Yes, I've seen that article and I'm familiar with this industry. Are you suggesting that people aren't buying drones? They are. They're just buying them (mostly) from one company, DJI, that in 2017, had revenue of over

For my purposes, voice chat is not a useful feature. I want our team's communications to be in text form so that we can communicate asynchronously, people don't have to be online at the same time and it's easy to read back th

I use Slack frequently in about 20 different open source, interest-based, educational and hobbyist communities. I also use it frequently as part of small teams set up for various projects.

For me, the voice channels are actually off-putting. I've never been a gamer and don't like the idea of feeling like I'm chatting on the phone with strangers. Text feels much more comfortable. Thanks for your response. It is

I've said this elsewhere in the thread, but Slack could already be making money off me if they offered an attractively priced plan for open source and hobbyist communities and gave workspace owners an easy way to forward that monthly s

Slack is also very popular with open source and hobbyist communities. People often seem to assume that it's used only at work, which I guess makes some amount of sense given that the vast majority of paying customers are probably workp

Is that still the case? That there is no way to export message history? I'm trying to find a way to publish messages from my Slack channel to my website in real-time so that I can give visitors a look at what they are signing up for. S

How is Discord superior? I haven't really used it but my first impressions are that it seems very tailored to the gaming community. I have used Slack extensively and it appears more professional. And if Discord is free, how do they mak

I designed a hardware product but haven't brought it to market because even if it is successful, Chinese manufacturers will reverse engineer it and then have a cheaper clone on the market within weeks, long before I can recoup even the

fpvracing.tv is an online community for the rapidly growing sport of drone racing. I'm looking for somebody to help maintain the site, which is a rails app hosted on Heroku. Email address is admin at the domain.

I just did a quick Google and came up with this helicopter priced at over 15 million USD: http://www.aerotrader.com/dealers/Global-Plane-Search-301499... Why are helicopters so expensive?

Do you know of any good resources for learning about using P2P and WebRTC to cut down on livestreaming bandwidth costs? This is highly relevant to something I'm working on at the moment.

I'd like to see more content related to robotics. The fact that almost everything has a 5-star rating is kind of off-putting as it makes the ratings pretty useless. By the way, are you the developer I was talking to sometime last year
