   I'm surprised/disappointed they didn't embrace CSS grids. I've found them to be so much better to work with than Bootstrap grids

   Some time ago there was an article posted with a proposal for redesigning the Github UI [1]. I thought it was mostly great, but it got roundly panned on HN. In general my takeaway was that people don't like change, even when it benefit

   Not a great article, which is unfortunate given that pro-cycling articles always get the same tired responses in defense of driving (it doesn't work for my particular situation, it's too cold some of the year in some places, etc..

    Soundcloud is the only music service I happily pay for even though I really don't need to. There aren't enough ads to justify giving them money, so it's really just because if they went away I'd lose access to all the be

    I know Netflix will never make the faceted search interface I've always wanted: Show me shows that are between 45-90 minutes in a particular genre, made in the 70s. Show me animated shows from Japan that are <25 minutes long. Etc.
