I ran into so many issues with content-box a decade back I never thought about it again and always defaulted to border-box. I think it's absurd that I can set a div to a specific width (100px, 200px, whatever) and the padding or bord

The easy way 10 years ago was FTP or rsync. It seems like that's still the easy way. I'm wondering why nothing simpler/more automatic has popped up.

This is incredible work and very close to my heart because it's similar to a project I've been dedicating most of my personal time to for the past 4 years [0]. It's amazing how much work you can skip when you treat the front-

Hi Hieu, thank you! That's a great way to explain it: dynamic HTML. I should use that. Let me know if you need any help getting set up. I can hop on a video call if you want.

Thank you, I fixed it! You should have gotten a Getting Started email by now. And I changed the redirect to a different page.

Thank you for the great feedback, I really appreciate it. - I changed the vague copy you mentioned to be a little more technical, but also hopefully clearer - I added underlines and backgrounds to the other tabs in the code demo, so it&#x27

Yes, I've helped tutor kids in web dev & game dev and I'm passionate about making tech easier for them. Remake was made for beginners, so they don't have to learn everything about full-stack web development [0] the first

Hi HN, I made Remake 2 years ago while working on a separate project. [0] I started that project off with 6 months of research (interviewing potential customers) and 6 months of designing the pages. I wasn't looking forward to spending

I would love to hear more about this. I'd like to implement a model like this for my project. Any articles or communities you could point me to?

I don't think this is a counterargument. I think he's saying that once you decide to do something, you'll stick with it if it matches your values and the learnings from your journey so far. This resonates with me strongly. As

I agree with the general principle of this document: HTML is outdated and there should be a unification of web technologies so the web becomes easier to build on. My solution to this problem is to upgrade HTML, a language with a syntax I lo

This is a good idea. I like the easy-to-use interface and that it's free. Have you thought about making it open source? I used this on a repository for an open source framework I'm working on and it looks nice [0]. Thank you for b

I love this book called "Soowing Down to the Speed of Life". In one chaper the author talks about the incredible boon that comes from heading towards boredom instead of away from it. He decided to take a night to just do nothing.
