I really love this app, but I'm not a fan of the subscription model. While I understand the business reasoning, I'd much prefer having the option to purchase individual presets instead of committing to a full subscription.

I recently used the B/W preset by Greg Williams during my trip to Iceland, and the results were fantastic. The grainy texture it added to my photos was exactly what I was looking for and really enhanced the dramatic Icelandic landscapes.


I'm still waiting for the integration of messages from 3rd party apps under the DMA discipline (e.g you can message with someone on telegram from whatsapp)


That won't happen with Whatsapp. 3rd parties don't want META using the messages of their users for ad and AI training, like Signal.


Quite interesting, do you have some documentation of your platform and capabilities? Your landing page is quite synthetic


hey! we're working with an initial set of customers, and plan to launch full capabilities soon. stay tuned :)


Can confirm, peak Star Wars. All the references to the original movies are on point


> All the references to the original movies are on point

How I Met Your Mother was a very popular show.

But when I watched it, I was struck by the fact that in many, many places where an ordinary sitcom would have a joke, HIMYM instead had a continuity reference. Everything about the structure of the scene would suggest that the reference had been a comical beat, and the laugh track would play, but there was not even the faintest suggestion of... a joke.

If I want to hear about things that happened in the original movies, I can watch them. Does referring to them improve Andor somehow?


I think it's a personal preference. I personally like very subtle references to the classic trilogy: a non-fan can still follow the scene without problems, but for a fan, the same scene can carry a stronger impact and deeper meaning.

I believe this more intense effect, at least for me, stems from the connection to the unique 'pathos' of the original three films. That's my two cents.


I'm experiencing the same problem with my Google Home ecosystem. One day I can turn off the living room lights with the simple phrase "Turn off Living Room Lights," and then randomly for two straight days it doesn't understand my command


Google has caught a serious case of FOMO. Every major/minor player is scrambling to blend search with LLMs.


This is no simple case of FOMO. I'd rather say that this is a classic case of the Innovators Dilemma. It's their Kodak Moment.


Nice Job!

Genuine Question: what is the source of the underlying data?


Thanks!

Data is scraped live from the marketplaces.


Did you find some walls put in place by these sites to block scraping?

I have a little project like that written in R that has surprisingly worked well over a year without maintenance but some marketplace were off-limits without specific proxies


Crayons were accounted as food supplies? /s


It was a line item under "consumables".


Tinfoil hat mode: "What if" this results from a foreign influence?

But I guess that you don't need to find answers externally when stupidity is a much simpler reason


I've been wondering this myself, not that I necessarily believe it. If they _were_ acting at the behest of a foreign adversary (pick your reason: leverage over an individual because of a targeted campaign, leverage over all of them because of the SolarWinds/Salt Typhoon hack, cash, etc.), how different would their actions look?


Sometimes the tool doesn't have to know he's a tool. The Russians use the term "useful idiot".

They've created the back doors, I'm sure that the Russians and the Chinese are now in the systems the DOGE people broke.


foreign influence like a South African blood diamond heir?


That accusation is wildly off base. He's a blood emerald heir.


The constant need for tailored slide decks is what's destroying my motivation atm
