Just following up that we've made it more explicit while we work on this:

mschoeningon Notion leaks email addresses of all editors of any public page

When you start contributing to a page you see this:

This is pretty meh. We will deploy more explicit messaging while we mitigate this properly.

mschoeningon Notion leaks email addresses of all editors of any public page

I agree. We will do better.

mschoeningon Notion leaks email addresses of all editors of any public page

Hi, this is Max from Notion.

First: This is documented and we also warn users when they publish a page. But, that’s not good enough!

Second: We don’t like this and are looking at ways to fix this either by removing the PII from the public endpoints or by replacing it with an email proxy similar to GitHub’s equivalent functionality for public commits.

P.S: Some folks here have speculated that this should be a 1 minute fix. Unfortunately that is not the case. :(

mschoeningon Grug Design

It is not. The original is much better.

Sometimes things don't have a reason beyond: "It was fun to make." shrug

Grug wanted me to let you know that Grug sad and Grug will fix.

mschoeningon No Cookie for You

We think cookie banners are horrible and couldn't design one that isn't disrespectful to you all – developers. Also, privacy is good?

Sometimes there is no conspiracy theory. :)

Good question! We just shipped GitHub Discussions to millions of developers and we can learn whether people use and like the product by looking at whether people are creating discussions, customizing categories, and answering questions.

The argument that you need to follow users around every step of the way to build great products is simply untrue.

mschoeningon October 21 post-incident analysis

The engineering team sketched them out by hand and were later translated into vectors by the design team.

The vector graphics were made in Sketch (https://www.sketchapp.com). Another popular alternative at GitHub is Figma (https://www.figma.com/).

mschoeningon IPFS-Screenshot – Like Cloudapp but with IPFS

Creator of CloudApp here (no longer involved). This is really neat, thanks for sharing! You could potentially monitor ~/Desktop on OS X and identify screenshots with:

  mdls 'Screen Shot 2016-10-24 at 4.14.54 PM.png' | grep IsScreenCapture

That would match the original behavior even closer.

Edited for brevity

mschoeningon Heroku 2X Dynos: Resize your dynos with twice the resources (private beta)

This is Max from Heroku. Would love to know more about your usecase for a 1 Dyno non-idling app. Feel free to drop me an email (max@...).

mschoeningon [dead]

Hacker News' design has a lot of personality and I would never recommend redesigning it (for the same reason I enjoy Craigslist's "design") but making it resolution independent and maybe even responsive sounds like a great idea.

Personally I prefer a slightly larger serif font when reading comments on here which is why I wrote a quick dotjs [1] script that now also replaces the upvote arrow GIF:

mschoeningon New Heroku Status Site

For what it's worth we've (Heroku) thought about open-sourcing ours. Not sure how valuable this is to others — let us know.
