I went down this road with their Japanese.. in summary, their focussing on "words" vs "phrasing/talking" from day one like Pimsleur was, wat killed it for me.

On that note Pimsleur was/is EXCELLENT for me: 1. Focusing on phrases vs words 2. Talking from Day 1 3. Lesson oriented.

I do love this, but haven't managed to actually try it out. ( I stopped trying and moved on)

But well done for launching (the following is not hate, but onboarding feedback)

Who else had issues about API key ?

1. What is a TMUXAI_OPENROUTER_API_KEY ?? (is like an OPENAI key) ?

2. If its an API key for TMUXAI ? Where do I find this ? Can't see on the website ? (probably haven't searched properly, but why make me search ?)

3. SUPER simple instructions to install, but ZERO (discoverable) instructions where/how to find and set API key ??

4. When running tmuxai instead of telling me I need an API key. How about putting an actual link to where I can find the API key.

Again well done for launching... sure it took hard word and effort.

Are they though? Last time I played with them I had to create/edit two text files instead of one (service file and timer file), figure out if I needed to enable and start them both, figure out what to do if I want to temporarily disable the timer (systemctl stop? disable?), etc.

Can't agree more ! Having multiple files is almost never good for these types of things.

Congrats on launch !

We sell CMMS (Maintenance Software) for physical assets, "Corrective Maintenance" and "Planned Preventive Maintenance"

Our main clients are usually restaurants (KFC, JAVAHouse etc).

I did try a few queries to discover similar places:

* Companies with more than 10 physical branches like restaurants or banks (We don't yet support this query)

rawoke083600 commented on SVG Triangle of Compromise   me.micahrl.com/blog/svg-t... · Posted by u/mrled
rawoke083600 · a year ago
Actually there is very important 4th point about implementation (browser)

A few years ago a made a Monopoly-Deal-Clone game using mostly SVG + CSS + Svelte.

I was intrigued by the promise of SVG:

  - Loss-Less Scaling

  - Looks the same (or somewhat) the same on all browsers

  - Text would also scale and be readable up and down.  

Build playing cards on the fly with SVG elements dynamically (base-card-svg + text + icon/image/glyph)

All of these were never true-enough even for even a card-based game.

The SVG text never looked good-enough or readable at all sizes used. Depending on scaling the text/icons and lines got blurred worse.

The "fix" for many of these were endless and browser version-dependent magic-css properties and values.

TL;DR I wouldn't use SVG for more than 50% of your game or professional product that uses images/visual-elements. Its not worth the pain and effort !

Well done on launching :)

But I'm having some major GUI issues:

1. Icon-Button-Click-Area: Click on the STAR (Panel Type) I can only activate it via putting the mouse cursor at the left bottom of icon/button. Putting my cursor RIGHT on top in the middle does not activate it.

2. Panel-Split: Not sure if its related to 1, but I could only ever managed to figure out how to split my left horizontally plane once. Trying to split the right panel also like this, proved to be impossible (for me)

3. Sluggish-Feel: This could def be related to 1, but there seems to be a general delay between action(if it fires) and visual feedback

Suggestions:

  * Re-look at GUI and make it more predictable/familiar in terms of interaction 
  (click-area, feedback,speed)

  * Templates-For-Tab: Would be nice when creating a new tab, I could pre-select from a few templates, silly examples follows:

   - 4 box splits),
   - 2 vertical splits,
   - 3-splits (image, code, text)
b) GUI-Feedback: Just to make it feel more responsive.

c) Use-Cases: I do like the free-form-thinking with wide constraints ntoe taking idea. I can even see it being used for: WebToon-Layouts, Storyboards, User-Testing, Use-Cases etc.

Again Congrats On Launching ! It's 90% of the challenge !

EDIT: Google Chrome Linux
