Apple is simply repeating Samsung, Google and the other companies with their Duo model. Nothing revolutional, nothing "one more thing amazing". Another heavy and clunky foldable phone. I bet that folding durability will disappoint the users after all.

Yeah, it makes you wonder how much computing power the industry has wasted over the years on tools that nobody questioned because "that's just how long builds take." We planned our work around it, joked about creating breaks, and built entire caching layers to work around it.

Kudos to the Vite maintainers!

I was also thinking between these two. Still see the diffrence: I guess "critical path" is single, bottlenecks are multiple.

Ask HN: What brand mention tracking service do you use for your startup?

raydenvm — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 07:10:12 +0000

I want to keep track of when people talk about our products online. This includes forums, social media, blogs, and news sites. I feel we are missing out on opportunities to talk with customers and deal with their problems because we find out about them too late (or not at all). For people who are always checking how many times their brand is mentioned online:

- Which service do you use?

- How much money do you have each month for this?

- Have you ever had an important mention get lost?

Show HN: MultiDrive – a free app to clone, backup, erase drives (UI/CLI)

raydenvm — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 11:34:50 +0000

Hey HN! I'm the CTO at Atola Technology, and we have launched MultiDrive: a free disk backup/clone/wipe tool that does things differently.

After 17 years of work with drives, I got tired of seeing simple disk operations locked behind paywalls. Macrium killed their free version, EaseUS hides cloning in paid tiers, and so on and so forth. Another reason is that all the existing solutions are overly complicated. It must be simple enough for my mum to start erasing a USB stick or making a full drive backup. All in all, we thought the community deserved better.

What makes MultiDrive different:

- Dead simple launch of a full drive backup, clone, erase or restore

- 100% free. No ads, "upgrade to pro" popups

- Standard formats. Backups use ZIP or RAW, no proprietary .afi/.tib nonsense

- Handles bad sectors, loose cables, can pause/resume any operation

- Parallel drive tasks

- CLI app as an addition for workflow automation

Would love your feedback! What problems with disk operations have you had that current tools couldn't solve? We're building our roadmap based on real pain points.

Awesome stuff! It would also be nice to add Opus Spicatum method when tiles are set at angles to form a “herringbone” zigzag pattern. It should be quite easy to implement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_spicatum

Excuse me, I can't help but cite this one wonderful song:

"When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am" (c) Iris by Goo Goo Dolls

I feel it touches on something deep that has to do with the current state of the tech world.

I'd like to know how you intend to handle the infrastructure costs of providing this for free.

Also, how do you see the future of disposable email services as companies get better at detecting them?

He may easily cancel it in two weeks. With Trump, it's almost unpredictable how things will go.

Thanks a lot for sharing! A great food for thoughts. And yeah, I definitely don't want to build a custom solution - it should be max reliable and fast enough.

Ask HN: MiniNAS Experience

raydenvm — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 07:44:27 +0000

I'm thinking about setting up a MiniNAS for our small development team. Mainly, for local storage of large artifacts and development builds.

I would love to hear about your real experiences with these compact NAS solutions. Any unexpected issues or limitations you discovered after you have started using one of them?

Same story with me. It says for both Workspace and Personal accounts that they are Workspace.

Have you managed to overcome that?

raydenvm — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 02:21:10 +0000

You can also consider self-publishing taking into account the modern AI capabilities. Why don't try it, including Korean language, maybe with the final review by a human?

Here is the experience of Jurgen Appelo with his new book who decided to self-publish it: https://jurgenappelo.com/blogs/news/just-because-you-can

Prior to this one, Jurgen had written around 8 books using the traditional publishing approach.

New comment by raydenvm in "Apple introduces a universal design across platforms"

raydenvm — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 19:33:23 +0000

Funnily enough, a lot in Liquid Glass is inspired by older design systems from Microsoft : Fluent Design (Win 11) and Windows Aero (Win 7). It shows how real tough it is now to come with something really new these days in design.

New comment by raydenvm in "Destiny – iOS app that works with Magic Wormhole and Wormhole William"

raydenvm — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 05:35:11 +0000

Consider changing the name. Destiny is a strong gaming brand, but it's also generic. It will be extremely difficult to build a new brand and stand out.

It might be better to choose a name that works well with Wormhole. Check Google and the App Store to make sure there is no powerful brand with the new name.
