me trying to give relationship advice: all you have to do is rip open a pocket dimension and create a new reality. then you say, let's enter this new reality together. it's very simple and if you can't accomplish it I don't know what I can possibly do for you

ScribeLine is no longer under a bushel basket! We've spent the last year making a field-first back office app designed for companies run by doers and makers. Check out a fully working demo of the desktop version below in the first reply. (mobile demo in the works)

one reason to be against affordable housing / income restricted housing / subsidized housing units in an otherwise non-public building, is that all these squish economics into weirder shapes. Anything distortionary makes building housing harder, but it also makes fraud easier.

“Affordable housing” developers are always engaged in a little scam: either exaggerating projected income or minimizing projected expenses so they can get financing Their favorite trick rn is including a few commercial units and WILDLY overstating how much rent they’ll bring in

getting people to understand anything involved with incentives or second order effects is somehow one million times harder than you'd expect. Even if they are ultimately destroying things they say they want.

allow babies no screens: 🦗🕊️🍃 allow babies 'a little' screen time: "Can we watch ____ Can we watch ____ Can we watch ____ Today Can we watch ____ Hey Can we watch ____ Can we watch ____ Can we watch ____ Can I see ____ Can we watch ____ mama can we watch ____ Can we watch __"

Any thoughts on babies and screens? Right now we’re trying to avoid the combination like a poison but it sometimes feels like I’m being overprotective.

We have actually allowed them to watch 3 movies (each seen multiple times): My Neighbor Totoro Kiki's Delivery Service Porco Rosso But its rare, they have to watch for at least > 30 min and their attention has to be watching and not doing other stuff at the same time.

The first 2 here are esp nice. They're quite moral, the children model really good manners. Most children's movies follow an intensely lazy path of "grown ups are wrong and I shouldn't listen to them and my magic will prove them wrong" which seems a poor choice.

Baby opened the ipad, started an audiobook, and then inputted so many pin code tries that it says "iPad unavailable, try again in 55 minutes" With zero way to stop the ongoing audiobook? All I can do is put volume to zero.

"Is this person willing to commit to building something as hard as I am?" Yeah, this might be the most important question for relationship compatibility.

‘is this person willing to commit to building something as hard as I am?’ - such a good question. often, not love or even compatibility is enough, but the commitment to build

I'm making develop/edit tools for Nocta. You can shoot in RAW and re-develop to any preset. Plus normal editing features. I was thinking of making iOS paid and Android free, but maybe both should be free, with paid editing. But: it feels rude to lock exposure/crop. Keep free?

I want people to shoot with it, and feel like: "I like this, and want to do more, so I'll pay." But I don't want to annoy people who'd make simple edits where they have to open another app to do them. thinking $12/yr (competitors: VSCO is $29.99/year and Halide $19.99/yr)

Is this a better art direction? It's cuter. I'm still keeping the real moon phase as the shutter button. The app icon would feel a bit more icon-like. It's too bad icons have to be circles.

Tarot was a 1400's Italian parlor game deck, later associated with divination. I use them for watermarks and the B&W/color icons already. There are some nice Italian decks, maybe I should use something from Tarocco Piemontese instead xitter.cf/okdan/status/211305326…

Flip the moon phase so its a C and experiment with typefaces; option B is giving a bit too much tarot

The beta version of my camera app on iPhone has more users than the actually-published Google Play stats 😭 No wonder no one makes android apps

yes unfortunately every single person without exception that I thought asking to try my camera turned out to have an iPhone which makes sense that artist types would lean iPhone I just didn't expect there to be actually-zero Android users among them xitter.cf/CntMnteCrisco/status/2…
