I don't get it either.

Would be really good if Google Docs could support custom brand fonts by letting their customers upload them in the admin console.

Exactly. PC manufacturers have so many SKUs and are changing so many things from one model to another that their brand doesn't mean anything anymore. Buying a Dell, HP, Lenovo or Asus branded laptop doesn't say anything meaningful about what you're actually going to get. Unlike Apple (or Framework) where the brand still means something.


We could finally write programs for the browser in any language that compiles to WebAssembly. And even mix and match multiple languages. It would be amazing.


The author mentions they already use and pay for Google Workspace: Why not use Google Chat? It is now much better than it used to be.


It sounds like it is the neovim or Emacs of coding agents.


I came here to say the same thing. It's basically _is_ Emacs. Heavily configurable tool, text-focused UI, primary interaction with a minibuffer ..er.. box to prompt at the bottom of the screen, package distribution mechanism, etc etc.

With Emacs modes like agent-shell.el available and growing, why not invest in learning a tool that is likely to survive and have mindshare beyond the next few months?


This is excellent. I’m looking forward to use this instead of DNS-01.


Same. That’s why Go is such a great tool.


Hard disagree. We use both in my company. Google Chat is definitely better than Teams for actual collaboration: it's easier to track unread messages in "Home" (it's the "inbox"), and channels (called "spaces") are much better designed (they are conceptually closer to Slack's channels). Also, it's not crashing all the time. What's missing: the message editor doesn't support nested bulleted lists, we can't archive a space/channel.
