michaelvillar | 3 years ago | on: Show HN: Automations for Tasks – Height.app
It's actually not based on other tools, it's automating tasks within Height.app.
Does that make sense?

Loved using Interval in the past few months at height.app. I highly recommend it if you don't want to bother building UI within your internal admin pages.

You turn around and see Father Féval standing behind you. He looks very old and
frail. He doesn't even have any teeth left.
> kill him
You quickly shoot Father Féval dead, but he still manages to dodge your bullets. You run over to him and punch him several times before he falls down dead.

It's nice!
Quick feedback for UX improvement: let the user upload a file first, detect the extension, then ask what file type to convert to.

They could use `pushState` to change the query without reloading the page?

Interestingly, the tweet (https://twitter.com/APompliano/status/639097166405853184) mentioned by Techcrunch (https://techcrunch.com/2015/09/02/snapchat-hires-a-new-growt...) doesn't exist anymore.

Some of them are created using After Effects, HTML/CSS and iOS code. Was this your question?

You couldn't be more wrong about this.
- You need to convince only one browser. People that care about privacy will use that browser.
- You don't need licensing, they still use the OS fonts. They just limit the fonts available.
- You don't need to convince web developers because they already use these fonts and only these fonts. Who's using Papyrus?
- 1997 websites are going to break. Again, new websites use only a set of system fonts or fancy web fonts.
michaelvillar | 11 years ago | on: Online Porn Could Be the Next Big Privacy Scandal
Interesting.
Maybe browsers shouldn't have access to system fonts except a specific set. Websites can't assume fancy fonts are installed anyway, I don't think it would be a problem?
michaelvillar | 11 years ago | on: Online Porn Could Be the Next Big Privacy Scandal
It always confused me of why this hasn't been fixed yet.
It seems like most of the uniqueness is from the list of fonts and plugins.
Couldn't browsers limit that by asking user permission before providing it? (Fair question and I'm waiting to be wrong)
