I'll try I suppose. But if it's not accessible then I don't see how I can :)

This looks really great! I've suggested it to some people in my team. Can I ask, how accessible is it? Is the knowledge base accessible to people using a screen reader for instance…

I completely agree, the start stop thing never worked for me. I also didn't like the idea of those apps that track what applications you have open, seemed really creepy. I built a …

I've built https://billabl.co with this idea in mind. It's early days and I'm just hacking on it as a side project. I use the event title for the project name, or sometimes the cli…

Discourse[1] is the only one I'm aware of. It's open source and pretty easy to self-host. I'd be interested in any alternatives that people rate highly. In particular I have a clie…

This looks like a fantastic product, nice one! I've been shopping around for logging solutions like this for years. I can't find anything that meets our requirements: We're a small…

That gitlab link was a good read, thanks! One of the points was that migrations should always be reversible. I’ve struggled with this in the past when it comes to migrations that c…

Thanks! I kinda suspected this would be the answer really. I'll have to be more proactive about communicating these things. I'm generally on top of other communications. Setting my…

I'm a freelance web developer, I work from home, in London (UK). I tend to have 2-4 clients on the go at any one time. I keep my time very flexible, I have a young child and I want…

Also, where is the data kept? Is this GDPR safe? I'm in the UK and I'd like to keep this company/user data somewhere safe :)

I've had this exact idea floating around in my head for a while now. Really excited that you've gone and built it :) As with any social network, the hard part is getting lots of pe…

Ha! Cheers! I’ve not checked on my phone for a while, that’s definately not right.

I found the context switch trigger too hard a problem to solve. The real problem for me was that I found any app that tried to watch me work just too creepy. So then any simple app…

It tickled me that Westminster University has a policy of not allowing people to speak who are intolerant of free speech. Presumably no representative of the university can ever sp…

The right to erasure is not absolute, it only applies in certain circumstances. Here's the UK ICO's advice on it: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-da... In…

I made vantage years ago, to scratch an itch I had with using Docker for dev work. I have a bunch of bash scripts in my repo for; spinning up the dev server, running DB migrations,…

I really like using a calendar for this. I use Google Calendar and iCloud in Sunrise, on my MacBook, iPhone, and iPad. Events get a title that provide the project. They then get mo…

I know it doesn't matter but it strangely bothers me that the example code defines a function's keyword arguments as kawargs.

A copyright notice like this on a webpage does not serve to assert your claim to the copyrights of the page. You get those automatically. They serve to assist third parties that ar…

I've been thinking of learning how to make iOS apps, it's on the to-do list. I was thinking that I should learn Swift seeing as it's the new shiny. Should I? Would I be better serv…

I usually think of free speech in this context to mean freedom from state intervention. The state shouldn't be allowed to treat you differently from others because of what you say.…

I remember hacking print "Hello world!" into print "Hello World!" and crossing my fingers, pressing the button, and being amazed that it worked! I was convinced that somehow it wou…

I've had this conversation with a friend of mine the other day and he raised an interesting point. When the NHS was first being proposed the doctors at the time were strongly again…

I disagree with very little of what she said. OK, so she doesn't know how to code, she admitted that, and she doesn't know a great deal about technology. She confuses graphic desig…
