I like the idea.

I'm not sure of the usefulness at the moment. Decorating every component with `useFillHandler('Login.Email', setEmail, { hint: 'Email input' });` is the same effort/value as decorating with `data-testid="email"`.

I can see myself using it if I didn't have to decorate, e.g. by having get_state return the react component tree, and then letting AI figure out which one is the "Login.email" input by itself. E.g. `<MyApp><LoginScreen><input name=email/> ...`

Any feature failing should still allow the traffic to continue. This should be the first bullet in the future actions list.

It looks really nice.

The first question that pops into my head (being aware that this is a popular category of apps) is: when do people look at blank tabs? Whenever I open a new tab, it's with the intention of entering an address or a search term, and any content would be an unwelcome distraction.

I'd be more likely to use something like this if it lived under a regular domain name and I could put it into a pinned tab, personally.

A blank tab is super useful when you just want to make some mental space. When you're taking a break but don't want to close everything down or switch to another app.

I always looked at my feet while walking as a kid. People sometimes thought I was depressed, but I was just always thinking, and reducing visual noise in service of that.

I wonder if it's the same as looking up and to the left when thinking?

I noticed intense fatigue wandering Tokyo with my friend who wore magnifying lenses and he could not understand why I was tired. I said it's all the visual stimulation, the signs, the lights, the billboards. I think he was at an advantage with the eyewear, in retrospect.
igornadj · a year ago
I found the opposite personally. Something about the neatness and tidiness let my mind relax and see everything similar to a calm flowing stream. Tokyo is one of the most peaceful cities I've been to, even in the busy areas, and by far the biggest and most populated.

The man may exaggerate pace of progress but he has more than proved him self with TESLA, SpaceX, Neuralink. that's 3 bleeding edge companies in 3 different industries.

p.s) For those misinformed about state of Neuralink. Currently in beta with quadriplegic patients.

I never understood the criticism for late delivery from the tech community. We of all people should know how difficult estimating can be. I can cut Musky some slack on this one.

> Making art is hard. But art is mostly about surfacing the inner world, and only in part about skill. It’s unfortunate that art selects so strongly for skill.

Not to sound like a luddite, but I do question the idea that the skill gap is merely an inconvenience. I suspect learning how to paint or make music changes something in yourself which teaches you some deeper life lessons.

I've heard the phrase (paraphrased): No great work of art was made by a genius, genius comes to you unexpectedly like a gust of wind. It seems that cultivating these opportunities is the most an artist can do, and removing the skill gap seems to be removing the cultivation, the thing that changes you, the essence.

There seems to be a few of these inherent deep workings that we as a people keep coming back to, without knowing what they are or how to discuss them (personally at least!). Not to rain on your parade OP, the project looks fun and super useful to a lot people! Just something I ponder on at times.

Another bonus, which I've found traveling with my Vision Pro, is when I get to my AirBnb/Hotel, I don't have to log into my streaming services when I want to relax. I've brought my whole home theater experience with me.

Yeah the zapper is indispensable. Being able to filter content on platforms by the words in post titles is one of the best ways to not be exposed to toxic content.

Never leaving your subscriptions (never using the algorithm recommended feed) is not a solution because of second-hand toxicity, e.g. political posts in meme subreddits in an election year.

If anyone knows of a solution that works in Manifest V3 I'd love to hear it!

Found something, a drop-in replacement.

AdGuard AdBlocker (MV3 Beta): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/adguard-adblocker-m...

Copy and pasting the ublock custom filters into AdGuard seems to work.

I used the lite version while on chromium for some time. I noticed no difference in terms of blocking ads.

The main thing I missed was the ability to block arbitrary elements with the zapper. I use this for more than just ads, so losing it is a real loss in functionality. Otherwise it worked fine.
