Thanks! We're currently free. We'll roll out or pricing soon but it will be something like: - Free for teams under 6 users - $10-12/month for teams up to 25 users - Some sort of higher enterprise pricing above that

Simply not hard coding your secrets is a good first step. Even better is to think about how you’re going to rotate secrets. So much easier if you build it in from the start than if you need to tack it on later. Once you have secret rotation

The services Apple provides are great for consumers. Making it easy to sign in and to pay across any app, being able to manage and cancel subscriptions in a single place, etc. But the fee they charge is plain and simple price gouging. They’

A while back I asked a similar question. Basically I said “I need to go with RN or Flutter because I don’t have budget to hire both an iOS and Android engineer”. I was challenged by another HNer asking if I was confident that building apps

Anyone have experience with successfully doing UI tests (especially screenshot tests) in a very young software product? We try to keep our "plumbing" code and backend code well tested, but the UI is changing all of the time and I&

I also went through a dev board phase later on when I was working on Maemo, etc. but they took it easy on me when I was fresh out of school and let me have real production hardware

I worked at Nokia starting in about 2004. Looking back on my career, one of the single greatest feelings of accomplishment was getting a Hello World application to run on Symbian/S60. I thought I knew C++ going in, but I wasn't pr

Hi HN! I'm one of the founders of Kitemaker. My co-founders and I have been leading and working in software development teams together for many years. While the teams have changed over the years, a few things have remained constant: -

https://kitemaker.co doesn't work for you? That's odd. What browser/OS?

I'm currently paying for Superhuman, which is $30/month. I really really like it, though it's not even a full service like hey (it still depends on Gmail). I'm working on an issue tracker that is heavily inspired by Supe

I think one thing that always needs discussing when talking about modals is accessibility. As this article shows, getting a modal on the screen isn't hard with react. Ensuring that the focus is trapped to the modal (that you can't

Two immediate pieces of feedback: - No https in 2020? - If you're going to claim it's a React alternative, you should support that with some sort of feature matrix or something. Why should I pick this over React? Or Preact? Or hyp

Suspect Roam Research [0] might work nicely for what you're doing. It's a very loosely structured tool that basically lets you build your own graph between different wiki-ish pages. 0: https://roamresearch.com/

Possibly stupid question - does Apple switching to ARM mean the death of Bootcamp?

Sorry! Missed that part of your question. There will always be a free tier (mostly likely for 6 users). Then it’ll be something like $10 per user per month which we think is pretty standard in this segment

What is it about a large team that causes it to stop offering an advantage? If anything I’d expect it to be more useful as a code base grows in complexity

Yeah, I tend to agree. After 18 months with TypeScript, I can't really imagine going away from it. After every single refactoring I do, I'm extremely grateful for proper typing. Not to mention sugar like null coalescing, etc.

That’s pretty funny. Though I do believe letting your kids use Jira is technically child abuse.

Search is currently a fuzzy text search on issue titles, labels, etc. Lots of plans to improve it. Filtering is quite full featured. Can filter on labels, assignees, themes, created date, free text etc. No way to get data out yet (besides a

My startup is also working on alternative to Jira for anyone interested: https://kitemaker.co It's really fast and tons of hotkeys and keyboard navigation. No need to use the mouse at all if you don't want to.

Quite a number of tools as you to do something like: curl https://someurl.sh | /bin/bash To install them easily so I guess someone could be tricked into doing that with this URL. Be sure to check those things in browse
