  • Just want to plug markdown as a phenomenal resource. You can use it to write documentation both online and offline, and with pandoc you can even use it to create beautiful PDF documents from your computer. Here’s some places I use markdown daily, some additional resources, and tips

    • GitHub parses markdown files from their web UI by default
    • Obsidian uses markdown for their note taking application
    • Pandoc can convert Markdown files to other formats including PDF
    • Because it’s plaintext, there are fewer formatting errors when moving between applications and you don’t even need an application to read them
    • Plaintext also means documents can be easily tracked via source control
    • Lemmy and Reddit both use Markdown
    • Discord uses a variation of Markdown


  • Can you give an example of websites not supporting Firefox?

    From a personal use perspective, I have rarely encountered sites that do not work on Firefox, especially in recent years. Two years ago I may have needed to keep a Chromium browser around but recently I have had no issues.

    And from a professional perspective, dropping support for Firefox would be asinine. Most modern web frameworks handle browser compatibility for you, and you essentially get it for free these days. It is almost no extra effort to be compatible to all modern browsers, so why stop? Firefox is has great browser support in general and is far better than the current state of Safari

    I agree that they don’t have a device which they can use to force or promote their browser like other companies can. Which is a shame and is why they should perhaps try to advertise more aggressively. However, it’s a free, open source browser, I don’t really want them to advertise or be profit driven



  • Flipboard is a little more customizable but not sure if it meets all your requirements.

    You could also give Pocket a try, it has a “Discover” mode that could be what you’re looking for. Made by Mozilla so (hopefully) that comes with a little more privacy built in. It’d be my personal choice, but I’m not sure what features you need







  • I’ve never developed in Vue, personally, just mostly in React. However, I don’t think that the framework is that important at the end of the day. Your app will be plenty fast no matter what option you choose, assuming you ensure you are following the guidelines set by the framework, and React is plenty easy if you have enough experience under your belt.

    Whats more important is making sure you, and your team, can understand and maintain the code. If more of your team is comfortable with Vue, then stick with Vue. If you’re thinking your team will expand, and you want to leverage the fact that React is the better-known framework to have more options for hires, then choose React. Choose what makes the most sense for your team and your application.


  • I’m looking forward to seeing what they’re replacing it with. I will miss the hype around the battlepass, but I also acknowledge that it’s been dying down over the years. I grew too used to it

    Some of the best Dota updates are the ones that shake things up in a major way (7.33, talents, neutral items) because they’re new and interesting. Maybe applying that same concept to out of game content will have the same effect
