starikovs··on A couple CSS tricks for HTML Dialog elements
That's cool, actually I didn't know about this one :)
starikovs··on A couple CSS tricks for HTML Dialog elements
Thanks for the article!

I remember I had a hard time trying to stretch dialog to full screen for mobile devices, but it actually didn't want to work. The code was something like this:

dialog { position: absolute; top: 10px; right: 10px; bottom: 10px; left: 10px; }

starikovs··on Show HN: LS Note – Plain text notes in local storage
If local storage is cleared, the notes will be deleted as well. I mainly use this tool for temporary notes, for notes I only need for the day, for example. It's also handy for quickly copy-pasting something, editing it in plain text, and copying it again. Previously, I used my main Notes app or my messenger for these tasks.
starikovs··on Show HN: LS Note – Plain text notes in local storage
I created this tool first of all for myself, 2 main reasons why I need it:

1. I often create temporary notes in my main Notes app, which quickly becomes cluttered with temp stuff

2. I sometimes struggle with editing plain text without any formatting, especially on mobile devices

I hope others find it useful as well!

starikovs··on Show HN: Aha Icon – Create Text-Based Icons with Precise Control
It works pretty cool. Recently I was looking for something simple and similar to create a logo for a small pet project but couldn't find anything.

Welcome!
starikovs··on Icebreakers.site – Conversation Starters
I like it! Good and minimalist implementation :) Also, you can improve it by adding "how to finish a conversation" feature ;)
starikovs··on Ask HN: Can You Ping Secure.2checkout.com?
Thanks. Yep, it's not down. It's just weird that from some locations this resource is not accessible..
starikovs··on Show HN: Take Quick Notes
Yes, only in the local storage. No data are sent to the internet and no analytics are used.
starikovs··on 20,000 Startup Ideas
Cool. But it should be in React Native and AI to raise some money.
starikovs··on 20,000 Startup Ideas
A startup idea: an app to generate a startup idea (based on this list).
starikovs··on Show HN: Million Dollar Jobs, a platform for jobs with $1M+ annual compensation
I like the idea and will subscribe!
starikovs··on Ask HN: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Running a billon dollar company.
starikovs··on Windows 95 Made in React/Redux
Native windows 95 worked better ;)
starikovs··on Ask HN: What software do you use daily?
I think top 3 is:

- Mac OS

- Google Chrome

- iTerm

starikovs··on Ask HN: Would you join a private tech community with 30-50 members?
Why not? If small startups have great idea, funding, good team, etc. I think tech-people will join such startup.
starikovs··on Creating Effective Job Adverts
Honestly, I feel pain when I read most of job adverts/postings. They have a lot of text, they're too verbose, etc.. Why can't recruiters just specify things what developers interested in? These things can be found in different surveys like the Stackoverflow's one.
starikovs··on Ask HN: What is your best advice for a junior software developer?
1) If you're not a native English speaker, always improve your English. 2) Start your open source side project and work on it in your spare time. 3) Improve your skills by reading books and attending online courses. 4) Change your job/project every year.
starikovs··on Show HN: Sheet2Site – Create Websites Out of Google Sheets
One cool thing about sheet2site is that the sheet2site's idea is presented clearer than the cloudstitch's one. I mean when I opened sheet2site website I understood what it does in a moment. But in case of cloudstitch I have to force my brain to work to understand what this means: "Cloudstitch lets you manage websites & run your business, all from your office suite."
starikovs··on Ask HN: In your company, how important is code quality vs. getting things done
It's just my opinion, but as I always see during the years of work if you only focus on "getting things done" you have an illusion that you ship faster.. This way you will have more bugs, regressions, technical debt etc. and fixing them will take much more time than doing things the right way.
starikovs··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2017)
Hey, it seems like you have the broken links here..
starikovs··on Ask HN: What is the most important information for you in job posting?
Salary range

Location or remote

Tech stack and essential requirements

Project description

starikovs··on Neovim v0.2.1 released
I stopped using Neovim a few months ago because of sporadic freezes. I often freezed when I was using :Glog and so on. Now I think I will give it a chance again )
starikovs··on Ask HN: Is Evernote Down?
I was just writing a note in the web version, then it showed a message that cannot sync and then I was logouted. I'm wondering if the note is saved..
starikovs··on A curated directory of resources and tools to help you build your startup
Very useful directory I added it to my bookmarks a year or two ago. BTW, it would be great to have some rating for the tools.
starikovs··on Show HN: I've been building this thing
"Coming soon" button does nothing..
starikovs··on Ask HN: Where do you host your API endpoint?
+1 for DigitalOcean and docker containers.
starikovs··on Ask HN: What are some examples of successful single-person businesses?
As for me, I develop https://thestartupway.website/ only by myself but I really cannot tell you if it's a successful business. I have a job of a software engineer and when my friends ask me to make a landing page for them I just use my tool and take a small money from them. It's just for fun for me and it's great that it helps somebody with their needs. So, for me, it's a little success )
starikovs··on Ask HN: Is Telegram better than WhatsApp?
As for me, I use Telegram and I am happy with it! It's the best messaging app I've ever used. But it's only my opinion, you should try it and decide for yourself.
starikovs··on Replacing Disqus with GitHub Comments
BTW, if I open a page from disqus.com (1) with theirs comments I don't see those strange requests but if I open a page from someone's website (2) they are there!
