- protomyth 10y agoIs there an RSS feed? The feed link doesn't seem to do anything.
- robbyking 10y agoAre you using Ghostery, uBlock, or something similar? One of those may be blocking sideloading of content.
- protomyth 10y agouBlock, but I turned it off with the same result. I'm not sure real sure why someone would side load and RSS feed.
- dfoxinator 10y agoRight now the feed is only available on desktop web and in both the Android and iOS app.
- degenerate 10y agoSmiled at a few things, but the whole 'feed' thing is a major turn-off. It's like eating cake with a straw. I'll stick to reddit and xkcd when I need a laugh.
- stared 10y agoIt reminds me http://codecrap.com/ http://codecrap.com/ Also - is it like this app is more like a reddit channel? (Or is there some more added value?)
- _jomo 10y agoSo this Website is nothing but a link to Google Play? The description there isn't very descriptive and the screenshots are just thumbnails that only let you guess the layout of the app. Since I don't have Google Play installed, I can't figure out what it is. Edit: Opening the site with a Desktop User-Agent I now see it seems to be a Twitter-like thing that can be used through a (Desktop) browser just fine. Providing an app for that is okay, but why force people to use that app? Many websites already annoy you with a big cover asking you to install their app where you have to click a tiny little x to actually use the website. That's already bad UX, but why on earth would you not allow me to use the site with my Phone's browser at all? I'm now in a situation where I either need to install an App through Google's Play Store (which I can't), or switch my browser to Desktop mode and enjoy zooming and sideways scrolling (which I won't). That is just a horrible thing to do and people seriously need to stop doing it. [Feel free to submit this to devrant.io] Other than that, it seems like a fun site (although a couple subreddits might cover it as well).

- sendour23 10y agoI don't think subreddits would be good because there's too many losers like you on reddit.
- leppr 10y agoYou shouldn't clip the images (or at least not without some visual cue like fading), especially on a programming-related site where there's bond to be a lot of pictures of code and other text. This post: https://www.devrant.io/rants/59289 https://www.devrant.io/rants/59289 which is currently on the front page is a good example of why, it took me a while to figure out I was missing something.
- Washuu 10y agoYep! I was wondering what was going on. Then I clicked on it and was immediately presented with a pop up modal over the image. It only took two page views to add that site to my Javascript blacklist. There is also the problem when the image is squashed. It requires clicking on the image, which loads a new page with the image still squashed, and then clicking the image again to get it in a new tab.
- Deskwarrior 10y agoCool app!
- prats3112 10y agoOne of the best app on my phone!
- jumpshot44 10y agoGreat site and sharing community. Fun and hard core info. Founders are listening to the community and improving constantly.
- derFunk 10y agoInitial thought after installing: I'd love to see a SSO with Google/GitHub etc. Creating accounts is so 2012 ;)
- carlesfe 10y agoCool, just installed it. Reminds me of bash.org, is devRant inspired on it? Those were the days... ;)
- MadHatrix 10y agoBeen on for about a month. It's pretty bad ass.
