   Such a great read. I'm trying to build a non profit org in a country with almost no culture of non profits and with zero experience in org design. Most of articles or podcasts on running non profits seems to be all the same – define vi

   So much this. I've recently tried Flarum and Discourse, and the biggest issue is that PHP and Ruby on Rails are unforgivably slow and complex. Granted, Flarum/Discourse are way better than PhpBB/NodeBB/etcBB, but after f

    If you think about it, browser is just an OS for the apps that have crappiest stack (typesetting engine from 80s and, well, javascript), weird window manager (full-window tabs), sandbox for everything (including TCP/UDP calls) and no a
