Glad you wrote this and saved me the effort, pretty much what I was thinking of jotting down

Indeed. I suppose it might make me less of a developer, but I’m not sure I find pure algorithmic work that fun Plus time is always hard to find.

Just a small thing, and totally just my own thoughts here that very well may not align with others, but the “email sign up” type part of your site.... I felt the message “no thanks I’m an introvert” & “go away” came off as passive aggre

Its a much bigger stretch to have companies change the underlying method of verification instead of the method of transport though ...

To be clear, I 100% support keybase, and if I thought there was a chance in hell of getting some other non-tech person to use it, I would put in the effort. I just don’t see myself being able to convince some recruiter, or HR person or some

I don’t, but I’ve rarely needed to send files etc to other hacker news users. I would LOVE it if I could use keybase to send a copy of my passport to companies (for example) which is nessesary for day to day life, and always done in a redic

In that position I would highlight the lack of tests as a problem. This can be done “nicely” if required. “I know there was probably time pressure but without tests only the super human awesome XYZ can safely make changes and littlenold me

ironic maybe, but quite possibly the author is dyslexic themselves and made the mistake easily? I can say from personal experience its never funny for the author.

Find an alternative approach to selling software, the benefits of managed software that SaaS offers but with the ease of use of adding a library to your code. No syncing data back and forth in order to really get the benifit

Am I missing something?? Sure you could be sued, and that might end the small business. But isn’t that what limited liability companies are for? Option 1: close it down through fear of something happening. Option 2: close it down if the wor

Interesting also, data portability also comes with individual responsibility, however I don’t believe most people would want that responsilibilty. Most SMEs outsource IT for this reason. I don’t think that’s a sustainable model at the indiv

Federation isn’t a feature, but the promise (although not explicitly guaranteed) of data portability and service inter-op is definitely a feature. For me at least. I’m not too fussed about a federated Facebook, but I’d be very interested in

That sounded kind of negative. Which i didn't mean it to be, I'm just confused. The client i really like, and I'm happy that its being open sourced. I recently tried to run it locally as a jump of point for a project i had in

Maybe I'm just missing something here, but I really can't figure out what Nylas (the api side) offers? Am i right in understanding that its essentially a Mailserver? AD / Gmail alternative kind of thing? or is it an API facad
