This looks cool. I just started using MindNode yesterday [0] which is a similar tool (although it takes a very different approach - it's more visual). I wasn't sure of the effectiveness of these sort of tools as I usually just use

It might be different for you having come from the predecessor, but I found it quite hard to get started with the App Platform. There is a conflict between DO's attempt to have a web interface that allows you to create and manage apps,

Interesting (or maybe not?) that the App Platform and Spaces pricing hasn't changed. I've been migrating as many projects as possible over to App Platform + Managed DB + Spaces recently. Although it's been frustrating due to

Who is this for? Is it for music professionals who can actually record music (or ideas) on the go? Or is it for wealthy enthusiasts who have cash to throw around at a fun piece of kit? It's a beautiful piece of hardware from a design-f

How is the day-to-day experience of browsing the web with JS disabled by default (genuine question)? I feel like I would attempt to browse JS-free and then get frustrated with the number of pages that don't function without it. Possibl

Thanks for posting, that makes sense.

For the record, this isn't intended as a "see what Brexit did" post, and posting "the situation in millennial" is childish and patronizing.

This is an interesting project. I'm not sure I'd pay $1000/year in the current configuration as I don't have any projects that could justify it, but I would certainly pay to get insight into how other devs are setting up
253.
by aosaigh 5y ago
$1000 is potentially 6-8 hours of developer time. A well thought out boilerplate repo could easily save that time if it ticks the right boxes (I've no idea about this project in particular btw).

Also using Digital Ocean App Platform. It's good once you understand it and get up-and-running, but their documentation and interface isn't good (yet). I would recommend trying to use Dockerfiles and their doctl CLI tool, as the w

Twitter is almost useless now unless you login with an account (that requires a phone number). I'm not sure who the subset of Tor users are who are comfortable logging into a service such as Twitter?

I’ve be been waiting for the refreshed Mac Minis for a few months now, with the intention of getting one to replace my laptop and Caldigit hub combo. I was hoping they would be announced at Tuesday’s event but this seems to suggest it might

PR fluff. There’s no response. Instead it’s being used as an opportunity to market GitHub.

Can you explain why?

Can you elaborate? Is that on files served from the App Platform CDN itself or files that are hosted on Digital Ocean Spaces? I'm trying out App Platform for a few projects at the moment

Do people still recommend Heroku? I'm looking for a IAAS/PAAS for "simple" web apps and websites. At the moment I'm using Digital Ocean App Platform and am relatively happy so far, but I can see that it's prett

As someone has used Django extensively over the last 10 years for countless projects, I think that these are exaggerated claims of “harmful” defaults, particularly examples 2 to 6. Furthermore, this: > As you can see, Django doesn’t have

This is great to see. Very nicely documented project and a fantastic result. Encouraging to see people with little past experience doing projects like this. I’m in the process of planning a self-build cabin in the woods, so also diving into

I also recently (last 5 years) started climbing with a similar fear of heights. I’ve learned more about myself from climbing then almost anything else I’ve done. I came to realise that it’s ok and normal to be scared, and most other climber

Thanks. I'm actually checking Gitbook out as we speak. I actually don't mind the team using Git and Markdown, as long as it's easy. In Gitbook's case it seems like it is, the editing is easy.

I think if you treat Instagram (or Twitter/TikTok/...) as a professional tool and distance yourself personally from it, it can probably be a great place to promote your work and keep up-to-date with your industry. By creating boun

I find it hilarious that users are complaining about the UX. It's an advent calendar! It says so in the subtitle "A Festive Countdown". Did these same users complain to their parents if/when they got an advent calendar f

Can you explain why it's bad UX if it's intended to be an advent calendar?
