I agree, I prefer OOP to much of the spaghetti and 5 layer nested functions that is popular now. This feels like one of those cyclical things that will come back in vogue at some point. People will have trouble maintaining these systems over time, then "discover" OOP and encapsulation, write blog posts about how it is The New Way, etc.

We have some React class components in our system. People who are < 3 years into their career don't like them as they've been told they are complicated and generally considered harmful. Over time, these people tend to come around and realize that class components can be very useful for more complex components.

That's great to hear it'll be useful!

Thanks for the heads up on sponsorships, we hadn't thought about accepting them. Currently the project is effectively funded by us at useanvil.com, but we'll talk about opening that up!

We added a number of things that came to mind while trying to get our docs dialed in ourselves. Glad to see that others were looking for these same enhancements! Let us know if you run into any issues

Ah that would definitely be interesting, you could break out queries / mutations where it is an input, output, or related types where it is a resolver type

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I can see how it could get out of hand with that many types and mutations. The single page situation would probably break down in that scenario too. We'll think about how it might be able to scale. Feel free to open an issue on the repo and we can work it out together.

Hey all, we couldn't find exactly what we wanted in a documentation generator, so we wrote our own. Let us know if you have any questions!

Hey! Anvil founder here. Anvil’s goal is to help the world move beyond PDF’s and paper forms. We are building a simple online tool to help anyone convert their existing paperwork into online workflows that can be shared directly with customers / employees.

Imagine being able to create a TurboTax-like experience for any form or set of forms. Then instead of emailing around sensitive information, and manually typing it into other software systems, have the information automatically synced to where it is needed. This is what we are trying to do with Anvil.

As we build out our conversion tool, we have been dog-fooding it by converting a bunch of forms we need into Anvil Flows. Today we are launching a subset of these forms for anyone to experience the joy of filling out an Anvil form when compared to a musty old PDF or even worse, paper form.

If there are forms you hate filling out, post in the comments and we will prioritize getting those converted into Anvil Flows!

This is sad. Looking forward to the post-mortems. A question in the interim: Did rethink ever consider building a SaaS business around the product? What were the reasons against it? Were there (a lot of) customers asking for a hosted version?

Are there certain types of continuous views where continuous triggers work better or worse? I can imagine things like alerts on moving averages could get tricky and possibly send repeated alerts when predefined thresholds are crossed multiple times.

You guys should check out OctaveWealth 401k (https://octavewealth.com/). They are also YC, have a flat fee 401k (no percent based fees!), and build their investments models in-house.

This is exactly the case that is better as a result of these optimizations.

A fix is currently in progress: https://github.com/atom/text-document

Assembler programmers of that vintage were crazy. I did a fair amount of reverse engineering of Honda engine computers[0] from the late 80's early 90's and this kind of thing was the status quo. These things had 256 _bytes_ of memory, and they used every single one, some of them being multiplexed to do multiple things.

There are some interesting, digestible bits in the serial interrupt handler[1]

It does, just not for `untitled` files.

What platform? What kind of mouse are you using? The team uses all different mice. I use an apple magic mouse, and it works well.

You can change the scroll sensitivity in the settings.

Try the new editor, it may help with this.

I'm with you. I read this article hoping for an explanation of what they might do with the money. I suppose it might be a case of 'raise more than you need' because they are hot right now.

I'm a fan of secret, but where is it going? What is the bigger play? Surely there must be one for > $8 million.

Generally hubbers use QuickTime and gif brewery.

There are a number of things: packages that use native modules, menu concerns, app packaging, etc.

There is no online component. So yes, you can edit offline.

We dont support IE7 in Easel, and have not checked this in IE7. Feel free to do so and let me know if it works!

Thanks! This was exactly our train of thought as well. We needed to be able to open windows and menus, wait for the user to do something in the editor, etc. The setup, teardown, and bind options per step in tourist made it really easy to do everything we needed to do.

Thanks for the heads up Max!

Thanks for the feedback. We just use the eventing. It would be pretty easy to include the BB Events mixin in there. Maybe that's 0.1

Hmm, what happens? I have the same setup, and it works just fine. Are there errors in the console?

Nasty gal is such an amazing story, and definitely a great example.

I came in here to say this. People are multi-faceted. They can be risk-averse in one area, but risk-taking in another. I suspect there are better indicators on someone's nature than how they cross the street. IMO, just how they carry themselves is probably a better indicator than whether or not they wait for the light to cross.

We dont take the sidebars into account on the viewport calculation :/. We've been thinking a bit about how to make it better on small screens.

That's great to hear. If you have any questions/concerns, etc. as you get deeper into it, shoot me an email: ben@easel.io. I'm here to help.
