What if I didn't know the words yet? Usage of totally unintuitive icons is obviously wrong. Colors can be helpful too. Colored text - not as concise as recognizable icons.
Another non-negligible advantage of icon is, that it is language agnostic. Not everyone is fluent in language they have to use.
There could be factories manufacturing your own design, just one piece. It won't be economical, but can be done. But parts are still the same - chunks and boards of wood joined together by the same few methods. Maybe some other materials thrown into the mix.
With software it is similar: Different products use (mostly) the same building blocks, functions, libraries, drivers, frameworks, design patterns, ux patterns.
That is not a technical constraint and may be automated if it made sense financially.
Same with software - for some time software won't be all designed, coded, tested, deployed to production without human supervision or approval. But the pieces in between are more and more filled by AI, as are the logistics of designing, manufacturing and distributing sofas.
I turned on this overspend and limited the spending to $20. A day later I checked my spending, I had used "295%" of my limit. Almost $60. No idea why it didn't respect my setting.
pro is the $20, right? It runs out quickly, especially using opus. But what do you expect for that kind of money? For serious work at least Max $100 is needed.
I spend not even 20 monthly when using gemini cli.
Claude's subscription model is forcing you to space out equal sessions unnaturally during day - but you don't work like that. You work N hours of day and then go to have personal life/sleep - meaning you sometimes code more and sometimes you don't. Forcing you to do only little work and then lock you out for extra usage will make you pay much more when actually using the model much less - because the times you are not coding would even out or even benefit you in credits
Tl;dr - it's claude's greedy credit system that sucks, i am not going to pay $100 for overcoming these weird limits, i would much rather use gemini cli
I like Gemini CLI and I got a lot of value from their free tier, and I'm now on the $20 sub. But it is a level bellow the usefulness of Claude Opus 4.6.
As an ADHD person, the landing page is absolutely anti-ADHD - a lot of stuff with basically no info about what it really does. It should have been all concise and tangible information, simple example, demo. Instead just a lot of marketing fluff. I spent all the focus budget there and I have no idea what it does.
Perhaps try to go directly into the app store, I think that copy and the screenshots is a lot more straight forward. Our care team has skewed the landing page to be a bit more of "show the benefit" rather than the functionality (since a lot of the functionality looks like chat bots) but we can definitely take another look through it and I love the idea of including a demo! For now, the youtube demo is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDSDxyXv6i4
I am going to second the comment you are replying to. Strongly.
Why are you (indirectly by omission) asking a cohort of people who need information to be direct, to redirect? That's a serious market/message mismatch.
> Our care team has skewed the landing page to be a bit more of "show the benefit" rather than the functionality
That is what the snake oil industry does. Or enterprise sales. Even cults. ("Look at what we say these people say about us!" "We have a solution to your problem! [restated several times in different ways]!"
I am baffled by the term "care team" in this context.
I find that being concrete and credible, instead of asking people who don't know you for trust and unrewarded interest out of the gate, is a much better way to communicate something that is real.
If you do have a way to help ADHD people, I wish you luck communicating that. As an ADHD person myself, I have system creation/adoption fatigue. You seem to be aware of this. So be very direct about exactly what you do that helps, so someone that has tried many things, i.e. a sophisticated customer by necessity, can judge anything you say. (As they say in science, non-testable claims are not worth much. When marketing solutions to serious problems, this relates to the first thing you show people.)
Fair, feedback heard from multiple people here on: being more direct, concrete, credible. I'll take this back for the next iteration of the landing page!
A huge intro post, like a text wall. That's everything an adhd person is trying to avoid.
Started the app. A couple of "motivational speeches". Asking some questions I don't even understand. Answered randomly, just to see what the app is offering. At the end: account required.
That's where you first lost me.
So I tried the website. First sentence just some sale-pitch-speech:
> Built from lessons learned after 80,000+ ADHD coaching sessions, Indy gives you the structure you need, daily support that keeps you accountable, and momentum you can actually sustain.
On the right some nothing-saying screenshot. Scrolling down. More text. Buzzword-Bingo. "Journey". "Build a vision." "Stop dreaming about your future. Start building it."
Great, another one of those catchy, fancy offers pretending to help you. Another pretty website from the default vercel-ish website-builder.
No offense - perhaps it's my asperger. This does not seem helpful at all. Maybe it is. Then it's on me.
I need clear, focussed messages. No noise. No modern interface. Form follows function. Not the other way around.
After you sign up, you're asked to spend 10-15 minutes creating a "Lifeline." Which, despite its name, does not appear to be a lifeline of any kind, but rather a timeline of my life, except it also strips dates out, so... just a list of events in no particular order.
Unfortunately - I've got ADHD. I'm not going to spend the next 10 minutes telling the app the biggest facts about my life. Well, actually - I tried to, then I put the phone down to do something else, and when I came back the 'page' had refreshed and the four things I had entered were back down to just the first one.
(Why do you even want them? The app hasn't even explained how this will help. It's barely even tried to explain what the app will actually DO.)
This comment might seem harsh, but this feedback is gold. I agree completely, matched my experience reading through the page, and I was diagnosed in my mid-40s with ADHD.
I wonder if the folks doing marketing are neurotypical, but they are trying to target a population that's neurodivergent? Just spitballing since I have no info, but an interesting topic.
I disagree with the vibecoding take. Its a new skill that absolutely has a place in developers skillset and it may be of great importance for some kinds of projects. You can learn so much by vibecoding little projects that otherwise would never see the light of day.
If you have inference running on this new 128GB RAM Mac, wouldn't you still need another separate machine to do the manual work (like running IDE, browsers, toolchains, builders/bundlers etc.)? I can not imagine you will have any meaningful RAM available after LLM models are running.
No? First of all you can limit how much of the unified RAM goes into VRAM, and second, many applications don't need that much RAM. Even if you put 108 GB to VRAM and 16 to applications, you'll be fine.
