Aseprite switched to Skia a year or so ago ( https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite ). Regret it. Google doesn't care to maintain CMake support for it, so there goes pulling it in via source and building as a library

Here's a cool gem: https://github.com/atom/watcher There are nice possibilities for this project, it could be abstracted out to work with FreeBSD and stuff. Grunt/gulp/etc. watch features may be able to

Python Django, a highly competitive web framework. With great extensions like Django REST Framework. Assets with django-webpack-loader. So on. It may not be as good as Laravel or Rails, but they're all really active. But the thing that

Anecdotal stuff I've found helps keep me out / people I know who struggle out of low points (YMMV): - Keep a clean room. - Own less things. - Wash clothes ahead of time. In big cities there'd also be cleaners that'd fold

Django does have magic: The key thing is Django's implicit behavior is directly proportional to the job it's trying to do [1]: - Django's settings can be invoked at any time. So it's kept as a lazily-loaded singleton t

Build it in parallel with your current codebase. If you're not doing so already, create a staging database you can use for developing this. That way if something goes berserk production data stays safe. Get a jumpstart by using Django

The argument from the permissive licensing side: The reason some programmers hold GPL in contempt isn't due to picking a sports team. It's really annoying to have to explain to a true believer (of GPL) that it potentially taints c
