uGrow [1] by Philips is a similar app with another UX (I leave the better to others to judge). It has some options to connect with IoT devices for automated logging. Disclaimer: sat next to the guys who made this at some point in time. Disc

Thanks. Seems they did some good work indeed. Though it takes time before they get back the trust they lost over this.

After being introduced to the MongoDB stale read issue in 2015 [1] we abandoned MongoDB and never looked back. Anyone knows if this is resolved in the latest versions? [1] https://aphyr.com/posts/322-jepsen-mongodb-stal

Congrats on completing a side project to a point you can show it. Just curious, what did you decide to make this project instead of using one of the numerous existing options? It looks beautiful from the landing page!

>Think world-class. Think turn-key. Think B2B2C. But don't think all three at the same time. In generic, I see multiple versions of x,y,z, but not at the same time. Those last words really work marketing magic.

+1 for ios. In addition, it feels slower than regular HN. No actual benchmarks though. Checking https://github.com/clintonwoo/hackernews-react-graphql/blob/... it might be on purpose though. Toggle code is co

Note it might not be the greed of the hospital staff. Instead pharmaceutical companies might be charging ridiculous amounts for medication and operation supplies. In addition, a hospital is like a company. It must try to break even. Hospita

My (somewhat educated) guess: 1. Hospital staff bills less per hour 2. They typically run cheaper systems (not top of the line but specifically made for India/Asia or refurbished. Can be up to 1/3rd of costs of western world syste

If you have a single account and all people running the demo share a session that is already fine. Even if other users add all sort of things that's fine. Just reset the account state every hour or every day to start afresh.

Apart from the comment on personal information, which I totally agree with (came here to comment just that), no free demo will diminish the people who try. Every product demo should have at the very least a demo account or other means to tr

The problem is you don't need to convince me. I could easily switch to org mode. It's the generic public that concerns me. You have to admit most people use stars as bullets. Even languages like wiki do. But also things like oneno

The problem is that while I do know my setup, I can't trust that of my colleagues. You'd be surprised how many engineers even run without proper tooling. I.e. Are used to things like bare UltraEdit or Notepad++ for editing these k

Call it blasphemy but in my opinion the markdown is easier to read than the orgmode in your examples. Especially when you think away your syntax highlighting. Markdown is not just for short notation over html, it is also for readability of

For me the native version is stunningly good. Both on desktop and mobile devices. It loads tremendously fast, has the correct font types and no smuck. The only sidestep I sometimes make is to Boreal[1][2] as a native ios app. It has a more
