I think we can all agree this is something completely different.

Still the case unfortunately, had to go back to the store to get and adapter to connect my iPad to my Macbook.

I really really don't like what they did with version 3. What the heck is happening in my app? And what coder whants a gui for his dependencies???

So easy and super convienient if you quickly need your local server accessible from somewhere else.

On some the volume buttons can be used as GPIO

For Apple users, I use macdown[0] a stand-alone application that does basically the same thing, like it a lot.

Yes, could not agree more, Brutalism is quite hot right now (although HN seems to hold a bit of an alternative definition about what Brutalism entails) which really seems like the only reason this exists in its current form. A framework for Brutalism almosts sounds like an oxymoron to be honest.

There is actually a really interesting story behind this that was once on HN, I unfortunately can't find it anymore but it has something to do with the following process:

1. New content creator enters market. 2. Content gets uploaded to tube sites constantly, take-downs are intentionally slow and ineffective to make this process as tiresome and inefficient as possible. 3. New creator is eventually forced to upload the content themselves in order to generate leads and collect some revenue although this is very little. 4. This revenue is not and was never planned to be enough for the creator, two options: A. Quality of content and models is reduced in order to reduce costs and remain profitable. B. This does not happen, studio struggles to stay afloat and is forced to sell, it gets acquired by guess who... the parent company of the tube site.

I probably got some things wrong so feel free to correct me!

Given what you just said I think that's a great idea!

No it's perfectly fine, I just meant I can imagine there are lots of other applications of the touch pad that are currently limited by this

Pretty good point, Mac OS is already using the touch pad to input signatures (you use the touch pad as paper and your finger as a pencil) which works extremely well but currently has no visual feedback, there is probably space for much more useful applications when that becomes available. I just really has to be an OLED display though.

Ah no sorry, I meant to insinuate my Medium feed is a list of useless 'inspirational' articles without real value.

I am still a very active member of IH, read a lot of the posts and comment often. The thing that bothers me the most is that it is currently shifting from a group of people that are helping out each other to a place for people to share their (success) stories. Don't get me wrong there is currently plenty of both but it's shifting towards a more egocentric vibe.

Someone created a popular thread a while ago (3th most popular post of all time) discussing this precise thing [0]. People with posts asking for help, or just starting out (often not the most exciting content) would get lost in the noise and disappear, I often scroll down the 'new' tab a bit to catch those 0 comments posts but sometimes I am just not in a position to answer these, often due to inexperience/lack of expertise on the subject.

I don't know what the solution for this problem would be, to be honest I don't even really know what is causing the problem, an excess of 'wantrepreneurs', a problem with the audience or if the more successful IH-ers got tired of summing up the ways to monetize your side project, I don't know if a very strict 'FAQ - READ THIS BEFORE POSTING' is going to solve this or if it just needs more of a personal community feel but I do think the quality of IH as a forum is degrading by the month and that I am sad to see it do so. Fortunately there are currently plenty of gold nuggets to find between the plethora of posts that sometimes seem to resemble what is in my Medium feed.

Yes, all of the MMR on IH are verified by Stripe. No really independent of course but I think reliable enough for everyone.

- Vue.js

You can embed the Vue js file in your page, add <script></script> and you're ready to get started, no limits every feature is available. Of course for anything other than the most simple stuff you'll want some structure in your app so I use vue-cli which sets up the basic stuff.

- Cloud functions

Can be as simple as writing one in your browser in the azure/GCP/AWS console and as "complex" as using for example the serverless framework to deploy.

That's it!

Forum guy =/= nightmare letter guy

Was looking for something exactly like this the other day! No idea this existed, this will especially be great while stubbing/mocking in tests.

For mac you can use FlixTools which is pretty decent

I love that the site itself looks super shady and has no HTTPS

Good idea, I'll implement that it's a bit misleading indeed.

Ah thank you so much! No I did not use a CSS framework, somehow I still very often give it another shot when designing a new website (this time I decided to give BootstrapVue a chance) but I just really really don't like them (https://hackernoon.com/a-case-against-css-frameworks-bea9a69... <- here is why but not really relevant TBH). To sum up that link, they just get in the way. I do have one golden rule, which I also almost every time try to skip but end up going back to do it anyway which is to design my website upfront in something like Sketch (or Photoshop etc.) because in these applications you are not guided in the direction of what standard HTML looks like/what is easy with CSS, usually this difference is day/night for me. So design wise I build everything from scratch, there is one funny detail though... I am absolutely certain that if I was not using Sketch my designs would look different, I really like the thin gray borders it provides by default, minimize your tools so they don't shape your design but you do!

This should be fixed now and all the new listings should be up (until a few hours ago), I'm working on making it ~real time which should be ready next month.

Working on this, the subscribe bar already takes into account (that a job can have multiple open positions listed in it) but I want to split post into multiple entries too so it represents the data better.

You might want to put it in the search box as a term and include it in your subscription by clicking the checkbox (you can search for multiple things by separating them with comma's) I'll eventually make this easier as I have gotten multiple request for this but that's a good temporary solution. Hope this helps!

Haha I KNEW this would happen, next level dyslectic here, tried so hard to avoid this but names are always hard, should be fixed now, thanks!

Ah sorry for this, the listings from the past ~8 hours have not yet been included, this is a temporary bug and should be fixed soon!

EDIT: Should be fixed now!

Ah that's a bit sloppy, thanks you for the kind words! Luckily a minor bug, I expect I'll have this fixed around tomorrow.

Good one! Added it to my TODO's. In the future I'm also planning to make the link visiting a bit easier

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! If you have any questions I'm glad to answer them!

- Tech This application uses Vue.js on the front-end, GCP cloud functions on the back end for all the processing with GCP Datastore as DB for the listings and Firebase for hosting. I wanted something that was easy to maintain and where the cost would nicely scale with the usage.

For a while I used it almost exclusively until I realized how much I was fucking my users over just because I was to lazy to properly implement a password system (still do not store them myself) besides the already huge power these corporations hold you make it very hard for users to delete their account with them by letting GlobalCorp™ hold their other accounts hostage.
