It's funny, I was seriously considering doing just that a day or so ago. I think I might.

As the person who runs usesthis.com, let me tell you it's a massive pain in the ass (I have a JSON file for every item I link to, and so many just... die.)

Ha, really? What made it not obvious? Genuinely curious so I can improve the discoverability etc.
5.
by waferbaby 10y ago
Yeah, I guess I've made it tricky by not matching the name and the URL.
6.
by waferbaby 11y ago
And fixed.

Me too, but he said he was being intentionally terse.

Hah! Creator is good.

Maybe I should reword it to "Developer of C++".
10.
by waferbaby 11y ago
Yep - he said that was intentional, so.

I've got a light-weight "API" for each interview - just append /json to an interview URL.

I'm always open to suggestions, if you have 'em!
15.
by waferbaby 13y ago
It's not :)

by waferbaby 14y ago
Yay! That's awesome.

by waferbaby 14y ago
Yeah, I love those! Did you see the woodprint maker one? http://david.bull.usesthis.com/ Also, feel free to suggest people!

by waferbaby 14y ago
I quite like my head.

Feel free to clone the site and do a version with screencasts!

by waferbaby 14y ago
Hah! I'm not sure if I should be weirded out or upset over that. But you have given me an idea for April 1st.
21.
by waferbaby 14y ago
Yeah, I'm always trying to get interesting people, but I never know ahead of time what they use. Feel free to suggest more, though!

by waferbaby 14y ago
Hah! Not all :) http://usesthis.com/interviews/windows http://usesthis.com/interviews/linux

by waferbaby 14y ago
Yup! Agreed.

by waferbaby 14y ago
Aw, sorry about that. I guess it's a nice break from the normality, maybe? :)

FWIW, I have the source up for usesthis.com, if that's useful to anyone: http://github.com/waferbaby/usesthis/

Hooray! I don't know if you wanted to look at the newer version of The Setup, but it's now Sinatra-based with a MySQL backend, and all the software/hardware is nicely organised. I can dump that out for you, if that'd help.

by waferbaby 14y ago
Do it! You can fork my site right now, if that'd help: https://github.com/waferbaby/usesthis/

'They' = me. :) I feel bad there's such a lag, but publishing three a week (and as a side project) actually ends up being a lot of work, so I've got a backlog I'm trying to work through. Frustrating, but there it is.
29.
by waferbaby 15y ago
That's what I thought, that it's been posted before.
30.
by waferbaby 15y ago
For what it's worth, that's not actually intentional :)
