I’m glad you mentioned this. I worked on an email client like this for a bit, but I found email difficult to work with. Basically I wanted to be able to whitelist important senders and have those emails appear to my desktop, then the rest I could get to when I had time to open my inbox.
I know ahead of time who I want to be able to reach me immediately. My boss, his boss, my team and my girlfriend. Everyone else can wait.
We don’t have the stats on the number of households the payment processing industry and banking industry could power. Not saying that it’s more or less, just something I considered.
I noticed this too. I wrote a WordPress plugin to trigger a TravisCI build when I publish a post and this works great, but it takes 5 minutes or so to publish a new version of the site. For me this isn’t a huge deal, although waiting 5 minutes to fix a grammar issue sucks, but for some this is going to be a bigger deal when they’re used to being able to make changes instantly.
I noticed that the Gatsby WordPress plugin hits every endpoint on your site to build the graphql data store, you could probably modify it to just hit the ones you need. Additionally I feel like there should be a way to do persistent incremental builds. At least there should be a way to cache the graphql stuff. Maybe a incremental webpack build plugin exists.
As someone who spent a lot of time in the early AR space, it's disappointing to see that, a decade later, marketing teams haven't come up with anything better to sell the tech than dancing characters placed on tables.
But, hey, you don't need a black and white marker to do it anymore, so I guess that's progress.
I don't think AR is really going to take off until we have something closer to true AR glasses. The real power of AR is in contextual computing, that the system surfaces information as you need it / as you change your view.
Contextual: you look at a flower with your AR glasses and it tells you the species.
No Context: you look at a flower and a dancing hotdog appears on it.
Not the flexible environment iirc. Which is basically the reasonable env to expect, now. Standard env has some aging issues that keep getting worse. most notably jvm 7, if that’s your poison, but just all round crippled env lacking standard libs and with lock in substitutions.
