Gamification is not a selling point. Users do not care about gamifying the experience. Users care about the experience. Does this solve interesting and new problems in the dating space? That's the selling point. The goal of gamificat

You can override "web safe" keyboard shortcuts (for example, "CTRL+S") in a pretty standard way, with or without a library. The biggest issue I think is the expected behavior for the user. If I press CTRL+S, do I expec

I built a keyboard shortcut library for React not too long ago. There are a couple of issues you might run into. There is a real chance that you don't define your keyboard shortcuts all in one place. There could be many components that

Alternatively, jrnl.sh. It's tiny, allows you write using your favorite editor, and can be backed up or replicated with simple git. It's even encrypted. Maybe I'm not the target demographic for services like these but I would

I look at the hours and hardwork I put in as increasing my chances for success. I wholeheartedly agree that success is mostly based on luck. I believe that the most successful business people were incredibly lucky in their journeys - but mo

I never said memorized. I do believe if you truly understand your code however (and ours spans 500k+) then you don't need a file browser to know that components live in the "components" folder. I agree with taking advantage

As I understand it, development for Thunderbird was recently ramped up again[1]. Some of the more "obvious" features might have been on the backlog for some time. [1] https://blog.mozilla.org/thunderbird/2019&

We recently switched from Slack to Mattermost and love it. My only gripe is that replies show up in the main room thread which makes catching up on posts almost impossible. There is a request to implement collapsible threads[0] but I haven&

I'm curious if an A/B test was run for this. Didn't we all agree that full-screen cover images were bad UX? Especially for a news source, that seems like an odd call.

It's a nice idea but you don't need to reinvent an OS to achieve most of these concepts. In fact, you can do almost all of these things today on Linux using i3 + rofi.

I really enjoy articles like these. There is something special and provocative about a highly sarcastic article about programming, like a comedian that can make light of a serious topic. Maybe it doesn't solve anything but it does brin

The thing with expensive watches is they recommend to send them in for maintenance every 2-or-so years which isn't cheap, I know sending my watch costs me ~$500 for maintenance which was about 1/4 of the total price. Granted, it c
