This actually looks really useful if you have multiple screens. (I tend to type on my laptop connected to a monitor above it.) I keep concocting shell prompts that are more and more complicated (current git branch, IP, python virtualenv and so on and so on) -- this might just be the ticket to stop wasting time on that.

#32Google Apps/Calendar but no CalDAV for those of us who left the google mothership takes away a big reason I'd use this.

#33Why have programmers (with jobs, usually) become the modern-day mendicants, begging pizzas and beer off of passers by? Or maybe they're like buskers, peddling their amateur/down-home status? What is the "donations" thing about? Doesn't it make people (with jobs) feel ashamed? Can you really say you're in open source, if you've got your little cardboard sign and upside down hat on all your projects?
> Can you really say you're in open source, if...
...your source is open? Yeah, probably.

#34wow this little CLI made my day! just installed it and used sample.conf and it already looks great, will customize it later but this will be used often by me, as I live and breath with CLI daily

#35There's a detailed screenshot but I can't zoom to see the detail because the website designer has gone the extra mile to make it non-zoomable. Why do people do this?
I do not know but I encountered this more often than not. Direct links to images are a rare occurrence in my experience. I usually just right click on the image, then click on "Open Image in New Tab" which will get me what I want. Off-topic but: was it not Google that tried to work around this so one could not do even this in the search results?

yes, exactly. Why do musicians, who have a job (e.g. as a teacher) charge for concerts they give in their private time?
Sure, they invested time and money into into it, but they have a JOB which should pay their rent. Pretty rude for them to ask the audience to contribute back.

Zooming works fine here. Mobile Safari iPhone SE.
That's because Safari disregards this option, as it is hostile towards users.

Came here to say this. Potentially interested but I've lost all interest because I can't zoom the page to actually look at the screenshot. I consider this bad behavior and I don't reward bad behavior.

#40I like this. Might actually use this as an always-on dashboard on one of my spare PCs. Probably could find a neat use for it.
