I switched to Protonmail as my main email & have been very happy. Every time I go back to check my old Gmail (I use it for signing up to products I know will spam me) I get very irritated at everything.

I love the social software podcast! It feels like I'm listening to real people building products, plus following along with Colleen Schnettler build her product has been really inspirational :D

I'm thinking Heroku. The experiences I've heard from developers writing for them has been super positive.

High beam lights which turn off in sections to not blind other drivers. They're pretty neat! You can drive on a highway, have high beams lighting up signs but not dazzling other drivers.

I did the same. Now I’ve stopped using reddit as a news source, I feel a lot more upbeat. Plus my news cycle is a lot more localised now, which is a win! I also unsubscribed from subreddits who started allowing false, but entertaining posts

I removed my Chrome Extension from the store in February. It was averaging about £30 per a month in sales and the cost of keeping up-to-date with the changes in Chrome/the extension store seemed hardly worth it. The thing which really

I do Rails full time and most the CoffeeScript lives in the "legacy" side projects. Most projects I'm on have moved to vanilla JavaScript or ES6 via Webpack. I don't think it's dead (it's still popping up), but

I think GitHub isn't trying to push the marketplace as hard as they were a year ago. I suspect the success of GitHub Actions makes the whole marketplace a bit of a risk they'd rather not waste time on.

I've seen a few portals (Like Heroku Dataclips / Metabase) which offer this. That said, I shoehorned it into my daily routine otherwise I'd just end up not checking it for a few weeks at a time.

I regretted the name after launch. It seemed fun & playful at first, but soon its limitations became pretty apperent. Next time I'm just going to use a "Does what it says on the tin" kind of approach to naming.

You're not the only one who does this. I have a small collection of thank you emails I've sent and received I use for motivation. It's definitely not to common, but I think it's great to send positive vibes down the wire

I can live with the full page refresh, but my biggest pain point is working with sub accounts on trello. They store the sub account in a cookie instead of in the URL, so if I want to share what I'm looking at with a colleague it's

Recently I was asked to help out with a PHP project for work, I made the switch to rails almost a decade ago & haven’t looked back since so I was excited to see how PHP felt. I was fairly impressed with how easy it was to jump back to P

Once you factor in the learning time for AWS per a developer the cost is even higher. At my previous company we had project with an AWS deploy process that only two developers could confidently use. Teaching a new developer & keeping th

I'm currently building a Rails app with a event driven development (EDD) approach. This post makes me tingle. After building apps with easily way to much logic in controllers, EDD feels like a much cleaner approach for long term scale.

> A complex web page might call the server 150 times as it loads to completion. That irked me a little. I'm assuming this includes fonts & images (not a bunch of ajax requests), but it still seems high.

My food delivery service (Ocado) at some point added a "Here is a recipe, want to add the ingredients to your shop" button. For me that totally halted my desire to use services like Blue Apron.

I wrote a small chrome extension to reload assets as they change. In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t have many users, but it’s always nice to hear from someone when it makes their day a bit easier.

3-4 people a day. My extensions are development tools so I’d imagine people get their companies to pay for it.

I switched my chrome extension to a paid model (one off payments). Most the offers from these shady people, work out as approximately 1 year worth of sales.

I had a client make the changes they wanted to the site in chrome dev tools, then just send me screenshots. After ranting to a few friends, they had the same experience. So I built this Chrome Extension :D I'm looking forward to hearin

This is a follow up to the article I wrote last year ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12925467 ). Overall, I had a drop in active weekly users but averaged £210 a month in sales.
