unindented··on Ask HN: Who do you follow via RSS feed?
Here’s the feeds I follow: https://www.unindented.org/follows/

(It’s my OPML file translated to HTML via Hugo.)

As to why, they generally post original and insightful stuff on topics I care about, like web dev, security, Ruby, Rust, etc.

unindented··on Microsoft's reusable component framework for Yammer.com
Hey, I work on Yammer, and I'm one of the contributors to this project. YamUI is a cross-team effort between our Design and Frontend teams to create drop-in components for Yammer.com that have strictly-enforced style and behavior. As @gregod said, it is based on Office's awesome Fabric project: https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-ui-fabric-react/

The project is just us working in the open. We're not trying to push this as a new component framework for others to use, and we probably don't have the bandwidth to support external consumers, but we're happy if people can learn from it.

Yup, that's because those hovercards render on `componentDidMount`, and the styleguide renders all components on page load. It's a bit janky, but it only affects the styleguide, so it's low priority.

Disclaimer: I work on Yammer, and I've contributed to this project.

Yup, I published it as an npm module: https://www.npmjs.com/package/neuquant-js
unindented··on Show HN: Get colour palettes from pictures
A few years ago I created a Chrome extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/palette-creator/oo...) to do exactly this. You right-click on an image, select Palette Creator, and you get a palette with the number of colors you requested. I recently ported it to Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/palette-creat...) and Opera (https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/palette-creat...) too.

It clusters the colors using Kohonen neural networks (which always makes me giggle, because "Kohonen" sounds like a Spanish swear word). The source for it all is here: https://github.com/unindented/palette-creator

Unrelated: Every week I receive an offer to "monetize" my extension from the shadiest companies all over the world. I'm guessing they'd add all kinds of tracking to it, make it inject ads and fake results into the pages the user is viewing, etc. So yeah, be careful who you trust when it comes to browser extensions!

These are totally useless for people relying on assistive technologies, right? Tried VoiceOver and got absolutely nothing.

unindented··on Software error releases up to 3,200 inmates early
It looks like blaming the software and its developers is becoming an easy way of evading responsibilities for those in charge.

Volkswagen did a similar thing a couple of months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10710354

I've used it to prototype APIs during development, like this one: http://fort.herokuapp.com/api

The code for that one lives here: https://github.com/unindented/fortune-example

unindented··on Show HN: Woofmark: a modular, progressive Markdown and HTML editor
I found it interesting that the project's only dependencies are also written by the author: https://github.com/bevacqua/woofmark/blob/1ffb31db3008c3c018...

Is it a case of NIH, or is it justified?
