really? its as easy as putting it on github and publishing it in npm.

sabarasaba··on Linux touchpad like a Macbook: goal worth pursuing?
I used to care a lot about this kind of things about two years ago when I switched from mac to linux. But to be honest, you just kind of get used to it after a while and its not really that much of a deal breaker anymore. I spend most of my time in terminals, and I use i3wm so most of my workflow doesnt involve using the touchpad at all. The only use case i have for it is when using chrome, but even so theres vimium and similar things to help you navigate around without leaving your keyboard.

https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki and notes are synced to my own private nextcloud server.

sabarasaba··on Ask HN: What paid email provider service
Protonmail if you care about your privacy.
sabarasaba··on Best Alternative to DigitalOcean?

sabarasaba··on Ask HN: Best companies to work for in Europe?

sabarasaba··on Show HN: Generate high-res images of code samples with Chrome Headless
You can also do :TOhtml, then open the html file with your browser and print to pdf. A bit simpler imo.
sabarasaba··on Show HN: Vim editor for Standard Notes
Looks cool. But I dont know if its vimium or what, but once I got into insert mode theres no way out of it (esc and C+[ dont work).
sabarasaba··on Ask HN: Self-taught developers, what repo helped land your first job?
Maybe a year give or take, and I ended up building it to scratch my own itch of wanting to find a nice movie to watch over the weekend.
sabarasaba··on Ask HN: Self-taught developers, what repo helped land your first job?
Back in 2012-2013 I was learning about javascript and nodejs was the new kid in town. I started learning about express and mongodb and within a few weeks I manage to create a scraper for torrentz.eu to index a bunch of movie torrents and fetch their metadata from imdb/omdb and trailers from youtube. I built a pretty UI and publish the website in the chrome store as an app. It quickly began to grow and was averaging around 600-700 visits a day and even made it as a featured app in the store.

One local blog from my city in argentina picked it up and wrote an article about it and got a call from a big local company that they wanted to talk to me. Thats how I landed my first job as a javascript developer.

A year later my app got removed from the store because "it did not comply with their policies or terms of service".
