Docking Uranus before deploying is wise. All you need to do then is flush and wipe Uranus to minimise your chance of an infection.

Notepad++ plus either Dropbox or Github (if related to a project) is my go to!

I assume they're starting small but want to expand it out to web interfaces, syncing and maybe even a mobile app. Text files + git do have limitations when you're on a phone or other mobile device.

My next pet projects might be online apps that work purely via saving state to the Dropbox api. So I don’t need to see your data, and you can see your data anywhere via my apps, or if really stuck as plaintext files on the device(s) you’ve synced to. If syncthing via browser is a thing that’d be cool to. Anyone interested in collaborating?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

He's trying to tell you, in an indirect, humorous way, that the name of your product, when spoken in English and pronounced a certain way, sounds like something other than the name of the planet and mythological god. His comment has been downvoted according to HN's sense of humor, or lack thereof.

Thanks for your explaining! I understood now. Honestly, I didn’t have any idea to this project but I like names of planets or gods, so I named this as Uranus!

This is such a common joke that it has meta-jokes based on it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0czFnIvKOJY

I've used Flashnote for many years, Windows-only but super-lightweight notepad-tree thing.

Now somewhat deprecated in my workflow for Colornotes and Trello, but still used regularly.
