Interesting website, even though it has stopped.
The previous post on the website was quite a precursor in hindsight.

A perfect origin story of a villain.
Jeremy then goes on a crime spree, but he was caught early on because he is a snail… with a left-coiled shell. The shell prints at the crime scenes helped narrow it down to him instantly.
Perhaps they are setting this in a fantasy world where sword and sorcery exists with modern technology. :P
There is a truck a few seconds into the trailer. I guess they forgot to mask it or edit it out.
Vim was my primary tool of development for over a decade, and I used Obsidian for about 3 years. However, in early 2024, I tried out Emacs and never looked back.
I find it functionally equivalent to Vim albeit perceivably slower, and Org-mode (+Denote) is far superior than Markdown and Obsidian with its slew of plugins.
Migrating my 3 years worth of notes was a pain since I was using Obsidian's variant of Markdown syntax to link other notes. In the end I gave up trying to convert those notes, and used them alongside my new Org-mode notes, thanks to Denote's interoperability.
In fact, Denote's naming philosophy is so powerful yet simple that I started using it for all documents and downloads.
Even better, they now directly report to a supply chain expert.
Yes, a convergence maybe on their cards. That would explain why they want to bring liquid glass to all their devices.
Though I am not sure why it necessitates having a software UI language which is aggressively similar across all devices, to the point it is detriment to some devices(all non-Vision Pro devices, IMO).
Having a consistent design philosophy across their devices should have been the goal, allowing for freedom in UI design that suits better to the individual form factor and input and output mechanisms.
Instead, we got whatever this is.
I hope this means well since the all encompassing "liquid glass" is a horrible design. An update for the sake of change, serving no other purpose.
Even its introduction/presentation at this year's WWDC did not mention the rationale behind why the UI design needs to change and why it needed to cover a myriad of devices with different input and output devices.
Even Apple has acknowledged it by toning down the transparency in lieu of readability, and still looks ugly.
The post has already been covered by some Indian news outlets:
The article indicates this was for their Prime Day event.
Are people really waiting for an annual event to buy their groceries? Or are the Fresh delivery personnel reassigned to other verticals for the event's duration?
Former is shocking and borderline dystopian. Latter is just poor planning and resourcing.
Excellent sleuthing.
The art did come off as being AI assisted, if not generated. But I did not want to discredit the art by saying it outright. The weird placement of the cabinet and distorted perspective of the entire art was what led me to suspect.
I wasn’t aware you are the editor/owner of the website too. Thank you for creating it. I have added it to my reading list.
Hope it isn’t taken down soon? If so, I will archive it locally.
As for your new blog, all the best. :-)
