As a tinkerer, I didn't realize how much of a deal breaker those warnings could be for users. I'm glad ... ... notarized, it's a much smoother experience for the users now. Thanks for the tips about Sparkle

... Most AI features feel like gimmicks because they're a button looking for a reason to exist. Someone in a meeting said "we need AI" and three weeks later (or maybe hours now with Claude Code) there's a sparkle icon in the corner that summarizes things nobody asked to have summarized.

Comment from Maria Anosova (@maria_anosova): The willingness to dream and make my ideas a reality, to test hypotheses and move forward, without unnecessary bureaucracy or having to seek approval from superiors. And also a sparkle in my eyes that would be genuine and inspire my children. That happens when you do what you truly love, not just because you have to.

... well for B2C products, but our main focus right now is B2B cases. Comment from Dmitry Zakharov(@dmitry_zakharov_ai): @maria_anosova  This is exactly why we started building Naoma and why our investors at Ultra VC and Sparkle Ventures backed the bet.

... more trust than a rushed stack of half-baked ideas. People can feel when something s crafted with care, even if it s small. That first impression matters. Curious, how are you deciding what s worth that extra week vs. what gets cut? Comment from Mehedi(@mehedihassan): @aeromaniax   Totally agree with you, Constantine.
