Hmm I’m not sure about the usecase. The same problem has been around for nearly 2 decades and the only other information exchange method that screens are used for (except human readable stuff) are normal QR codes.

Nothing else sticked around.

If you want to sync larger amount of files reguarily you usually take something like WebDAV, Syncthing, Cloud Storage…

If you want to just drop files once then there is USB or wireless transmission like NFC or Bluetooth.

Or you just scan some QR code that relays you to a download site.

Your app needs to be present on both devices and that’s a big requirement because it is not out of the box there - especially in air gapped environments.

It might fit a niche but that niche will be extremely small.

Sounds like § 307 StGB

0 pity for those self harming people

WTF a screensaver on a TV that requires money? Is this like a free money glitch for doing nothing? Just bundle a few free images, buy them at a reasonable price (not $80k/year) or tell your company photographer to take them.

Also how often do you see a screensaver on a TV: Short answer almost never because a) you’re watching stuff or b) you turn the device off

Also who buys this Roku trash in the first place? Apple users? Just plugin a laptop/PC via HDMI & Co or slap some Android/Linux TV device/Raspberry with Kodi behind the TV.

I’m pretty sure this is just an experiment:

• Don’t break anything that works
• The website version of the app can’t be replaced
• The normal discord app is not that memory hungry it’s usually below 1 GB for me, maybe consider optimizing your existing codebase?
• A web based client allows for easier customization, better styling and easier creation of modifications

Everything nobody talks about because it usually does it’s job perfectly.

Too high level - real devs code in assembler

I write code

Ah of course, now it all makes sense. If you let mentally disabled CEOs create a launcher it will always suck.

Again Steam wins by doing basically nothing.

No, I prefer using my brain or other things that usually work 100x more efficient without hallucinations and don’t required a shit ton of RAM that are way to expensive to buy right now.

Os provided password manager

That’s the neat point. You don’t have to use one when you enter your normal login credentials and the average user like does not use one.

But with passkeys you are forced to use one and the average user will use the default one of their vendor.

most platforms don’t do it since it adds little value

Yeah because they obviously don’t care about security (like machine compromise - that’s why there is 2FA in the first place), which contradicts all advantages of passkeys.

Do you really believe your average Apple, Google/Android or Microsoft/Windows user use these?

I’m telling you why passkeys are garbage:

Case 1

• Login to website
• Maybe use 2FA device
• Website creates session cookie

Never have to login again for the next few months

Case 2

• Go to website
• Use password manager to auto fill credentials

Click like 2 buttons and you’re done

Case 3

• Create passkey
• Passkey is stored on propietary, trust me bro, “we will never share this with the NSA or FBI” Apple or something account where you can’t export them
• User becomes dependent on cloud provider
• User will easier forget their real login data because they don’t use them
• User is fucked if account get’s locked/deleted
• User can still be hacked by simply compromising machine
• No 2FA

Conflict of interest

Not updating stuff + Public sign ups enabled (did you even read the setup guide?) + Unrestricted internet access

Yeah I wonder what could possibly go wrong…

But great writeup
