Definitely! You should check out https://base.run - it's a solution targeted to developers that want to quickly build and test out ideas or internal tools

I think you are right. It's much easier to compare old and new versions of a program if they are text. But we also should remember that we developed tools like diff to work with programming in text. If instead we were using a different paradigm we could explore the equivalent of diff in that model. Merge conflicts in text are often not real logic conflicts but just re-ordering things in a text file, or formatting changes. If we used a projectional editor, one that treats code as an AST instead of just flat text like lamdu - https://github.com/lamdu/lamdu we would need to create a new way to look at the evolution of changes in the code but it could be more meaningful than just looking at text.

Also you could have a timeline that shows you what got changed instead of comparing two text files. There can be lots of ways to achieve the same goal, understanding what changed and how, than just diffing two text files.

yes absolutely! I think things along the idea of programming by example like Flash Fill https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/video/flash-fill-fl... or direct manipulation of graphics or other objects would be very interesting. I think in order to move away from text it would be important to find use-cases where other forms of describing computational processes would give the person an order of magnitude more leverage over doing the same thing in text. The idea of programming by example would make it so that testing skills are more valuable than breaking down a process into logical steps.

Yeah it's definitely crazy! A few people are working on this from different angles. There is research https://harc.ycr.org/project/realtalk/, side projects that explore Jupyter notebook like programming environments: https://www.maria.cloud/intro, or https://www.runkit.com; my team and I are working on https://www.clay.run: making it easier to prototype by allowing developers to write code that is instantly running without setup or configuration and 'fork' other people's code to have your own running copy.

Can't access this using my iPad. Microsoft's site claims that mobile Safari does not play well with HTML5 and offers to let me download IE9. If I continue anyway, I get a broken site. Saddening.

PayPal is very simpel to use. Another suggestion is Stripe (I have no affiliation with them but our team just got an invite to try out their product and it is great), ask for an invite, their solution is very simple to use both for you and for the users - https://stripe.com/

Hey Taki, I've wanted that feature too and we built that into our social news site called The Shared Web (www.thesharedweb.com). The content is pulled from Twitter or posted by other people on the site and aggregated by URL. We'll be looking into pulling directly from sources so you can follow RSS feeds too soon. Would love to know if it works for you.

It's very similar to Hacker News but you use your real identity and there are many topics. You subscribe to the topics that you care about and things bubble up based on whether you follow the people who posted them or not.

That way you get content from the people that you care about but you also get content that the crowd cares about as long as it is in a topic that you follow. You get both the socially relevant content and the top crowdsourced content.

Hey Derpaderp. It's not spam a few of the comments are from friends of ours and early users that have been using it for a while and enjoy it, that's where the praise is coming from. Would love to know what you think can be improved?

This is a feature that we've been thinking about -> related articles, we haven't implemented it yet. Are you thinking you would post a few sites that you like and get similar articles based on those topics and those articles?

Would love to discuss with you the heuristics that we are using in more detail and see what you think about them.

This is hilarious. I particularly would like to attend the eating swords and watering fake plants.

Sure. I can help you out with that. I'm in the NYC area.

Credentials : Ex-Program Manager at MSFT and know how the interview system works there. Went through Techstars and Co-Founder of startup called The Shared Web.

Follow me on Twitter and we can DM to set up a time, if you are interested.

I find this post really interesting. I've been thinking about this space and those 4 particular use cases for some time now and my co-founders and I started a company - The Shared Web - to make a product to tackle the last 2 cases in particular. We built a service where you subscribe to the topics you care about and get content shared from the people you trust. We show you content that is popular from the whole community but emphasize content from the people that you "follow". Would love to have you try it out at www.thesharedweb.com and let me know what you think.

You're right. We were inspired to do this after using rapportive and finding it very useful to have the picture of the person who is emailing you show up.

Will do. Thanks for the suggestion.

Great suggestions. We'll take a look at those.

endor.se looks very interesting. We may consider the ability to enter any site you want and we'll try to grab the fav icon for it, so we can show it nicely in the signature.

Will take a look at that right now.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll definitely disclose in it in the example and think of a more subtle way to help other people find out about it. We actually added it in at the end - that's why it is not in the picture example - and we thought it would be okay because you can delete the link once you paste the signature in Gmail. If people like this, we'll definitely consider spending some more time adding a few themes/styles, or open it up so others can create themes for it.
