I switched to Protonmail as my main email & have been very happy. Every time I go back to check my old Gmail (I use it for signing up to products I know will spam me) I get very ir…

I love the social software podcast! It feels like I'm listening to real people building products, plus following along with Colleen Schnettler build her product has been really ins…

I'm thinking Heroku. The experiences I've heard from developers writing for them has been super positive.

> I wonder if this is consistent with what others have seen or if it's something unique to this project? I've spoken to a few other GitHub app creators, it's a fairly common experi…

You can use Turbolinks on any front end project (I use it on my static sites), it has a standalone JS library.

https://gorails.com/ & https://www.driftingruby.com/ are both fantastic!

High beam lights which turn off in sections to not blind other drivers. They're pretty neat! You can drive on a highway, have high beams lighting up signs but not dazzling other dr…

I did the same. Now I’ve stopped using reddit as a news source, I feel a lot more upbeat. Plus my news cycle is a lot more localised now, which is a win! I also unsubscribed from s…

I believe Visa has started working on requiring platforms "Provide customers with a digital or SMS cancellation method", though due to Covid it's been pushed back a year [1]. 1. ht…

I removed my Chrome Extension from the store in February. It was averaging about £30 per a month in sales and the cost of keeping up-to-date with the changes in Chrome/the extensio…

I do Rails full time and most the CoffeeScript lives in the "legacy" side projects. Most projects I'm on have moved to vanilla JavaScript or ES6 via Webpack. I don't think it's dea…

I think GitHub isn't trying to push the marketplace as hard as they were a year ago. I suspect the success of GitHub Actions makes the whole marketplace a bit of a risk they'd rath…

I've seen a few portals (Like Heroku Dataclips / Metabase) which offer this. That said, I shoehorned it into my daily routine otherwise I'd just end up not checking it for a few we…

I regretted the name after launch. It seemed fun & playful at first, but soon its limitations became pretty apperent. Next time I'm just going to use a "Does what it says on the ti…

If anyone is curious, the source code of the now shutdown app is available on GitHub ( https://github.com/PigCI/App ).

You're not the only one who does this. I have a small collection of thank you emails I've sent and received I use for motivation. It's definitely not to common, but I think it's gr…

I can live with the full page refresh, but my biggest pain point is working with sub accounts on trello. They store the sub account in a cookie instead of in the URL, so if I want …

Recently I was asked to help out with a PHP project for work, I made the switch to rails almost a decade ago & haven’t looked back since so I was excited to see how PHP felt. I was…

Once you factor in the learning time for AWS per a developer the cost is even higher. At my previous company we had project with an AWS deploy process that only two developers coul…

I'm currently building a Rails app with a event driven development (EDD) approach. This post makes me tingle. After building apps with easily way to much logic in controllers, EDD …

> A complex web page might call the server 150 times as it loads to completion. That irked me a little. I'm assuming this includes fonts & images (not a bunch of ajax requests), bu…

My food delivery service (Ocado) at some point added a "Here is a recipe, want to add the ingredients to your shop" button. For me that totally halted my desire to use services lik…

I wrote a small chrome extension to reload assets as they change. In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t have many users, but it’s always nice to hear from someone when it makes …
