Last week, we 70x-ed rendering speeds, both times by replacing ffmpeg with the WebCodecs API. We finally got around to doing a blog post: re.video/blog/faster-renderi… On my Macbook, I'm now able to render 60s of a full-HD, 30fps video, in 14 seconds. Pretty excited about this!

"You can have a hit like the best chorus or the best verse or whatever. But if one thing's out of tune in that song, that's the only thing someone's gonna remember from that song and then your song is done. So same thing applies to a product" - @iqramband jly.co/PEg1DR

Thanks for the props Drew!
Gotta say, @aaroncohn_nyc, you knocked @getrealnice out of the park. I just built a simple, good looking website and published to a custom domain from my phone in less than 5 minutes. Absolute 🔥

Check out our coffee shop: getrealnice.com 😜
"small batch software" makes you feel the same way you feel walking into your favorite local coffee shop ☕️ -they clearly obsess about the quality details -you're kinda friends with the people running it -it's a little weird/fun, but in a good way let's do more of this.

someone said the nicest thing we could ask for about @getrealnice yesterday… it meant a lot because @eartothenoise and I always talk about building “small-batch software.” where you almost feel like you’re friends with the ppl who made it. where it’s clear they’re sweating the details. and there’s just enough silliness/weirdness that you know it couldn’t have been made by a huge co. 🧵

tl:dr; we couldn’t find a website builder we didn't hate (and that was as easy as Google Docs) — so we made one. we're finally ready to share @getrealnice, and pretty sure it's the most delightful site builder ever made ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Replying to @awilkinson
make a realnice -> getrealnice.com super clean, and it’s the only where you can connect a custom domain on the free plan

Well, need to delete this app, because the policies are getting out of control. My website is on my profile and will always have where to find me! Good luck everyone!

Probably the worst time to practice drumming with a friend is while on a plane and everyone is waiting to deplane
