It was pretty cool to hear the broadcast reference this. 100% think it should be more concise and have a greater depth of personality.

> Shameless promotion: rad is an auto D.J. that actually does follow your preferences https://rad.fm/

Site tried to detect my location. That's creepy and invasive. Tab closed instantly.

Rad.FM maker here. Thanks for at least trying it. A) the web app is still in alpha. B) Rad needs your location to make what it says to the listener relevant to where you are and your current time. Also, news & weather need your location.

Thanks for the feedback though, I'll delay the location request to later in the flow + add a popover which explains why it's needed when we get to beta.

Pretty much everyone who was not a sub-postmaster involved in the Horizon mess needs to be sentenced. The sheer malice on display here is inescapable.

These people killed people and hid their mess. Plain and simple.

Are you looking to get a job with your framework of choice? Or are you looking to build stuff for yourself?

If it's the former: React

If it's the latter: Svelte (Especially with Svelte 5 around the corner)

Hey everyone - I'm the founder of Fluxon. Just saw that we were on HN today - sorry for the late replies.

The app you're using right now is essentially an alpha-version - even the website was only made this week. Sorry about the somewhat-broken experience so far.

I'll try to get back to everything here in the next couple hours but if I miss something / you have other questions, please ping me on akshay@fluxon.ai

Hey there! Just FYI your APIs are reporting address not found: Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND app.fluxon.dev

Have they alluded to what they're using for that voice? It's Bark/ElevenLabs levels of good. Please god, let them release this voice model at current pricing....

pjmq · 2 years ago
I've been a paying subscriber to Kagi for over a year and I'm sad to say it just gets in my way and I often find myself just wishing I was using Google.

I've kept it thus far because I believe in the mission but man... I get why other promising search engines have fallen to Google.

If you follow Youtubers like Jim Browning that tackle this sort of scam-based cybercrime operations then this will come as absolutely no surprise to you.

I just want to write Svelte and get native apps out the other end. I know we have SvelteNative but that's not great and is a big abstraction. React here is a bit of a bummer i'm not going to lie.
