Personally I hope that crew is joining the "anything but proprietary" group. Sorry, I'm sure you were fishing for a more pro-MS response.

There's a few unofficial HN web clients, here's some of the top results I found while searching "hackernews web client":

If you're on Android and prefer Native apps, I highly recommend [Materialistic]( https://github.com/hidroh/materialistic). It's available on both F-Droid and Google Play Store.

I wish SaaS companies (not just Cloud Middleman) would learn that developers will not adopt their products if they don't have source access.

This product could have easily been FOSS with it's pricing model based exclusively on support/hosting.

Would have given it a spin if it was FOSS. I wish SaaS companies (not just Forestry) would learn that developers will not adopt their products if they don't have source access. This product could have easily been FOSS and had it's pricing model based exclusively on support/hosting

Pretty fantastical post, seeing as Github had a severe outage on 1.27.2017. I'd also guesstimate Github has at least 2 to 3 major outages per year (a mix of DDoS and human errors)

Setting up a DigitalOcean droplet or AWS instance would have only added a few dollars and extra minutes to your transfer today. The benefit would be to reduce dependencies on external service that are vital to your core product.

Always remember, when you don't host your code you don't have full control of your code. To me having 100% ownership of your source should be the foundation to any software-driven organization

The file dialogs and random bugs really deter the experience on WINE. I'd say the best way to go is to get Windows Enterprise/Server edition installed in a qemu virtio box, set up Remote Apps and use rdp. The server you can run headless I believe, the Enterprise will still being running a gui instance though.

http://www.abstractstudio.co/ looked real promising but the project died and they never shared source (atleast the last I checked)

I wouldn't be suprised if sometime in the past Apple and Adobe didn't collude to ensure Apple was the only Unix platform that could be considered a creative-workstation. Adobe and Apple have a long partnered history - don't let the Flash fiasco divert you from their storied history. Purely speculative tinfoil theory though.

However, I wouldn't be suprised if some Adobe dev's had internal Linux ports that they don't share with the public. With the majority of the core app being written in C/C++ and them porting some UI elements to HTML, I can't imagine that much of a barrier to offer a Linux equivalent.

The "market share" argument shouldn't be an accepted reason for them to ignore the platform - although I could see how a tunnel-visioned management team could use it in their narrative. I know too many devs who would gladly ditch their MBP, or instead install a Linux distro on it, if Adobe's product line was available for Linux.

Luckily, there's tools for devs today if you just need to inspect/export design like http://avocode.com.

In Unix one could always write a function (not alias because it requires a parameter) that does this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/16106/how-can-i-create-an-ali.... I'm sure there's equivalents in Command Prompt/PowerShell as well.

Better for the shells' builtins to be simple and extendable - rather than be optionated.

agreed - but GTK2 is what makes the experience extra horrible when using on desktops like GNOME.

I ended up making an electron gtk3 build script for the few apps I prefer to use that choose to go the electron route: https://github.com/nikolowry/electron-gtk3

Really don't need phantom.js for this. Could have setup an SSL tunneled proxy (https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v6.x/docs/api/http.html - scroll to event 'connect' for a working code sample) and used npm's `request` package for the cookie jar.

Try out RSBrowser if you're on Android

Log time Arch user and I never knew this. I'm waiting for my new x1 carbon to come in the mail and was excited to give Arch w OpenRC a shot. But after reading this thread I might need to finally give Gentoo a go.

I'm severely disappointed that their "developer" edition XPS 13 can only be configured with a touchscreen
