Great question! Web apps can offer better performance/use less resources if the computer app of the same service is just an electron version/wrapper. It's also good if you want to open multiple instances of the same app if that's not possible within the native app. I personally also like/find it a lot easier to customize web pages with custom css/arc boosts/ublock origin/userscripts when compared to modifying clients (which depending on the app can go against some companies' TOS too).

Never expected it to be acquired soon after this video was posted 😂 but for the time being Bento seems to be its own separate product despite that

Thanks man! I replaced the default icons with a shortcut from the shortcuts app (essentially making a bookmark with a custom icon)-hope that helps 😁

Glad to be back! Hoping to make more videos this year 😄

@@PhilipZJY should we expect any kind of discord server you will be making for the subscribers / community ?

I’d be open to making one if there’s enough interest!

Hey Asfaque, unfortunately I still haven’t got any invites for Amie - I’ve actually mostly switched back to Apple Calendar as I find it a little more reliable and prefer the integration with my Apple contacts, as well as having richer features for adding attachments. I’ve found myself not using the to-dos from Amie so aside from it looking a little prettier, I’m starting to prefer Apple Calendar over it once again!

@@PhilipZJY Thank you so much for sharing it. I also find myself going to apple calender and even notes. Much easier and simpler.

That's definitely true with many chromium browsers especially compared to Safari, but from my personal usage I've been able to have all day battery life with Arc running with lots of tabs so it will depend on what kinds of extensions you have running, the amount of tabs you have, and any other apps you have open!

Hey Lucas, thanks for the kind words! I don’t actually work in tech - I mainly do health science research/am writing my thesis, but I am definitely thinking of doing a video on my workflow for my tech-related hobbies such as music production. Would love to hear any suggestions for anything particular you'd like to see though! TickTick is honestly a great option for task management as well, my only gripe with it is that it’s a paid subscription but it’s got a solid calendar and it’s actually a lot better than Amie with tasks because of the scheduling/habits/ability to add photos to notes

@@PhilipZJY Saw your Bento after the video, and contrary to your channel name, you do study quite a lot of things. This way, I would love to see how you are able to pull off, productive people (even more those that tackle different areas) are very inspiring, so you could explore more of that in your channel. Just a suggestion obviously, good luck! And yes, I would keep TickTIck if it was not for the price tag :/

Great minds think alike! Knowing how I am, I’ll probably keep looking for interesting apps/services to streamline my workflow more

Thanks Andrew! The animated b-roll is from One Piece and some films by Shinkai 😄

haha omg, I just saw the bit with my name mention, this is LIT :D

Appreciate it Khaled!

Yeah hopefully the Beeper team keeps up with their goal of getting through their waitlist by June. I would definitely try emailing the Amie team because it seems like someone else in the comments was able to get an invite that way!

@@PhilipZJY ooh, well i'm gonna try that. you've got great videos man!

@@blaroe Appreciate it Blaroe! Hope you get to try out Amie soon 🙏

Thanks for your support Huy! Feel free to share your Bento when you do get around to creating it, would love to see it <3

Thanks! Keep an eye out on the Arc/BCNY KZbin channel since they're posting updates on the Windows build which is slated to come this Fall if they stay on schedule 🤞

@@PhilipZJY Thx for the info

Thanks for the kind words André!

For sure! I’d be happy to when I get some invites

@@PhilipZJY could I have one too when you get invites, ty!

shoot an email to care (AT) amie (DOT) so (yt email filter) and they can hook you up!

@@Shrek5when Of course - it might also be a good idea to try out what coredoescode just suggested!

@@PhilipZJY 👍

Thanks Finn!

Hey Khaled, glad you enjoyed! I'll have a vid uploaded today that covers the new boosts system in Arc, and it should be a lot easier to use than the older boosts version!

@@PhilipZJY you are awesome, I can't wait!

For sure! Alfred definitely has its advantages over Raycast like making custom workflows easily (in the paid version) and a file searching experience, but Raycast is free and has more community plugins for newer services.

Hey André, glad you enjoyed the vid! In short, I think that BitWarden is better than OnePassword from a security standpoint and that Amie I prefer accessing through the web version. However, depending on how much you value convenience, I think that OnePassword and Fantastical have a slight edge on that front. I do think I will make a video sometime about Bitwarden/security in general and Amie (but it would be better if it is out of Beta so then everyone can access it!)

Hey Nathan, here’s an invite to Arc! arc.net/gift/6c83cb22

Hey gyiriiiii, I haven't seen any abnormal CPU usage over other chromium browsers I've used on my mac. Are you on an intel-based machine? Arc doesn't play well with Intel Macs, but performance hits can also be from extensions you have running in the background-try disabling your extensions to try to see if any of them might be the cause. I would definitely visit their help center/contact their support team though if there are specific issues you're running into!

Thanks Huy!

I think that's an interesting use case, Arc definitely takes a different approach to organization. I think Vivaldi and Arc will end up staying different enough because the direction they're taking seems quite different. Have you tried playing around with easels in Arc though? You can do live webpage embeds so they can take up as little or as much room as you'd like - might be something worth exploring!

Thanks Luis! Arc is only getting better with each weekly update so I might have to make an updated video at some point

You got this Barry 😤
