@ftrain this looks super slick and i wanna try it! I confess to being dubious about "Aboard uses amazing AI technology…" though?

@ftrain ...lmao, i already found a bug. I'll get a screencast if i can. I'm good at breaking things accidentally!

@ftrain Here's a dropbox link to my short screencast! (Sorry, i hate video, but it's one of those bugs that's very difficult to WRITE UP.) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/b3a7m7fb9e2zmxay2c1ys/aboard_bug.mkv?rlkey=kbpmw9hcy5fq7rdiq571noabv&dl=0

@adrienne Oh yeah this is an amazing bug I have sent it straight to the eng team who say "Excellent video"
Show threadjust adrienneAug 31, 2023
@ftrain I'm glad! I'm an "oh my god i hate video, give me text" person myself, but it would've taken so long to write this up and give them any idea how to replicate it, so I figured video was the lesser evil.

@ftrain looks like this should be perfect for idea boards for home projects. Thanks for making it!

@ftrain well actually the variable DAYJOB ideally should be escaped with double quotes and some brackets … s/$DAYJOB/“${DAYJOB}”

Jkjk been following the progress of Aboard via the podcast and loving every episode. Congrats on the launch.

@ftrain y'all converted to "X" faster than making a fediverse account?
and didn't even link to your own dedicated podcast

@ftrain excited to check this out! Small detail when using Sign Up with Apple - it says “Prod Web Auth” instead of the site name. And the first welcome page is cropped on mobile, but I see mobile isn’t complete yet.

@ftrain congratulations on your launch! How do you differentiate from AirTable? Simpler? More AI?
Show threadPaul FordSep 25, 2023
@resing muuuch simpler like more for the use cases that used to be solved by google sheets and WhatsApp, then building out from there
