An organizer called "Rapha" spammed me an invite to join this 4-week program, promising cash prizes and mentorship. But it turned out, unlike real accelerators, they don't pay you up-front, you...

The site has been down for what feels like over a week now. After two weeks of inactivity, they confiscate your points (of which I have over $100 accumulated) so I have a bad feeling about this...

The UI progressively grows worse with update (which are slow to release). What used to be simple, clean navigation has grown into a bloated mess. The mobile experience is even worse...

Although understandably buggy due to the open-source nature of the software, Shotcut is very powerful relative to the cost (free)

Bootleg Photoshop but in web browser. Very effective. Familiar keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + T to transform are lost to browser ones though.

I know of no other Windows media player that allows endless looping from A to B. I use VLC for this feature alone.

The best hotkey automation for Windows, hands down.

Superior algorithms + less ads than Spotify = SoundCloud forever (seriously, the auto-play never gets reckless, you can leave it playing forever it's that good)

This tool is so versatile, sometimes after mass edits using VS Code, I still use GitHub Desktop for its superior diff analysis to make the commit.

So powerful at keeping my multiple repos in sync!

Although Sublime is my workhorse for being light-weight, sometimes you need a gas guzzling luxury SUV for intense tasks like mass-replacing code across multiple files. VS Code is this SUV, and does...

The most beautiful code editor, bar none!

This review is based on the only Mozilla product I use, Firefox. While I initially switched from Chromium browsers years ago (because FF just loaded pages faster), I cannot recommend FF anymore,...

Indispensable for accurate translation (although ChatGPT is becoming increasingly more useful, especially for multiple languages at a time) that excels in Chinese especially

I use the simple web editor to write vanilla JS that uses regex to powerfully return appropriate fetch requests to chatgpt.js based on URL! Very useful & free!

This review is for Spaceship.com, which just launched on PH today (but cannot be reviewed as separate product from Namecheap.com) The UI is quite unintuitive & clunky to use. It's as if a...

It is like a super-nerfed ChatGPT (ask it a coding question, you'll regret it)

Despite the very user-unfriendly recent wave of UI changes, GitHub is essential to collaboration & staying productive while building my apps.
