yeah i think polar should fix that? so the discount codes won't fix if they're wrong case?

yeah i have told them.

Exactly, the discount has to be exactly as the it has been typed on the dashboard while creating it. thats why I wrote ( uppercase ) next to the code and on the checkout.

that's bad. in that case, i'd auto apply the discount

it is, it looks so tacky. Thank you for taking the time1

there's a psychological effect that causes a dopamine release when users enter that discount code manually. sometimes, we just have to add an extra step for user's minds to register that positive association more evidently.

yeah, that is true... but, isnt this a bit of too much of friction regarding the capitalization?

electron won’t build without a windows certificate. I guess i have to just skip signing for windows then?
When I didn’t have the macOS signing setup, the Mac app wouldn’t let users install it without going to system preferences and changing a permission. Is windows not that strict?

Why not just skip signing then try it on a windows vm to see what happens?

On Windows, It's less inconvenient to open unsigned apps but I think not everyone would know how to do it as it's kinda hidden in the warning window when they open the app. Notice the "more info" label, that is where it's hidden.

If you’re looking for first principles:

And if you wanna design eye catchy interfaces:
Learn by copying. Replicate designs that you love, and slowly try new things

If you want to learn design to be able to launch better products:
Use UI Kits like shadcn / magic ui/ tailwindui. don’t over complicate

First principles was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks mate

It's better to add the details without hiding them under a button.
If there's no option but to hide, consider changing the info icon to a plus Icon and make it bigger.

react-pdf uses pdf.js under the hood but it’s setup isn’t straight forward. maybe cause I’m working with pdfs for the first time

Love it! Knowing about the right tools, companies, for certain things also help a lot. For ex: what’s the best tool for payroll, and who’s the best service company for legal work.
If it comes from a trusted source, it’s a major headache gone
