That's really nice, usually when I start playing with something like this the UI glitches out or is just un-intuitive but this one is pretty solid, nice work.

This seems like a great idea - is there some reason this doesn't exist?

Glad to hear it, I've been a big DO cheerleader and this is definitely making me re-think things, thanks for the write-up.

Whether OP has backups or not, this is a very poor response from DO - they screwed up, not OP, and the compensation they've offered is nowhere near commensurate with the size of the screw up. Deleting customers data in an unrecoverable

Agree with this feedback, I think this idea has legs, but you need to be really clear about the process on both sides. Easiest way to do this would be to have some kind of sample workflow - what the client does, how it flows to the tester,

My problem is with the crusade to make everything HTTPS - normal HTTP involved no ongoing setup, and didn't put the ongoing functionality of your website in someone else's hands. As I've said above, LetsEncrypt is sponsored b

Your definition of permanent is different to mine. LetsEncrypt relies on corporate sponsorship that could disappear at any time, then where would you be? Back to jumping through the same hoops you had to jump through before

Again, HTTP had no ongoing cost, HTTPS has an ongoing cost

HTTP has a zero ongoing cost, HTTPS has a non-zero ongoing cost.

Your second option seems to suggest that the way to make building SPA's easy is to stop building SPA's and go back to building web apps the way we did in 2005?

If it only took you a couple of weeks to build it isn't a complex production app.

That's an optimistic view, but think (late) capitalism is realising that it's putting it's own short term profits in jeopardy, and it's just good business to recognise that. It's pretty obvious there's a growin

I agree, but I would say that Google are performance addicts because of their scale, where seconds actually count. Most apps are never going to be 'web scale', and most of the time there's no trade off to make. Either the dev

My argument is "most sites need JS as a core requirement of their UX". Whether they need 1Mb of it is very doubtful and that's what the original post is about.

Although the Wikipedia page may say Web 2.0 was about user generated content and tagging, from a web dev point of view it was about building rich interfaces and using XHR to update content without a full page refresh. Full size images had n

There was never a time in the modern web era when JavaScript wasn't widely used. You'd have to go way back pre-2000 to find a time when popular websites didn't use JS at all. The Cambrian explosion of 'Web 2.0' woul

Your 'send me a PDF' popup has the background fade div above the form so it's impossible to fill in the form (without opening dev tools).

I didn't like it, and after about a decade I went back to being a developer. Management may suit you but, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, even if you're at a 'good' company you'll probably spend a lot of your

It would be nice to be able to launch it with a blank template as it seems to be flexible enough to work with anything that doesn't need config e.g. Vue ( https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-ng1kyn?file=index.js )

If I was a UX student looking for something to redesign Ableton Live is one of the last programs I'd ever look at - it's a classic of UI design. If you want to show off your UX chops, choose something that's broken e.g. 95% o

The detail that amazed me is the lack of visibility of the issue in reporting tools - it's all very well changing the terms, but not giving your customer any ability to see what is increasing the bill seems massively unfair.

Interesting that everybody has instantly forgotten TextMate, which was the original inspiration for Sublime, and also suffered from the 'single developer === single point of failure' issues as Sublime.

I think in this case the film works better than the story. It's not one of my favourites of Chiang's but the impact & consequences of Louise learning the heptapod language is far greater on film than it is in prose.
