Instagram is not predominantly used on Safari, so Safari doesn't sound like the best place to implement something like this.

nice, this is an interesting idea. Can you elaborate on the licensing issue ? how do you get blocked for using the models commercially ?

There is something absolutely oddly satisfying about using this app. Though there are a handful of channel -- this feels far more "bounded" that using Youtube as is. I spend so much more time on YT over other streaming services and platforms (and have YT premium too). I feel YT natively does a very terrible job of presenting "recommendations" to me. I can't put my finger on what it is, but your cable TV style wrapper feels very home :) Couple of questions

- How did you achieve the grainy cable TV style texture on your videos ?

- Are the videos curated ? Sometimes I waste a lot of time looking for quality content, or sometimes its good quality but you just don't vibe with the presenter or their style - so you continue to click around.

This is totally a tangential point. Why do they call it "air gapped" instead of "air tight" ? Are these supposed to mean different things ?

Just looked through the list. Some of them are sort of interesting, but they seem to be on the extreme - either its a large open source projects like PyTorch etc., or .. its a hobby android app.

Same for me too! I have been looking for a project to contribute to, but I haven't been able to find something thats interesting.

May be coming up with a list for people like us in itself could be something.

completely correct, but I dont think thats where OP is coming from or what the article intends to suggest either. Its recommending that you try multiple things, get a feel for whats technically feasible & if it looks interesting to the customer and push that forward. Its very well applicable to indie devs & also applicable to large companies to some extent. This philosophy is great to identify the feature/product you want to spend meaningful time on.

In fact, one could wager that the situation you described is directly a consequence of not adhering to what OP is suggesting.

I m not sure if this is fully accurate though, especially about Japan and South Korea part. Both of them have demonstrated solid economic prowess in the last few decades & if you ignore a few decades of colonial interlude and look back further - they still have had sound economies in previous centuries. I think Singapore , Taiwan and even may be UAE are missing from this list ( depending on how much further back in history you are looking at).

I think "mid-century modern" captures the design aesthetics.
