jbrooksuk··on Show HN: Open Logos – Free logos for open source projects
I'm currently trying [1] this but I don't know how to pick up more traction from designers. Perhaps I'm looking for someone who can both design (change an existing new design) and implement it at the same time, which may be too much? I don't know.

Good designers can make a project succeed. We need more in OSS.

jbrooksuk··on Autonomous braking: 'The most significant development since the safety belt'
I recently bought a T-Roc and ACC is pretty awesome. The issue I have is on the motorway, when changing lanes, it has a tendency to lose speed and with it being a 1 litre, it takes a while to build up the speed again.

It also has front sensors which has alerted and braked for me a couple of times when someone has almost stopped dead at 60MPH (even with stopping distance, it was a quick stop).

We're about to re-evaluate our billing system for StyleCI and as we're based in the EU, we'd love to give this a go. My email is james [at] alt-three.com

jbrooksuk··on Using Prettier to format your JavaScript code
Seriously, try out https://StyleCI.io it runs automatically Prettier on any branch you wish (can be disabled).

Plug: I make StyleCI.

This is why I’m keen on automating code standards/quality away. We’ve recently launched JS, CSS and Vue.js support in https://StyleCI.io to help more developers standardise their code.

Danny MacAskill is incredible and when you watch the behind the scenes videos you really get a sense of how patient and supportive Red Bull are of their athletes.

So good!

jbrooksuk··on Mailspring: A fork of Nylas Mail by one of the original authors
I've been waiting for this! Very exciting!

Couple of things I'm seeing:

- I can't install plugins.

> GitHub may seek to become more of a marketplace that can help developers show off their work and take on additional projects, with GitHub taking a portion as a fee, says Sequoia investor Jim Goetz.

They already have a Marketplace offering.

jbrooksuk··on Ask HN: One thing you wish would happen in the next 10 years?
I get that, I too enjoying switching off and doing nothing. It's when you need it for an emergency... that's when you realise how poor the global coverage is.
jbrooksuk··on Ask HN: One thing you wish would happen in the next 10 years?
- Batteries that last longer (in general).

- 100%, 4G coverage wherever I am in the world.

- Consistent and reliable internet speeds around the world.

jbrooksuk··on APIs as infrastructure: future-proofing Stripe with versioning
I’ve been looking for something like this in PHP too. Nothing yet though. Happy to work on something with you though!
jbrooksuk··on Ask HN: What 'product' have you done for your own use?
I made Cachet (https://cachethq.io) as I didn't want to pay for alternatives. In the end, the system I built for this to sit behind didn't get any love.

It's not a full time gig yet.

jbrooksuk··on Cloud Firewalls
Really all we (the company I work for) need now is Block Storage in LON1!

Very Black Mirror-esque.
jbrooksuk··on PHP vs Node js... Let's be honest: Node.js couldn't kill PHP. Why?
PHP has had square brackets for arrays since 5.4.0

    $array = []

Where I work we use PHP 7.0/7.1 with the Laravel framework and Vue.js as the front end. Works well for us!

jbrooksuk··on Sublime Text 3 dev build 3128 released
Ligatures would be amazing and JPS has said previously that he'd love to implement it, but it's a huge amount of work at the moment when there are other pressing issues.

I hold out hope for it happening one day though!
