Can I use Cloudflare R2 and Cloudflare CDN to serve HLS video segments? I always hear about ToS issues with Cloudflare and video. I can never seem to find a straight answer.
> Over time, Cloudflare’s network became larger and more robust and its portfolio broadened to include services like Stream, Images, and R2. These services are explicitly designed to allow customers to serve non-HTML content like video, images, and other large files hosted directly by Cloudflare.
> Video and large files hosted outside of Cloudflare will still be restricted on our CDN, but we think that our service features, generous free tier, and competitive pricing (including zero egress fees on R2) make for a compelling package for developers that want to access the reach and performance of our network.
Feedback: The home page's horizontal carousels/reels lack trackpad scrolling functionality. Interaction is limited to the arrow buttons on the side. To enhance user experience, it would be beneficial to make them scrollable via trackpad, similar to the Apple Store website.[0]
Thank you! It was pricey, but not as bad as it could've been. I pre-ordered it a month before .app became available as a TLD, and bought it on the first day of availability (May 2018!). I've been planning on building this for some time :-P
Re carousel feedback - thank you! We've talked about this but have been prioritizing some other features ahead of it. That said, your feedback helps us prioritize higher. Keep the feedback coming, the more the better! Also if you want to connect offline, lmk.
Just to 2nd it. I came to the comments first, but after visiting the site, it does feel unnatural. Also to pile on, having to multi-click the next button one at a time per app feels tedious.
Seeing how you are at this stage though, color me very impressed. I've just never paid attention to PWAs, so seeing them available like this gave me a totally different (positive) consideration for them. I would love to see numbers of use just to see how widely used PWAs are. This isn't an idea for the UI for popularity per app, but just for PWA in general. Just in terms of if this is something I should be considering. Great job and good luck!
Agree on the carousel. The buttons are small and clunky — if you miss them you get a page you don't want. Just use a div with overflow:auto for native browser scroll.
I'm going through this very thing now. I'm focused on getting the backend features working, but getting pressure to make the tiny tweaks to the UI. Once you open the UI to actual users, priorities quickly get rearranged. The UI complaints are the punch in the "everyone has a game plan until they get punched in the face" phrase.
My team and I have been using Raycast for over a year and we have been delighted with the experience. I particularly enjoy the floating notes, window management, and the built-in Store for extensions.
I was also part of the Raycast AI beta, which gives me access to OpenAI's Language Model no matter what application I'm using. I use it to manipulate, generate, and explain text on a daily basis.
For me, the $8/month for Raycast Pro is a great deal. It offers extra features and instant access to OpenAI LLMs, no matter where I'm working on my Mac. I'm hopeful that this will help me incorporate AI into my workflows faster and increase my productivity.
Congratulations to the Raycast Team for this new product offering! Keep up the good work.
