Our products include a mobile app (RN), a NextJS app, and a GraphQL/Typescript API. We've been around for 5 years and we have a Product & Eng org of 5 including myself. We're well-funded and business is going great.

dimarcoon Jiratui – A Textual UI for interacting with Atlassian Jira from your shell

Rust is a joy to work with 85% of the time. Ratatui was a fun and easy way to get a TUI up and running.

dimarcoon Jiratui – A Textual UI for interacting with Atlassian Jira from your shell

https://github.com/markmarkoh/lt

I wrote lt as a TUI for navigating/searching Linear issues. It is read-only right now.

dimarcoon Los Angeles is painting some of its streets white (2018)

Are the streets still painted? I looked at satellite views of Agnes and Jordan Ave and I don’t see it.

dimarcoon Jam - The JavaScript package manager

Libraries like this are useful.

Ender sounds similar and has been out for quite some time: http://ender.no.de/

dimarcoon YC Facelift: EXEC

It's a good first shot, although a lot of the feedback provided by HNers seems to be on point.

It's funny that it only took a few months to get sick of the Twitter Bootstrap look, felt like it took a year to get sick of the 37Signals/Basecamp rip offs.

dimarcoon Happy Easter CSS3 animation

My CPU barely worked at all. (latest MB Pro).

dimarcoon Gazehawk Team (YC S10) Joins Facebook

In one of Facebook's more recent big acquisitions - Gowalla - the product was shut down within a few weeks.

dimarcoon [dead]

This only proves a bubble if they bring in $20 million of funding from Andreessen-Horowitz.

dimarcoon AT&T's Rube Golbergian Web Form

Typically, "upgrade your browser" techniques are welcomed in HN. Google drops support for IE6, then IE7 - smiles all around. Apps block off IE6 - "good for them".

AT&T does something similar and it's met with frustration?

Requiring IE* should be frowned upon. But anything that says "upgrade from IE6", in end-user land, is probably a good thing.

dimarcoon New PS3 firmware hacked in less than a day

I wonder if anybody at Sony has come up with the conclusion that it's always going to get hacked, and the money they spend trying to secure it(along with the bad press) could be better focused in other areas of the company.

dimarcoon Ask HN/PG: Why are comments being paginated?

Couldn't people take advantage of this by only commenting on high-karma comments, regardless of whether or not it's relevant to the parent-comment, but instead just piggy-backing to stay on the first page?

dimarcoon Ask HN: How do you use Twitter to reach out to press?

While it's a nice thought, it didn't actually close to even attempting to answer the question.

dimarcoon Top Tech Events in Austin TX, October 2010

There is also the Austin Javascript meetup that @getify puts together. Anybody else planning on going?

dimarcoon JQuery Webcam Plugin - Communicate with a webcam directly from JS

jQuery sells.

dimarcoon Ask HN: Who Is Hiring? (October 2010 Edition)

Bazaarvoice is hiring in Austin, TX.

They just rented out a movie theater (alamo drafthouse) for all of us to see the Social Network.

Also it's a cool company. http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2010/10/01/bazaarvoice-ramps-up-...

dimarcoon Damning Zuckerberg IMs confirmed

I hardly call the IMs "Damning" considering how he's continued to grow into one of the most powerful people in the tech industry.

dimarcoon Justin Bieber Has Dedicated Servers at Twitter

If you live in America then yes, you are fortunately out of touch.

*edit, cannot type

dimarcoon On Communities and Content

It would probably be pretty confusing, especially considering most people don't read much text on the page(like the text that might say "Correct this...")

dimarcoon Arcade Fire meets HTML5

I'm not sure about the mechanics of Chrome, but aren't new Chrome windows different processes? thus having their own share of CPU?

Trying to cram everything in a single thread of execution seems like it would have been a mistake.

dimarcoon HTML5 resume

While I agree with your second statement, your first is misplaced. There is a huge difference between "I'm an engineer, can't design, here's my resume(even my HTML5 resume)" and using oddly timed fade-ins, slides, text reflection, etc. etc.

If you try to put that much design in a resume, you get judged as a designer.

dimarcoon Ask HN:any Chrome+Delicious users? I hacked the Delicious XT so you can browse

thanks. I originally built it so I could ditch Firefox for my personal browsing. Looking forward to any feedback you might have.

dimarcoon Ask HN: What smartphone to get right now?

Not that I'm aware of.

dimarcoon Ask HN: What smartphone to get right now?

the AT&T store activated it for me - the fact that I didn't have access to iTunes didn't even come up(that I remember).

dimarcoon Ask HN: What smartphone to get right now?

I don't watch movies on it, but I get music from iTunes (on the phone), my NPR radio app, and Pandora.

dimarcoon Ask HN: What smartphone to get right now?

I'm an iPhone user & Linux-only person for the last 2 years and my experience with the iPhone has been great.

dimarcoon Islands in lakes in islands in lakes ...

yo dawg

--- Ugh, look what you've made me do.

dimarcoon Ask HN: Recommend me a Podcast

Have you tried the iPhone app instead of the iTunes feed? It sends a nice push notification whenever a new episode is ready.

dimarcoon Ask HN: Books To Learn Web Design (HTML/CSS/XML/PHP)

For web design, I would recommend against a book. Create a delicious account and start tagging well designed sites as "inspiration".

Then steal, steal, steal.
