Ah, I didn't know that. Only reinforces my point about Slack not being a good choice for community platforms though.

In other words, Slack merely tolerates public Slack chats, it doesn't want to encourage them. As we speak, I have five slack communities open in my messenger. All but one of them are open to the public. I'd wager there are more

Not OP but I'm still on 1.2 because I still had to support IE8 when 1.3 dropped it out of the blue (I wouldn't have used 1.2 if I had known the Angular team planned to drop IE8 support). Shortly after, Angular 2.0 was announced an

Still playing catch-up. React is already on 16. Joking aside, apart from semver another reason for the weird versioning in Angular is that it's a rather large collection of modules, especially if you include things like RxJS (which tec

Unless your audience happens to be an exact mirror of the relative global browser stats, that is less than helpful. If 90% of your users are on IE, it's not enlightening to point out that those 90% only make up a tiny fraction of the g

I'm very happy the React and Vue projects are headed by people like Evan You and Dan Abramov, not HN commenters. The hostility in these threads is upsetting. There is no best approach and both React and Vue have their worth, if you l
