Hi! I've been using ChatGPT with a custom prompt as my primary translator app since it came out. I live in Portugal - and am learning European Portuguese - and have found it to be a far better tool for actually _getting by_ in a foreign language than Google Translate or DeepL. The translation for an appointment can be either "compromisso" and a "consulta", for example, depending on the context....

This reminded me of Circa, who were doing mobile-focused, continuous stories a few years ago.

This looks ace! Small bit of feedback... It's not clear from the website what platform this is going to use. Some mention of SMS would be good.

Been using this for a couple of days now and I really, really like it. Chrome's muddling of apps and the browser when tabbing drives me crazy.

One of the most eye opening books I've ever read and the one I gift the most. Absolutely fascinating! I use the principles Cialdini outlines here every day in my UX work.

The true story of Clifford Stoll's attempts (in 1986) to find out who had acquired root privileges to the university computer system he was looking after. Fascinating and charming in equal parts.

As with all of Neil Stephenson's books, the ending is... abrupt. But he makes up for it with a prescient technological backdrop. 3D printing, drones, nano tech and augmented humanity are all explored.
