I enjoy the tone because it seems genuine. As with almost everything, I view it as their opinion, not fact. It might not apply to you or many others, but their experience likely explains their perspective.

You've raised valid points and I agree. Do you have any recommendations for further reading/watching that gives us more insight?

I took cold showers for 2 months in the UK recently but it got too cold... and then, I got a cold! I had to stop (or wanted to)

It doesn't sound like you're confused about my point... Indie Books are books published outside of mainstream publishing. You're misrepresenting what Indie Books are with your own opinion of what you want to see on the site i

Do you think Indie Games should also only be about indie subjects?

That is a serious amount of money. Are Facebook ads really that effective? The final paragraph makes me sad - this company is entirely at the mercy of Facebook.

Perhaps it's because all the {insert word}'s are taken, often squatted!

It looks like they're encouraging (pressuring) open-source users to adopt the newer versions sooner. In this way, they'll get more value through those users as "beta-testers" through the feedback. I can see many people a

Searched the page for "Rust" which returned nothing... and the box labels are awkward. Why not label them conventionally?

Very similar - and posted earlier! The GitHub one has some nicer effects.

Great way to visualise the data. I wonder if it will work its way into any plotting libraries...

Why the implicit antisemitism and need to list Israel in the name. I find it interesting that we never list other country origins when discussing their issues "Post-truth"? Did you look for any evidence of this supposed pa

I think READMEs should be kept as simple as possible. They should remain compatible/functional with terminal output, and they shouldn't have dependencies. But I also think many READMEs could be improved with the inclusion of a fig

How did this make it to the front-page with 11 points by linking to " https://0.0.0.0:4000/blog/force-dns-pihole "? Do most people just vote based on the title?

It's been over a year since you made this post - did it help? Did Buffer adopt it as good practice? The post is titled "Why I keep a personal log of bugs" but I didn't learn much about why you keep a personal log of bu

Good memories. Also spent some time scrolling through https://skins.webamp.org/ and found some I'd never seen before that I liked!

Whilst I'm not convinced that this incoherent rambling is directly human-generated, I am a little intrigued. What is the point that you're trying to get across? Do you think you could sum it up in a sentence?

The parent comment has a point, I opened the homepage and searched for the word "data", 0 results found. Perhaps adding something along the lines of "Stay in control of your data with ..." would be a selling point?

Posting on reddit without it being deleted comes down to luck, or whether you are friends with (or have given some benefit) to the mods.

You're not missing anything - fairly straight-forward advice. In their defence, they didn't title the post "The secret on how to use Reddit to get your first users"! But how did it get to the front page?

Do you have any resources or examples you recommend for this? My front-end knowledge is over a decade old. I would still be assigning all these colours individually in CSS!
