forgotmypw38··on Show HN: NearBeach an open sourced project management system
Thank you for sharing your project.

I had an issue with using the demo: Because of the "springy" layout where all the fields expand to the frame size, everything just looked like a grid which blended together. It was hard to isolate individual fields and to see where one field ended and another began. I think the low-contrast borders contributed to the issue.

Why do people always try to separate certain qualities or behaviors as being "human only"?

>My reasoning is that it is ubiquitous (on Unix platforms at least), fast and likely to be preinstalled. I use my accounting program a lot, and I often tinker with various flavours of Unix. With a P5 implementation I can start from a clean Linux distro, bootstrap my user account from a git repo, and my program is ready to go straight out of the gate.

I've definitely noticed a difference.

I have been developing my current project using IntelliJ, which makes it easy to jump from function call to function definition.

Once I had to do some maintenance on a live copy using vim, where I don't know how to use those features, I decided to gradually redesign things to have fewer levels of nesting for easier maintenance.

I fake it by doing a screen capture of myself working and then playing it back.

This is a great point. When I'm listening on laptop speakers, every little bit of extra loudness helps.

It does seem unfair, and it's also a common practice. Apple does it too.

Sadly, I only see the first image, and the rest are behind links. Each link requires me to press "Yes", before being redirected, sometimes to the intended link, others to the link I tried to view an hour ago.

I feel obligated to comment, so that others are not led astray by parent comment, which is INCORRECT:

<noscript> works just fine in pre-JS browsers, at least all of the ones I've tried.

It works exactly as designed: Text between <noscript> and </noscript> is displayed in browsers without JS enabled (or supported).

I am not aware of any browsers where this is not the case, and I've tested in many, including Mosaic 1.x-3.x, NN 1.x-4.x, Opera up to 3.62, and others.

(You probably happened to visit my site during an upgrade. Sorry about that.)
