I understand what you are saying. I should clarify my comment. - All users can delete their accounts (and all related data) at https://www.ringerhq.com/user/profile which is accessible from the dashboard - We have deli

Hi Remram, The emails have no unsubscribe link because they were sent directly from me, from my personal email account. There is no marketing mail list, which is why you have received 2 emails in total since you signed up almost a year ago.

Thanks - I'm trying to debug it but it seems very inconsistent. We had a clear hour and then it's restarted again! https://postimg.cc/75WHxNqs

Hi - I'm digging into this, I can see it in the logs and am trying to work out why - it looks like an issue in the OAuth process for some users only

Great to see more in this space. We've been working on the same problem with https://www.ringerhq.com for the past ~year and have seen great success with specific projects. We're changing our approach slightly to give

Hey - would you mind clarifying what you mean re whitelisting? An expert can only be an expert on a repository that they have a history of contributing to, so I would hope that that would have an effect on the advice they give. If they stil

Now there is! ;-) Yeah - this is where I see us fitting well. It's not really the standard install/import and you're done issues that docs deal with. It's the niche problem <> niche expertise area where I believe w

Thank you! I enjoy the big and not easy things, it's where the magic happens!

Yeah - it's all in the vetting. I will dogfood a solution shortly!

So we are logging requests and will reach out manually. Not today, given the Hacker News traffic load! But we are intending to put in a more scalable solution - what we don't want to do is spam people, which would be the result if it w

We check contributions, but have a slightly more nuanced system planned and in testing. It's a difficult problem, but we do have thoughts on ways to ensure quality of experts remains high.

Hmm on this [1] page there is a link which should allow you to appear as an expert without completing the Stripe process. I think we might not be routing everyone through that page though! You can stay that way until you receive a request,

OK - this is something that I am going to work on. Traditionally marketplaces have been a race to the bottom, and I think (in fact know, through conversations) that many developers don't necessarily know the market rate for their skill

Hey! So this is something that we are really interested in, and want to support. I've had about a dozen conversations about this, especially where someone has created packages for a larger piece of software which necessitates a deep kn

Hi pabs3, thanks for your comments! We already have an improved "clear English" version of the ToS, which you will be glad to hear includes updates on changes going through review now - getting the legals right has been a really b

Thanks you!

Very interesting. it's been brought up in the context of the wider community, so definitely something we are considering.

Thanks! Yes, you can bulk add, we pull in the data as you sign up. We're looking at thresholds to stop malicious behaviour but at the moment will manually police it until it becomes too much. We are also rolling out a way to show which

by mintone 4y ago
Hey! We're working on the thresholding - it's hard because some projects have 20 contributions total but we're looking at ways to balance contributions vs length of service vs age of commits vs lines of code. For now, contr

Great ideas. Trust is at the heart of what we're doing here, so I'd love to see this come into fruition.

Hi foxhop - at the moment, yes. We've had conversations with people about GitLab, Gitea, BitBucket, SourceHut and others and we'd like to support them, and self hosted, in time. For now we're constrained by resources though s

Hey dvarrazzo - we're making a real effort to talk to the developer side when we're structuring contracts and at the moment (until it's unscalable) will be manually involved (behind the scenes) in each one to make sure it fit

One of the medallists went to (equivalent of) high school with me - seeing his name pop up was... a surprise.

Going through similar, and waking up to the 15 seconds of blissful ignorance followed by devastating clarity is the worst part in many ways.

A brand in the UK called Clarence Court started producing a range of eggs (maybe a decade ago?) that have an intensely orange yolk [1] and this became a real differentiator, in some ways an indicator of quality. I know when an egg is Claren

A lot of what is said here is true, but it also depends on what your position is within the organisation - if you are senior (or a peer) and have the respect of your colleagues then you can look at running a training session, followed by wr
