    Prehistoric "default devices" list in Chrome Devtools

    The default list of devices in Chrome Devtools is so out of date. Some of these devices are long gone / forgotten, while newer ones are missing. Google, please fix this! Just, plea…

    Julian (the author) is a genius. v4 has been in the making for some time, but, boy, is it worth the wait! I have used v3 (I am using it on my landing page and even built a small ga…

    That's because they drink a lot of water, and everybody knows water is good for you. :)))

    Yes. Yes. Yes. A million times, yes. I can't stress this enough: always put visible timestamps on all content (be it web or otherwise, online or offline) and current version number…

    At least the default, non-opinionated flavor, without the tables and math formula support and stuff like that.

    You are missing the point. I am spending most of my day inside VS Code, using it for writing Markdown content as well. Apples to oranges. I don't want the author of some 3rd party …

    This was not about Google Docs at all, but about Google Drive. As anybody knows, you can let 3rd party apps do extra stuff with your Drive content, but the point is: why not native…

    Already using a Synolgy DSM server - and it's a great experience - but, most (the rest) of the world is running on Google services, this is the reality, so, when it comes to sharin…

    It's not like Markdown is some rare, unheard of format. I think it's the most used file format for technical docs / content / notes these days, and it's here to stay (because it's …

    Sure, if you are trusting 3rd party access to your data. Yet another layer of trust for a (niche) service that might just vanish into thin air. No, thank you.

    Probably so. I agree. From a simple UX/UI perspective, there's the "+" button (for creating new Drive items), so, adding "New Markdown Document" or "New Text Document" would bring …

    Besides the pure textual representation of such files (.md, .txt), you still have the same problem for any (natively) supported Docs file format. It is, somehow, in the user's own …

    I use that since day one, I love it as a product. But still, this is not about notes, it's about supporting a simple, text-based file format.

    Comment #36466861

    I think lots of people would keep their (plain text markdown) notes in Drive instead of using yet another tool / app / service for that. Besides, having unencrypted text files at y…

    No Markdown support in Google Drive after all these years

    Why does Google not (want to?) support the full Markdown experience in Google Drive? I'm not talking about the limited, mostly useless support in Docs, but supporting opening, read…

    Who is un-hiring (layoffs)?

    Yeah, we have the usual "Who's hiring?" discussions every now and then... but in these troubling times we should run a thread of where the layoffs are happening, to see the big pic…

    OP, please, spellcheck your articles. I found so many typos and spelling errors in that article, I don't even know where to start. So, I'll just start with this: please use a spell…
