I'm still looking for something like paint.net on MacOS, any recommendations?


Pixelmator - 1000%. Native MacOS - quick to load and very intuitive layer-based paint interface. It's a one-time purchase for $50 but they used to run sales.

They were bought by Apple recently but still sell it. I moved to it when I migrated away from Photoshop. It doesn't have some of the fancier stuff like puppet mesh warp, but for an all-around editor I'd argue its unrivaled in the Mac space.

EDIT: Krita is also great (and free) but it feels more geared towards digital painting.


Pinta is the closest I've found, though I've gotten pretty familiar with paint.net and there's small differences that make me feel slower using Pinta.

I'm glad to see entrants in this space!


I liked Krita a little more than Pinta as a replacement, but for the same reasons it feels slow.

It's really a shame the Paint.net author is so devoted to being Windows only.


Very actively developing this project, so hopefully it'll become a suitable replacement relatively soon. Please open GitHub issues or PRs if you have specific requests, happy to help.


Please list them, especially the ones with managed services..


Hetzner, OVH and Upcloud. All of them have object storage, managed Redis,Postgres and K8S.

Most of the time the missing things are homegrown SaaS offerings of big 3 and identity services. You will not find equivalent IAM or BigQuery in indie clouds.


Hetzner has k8s? I only see VMs and block storage.


Scaleway as well

Why do I need sqlmesh if i use dbt/snowflake?


You don’t need to. dbt/sqlmesh are competitive. I just like the model of sqlmesh over dbt but dbt is much more dominant.


just what they did with V6.


I'd love to see support for odbc, any plans?


Do you mean SQL Server? If that's the case, ingestr is already able to connect to Microsoft SQL Server and use it both as a source and a destination.


I fully agree, we even know the reasons why we're not acting, but then...


i never got Chromecast to work with it. There are issues, i tried from browser and Android app.


So 1 Month becomes 2 years? I don't think that's a good rule.


1 month of your own concentrated work? 2 quarters easily, because at this scale:

- You’ll get a bunch stakeholders each requesting a different format of progress reporting.

- You’ll get pulled into dealing with a small but disruptive emergency that requires unique expertise.

- A dependency will change in a way incompatible with your work in progress.

- You’ll hand off the half done project to the new hire.

- You’ll need to rediscover what the project is about after the new hire hands it back.


Not that I've used this extensively, but months would likely increase to quarters.

And if you're estimating something to the lengths of months, you're already into project management territory size, rather than broken down to development/delivery sizes... The amount of unknown unknowns and other uncertainty certainly warrant happily estimating years length, surely.
