tkrupicka··on Repl.it Teams for Education
Hey @amasad! One of my friends is a high school CS teacher, and I've been helping design some projects for their class using Repl.it. One thing I've been looking for, is there a way to publish packages the students can import in their project? It seems like from most of the examples if we want to provide code to the students the only supported way is just including all the source code in the template. I'd really like a way to publish a Repl.it namespaced package that the students can just import, which I can update at any time.

One example: a project where students can make a bot to play a board game. We want to provide all of the client/connection logic for them so they just write the bot part. We can't easily update the source files if we need to change it after they started the template. Also some kids may edit the files and cause it to not work.

Hey! This might not be the best place to contact you, but my team is currently in crisis from a nasty Android Firestore bug. When the user's device switches networks it loses the real-time event listeners and in some cases doesn't re-establish until the app is reinstalled. We submitted a bug report and source for an app with the issue but haven't heard anything in a week. We love the product otherwise, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Unrelated but when I opened this article the react developer tools popped up: seems Motherboard isn't using the minified version of react in production. Someone over there might want to look in to that.

Thanks for the response and the writeup! Glad to hear somebody has had success with that library.

As someone who maintains a popular android camera library; what is this app using to take photos on both iOS and Android? Android can be a bit tricky with device-specific differences and Camera 1 vs. Camera 2 API changes.
tkrupicka··on Google Is Developing Its Own Uber Competitor
This concept seems like the next logical step for Google's push for mapping/autonomous vehicles. I think the most interesting challenge they'll have going forward is dealing with the same union/labor opposition that Uber has had to deal with. If they can push their driverless technology it would really change the landscape of adoption in cities.
tkrupicka··on Stop Changing UIs for No Good Reason
The UI changes to android are aimed at making the user interface more standardized across devices, and more intuitive for all users. There's something to be said about that.
tkrupicka··on Foobar
I got in to foobar a few days ago off of a search where the invitation window came up. It's a terminal interface were you can solve some challenges in python or java. I solved the first one right away, but then didn't have time to keep going until today. I can still log in, but it says my invitation has expired and I need to continue searching.
