Nothing to do with that. This was Supreme Court decision and government will probably challenge it. Even if Cryptocurrency helps in some dire situation arising out of COVID-19, facilitating cryptocurrency would be lowest of priorities for t

Apart from that Common Crawl respects robots.txt (which makes sense) so many sites you expect to see there are not indexed. Netflix, Facebook LinkedIn and many more. If common-crawl sees serious adoption those sites will modify their robots

I built something similar. Though you need to sign up to use it http://www.castbin.com/ Great for an effort for a day though. Apparently I don't see mouse movements in playback.

I am just trying to understand the difference. But why not consider Javascript extension of server side code. I don't think, anybody is stopping use of websites just because their back-end is not open source. Is it because we own our d

Minor issue but "Edit your files locally to updated the site." should be "Edit your files locally to update the site." One positive point is I got basic idea on what the site is and how to use it in minutes.

I don't know how you are giving results so fast but as other comment is saying, design doesn't do justice to the usefulness of the app. Good luck.

I think it looks useful. But I could not edit the existing project.

This is really novel concept and I hope it catches on as it presents many advantages. Although, you have pointed it out in the comments, can't you enable iframing of the response so users are not confused. At lest, I didn't know w

I haven't tested it fully but what if https is running on different port i.e. 443 (It is possible.) I believe marking cookie secure will only save you from MITM attack, not from attacks where ports are shared in a domain. i.e. cookies

Is it PR bullshit? It probably is, but are their claims entirely wrong. If you see my comments, they are not entirely baseless. Let's not kid ourselves, Google is a good company but they have to defend their position. Not just DuckDuckGo, b
