I'm not at all surprised about the response here. We are a community of people who love function over form (the perfect emblem being the purely functional design of our beloved HN)…

It seems there are many ways to skin a cat. Do engineers work directly with designers? Is it all done through a product manager? Do you have a design system? Do you have a correspo…

I already found it frustratingly ambiguous that there could be more than one Manchester in the US, then I checked and it turns out there are more than 30

Good job preserving the HN spirit! My only feedback is the gray text (#808080) on the dark gray background (#222222), has a contrast ratio of ~4:1 which some people may find diffic…

It seems like this is not simply about the decision of whether to allow http by default and security of dependencies. I'm not familiar with the surrounding politics and don't parti…

> Should you review the code of all imported modules? This is virtually impossible. I wouldn't be surprised if this was exactly the direction that Deno was trying to move towards. …

Would you say linux is insecure because a user can download an arbitrary shell script and run it? I know it's not an identical problem, but it does demonstrate that we probably agr…

This is really cool. Do you selectively render depending on the zoom level? (I looked for source but could only find the minified js on your github)

I'm surprised by the stark difference in density between some of the boroughs. E.g. Dalston has very few trees compared with Islington. Is that because of actual difference in dens…

That would be amazing. Feel free to update me using my email (in profile) if you want.

Looks slick, great job on launching! Any possibility of a way to purchase outside of the AppStore? I appreciate this is extra effort for possibly little extra reach but I have mana…

Interesting to see the comments suggesting that we should expect the NHS to pay if there is a problem that needs solving. It seems the implication is that labour should never be do…

Username checks out (also congratulations on making it!)

I've worked with a number of bootcamp graduates and I've found the experience extremely refreshing. There are perspectives, skillsets and domain expertise that can come from having…

It's refreshing that the author acknowledges the nuances around tradeoffs of using, and not using, GraphQL. Having used REST (with swagger/openAPI), gRPC and now graphQL, the most …

Thanks for the insightful contribution to the conversation
