I built auger-state [1] a few months back since I was really unhappy with most front end state management solutions for React. I was tired of the Redux song and dance when building apps with centralized state and I wanted something that was

+1 to this. I worked at FB for a few years and Workplace is just Facebook re-skinned. My big gripe with Workplace is similar to what ceronman says, it is essentially engineered to create meta-work. People end up using it to self-promote eve

I've been working on a few different things. At the beginning of the lockdown I was super into Animal Crossing so I build https://ac-catch.com . I'm happy to say that the site still gets a few thousand visitors every mo

Is it just me or does the syntax seem very confusing? Compared to other languages with pattern matching (ex OCaml) it seems a little clunky. I'm not familiar with Ruby though, does this syntax mesh with the rest of the language though?

* VR will never become mainstream, but will get an addicting online killer app that will pull in "hardcore" gamers (like WoW was in the 2000's) * Multiple companies will publish consumer AR headsets at around the price of a h

I tend to agree with grawprog. I think it is powerful in cases like chemo (I had a friend who used MM on chemo and it curbed his nausea like no other drug could). For chronic pain I think it is better than opiates, but I'm not sure tha

I'm personally excited to see what sorts of new treatments will come out of using psychedelics medically. I've always been on the skeptical side of medical marijuana usage in all but the most extreme cases, but I have a feeling th

When I worked for a large tech company I spent a few months building a similar service for internal use. I can confirm, managing all of those instances and making it reliable can be a huge headache. I really wish using browserless was an op

It is a little bit of a shame that it doesn't seem to be under active development anymore. For personal projects, it would be fun to be able to write up little DSLs

Prettier has saved me hours of time in code review, reviewing others code and getting reviewed myself. It is amazing how much better feedback you get when someone isn't on the lookout for a missplaced '{'.

The product looks great, I am a huge fan of documentaries myself and have always wanted a service like this. I have always been interested in small streaming sites and how they keep the costs down, your plans are very well priced. Have you

Very niche, but if you need it this could definitely save you a few hours. I wish I had this last weekend for a hackathon where I used a stack very similar to this. I spent longer than I should have to get webpack up and running with Django
