    Gatsby produces static html sites and then rehydrates them once loaded, which is what makes it feel so fast. Elm dynamically generates the html. There has been some work to generat…

    (author here) I'd disagree they are naive. These all stem from my team's experiences developing platforms at a large international bank. We have dozens of packages that share many …

    Looks great and useful! One small UX issue I've just hit - I missed the "edit" button in the "Personal Information" box when viewing a contact for a few moments. Kept trying to cli…

    It may be a difference between contractors and perms, but it seems not many actually have a github or similar portfolio. We're more interested in their previous experience and if i…

    The publishing modal seems to have a couple of bugs: 1 - When trying to add release notes it closes the modal every time you press a letter, though the letter is still there when y…
