    I made the decision to leave Github a couple months ago when I retired and started heavily working on personal projects. I like the idea of radicle and used it for a while, but it'…

    I’d be interested in seeing those if you’re open to sharing.

    Insane how the entire global economy moves things of this value around all day every day and we have no problem with it. Are you suggesting it's impossible to outsource development…

    Why doesn't he then do that and pay someone $$ to build it? This is just marketing for whatever this web3 thing is.

    One more thought - any consideration of hooking this to Cloudflare's queue? Then you could optionally connect another worker to that and e.g. persist everything in their D1 SQLite …

    That works perfectly for what I'm using it for. Thanks for building this!

    This is great. I'm going to use this with something I'm working on. The edge behavior is just what I need. When you say limitations are a "relatively small number of clients need t…

    Been playing in beer leagues for a long time. There's one for everyone - whether it's hockey (my vice), baseball, softball, basketball, etc. - just tons of options. It's half about…

    Nothing is ready to be shared yet, but when it is I'll announce it here first for beta testers: https://lists.sr.ht/~scooter/mototripper-dev You can subscribe by sending an email t…

    It's open source so when it's ready you can fork it and call it anything you want. Some of the features are meant to be specific to motorcyclists. And as far as getting the word ou…

    I'd love to hear more about what improvements you'd like to see. Nothing is ready to be shared yet, but when it is I'll announce it here first for beta testers: https://lists.sr.ht…

    Everything has been done at least once. If we don't try to improve on what's out there, no progress will ever made. I think Osmand works fine for some things but really sucks for p…

    This is great. I've been working on an adventure motorcycling trip planning app which has similar requirements of being able to work offline as you ride your preplanned trip. Yours…

    Let's just accept you can build just about anything in any language. When I see posts like "I built X in Rust," I just assume the process was so onerous that they had to impress ot…

    I have a couple apps that only I use or are used by a handful of friends. For hobby projects, I never regret building things that I think are useful but I can't be assed to try to …

    Here's my question - NYT could charge me $5 and then deduct from my balance on a per-article basis. Do we need crypto to enable those transactions? If micropayments made sense, why…

    I use something similar for snapshot testing in Go. It's been really useful for regression testing for anything that can be serialized to []byte. I've used it for CLI output and te…

    I'll give a bit of a different perspective since I've never worked as a professional developer, unlike the majority of the folks here. Don't be afraid to reinvent yourself in a com…
