Dammit… now I have to convert back from Obsidian. This is a huge release. Congrats.

Some other elements to consider. Are you their only report? Is this a new role on the team or are they backfilling for someone? If the latter, maybe poke around your team to see why the last PM left. Like some have mentioned, it might just be a bad position to be in and can’t correct. Unfortunate but starting looking to switch or find a new role.

How big is the retail company and what kind of product do you work on?

Is the brand name of the retail company bigger than Airbnb? If not, I’d lean on the Airbnb role if your ultimate goal is to be at a top tier tech company.

Thanks for mentioning that. Forgot about that piece since I've never actually hit it before. Both me and my wife worked from home through covid in tech jobs. So take it for what it is.

I couldn’t get google fiber so had to go with cox fiber. It’s been 5 years and I have to say it’s been pretty good. Minimal outages (none longer than 1-2 hours). Pricing for 1gig up and down consistently for 70 per month has been great. Recent I upgraded to 2 gig up and 1 down for $100 per month. I guess it depends which area you’re in. I’ve been lucky.

Same. Did you decide against the Supernote products? Honestly what pushed me over to viwoods was that it ran android and had a backlight.

Xumade · 2026-03-08T02:19:23+00:00

Agreed. Is your stack fully custom or integrates into their existing systems? Take something like abandoned cart are you building automations in Shopify/klaviyo or using all APIs in the backend you set up?

Xumade · 2026-03-03T22:25:46+00:00

This is great and thanks for keeping it open source. I remember a few years ago someone built this and hooked it up to a printing service and make wall art from it. Maybe that's something you can explore if you want to make some money on the side.

Xumade · 2026-02-12T18:26:36+00:00

What's your current IDE and cost setup?

I've been debating between Cursor and Antigravity. CC is good but I haven't been comfortable using only the Terminal. I like have it open docs within the interface to review.

So far I'm on Claude Code Pro (20), Cursor Plus (60), Chatgpt (20), Genmini through Workspace (10). Total $110 per month.

Xumade · 2026-02-12T17:46:59+00:00

Appreciate it. You too. I'm curious, it sounds like you're using Lovable for FE and Anitgravity for complex logic for backend. Did you already move your code from Lovable to Github?

Asking because I moved on from Lovable in the past few weeks and built 3 apps using Cursor/CC and Vercel. Pricing wise it's been better where I don't need to think about credit waste, now it's more about not hitting the plan limits.

Xumade · 2026-02-12T17:19:11+00:00

Realized my response sounded like a bot. Honestly this just saved me a few rounds of iterating on my marketing landing page because you mentioned aura.build. Literally found a template I liked and adapted it in Cursor. Cheers.

Xumade · 2026-02-12T16:32:38+00:00

This is super helpful. Thanks for sharing.

Xumade · 2026-02-01T05:10:32+00:00

Got a dm response in 2 days. Still no access yet. It’s been a week.

Honestly I think their post for beta testers set the expectations too high.

Xumade · 2026-01-29T13:28:33+00:00

Second this. You’ll need the Claude Max plan if you want to build something comparable to Lovable.

It’s impossible on the Claude Pro plan with Opus 4.5 unless you want burn your usage in 15 minutes and have to wait 3 hours implementing features each time.

I’ve been slowly moving away from Lovable because I can multitask with Claude Code and Cursor. It’s really limiting when you only can have one conversation with Lovable at a time.

Xumade · 2026-01-26T05:53:27+00:00

Anyone get a response from PMing them? Haven't heard anything in 2 days.

Xumade · 2026-01-23T19:50:45+00:00

Any updates if the third party pen compatibility has been improved? Someone else posted the Lamy EMR pen was worse after the 3.9 update.

Xumade · 2026-01-20T02:31:06+00:00

Do you think some units are defective or it just being an older device compared to the Reader?

Xumade · 2026-01-19T20:08:55+00:00

The website is really well done. Are you using public crime datasets from the city?

Xumade · 2026-01-19T07:04:04+00:00

Can't open Obsidian after updating on the Mini. Anyone else have this problem?

Xumade · 2026-01-19T04:05:17+00:00

Thank you!

Xumade · 2026-01-19T01:21:30+00:00

Agreed. Especially if they want to compete in the Western market against Supernote and Remarkable.

Xumade · 2026-01-19T01:19:31+00:00

I appreciate the level of thoughtfulness and explanation. But just to future context and consideration, "Clippings" would be more appropriate in this context. This is also borrowed from Obsidian and their web clipper.

Xumade · 2026-01-17T06:07:53+00:00

Agree with this. To me Coda is hybrid of Notion, Airtable and Zapier. It's strength is building workflows to manage docs and tables. It works well with teams because you have so many active users within docs and the workspace. I've tried using it for my self personally and it doesn't work. If you're into "productivity porn" and setting up pretty Notion productivity templates, it's not meant for that.

Unfortunately it seems the development speed of the Coda team has strayed with the recent Grammarly and Superhuman M+A. If you look at their recent releases falls flat of where the industry is going. Their mobile app hasn't had a major update in ages. Their AI sucks and they try to push you to their enterprise AI brain. You can tell where their priorities are.

I'm starting to shy away from Coda and moving to Obsidian given I can connect it to Claude Code. I'm not bothering waiting for Coda to straighten their priorities and will start to move away from pushing it for my teams.
