DealMe.Cards ( http://www.dealme.cards ) is a free web app that enables people to play a physical board game they own with their friends over video chat. I developed this with the …

A generic communication API (this might exist). When I want to communicate with my customer, it handles how they receive the message - whether that's SMS, Email, IM, slack, etc.

That's how I set up the in-laws laptop with Windows 10. I kept all admin privileges in a separate account with a password only I know. They both get their own unprivileged user acc…

I use the Function keys all the time while developing - mostly for debugging. In IntelliJ, Visual Studio (through Parallels) and Chrome, the Function keys allow me to step through …

I'm surprised that several people think deleting or even suspending the account is too harsh. I'm not familiar enough with the nuances of StackOverflow - maybe it would delete othe…

Did you follow the link sent to your email address? That may be the missing piece. The front page has an example (maybe it shouldn't be actual text, it makes it seem like you can c…

Thanks so much for the feedback! Agreed on pretty much all fronts, although you bring up some points I didn't think about. The icons definitely could use some more explanation. The…

I created Invotes to simplify casual hang outs with friends. Being the central decision maker has always been a point of stress for me - my primary goal is to get together with peo…

I've strangely also found that this works the other way as well. I have strong experience in the .NET ecosystem and good experience with nix platforms and commonly related technolo…

Scala.js makes sense when everyone on your team works on every level of your stack - generally smaller teams without any specialization. I'd agree with the other commenters that it…

Agreed on the C# front. Outside of implicits, I feel like there was just the occasional google search to find what the equivalent LINQ method was in Scala. It took a couple of days…

I feel like my experience is quite a bit different. I chose play framework for my web frontend and REST API, and it's quite easy to get started and ship something quickly. Play fra…

I'm about to release an app (will probably publish a beta today - https://invotes.com ), and it actually works quite well. The compile times are probably a bit slower than a standa…

Prior to reading these arguments I would have agreed. But I suppose I have to admit that I would prefer that someone said "This feature isn't necessary - feature Y is a perfectly g…

I love that they're trying to pin this on Venmo, like it's somehow their problem and not a completely misleading article built on misinformation. > Venmo seems to be confused. Acco…

Totally agree. I don't understand what the Scala compile server does. It's far slower than using SBT (or Activator, when working on a Play project). I always just keep a console op…
