I’d argue that people using the man pages are a very small group compared to people using online documentation and all the familiar UX that comes with it.

Makes sense to me to keep one place updated and link to that one.

If you are using Fork.app on Mac as your git client, this now exists (For one month now) there too: https://github.com/fork-dev/Tracker/issues/2200#issuecomment...

Or the simpler explanation (which is probably closer to the truth): Stripe is a very popular company on HN as many people use them, their founders sometimes comment here and if they share their opinion on something people pay attention and upvote it.

Doesn't explain how you get to the frontpage with less than 20 upvotes magically.

You only need about 4 upvotes in the first 20 minutes or so to get on the front page. It's the same for every story.

Or the even simpler explanation, that whenever Stripe posts a blog post, they have nine or 10 employees waiting to upvote it the moment it goes live.

Nice idea…but this will just end up in the same bucket as “I really like your website {domain} and especially your post {link to blog post} about {topic} would you like to include a link to {our service}” SEO link building spam.

Sure, there's many examples (I have a few personal ones as well) where I'm just building small tools and helpers for myself which I just wouldn't have done before because it would take me half a day. Or non-technical people at work that now just build some macros and scripts for Google Sheets that they would've never done before to automate little things.

I'm in the same boat. I use AI to generate tons of small things for work. None of it is shareable online because it's unique to my workplace and it's not some generic reusable tool, and for the most part the scripts are boring. Their most interesting attribute is how little effort they took, not their originality or grandness of scale.

I've only enjoyed using Protobuf + gRPC after we've started using https://buf.build. Before that it was always a pain with Makefiles building obscure commands, then developers having different versions of the Protobuf compiler installed and all kinds of paper cuts like that.

Now it's just "buf generate", every developer has the exact same settings defined in the repo and on the frontend side we are just importing the generated Typescript client and have all the types instantly available there. Also nice to have a hosted documentation to link people to.

My experience is mostly with Go, Python and TS.

buf.build sounds interesting as a middle ground for using protos without going all-in on the Bazel build ecosystem.

Have you tried emailing them? Usually indie developers are quite open to small reasonable suggestions like that.

I’ve implemented that feature but I haven’t had the time to push out a new update (family life and day job take up all my time).

I’ll try to prioritise this over the next few weeks.

Thanks for all the kind words to everyone who likes Monodraw.

Also it's the perfect Tailscale exit node that's always online in your home (They have a tvOS app)

I bought a windows minipc a couple months ago for this purpose, and it's basically useless if I'm on the road more than a week, because every windows update causes a reboot and a logout. I know, I should run Linux on it.

If you value your time, just get the Apple TV.

The post has 8 comments at the time of your comment and they look pretty organic for established accounts.

There are now organic looking comments. Maybe it's just the way some people sound.

Indeed, based on all the “look at that, you can’t even read xyz” screenshots around release time I thought it will be really bad. Upgraded and…it’s fine. After a week you don’t notice anything and the old OS will look dated. Just like every design change and any product that causes a lot of noise in the first week.

On the Mac it’s much rougher than on iOS.

Performance of iOS 26 on some iPhones isn't great. Sure, a lot of people complain because they don't like change, but we shouldn't ignore the performance issues and poor legibility on some elements. Those are valid complaints.

Agreed that there are more rough edges on Mac, but even then, I've been using Tahoe for months now and it's been fine. I hear podcasters saying that they're just skipping the entire Tahoe cycle and waiting until this fall's OS and I just don't get it.

It’s been perfectly fine for me too. I don’t understand the folks tossing it so much hate…I have to think for them it’s more about subjective style complaint than objective complaints. Operationally my Mac experience hasn’t changed.

Within an hour of using it, I honestly stopped noticing the differences.
