serialjoyon Launch HN: Livedocs (YC W22) – Live data in your documents, without code

Love this!! Does this actually replace the entire data stack for early teams? except Segment I suppose

serialjoyon Ask HN: Which abandoned proprietary software would you resurrect?

A desktop app for Jira - I want a global hotkey that allows me to add an issue and one that allows me to search an issue - just like 1Password.

Cool, thanks

serialjoyon Ask HN: Console games vs. movies. Do they compete for consumer eyeballs?

So if they compete in the entertainment budget of households, who's winning? Seems to me like Hollywood is losing.

Is that a valid comparison?

serialjoyon Ask HN: Why don't big companies use bootstrap/foundation?

Those CSS frameworks only enable startups to rapidly prototype an MVP without an in-house design team. It allows them to work on what they enjoy and on what makes sense considering their skillets. It would be harder if those frameworks wouldn't exist.

On the other end, when a company grows towards maturity, it makes sense to have a design team for all their products that can experiment and design specific elements that are consistent not only between themselves but also with their branding, mission and strategy.
