If you are talking about receiving payments, I believe this is not possible if you reside in an unsupported country. However, if you have a bank account in a supported country I believe it could work even if you don't reside there. Best to ask Stripe support though to get a comprehensive answer...

Not fully, you cannot configure syntax specific settings (settings for different markup/programming language files) in ".sublime-project" files, only globally. Also, for ".sublime-project" files to work, you need to add the project to Sublime Text's project list. I wanted something more flexible...

Fear of vulnerability, my term for perfectionism. While external things like marketing and invoicing can be a challenge, the biggest challenge is, and always will be, your view of yourself and the world. This is were success and failure ultimately come from.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

I absolutely agree with you! This is one of the main reasons why I created SuperSettings.

I am aware of EditorConfig and I think the greatest strength of it is the ability to configure different editors with one cross-editor configuration file. However, it's greatest strength is also a weakness since it handles, like you correctly said, only general style settings. For example, an important thing for me was the ability to configure the rulers in Sublime Text, which EditorConfig can't do. SuperSettings allows you to configure any Sublime Text setting, so you can, for example, have different color themes for different folders.

Thats a good tactic, I have done similar things in the past by using mind maps to first create an overview which then created more flow and less overthinking.

"Unnecessarily complex sub systems just to get the flexibility I don't need." I would be lying if I said that I am not familiar with this... :)

Yes, in that case definitely...

Great point! This does require quiet some discipline though :)

I understand, thanks for the clarification! Certainly something to consider...

Thanks for your feedback!

Certainly... at times. However, I have spent hours before trying to find an answer or needed a good answer quickly. Was there ever a time where a service like that would have been handy for you?

Thanks for your reply!

Regarding "Maybe even without; the Apache 2 licence requires giving recipients a copy of the licence text", doesn't the BSD 3-clause license require this as well?

Does this apply to the BSD 3-clause license? As far as I can tell no, but would be great to hear other people's opinion...

SEEKING THE HOLY GRAIL (& WORK) | Remote

I am currently on an archeological excursion with Indiana Jones and have found myself with some spare time. Instead of staring at the sand, I have decided to unpack my solar powered MacBook (a little souvenir from my trip to the future) and help some folks with their challenges and dreams.

I am best known for developing whipOS, the personal, powerful and playful operating system for whips. I also know a thing or two about creating websites, mobile apps and desktop apps. On top of that, I have developed whipCloud, the cloud service for keeping your whips in sync, which has taught me valuable things about setting up server environments.

Now it's your turn. Visit https://www.techhawk.io to get in touch with me and tell me about your challenges.

Thanks for reading! Live long and prosper!

Thank you very much for your feedback and ideas! I truly appreciate it!

Great point about having multiple people answer the question! Others also brought up that point, so it is certainly something to look out for.

The chat app idea makes a lot of sense. Why would "there weren't too many problems actually getting paid" be important for you?

Thank you very much for your feedback and ideas, I truly appreciate it!

You raise a lot of good points. One of my main concerns is the pricing model: 5-10€ would be quiet appropriate for small questions that take a few minutes to answer, but is too low for more complex questions that require research. On top of that, it also matters where the person answering the questions comes from since rates vary from country to country. I do not want this to become a place like, for example, Upwork where things tend to be a race to the bottom and you have people answering complex questions for 50 cents. What did you mean with "there's your pricing model"?

Take a look at Kolab Now (https://kolabnow.com). They are based in Switzerland and are only using open source software. You can also use your custom domain with them.

Here is a list of all currently supported Internet Explorer versions (green, yellow):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_version_hist...

At the time of this writing, basically >= IE9. One could argue that this is quiet far back, but I would definitely support IE11 since it is supported on Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

In my experience, IE11 has pretty good support of web technologies, so I would not go as far to call it IE6 hell.

I mainly use my iPhone for web development when I am on the go and feel like getting some light work done. I use Textastic, a great editor for iOS. However, when I need to get more complex work done while traveling, I always take my laptop with me. This allows me to use things like Vagrant. I do not know what the situation is like on Android, but I don't see iOS replacing MacOS when it comes to web development.

I use www.puphpet.com to set up my Vagrant environments for web development. You basically configure your environment in the browser and and then download the generated Vagrant configuration that gets everything going for you.

I do it when I am on the go and feel like getting some light work done. Mostly small adjustments which don't require the whole codebase but just single files. For doing more complex work I often feel to restricted: I can't start, for example, Vagrant to test my changes.

I am talking about iOS here, I do not know what the experience is like on Android. By the way, I find Textastic to be a great editor on iOS, it is a universal app, so it runs on iPads as well.

> but instead would like to grow it (which is quite hard to do on my own)

I don't know the details but a lot of, now very successful projects, have been grown by a single person, so you can definitely do it. Check out www.indiehackers.com for advice and inspiration.

I have also not dealt with things like these, but one thing I strongly believe in: don't be afraid to let people know how you feel about things and how you see things. So I would probably say something like this: I do not wish to sell my project but I am looking for an opportunity to grow. Would you be willing to help me out with this? In turn, we can find a way to help you out with your goals as well to make this a win-win scenario.

I think this is a great idea! You could even go a step further and also discuss challenges like perfectionism and procrastination. I believe that a lot of developers are struggling with this and would appreciate guidance in areas which are also about the internal challenges and not just about the functional career challenges. I know I could have used a website like this.

In my experience, you will hear the most important things from your friends, family or coworkers, so you could just try to not read any news at all. If you feel like you are missing important things, than I would try to go with a short daily or weekly digest of the news you care about the most.

If you need the website up fast, and don't have much experience with dynamic websites, I would go for a simple static website to begin with and then expand it over time.

Personally, I like to go with dynamic websites most of the time. I have templates to help me get going fast and if I ever need to implement some dynamic functionality I can just extend the existing implementation.

This looks promising: https://flow.ch/appengine/

There is a good post about this here http://blog.ycombinator.com/minimum-viable-product-process/

Well, the one I posted above includes a lot of tools which can be used for free by startups, so I think that qualifies :) Other than that, I could not find one in a quick search...

did you mean something like this?

I started freelancing full-time 8 months ago. What I found really supportive on my journey was the Creative Class from Paul Jarvis (https://creativeclass.io).

Remember that you have something valuable to bring to the table, namely yourself and your unique experiences. I would not recommend freelancing websites for one simple reason: race to the bottom. On those websites you will often be competing with super low rates.

I think one of the most effective "techniques" for finding the opportunities you are looking for is to connect with people. Spend time where other people with work opportunities are spending their time, talk to people and help others.

All the best!

Welcome to the web :)

I can recommend Yii (PHP MVC framework) which can help you get going quickly. It comes with a code generator and also takes care of things like JavaScript form validation and other front-end related things.

Personally, I like to only use JavaScript frameworks/libraries if they are really required. If you need to do a lot of stuff dynamically on the front-end, you can also look into libraries like Backbone, which give you a nice tool belt but keep things more flexible.

Have fun! :)
