Low-code is definitely an emerging paradigm that is going to be interesting over the next few years. It's going off the assumption that a large number of application use cases follow a basic MVC model. I suspect that assumption is correct.
The pricing is a little high now, but compare that against the 10s of thousands of $$$ that you would spend on a developer and the loss of product vision...

Was just in a mini-conference with my Alma Mater and I was very impressed with how they used Gather Town! Definitely needs just a little polish but the experience was very cool and didn't require any gaming PC or VR tools.
I think there's something that can be done with maybe like a push-to-talk mic because leaving it on can be disruptive as people are popping in and out or walking...

Could the maker be a little more transparent with where the data is coming from? One might mistake it as a visualization that is indicative of comprehensive demographic patterns.

Love the look and the features. Pricing is a little out of my range for personal use, but if I was using Notion as a small-company or business I could definitely see value in extending Notion to act as a CMS for a company website.
Any roadmap for staying ahead of the Notion team or extending to other platforms like perhaps AirTable or Coda? Maybe I'm missing something but since Notion owns the...

Tried it out, a little buggy when my friend and I tested it but love the concept, plus the fact that both parties need accounts for the streaming service so there's no lag or reduction of quality from streaming the video feed, nor are there legality issues.
The implementation method is the first I've seen that makes sense across the board! I'll see how I can contribute to the Github page so...

I suppose Android was due for a basic podcast app fairly soon, with Apple providing a standard offering for iPhone. Like Apple's app, this app leaves a lot to be desired.As an avid podcast listener, I jumped on the Pocket Casts train some time ago so admittedly Google had a large hill to climb in order to get me to change to their app. Currently there are additions/changes they would need to...

Very nice! I had a similar idea and never executed on it but you guys knocked it out of the park with the smooth UI and wealth of features. Looking forward to more coffee shop working.
P.S. Really hope this drives more coffee shops in my area to get faster/higher bandwidth internet.

My original pair of Spectacles, which I stood in an actual line in NYC to get them from one of their Snapbots, have been a ton of fun despite a few technical issues here and there!
All that being said, I care about the photo quality and the hardware and I'm finding it hard to justify the additional $20 from the previous version. Does anyone have specs on camera quality?

Very interesting and effective way to tell your story! Any interest in making code-formatting for text available other data-based embeds like Plotly? Could be a very effective platform for data-journalism that way.

I'm hoping you can figure this out since I don't know the right answer but I don't see too many actually honest/divisive conversations on a platform where your questions/answers would effectively act as a public digital footprint for all the world to see.
I think an app like this is certainly important to have these conversations but, realistically, viewpoints an individual may hold that seem...

Maybe I'm too separated from this use case because I think it's a little too narrowly focused to making drinks. I do like the aspect of applying a timer to a drink round order. Maybe apply features to retain the aspects of making the drinks, but also apply to buying the drinks? Like one user states "I'm heading out to buy coffee/heading to the bar counter for another round" -> starts the...
