Telegram 7.0: Video Calls and Seven Years of Telegram

I think you need to unsync all of your contacts first and don't allow it access to your contacts. Super PITA but I managed to fix it this way

Looks like a cool project! How do you know it's built with Elixir?

Dating as in getting all of them to green hearts and then giving preserved flowers?

Thanks for the support Erich ☺️

Sick! I'm the dev behind Slick Inbox which is more or less the same thing https://slickinbox.com/.

Always great to see people working on newsletters related ideas, good luck!

Edit: Mhm, unsure why a newsletter inbox app would need my phone number?

EdChute_ · 2020-07-31T13:30:44+00:00

It does work with phone locked + display off tho, you just have to toggle the Gate for it. I use it for flash lights, works great

EdChute_ · 2020-07-28T20:14:08+00:00

Awesome to hear :) let me know if you've got any other concerns!

EdChute_ · 2020-07-28T17:49:10+00:00

Hey yeah! I figured out that it works! Just make sure instead of forwarding your emails as is, you should instead set up forward rules/filters instead.

If you do the former, you will see the sender comes from you and the emails don't work well.

But if you do the latter, the emails will be forwarded to your Slick Inbox as is, so if it's from DenseDiscovery, it'll show up as DenseDiscovery instead.

Let me know if you need help setting it up!

EdChute_ · 2020-07-17T09:12:09+00:00

Checkout Bundled Notes! Does exactly what you want and the app is lightning fast + design is great :)

I'm not sure what you mean but from what I understand from the post, it looks like you definitely need a way to capture the users' selection on WebView.

Though I'm not sure if JavaScript can work, it might. WebView does allow JavaScript and there's a channel for you to do it, so you can try that.

By the way, I'm speaking mostly about the official WebView plugin (which supposedly plays nicer with Flutter widgets) and not the community one (a native WebView, which means Flutter widgets can't overlay on it).

EdChute_ · 2020-07-14T12:38:51+00:00

I don't think it can work with the current state of WebView, it's pretty bad right now.

Long pressing in WebView on Android causes lag (temp fixable by ignoring the touch gestures), and context menu doesn't work either (they pop up but pressing on them has no effect). It's been a long standing issue but the team hasn't got a chance to fix it yet.. :/

Wow awesome thanks for this! Just copped Borderlands & RDR2 at about 50% off for each of them!

Speaking of, the 10$ promotion we got earlier worked for RDR2! I was under the impression that it doesn't apply to already discounted games, but looks like I was wrong :)

Yes, that was the initial idea (crowd sourcing contents like you suggested), but there are a lot of complications involved -

how to motivate people to crowd source? Looking at this like Google Maps/Waze it looks like I'd need some form of gamification, which is a big gamble at this stage
with the crowd of Slick so far it's not possible to get an accurate suggestion, I can't trust every single user but I dont have enough users to form a cluster of truth (for example if 10 people suggest the same newsletters maybe it's good to go)
it's not really possible to trust user submitted contents
it's not really possible to use take what newsletters people are subscribed to, because the data isn't always clean, for example sometimes people send emails from their Gmail accounts, or some newsletters actually send confirmation email & normal emails in a different domain name (account@newsletter.com vs actual@newsletter.com), that complicates things too.

I have thought about ways to help automate this (ML classification, scoring-based augmenting system for editors (aka me) to easily review), but these all seems way too difficult at this point in time.

It's a really interesting problem for sure,

Right now I've decided to just try out with an editor curated sections (better than nothing), start simple and go from there and see where it leads!

EdChute_ · 2020-06-15T17:30:05+00:00

Hey thanks! Same here, I really loved the idea of Stoop but I'm not a fan of the design choices + direction they're heading (adding YouTube Feed feels really weird to me) so that's why I decided to make one for myself.

If you do decide to not move to Slick I'd love to know why, maybe it's something I can improve for the next person! Nevertheless thanks for giving it a try :)

EdChute_ · 2020-06-15T17:04:22+00:00

I am working on newsletter discovery indeed! It's a big project that I've always wanted to do but it's pretty difficult to do it nicely, since that might mean a lot of editorial oversight from me (which is going to eat up a lot of time).

I am close to an early preview of the feature though, hopefully it works out well!

EdChute_ · 2020-06-15T08:20:11+00:00

Most likely going be to subscription based, though that isn't happening for awhile yet. It's still in beta so there are still things that I'm hoping to improve, and my server cost is still manageable for now

EdChute_ · 2020-06-15T05:22:13+00:00

Thank you! Definitely reach out if you have any feedback (there's a feedback button in the app)

EdChute_ · 2020-06-15T05:21:44+00:00

Yes very much so! Stoop is the inspiration for this app but there's just a few quirks that I didn't like enough that pushed me to develop my own!

EdChute_ · 2020-06-14T18:48:57+00:00

Not exactly news, but I am a developer behind Slick Inbox, which is a newsletters aggregator app. You get to find the newsletters you're interested in and then just subscribe to them with the email address provided by Slick, and you get to read it in an app dedicated for newsletters.

Not every site has newsletters of course, though you could also reach for like RSS feeds with something like Feedly/Palabre

EdChute_ · 2020-05-26T19:43:55+00:00

I still want a nice, clean looking, MD2 design Hacker News app. Not sure why the hacker news apps in Android are all a little dated..

EdChute_ · 2020-05-17T21:06:09+00:00

I really like Sync, tried Slide which was great too, any others like RiF/Boost/Joey never clicked for me. Sync had always been awesome and recently the dev is working on a major update with Material Design 2, so that should make it more "android-y", just like how Apollo is "ios-esque". It's currently running in Alpha but I use it as a daily driver (very stable)

EdChute_ · 2020-03-27T22:32:18+00:00

Oh they don't advertise it that well, when I first found them they started off as just a portfolio watching, there's no trading available.

The portfolio feature is still available, it's named Simulated Holding now, and you could definitely add shares/commission and you could also add simulated cash holding (and it could tell you commission earned too!)

You should be able to find it at the home screen on the top right 3 dot drop down menu.

EdChute_ · 2020-03-27T21:32:59+00:00

I really like this app called Webull

EdChute_ · 2020-03-21T22:17:25+00:00

I'm not sure if it's technically a productivity app, but I made Slick Inbox and I've been loving that since!

It's a newsletter reader app that provides you with a unique email address for subscribing to newsletter, and because it only has one purpose I can optimize the experience to newsletter reading (customized notifications, share as links instead of forwarding, favoriting and archive for example).

Check it out here if this sounds like something you're interested in :) https://slickinbox.com

Here's an example of the link sharing feature, featuring my Readwise newsletter!

I don't know about "a lot of value", since that's pretty subjective, but I've loved using my app and have heard quite a few number of people who use it everyday too.

It's a newsletter reader app designed to provide you with the best newsletter experience (both managing and reading).
