ankyth27··on Steve Wozniak announces tech education platform Woz U
Would be more appreciated if fortunate people like WOZ could do something good for non-code fields as well. There are already a lot of platforms which teach all of these. I respect WOZ for everything but I think there are more opportunities/problems in other fields of education as well. Am I missing something?
ankyth27··on Ask HN: How do you author your eBooks in 2017?
I use ms word and PowerPoint, since most of ebooks which I make are 30-100 page marketing materials I find hubspot's ready (google them) made templates very helpful. For cover I use canva and PowerPoint.

ankyth27··on Five minute guide to better typography
Read this initially a few days back through codrops. This information did helped me a lot and the idea of choosing a font with 3+ variations is just awesome. Very helpful, recommended for everyone.
ankyth27··on Show HN: Moocha.io – A search engine for MOOCs
Helpful work. Simplistic UI and fast results. Would love to see some more websites like khanacademy, udemy etc in the results too. Some filters like cost/starting in/difficulty level etc. will be helpful in making an informed decision and I am sure data should be available from the original course page. Best of luck.
ankyth27··on Request for Education Startups
I agree on the point that coding is not for everyone. But basic skills like problem-solving could help kids explore more things as well. I correct my point here and assert that like other extra-curricular activities, the impact of problem-solving should also and possibilities of what code can do, could also be taught at primary level. It could at least motivate some kids to pursue it further, so schools could play an important role in finding that motivation/interest. We don't need rockstar coders to teach fundamentals of programming, rather we should teach children how to learn and do basic handholding, and to guide them on the path ahead on either online courses or code camps. Thanks again for your viewpoint it was genuinely helpful and appropriate.
ankyth27··on Request for Education Startups
Thanks for your viewpoint, I strongly believe that it sounds more logical. I was suggesting to learn problem-solving in the beginning and gradually progressing it to coding. Interschool/college code camps may take it from there. Exploring many areas of interest in the beginning years of life definitely has an advantage.
ankyth27··on Request for Education Startups
A professional football player starts playing at the age of 4-5, a professional dancer starts practicing right from childhood, but I see most people only get interested in code when they need a job and they start fearing. Our education system should introduce problem solving and coding right from primary classes, teachers should be trained exclusively for these, and the big G, F and others should collaborate with government/NGOs to produce better curriculum and teachers.
ankyth27··on AR.js: Efficient Augmented Reality for the Web
Nice work, With huge companies picking up AR and VR and making them more mainstream, I think soon we will see more developers in these fields and finally some very useful applications.

Parse, react and now this. Why would I now learn any new Facebook tech?
ankyth27··on Ask HN: Experienced JavaScript programmers, what are your recommendations?
Not a very experienced js programmer myself, but I have heard this again and again from professionals : master ES6 first. Choose React, Vue or Angular next. Use solutions like Redux next for managing complex scenarios. Keep learning always but don't get overwhelmed by sheer amount of options available to JS developers nowadays... You don't need to learn most of those if your fundamentals are clear.
ankyth27··on Show HN: Appster – Free Bootstrap 4 App Landing Page Template
You may want to add default margins to some elements. On mobiles the buttons, images etc. are overlapping.

Exciting to see that Google is strengthening Tensorflow. Thanks to TF that popular and elementary AI is now easier to implement for more startups and developers.
