That’s just not true. I’m from Europe but lived in Boulder for several years. For example this shooting (1) happened 5 min walking distance from my home. My kids’ school had severa…

You can pan by holding down Space key (and then use mouse to drag the board). In general Whimsical's UX patterns are quite similar to Figma, Sketch and other UI design tools.

(co-founder of Whimsical here) Thanks for the mention! Couple fun facts - Whimsical is written 100% in Clojure and we are self-funded ( https://whimsical.com/business/why-bootstrap…

Thanks for the mention! We built Whimsical for a simple reason - all the existing diagramming apps had poor UX. It didn't feel like any of them were really optimized to visualize i…

Similar story here - started with DraftJS but it was kind of cumbersome. Slate in comparison is much more flexible and we've been using it in production for almost a year now. In f…

It's an extension to re-frame that we built. It addresses some of the (subjective) shortcomings of re-frame, mainly the over-reliance on keywords. We'll be open-sourcing it soon.

Exactly, the best interface for kitchen-ware is physical knobs. I hate all those touch-surface buttons that usually come integrated on stoves like this. They have no feedback and t…

So you can get a relatively high-end induction stove from AEG for $1000 with a similarly minimalist design. Um, $3000 for touch screen?

We are building something exactly like that (native for mac first). You can sign-up for beta here: http://www.cobookapp.com

Most enterprises have a very strong culture of maintaining status quo as extensively as possible. Especially in IT departments. Even big software enterprises rely on 5-10 year old …

5000 tasks per day is of course far from limit. we used to build Mysql queues that process close to 100 tasks per second.

The article didn't mention the main advantage of storing queues in DB - transactions. Say you need to update other records in DB while processing a job with 100% consistency. If it…
