can be behind a shared layer of virtual frosted glass with your colleagues. It works like the real frosted glass: mutual visibility and frosting.

The author mentions loneliness of remote work, but he didn't do a research of tools against that. For example, there is a tool called virtual frosted glass video meetings (via the MeetingGlass app) that allows you to be behind a shared layer of virtual frosted glass with colleagues. It functions like the physical frosted glass and makes you feel relaxed while being on video.

kentich — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 02:48:05 +0000

I am afraid the software engineering industry is increasingly becoming like the music industry, which was killed by being able to get any song for free. Open source, free, fremium apps, lower threshold of entry due to AI, all of that is killing the market. Soon, you will not be able to make any money out of it unless you're a big player.

What field? They brought back up that old sci-fi term AI specifically for neural networks to create a false impression among people that this is a technology that can "think."

kentich — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 04:50:18 +0000

They called it AI instead of calling it neural networks and therefore provoked unrealistic expectations for this technology. Criticism will never end because of the fraudulent naming of this technology.

You can use virtual frosted glass video meetings if you want to have more presence with employees. This problem is solvable, so stop scapegoating remote work.

A web app that turns Product Hunt products into a YouTube playlist. Embeds the official launch videos and lets you filter/sort the queue. Built because I wanted to discover products while eating lunch.

Nope, you'll get a lawsuit for discrimination if you explicitly test for IQ. That's why they do it implicitly. The scheme is very simple: hire people with the highest IQ, and since they have high IQ, they will figure at least something out.
