To put their own model out in front?

Why make a product and not sell it baffles me. Especially when others are rapidly making products.

In other contexts, it literally is.

Is on the binary available or is the source available? It is disingenuous to say it’s open source if that’s the case. How could this be supported into the future?

Hope I am wrong.

> Passage is built by the founding engineers behind Plaid one of the most trusted financial platforms in the world that powers apps like Venmo, Coinbase, Robinhood, Acorns, and more.

I like this is called out.

They are right about new habits needed. And this is where everyone should start. Sometimes a quick prompt has killed 5 hours of meetings to discuss if it were worth it.

Electron apps look the same on each platform therefore they are consistent.

The meta point is the effort required to be consistent with the OS.

You listed MacOS only apps, emphasising the point.

To do a per OS consistent experience is N times the effort.

You mean incongruent styles? As in, incongruent to the host OS.

There is no doubt electron apps allow the style to be consistent across platforms.

Code is not the cost. Engineers are. Bugs come from hindsight not foresight. Let’s divide resources between OSs. Let all diverge.

> They are often laggy or unresponsive. They don’t integrate well with OS features.

Give stats. Often, rarely. What apps? I’d say rarely, often. People code bad native UIs too, or get constrained in features.

Claude offer a CLI tool. Like what product manager would say no to electron in that situation.

This article makes no sense in context. The author surely gets that.

Anyone have a projection?

For giggles, I had it set all the lights into a disco.

Next, we vibed a markdown file containing a to-do list of all my upstairs lights that are abstractly named by the different integrations. I put an x against a name and it turned the light off.

Once I identified it, I wrote a better name next to it. It updated the system.

We vibed dashboards and routines.

The problem with Home Assistant is that once it works, you don't touch it for a year and are back to square one with the layers of concepts. But I am left satisfied knowing I have backed up the conversation/context that we can pick up next year or whenever again.

A memorable computer experience.
