Good insights on the trends in word processor markets. But, including rich text editors and note-taking apps into the word processor market is bit of an overstretch. Note-making apps are typically for digital screens, with a limited set of

Much needed. I usually draw them into a tablet, export them as images and then put them into slides. This is much neater. I couldn't test it in a tablet right now. How does it do when hand-drawing in a tablet? Thanks!

Good job with this one. We need more blogging systems that don't lock content within their data-stores. HexoPress is another such tool. If google docs is your go-to editor, you can blog from gdocs using http://hexopress.com

I did something similar. The HN community had been pretty much my virtual mentor ever since I stumbled upon here. Consequently, I had a subconsciously ingrained aversion for BigCorps and joined a (3 person)startup right out of college. On h

It was me, who asked him the question. The answer though isn't satisfactory enough. But again 140 chars is not a good bandwidth for meaningful conversations. The claim is interesting, but isn't evident enough. For example, how exa

[Same Link] You can see how poor the browser support is and how big the polyfill is. There's a chance that the polyfill could be bigger than jQuery's removeClass/addClass implementations.

Spot on! Those are probably the two most important blunt-sides of native APIs. The last thing I'd want to see is a codebase going from 40 lines of code to 400 lines, because "hey, we removed jQuery and writing verbose js is the ne

It is not about the possibility. We can achieve anything with native browser's APIs without custom/polyfill layers these days. Point is: $('#somediv').removeClass('class-to-be-removed') is so much better than d

Zoho ran bundled subscription option called Zoho One ( https://www.zoho.com/one/ ). It had reasonably good welcome. This strikes as slightly similar.

Svelte( https://svelte.technology/ ) is one similar idea. It’s a framework that compiles down to plain JS before being shipped out to browsers. There’s a couple of concerns though: #1 How are we going to manage browser incons
