I run a small forum and am also the moderator of some small subreddits. I must say the toxicity of sub reddits is so much higher, and people on the old "crappy" forum are so much m…

Sounds very negative, but I can confirm - it's the truth unfortunately. I'm developing windows desktop apps since nearly 30 years now and tried mostly everything Microsoft has thro…

I thought most of the existing engines out there were too complicated, so I wanted it to be easy to use. Probably that's also why it became that popular. For a modern engine today …

Ha, did exactly the same thing, since I noticed nearly no bees or other insects last year. I dedictated around 200 m² of my lawn to nature. I think it helped: This year, there wher…

I wrote a free responsive website editor (named "RocketCake"), and was surprised how complex CSS and these HTML rules are to implement, although I only needed not all of them. When…

It works nicely, your users have to download a ton of data, though. Long loading times. For nicer results, use something lightweight like CopperCube, or use a hand written lib like…

What would it change?
