Cheating on web3/emission/grinding games will go wild...
noeltock··on Show HN: Struct – A Feed-Centric Chat Platform
Interesting how we've almost come full circle back to message boards, maybe time for phpbb/vbulletin to reappear? Next-gen will call it "Slow Chat" :)
noeltock··on WordPlate: WordPress on Composer with sensible defaults
Why do you give non-devs the ability to upgrade PHP plugins and edit theme syntax, shouldn't that be the site admin handling? Why are you not using staging to test? These don't seem like WP problems :/
noeltock··on WordPlate: WordPress on Composer with sensible defaults
I think you answered your own question, the familiarity for users (seo & content) which is "end-to-end no-code" is massive (especially once extended with user-facing plugins). And you're not even speaking about making the move to Gutenberg yet. Just too much value there.
noeltock··on WordPlate: WordPress on Composer with sensible defaults
Congrats on releasing, we built something similar (WP/composer) for our stack, you can see the details here: https://docs.altis-dxp.com/getting-started/

noeltock··on Game Theory and Winning at ponziFarm
Important note: this is running on test-net, there's no real money at play here.
noeltock··on Show HN: Bionic Reading – Formats text to make it faster to read
Great product that might get lost because of overthinking the business model (say that even as a fellow Swiss). Think the giga-opportunity here is for a chrome extension, releasing it for free or freemium won't interfere with your patent (and if you don't, someone else will, regardless of the legal aspects). Either way, congratulations on this innovation, it's elegant.
noeltock··on The Framework Laptop is now shipping
I thought this was for MacOS given the similar wallpapers on a bunch of the mockups.
noeltock··on I made 24 high-quality Covid illustrations. Free for commercial and personal use
Think it's designed to be a viral self-promotion piece, hence the attribution part in CC.
noeltock··on Why build another website builder?
I don't understand the need for additional SMB website builders (as the use-case described says "company") — problems I see:

- Squarespace/Shopify may seem like "website builders", but the bigger play is to manage parts of online business (transactions, reservations, point of sale, etc.), and ultimately everything. "Website builder" is just an entry point.

- Online presences need to manage multiple web properties (i.e. a restaurant = yelp, tripadvisor, facebook, etc.). And lets be real, a restaurant can just redirect their domain to whatever the hottest social platform is (chances are it's going to load faster).

- Websites aren't the only channel anymore.

Website builders are commoditised imho, and have no value as a pure tool.

noeltock··on Show HN: Cover Faces from Protest Photos
Well done! Feels like it's missing the larger opportunity to protect other protests globally (by using a more generic/pixelated cover).
noeltock··on P2 powers internal collaboration at WordPress.com, and is now free
We're 70+, we created our own version of P2 (H2, react front-end) and have at about 50 instances (split by theme/project).

At this point though, I think Notion may present a better solution going forward.

noeltock··on A React implementation of Spectrum, Adobe’s design system
Devon, thanks for sharing and congratulations on the release! Nice to see Adobe push more open-source work, is that something we can expect more of (vs the proprietary software)?
noeltock··on BigCommerce S1
It's probably still one of the most relevant channels for buyers, so yeah, many people care.
noeltock··on BigCommerce S1
For SME/Enterprise, WooCommerce is not even listed on the Gartner quadrant [1] — so whilst the software might be fully capable and open-source, it's not represented at this level whereas BigCommerce and Shopify are.

noeltock··on Lawsuit: Hertz vs. Accenture, $32m+ [pdf]
After Accenture put on an impressive, one-day presentation for the Hertz team that included a demonstration of the transformed Hertz digital experience, Hertz selected Accenture to design, build, test, and deploy Hertz’s new website and mobile applications (or “apps”).

39. Accenture’s code for the AEM component (the content management system that allows Hertz to create, edit, and change the content on its websites) was seriously flawed as well. The coding and file structure were not based upon the Adobe AEM archetype, which made the application unreliable and difficult to maintain, as well as making future updates challenging and inefficient.

40. Accenture’s Java code did not follow the Java standard, displayed poor logic, and was poorly written and difficult to maintain.

noeltock··on WordPress 5.0: A Gutenberg FAQ
> For those of us who create Wordpress sites for clients, this is a mess

We use Gutenberg extensively with clients (and have for some time), so I don't think that blanket statement is fair. There's been a learning curve but the business value speaks for itself at the end of the day.

Agree with @photomatt's comments.

Gutenberg (the new editor being released with WordPress 5.0 this month) supports pasting in markdown directly — no 3rd party solution required.
