Many time I thought something like this should exist, however it must be tricky to make wiki facts engaging. It's the value added of a guide to select the right path, talk about relevant subject, and form a group out of random visitors

Funny that this is on the front page today, I switched my project from preact to react in the afternoon. The main culprit : meteor supports react, not preact. I found a workaround at first but when getting a bit more serious it made sense t

My new, portable coffee setup : an aeropress and a grinder (1zpresso q2 mini). I'm making coffee everyday with this and it's been great. I used to think espresso was the only option, but espresso tools are not easily portable and

That's a great idea, I used to adjust the volume of my roommates party through the Sonos app when they were going too wild too late, but it's cool to have something directly applying to Spotify

Adding my domain ( language-homework.com ) was fairly painless. You could make it easy to add the redirect (of the domain to the sales pages) by adding a DNS target. For example, if i point my root to your IP, you'd return a page that

There's some lock in in terms of framework specific code but no lock in of your data,it's just a mongo dB. The reliance on mongo means it's always a bit tricky to make join-like calculations, but otherwise I'd really rec

I'd build it with meteor, mostly because I'm used to it. It's excellent for prototypes and real time by default

I didn't see it when i was looking around, but i basically ignored all libs priced at 50€ or more. - You are not gzipping the lib on your marketing website so it only shows up as a 200kb chunk (40kb after gzipping locally), better than

Haha thanks, I hope it will be of some use. You can see it in action in a live "google sheet" like editor here https://simpletext.link/F864RMYnzcwDND96W Greetings from владивосток

Author here, I felt like JS libs for spreadsheet UIs were always overkill for my usage of letting users import their data into my app. I spent more time disabling the default features than required, and the bundle would still get bloated by

The arguments are quite solid but I'm having a hard time swallowing that pill, what are the valid counter arguments here ? Not just "Google bad" but some actual examples of Google screwing with journalism. I feel like news ag

To be fair, he raises a fair point. The title should be "don't invest heavily in coding from the start, talk to your future customers first, if those are available, if you are trying to make money with your project" but it&#x

I tend to buy (indie, Linux) games on gog/humble bundle/itch.io, or on the official developer website. When I have to use steam it really pains me, their client, drm, marketing forced accounts, pricing policy .. are a pita.

Great concept, but many buttons don't have any label or tooltip, please add at least one of the two. The "hot" button is very cryptic to me. On my computer, i don't have an easy way to scroll left and right, so the layo

I think not, because despite the high quality of the pure CSS result, there's probably a js lib out there that will get the same result for a few hundred extra kilobytes in the bundle. But knowing CSS is still very useful as a skill, i

Exactly what I thought. Custom made administrative apps are the ideal use case for a pwa. Maybe performance and battery usage could be slightly improved by going native, but for some text based apps the benefits of pwa in terms of portabili
