It’s just a mesh router, they’ve been around for years. I don’t get it.
I thought it was going to be something about Starlink making mesh networks so they could still be used in an internet shutdown… but no. It’s just a WiFi router.
Except when you want it to improve something in a particular way you already know about. Then god forbid it understands what you have asked and makes only that change :/
Some times I end up giving up trying to get the AI to build something following a particular architecture or fixing a particular problem in it's provious implementations.
Kagi doesn't have a partnership with Google - they work under adversarial interoperability, stealing results from Google against their will, and paying some third-party to enable this. They'd like to simply pay Google, but Google doesn't want their money.
You’re probably referring to the fact that their search results include entries from Yandex. That’s something entirely different from being “backed by Russia.” If anything, they pay Russia, not the other way around.
Out of these the text selection and the Apple Pay card button bring me the most daily pain.
Even writing this short sentence I’ve accidentally deleted words when I just wanted to move the cursor and it decides, no, you must want to select that whole word
> it decides, no, you must want to select that whole word
Yeah this arrogance where my tool decides what I want to do, and even if I put the cursor to where it will want, Apple will (un)helpfully move it. Because Apple thinks its users are retards and need help
Yeah what’s with the cursor moving thing? I put the damn thing where I wanted. Why move it? It’s so interrupting to general mental flow having to constantly check and double check every action.
This is a great idea. I’ve been thinking about making something like this for a while due to all the problems you describe.
I was planning to make something that used rfid cards to play specific songs / albums so it worked more like yoto. But that would just make it even more niche!
Thanks! The RFID approach is cool – I actually built a box with real buttons and RFID connected to our Sonos system at some point. Was fun, but in the end I prefer the digital approach. Less hardware to maintain.
And niche isn't bad – sometimes that's exactly where the best apps live.
Yeah the little hardware I had actually tried to make was so painful compared to software dev. Interested to read the part about asking users to make their own spotify dev account. How’s that going so far? Seems like it could be a big roadblock for non techy users?
