Is there a landing page? I'm getting redirected to the invite page when opening openland.com I think few people (especially on HN) are okay with giving away their email without seeing at least a glimpse of what your app is doing.

I always found "rewriting history" misleading. Git is immutable by default, so you cannot "rewrite" the history. In fact, you are creating an "alternate history" (which the article mentions). While the differen

I have checked the accessibility for 20+ UI frameworks (not just React)[1]. I defenitely recommend Reakit[2], which is an accessibility-first React UI library. I should also check and include Reach UI from your list. [1] https://

I'm using such a "sticky" footer for a lot of my projects. At first, I was fine with a simple flexbox solution. Then I've tested this layout in IE11 (because it is known to have a lot of flexbox bugs). I've fixed it

Where did I apply it to everything? To falsify an argument you only need one counterexample. I'm happy with all the alternatives (as mentioned before), but I'm not happy with a claim that can be falsified with the first example.

> and provide more, like Posteo Thanks for mentioning some alternatives, but I've just checked the first example and it does not support custom domains (which Fastmail does), so it does not "provide more".

After getting a Windows Tablet, I was looking hard for a good epub/pdf reader with annotations. To my surprise, Edge was by far the best reader out there. However, a few weeks later an update killed the annotations feature - I just cou

I'm using RSS feeds daily (even for HN), so it was a no-brainer to add RSS support to my blog as well. I've also created Tip of the Day [1] - while the daily tips can be accessed via an HTML site, I have written it mainly with RSS

I'm also working on a project called "Dashboard" [1]. But I agree - while the name fits perfectly, it's way to generic to find it anywhere. [1] https://github.com/darekkay/dashboard

As an accessibility advocate, I am not a fan of this spec. If you design and implement a website a11y-first, you won't need such feature. See this related article [1] on why this idea is bad. [1] https://axesslab.com/di
