I just stumbled across this internal email exchange at Microsoft during the antitrust lawsuits and I am amazed at Bill Gates' detailed email complaining about the usability of trying to download Windows MovieMaker (spoiler: he can't figure it out) https://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/files/library/2003Jangatesmoviemaker.pdf

By popular demand, and since seattlepi.com is blocking EU visitors due to the GDPR, I've reproduced the PDF email thread as a web page so you can actually read it!

Right now indielogin.com is in beta, and I'm not opening it up for other developers to use that instance just yet. (It's open source so of course you could host your own.) Once I finish email login (and maybe PGP authentication) I'll launch it. However I am also considering requiring that people sign up as a developer in order to use it once it's live, since that will help avoid getting into the situation we're in with indieauth.com now. I could see about making an account for this wordpress plugin though.

Uh oh, sorry! Please make sure you have crash reporting turned on in iOS settings so we can get a crash report and look into this for you.

Okay! Took me way too long to figure out how to turn that on. Also of course now it's not crashing anymore, but it still takes like a minute to start up after I close the app.

#60 Enhancement request: Notification granularity

That sounds very reasonable! I think this would make sense to split between debug notifications and normal notifications. Trips auto-ending would be a normal notification, but tracking start/stop and others would be debug. Thanks for the suggestion! I'm due to push an update to the store soon so I will make sure to include this. Thanks!

I'm at the dentist and she's showing me this 3d thing of my teeth and it works in a really old version of IE and I can't concentrate on my teeth, all I can think about is how much I want to open the developer tools
