    Love this app for Tildes. I’m curious what you’re thinking for timeline for going from Testflight to the App Store? I’d be very sad if my beta ran out before it was live for download. Appreciate...

    This makes a lot of sense and intuitively I’ve done this for years but not in this order. I tend to skip the first step, make sure I have working code that “does nothing” and then I incrementally add the logic I care about. That’s a more realistic approach IMO than the idea of writing functions outside of the context of your larger program.

    Been using Arc for a year. I love how they continue to make the browser better and I look forward to their Thursday release calendar. I echo some of the concerns about monetization and I hope whatever they do allows me to keep using it. I also hope they make the iPhone app better as that’s been the only underwhelming thing so far.

    As a web developer I greatly appreciate being able to use chrome dev tools and extensions. Other browsers are great but chrome is the standard for web dev for most demographics (for better or worse).

    I’m a big fan of how I can organize tabs in different spaces with different profiles really easily. A lot of what Arc does is available in other browsers but I find the implementation to be better than any other. I hope other browsers learn from Arc.

    Full stack dev with typescript/express/nest/apollo experience happy to help if we get some direction on building out the backend API and there’s room for more contributors

    Thank you for this heartfelt reply. Reading this really captured the feel of SWG for me and made me really nostalgic. Wonder when something like this will ever come back.

    I would love for the theme to detect the system theme and allow for selecting a light theme and a dark theme. I like light theme during the day and dark theme at night. There are CSS selectors for the user preference so this theoretically is something that could be implemented someday and would be really awesome to see! Love the theming and boxy styles overall.

    I live in Seattle and I like tuning in to KEXP on Sunday mornings. The music is usually super laid back and perfect for the atmosphere.

    This is hyper specific but I want a really deep and immersive lord of the rings game. My ideal would be single player and extremely realistic.

    Star Wars Galaxies was my favorite MMO experience for actually feeling part of a community. Other MMOs I’ve played focus too much on the grind and I wish other MMOs the last 15 years would have taken the SWG model and ran with it rather than the WOW model.
