jamesrat··on The April Fools joke that might have got me fired
In high-school I replaced all the printers ready message to “Insert Coin”. I didn’t not check the parameters of the script and because of their network configuration, deployed to the whole district. Surprisingly this wasn’t the reason the banned me from the network.
jamesrat··on Show HN: Meegle – Jira alternative with workflow visualization
This is a deal breaker for me. You might have the coolest product but in this space I’ll buy something I can quote the price for to management without having to waste my time trying to talk to a sales rep.

“Ice cream shop can’t afford employees due to rising costs”

Business are happy to pay the very minimum possible for wages to maximize their profits. When everything goes up and minimum wage stays the same you need more to survive.

If you looked around at what this guy is paying vs the neighbors, you're now competitive with your salary.

Supply and demand. The demand for retail works is high but the supply at that minimum rate they wanna pay is non existent.

There are a few elements missing that I would really love to see. Mostly native image upload support and embedding. Live Markdown preview WYSIWYG editor.
