Oddbean new post about login | logout They're often not in this for the zaps. They're after grant money and VC funding, or they're students wanting to get a scholarship, or job hunters polishing their resume with some FOSS. There are actually hardly any devs on here making software to sell to the users, in exchange for zaps and subscriptions. Those are the few products that work reliably or even halfway-reliably. The others don't care what the users think because the users aren't their real customers. https://c.tenor.com/olnkZI1dcQQAAAAC/tenor.gif
this is a thing throughout software dev... where the users are not the customers... the entire edifice of social network silos is this too... the real customers are the advertisers and others who push the manipulation of the feed for their "philanthropic" purposes, if not outright created from the start by spook agencies in the business of cointelpro
People wonder why I'm such a #Nostrudel fangirl, but it's often the only desktop or web app that works and doesn't stall out my machine, and he always responds to bug reports. He clearly sees the users as his customers.
#nostrudel fan here also... it's my daily driver... oh, there's some bugs, like, currently i have to sometimes refresh the page to get it to update the notifications, but it has all the things in the right place mostly working
I constantly try out other apps and I eventually have to give up and go crawling back to @hzrd149 Using it on my laptop and my phone, now. I don't understand why everyone doesn't just do whatever he's doing, since it obviously works. You could just fork it, take 2/3 of the functionality out and give it a snazzy new stylesheet and it'd be like TA DAA! 🥳 You could do 15 variations. 😅 Nostrudel Nopie Nocake Nobullshit
haha! yes, we are going to riff from that codebase in a planned future client hopefully we get some good FE devs on the case and we can upstream fixes, i think there is probably a little funny stuff in the background processes, mostly small bugs i'd guess, deadlocks and such we have some really nice figma wireframes all together and ready to slap over top of it, just waiting for the boss to find someone who wants to see a slick, professional client, and we have in mind of course to be competing on the ground of slack, particularly
Noslack 😅 Love it.
hm interesting...
You can have my Noslack™️, since I got your Biblestr™️ . 🤝
oh yeah, don't forget to remind me in late august to do the transfer, and in between, lmk what IP address or settings you want it to have
also, i now own noslack.dev and noslack.app interestingly the base name was registered for .com .net and .org in 1999
