Hello, dear friends! I am trying to breathe life into my reddit community /r/gifexplainer which is dedicated to educational slide-based GIFs, that are like knowledge cards. The ide…

It's just awesome! I'm so tired of feed-like layouts, they are not for humans.

Well, I just thought you are giving a negative connotation to it while I think there's nothing wrong if the thing is your hobby :)

I see what you are talking about, but your parable has another side that no one sees - the guy learned a lot of different things in the process :) For people who enjoy learning and…

I agree. But, you know, enthusiasts enjoy holywars. And there's a thin hazy line between a "true" and a "cheater".

Yes, but it's not about the feel of the product which is definitely there, but about the skills required to design. I, personally, would never call anybody who designed his own com…

Well, his argument is not about the number of chips but rather component origins. If you are about to pretend that you are in the 80s and you develop a computer in that time, you'v…

A friend of mine, an 8-bit enthusiast, calls usage of ATMEGA chips "cheating" :) "True" 8bitter relies solely on component base of the 80s.

After reading the title and watching first 2 seconds I thought it will fire a rocket launcher and the car would go up in flames thanks to AR.

At a space scale it's a close pass.

Somehow I still get those chills while reading source code of programming languages interpreters / compilers. I guess it's like getting to the origins of life, or something.

Just imagine one day a true alien signal comes ringing, and what the public reaction would be? "Yeah, right. Again."

Anger was an initial reaction :) I got cooled down pretty soon. We share the same ethnicity but live in different countries now. I think it has more to do with personal traits than…

My product is featured on BitsDuJour today, and early in the morning I got a purchase notification with dramatically familiar name and email. I refunded the order right away and co…

My product came out of my own pains of providing end user documentation and tech support, so how can I not recommend it? 50% off BFCM. Here's a post that summarizes my work, at lea…

A lot (if not most) of remote workers live in places where shared working space is not available and general purpose offices are too expensive.

If yes, what motivates you to join?

It does not work this way since Google started to rely on behavioral metrics of content, not just keywords. Useful articles that people read and refer to frequently, go up, junk go…

Oh, I understand. My primary objective is on end user manuals, not developer docs.

I am well aware of Zeal, and it's cool for docs that people read from cover to cover. My primary objective was to not to create a new format, but rather provide means for authoring…

Epub suffers from the same flaws - only one language per file, freeform styling that makes company-wide style consistency problematic (and when we talk about a ERP system with thou…

I know at least a dozen :) Just kidding. I know a lot more. Enterprise systems tend to have so complicated business processes that a detailed help file is a must.
