A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There are lots of better versions that exist. Unfortunately they haven't received the same amount of traction, which is important for this type of app. Here's one: https://fire-app.net/
How is this any better? From the site it appears to also be closed source with no security audit and using push notifications.
It's better because you can download it directly from the site. And also they have a web version.
That only solves one problem, unfortunately. Other than that, the FIRE app seems to have the same problems as the ICEBlock app.
