The last job I left was an extremely fulfilling job that I'd gladly stay in for a lot longer. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, work is not the only thing in life. Together with my fiancée, we've decided to move back to our country

In my experience it works great for SEO: you're in control of basically everything, so you have the freedom to play with meta tags, sitemaps, structured data, readable urls and so on. But, of course, afaik, there's no plugin with

So far, after a disappointing experience with WordPress, I've been pretty happy with Jekyll, and would recommend it. I've written a tutorial on how to set up your own from scratch, which might be interesting of you're conside

I think at this point it's irresponsible to do anything other than what you're describing. There's no reason to expect FB to change their strategy.

Looking at that page it's hard to understand what the product is about, or why should I care. Above the fold I can read: "Keep your friends and colleagues in the loop!" "Every day, more and more people are relying on Ope

Really? I'm in Belgium and with a Portuguese account, a combination that usually doesn't get me too far, and it's downloading right now.

Exactly my thoughts. I think at this moment we are all so scared of possible future changes, always for the sake of profits against users' will, that something as simple and inoffensive as this is actually a pleasant surprise. I hope t

It's a great idea for a real problem that needs to be solved. Still, for dynamic pages, what would be the desired behaviour? Updating it whenever possible, which could lead to the specific info we wanted to save potentially disappearin

Should change the title to "I couldn't believe what I saw: this browser plugin is hated by clickbait websites and the reason will blow your mind!"

Nice project, if it were in Java or PHP maybe it could gain some traction.

I think you are missing the point there. Sure, I completely agree with you that those comments are crucial, but they are not informing about the code doing a swap, they are explaining the need of the applied workaround.

Exactly. Thus we have get what we deserve, less scientific advancements and quality of life. If only we could get rid of his perpetual self-damaging instinct.

Or via any IM app you and your group of friends are already using. The site doesn't say a lot, so I can only guess, but the only way this could be useful or at least add something new would be to not require the receiver to use the app

This would, IMO, be the best approach. We already have players (Amazon, Nokia, etc) that would certainly be interested in having such a layer that they could apply on top of their services. Then, having an open source community contributing

Google is frequently pushing new Google Play Services that developers can use for their apps. Those services have the massive advantage over AOSP APIs of having OTA updates for all, not having to rely on carriers and manufacturers for full

Great project. The importance of something like this is increasingly growing, as Android ecosystem is getting more and more dependent on Google's proprietary software. For the next steps, it would be nice to have some onboarding docume

Yes! This! We all know that those silly apps/games/etc aren't solving any big world problem, but neither are watching TV, browsing cat gifs, etc. What we do during our chill out time is up to us, and I'd say there are wa

Yep, that's me, too. Always coming up with new ideas for great projects, moved by a great spark of curiosity, but usually those projects just tend to die because after some time I've learned most of what I wanted to (I start getti
