   Very useful for editing scripts/interview videos.

   Coming from a video editing background, Descript might take some getting used to. But once you figure it out, it speeds up your editing (especially interviews/long-form voiceover). The captions are very nice to work with, but a bit limited in terms of styles. There are a lot more caption styles, transitions, and effects in CapCut, but Descript excels in simplicity and speed.

   The saved layouts (you can make your own) are very good if you want to create a bunch of videos on different topics with the same design scheme or branding.

• A macOS app that blurs your screen when you slouch

  I love this, but I’d rather have an indicator in the menu bar, an app notification, or maybe a nice flow around the "notch" like NotchNook. (https://lo.cafe/notchnook) Can't really afford to play with an app that would have such an obvious hit on productivity and mental clarity. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Stripe blocks small dev sales and wants to refund $100k in legit purchases

  I wondered how the webpage https://lo.cafe/notchnook managed to sell $100k in download. I mean one cannot even zoom in on the screenshot, there's no list of features. Then I saw the tool was reviewed on, for example https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/21/24202914/notchnook-mac-app-dynamic-island-iphone recently. That might explain the sudden success. For a payment provider it must have looked unusual (their decision... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
