Nice work.

hey, love the idea, got a copy running; the install was easy as for me. ( on fedora )

however, im finding it really laggy. I type something and it takes a good 2-3 seconds for it to appear on the interface.

any ideas?

also, if you were a fan of terminal based chat wouldn't you opt for something like https://slack.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201727913-Connec... and then just use Irssi?

parkie··on Show HN: Gym Apps and Websites Made Easy
Cool idea,

If I wanted to sign up and get an app; Do my gym users have to download your app then search for my gym? Or do I get my own App that they search for in the app store?

what ways do you find stripe to be a pain to use?
parkie··on How many of you use a Linux distro as your primary desktop OS?
I use fedora as my primary OS.

I Love it, I maintain a few linux ( CentOS ) servers aswell as write alot of node/php/python/ember code that runs on those servers.

Advantages

a) flexibility and lightweight nature

b) very similar OS to the servers i maintain

c) memory usage ( laptop )

d) i prefer the package managers.

whilst i could perform the majority of my tasks on a mac... i dislike the

a) UI

b) package manager

c) defaults given ( keyboard shortcuts aswell as scrolling ones )

d) lack of flexibility

(note: i havn't really had a good play on a mac so all my listed disadvantageous would most likely be easy to resolve )
