The problem is that people should agree beforehand on the data format and schema for every new app. That's impossible. Actually, any interchangeability is impossible. Apps are different, thus they have different data schemas. If they h

I don't understand why are you complaining they aren't solving inequality, then.

Good point. I believe you can only do that distinction (business vs toy) after the fact. So it offers no guidance at all. Was Dropbox a toy in the beggining? You can argue. Was Google a toy in the beggining? You can argue. Was Uber a toy in

If you want to help someone, just hang out on IRC and look for people asking questions.

Yes, it is crazy. For these cases we shouldn't be using SaaS at all. Installed applications can still be useful, I guess.

If a new version is available on the store it will update automatically from time to time. You can trigger the auto-updates from your extensions settings page.

This. I always thought that any blockchain could only work if there was a reward system (otherwise you're dealing with trusted parties and thus no blockchain in the strict sense is needed), and thus it never made any sense to me to see

Why can't these websites let me choose a password on my own risk? Sometimes I don't care if my account will be hacked or whatever, I just want to have a simple password. But no, they want me to create a super difficult and impossi

So you're ok with they getting away with the all lies, but if someone writes something debunking them, you criticize the guy?

The source code is on Glitch, I guess it's open. But it is literally 30 lines of code. If it gets interested users I'll implement safer endpoints, anti-spam and other things like storing the submissions.

My solution is to use an isomorphic static-site SPA hybrid, as generated by https://github.com/fiatjaf/sitio , for example. The idea is to load only the React components and the data needed for each route at load time.

Wasn't there a in-browser Javascript shell somewhere a while ago? It could fetch URLs and do cool stuff with APIs.

What kind of shell can I run on a server without filesystem access that I can open to external untrusted users?

I think you should post the link directly in the Show HN. Also, the site is a little too gray-blueish, it looks somewhat unprofessional because of that. The service I like more is the static maps configured with query strings. I didn't

When I read "one line" I thought you were serving full-map images tweaked by query parameters. (Of course I ignored the "interactive" part, but it seems like a good idea nonetheless.)

Haven't used yet, but this should be named the Python tool of the year. `pip freeze` is broken, this is the solution. I didn't even know it was possible to do this sort of thing with Python packages. -- Also, you should add the de
