userSumo··on Show HN: I made a web game called Almost Pong
Cant belive your project of making a game a week was 8 years ago. it was such a nice project! Over the years lessmilk stuck in my mind as a example of a very cool project that also made some money.
userSumo··on Deno in 2021
I also dont get the point of Deno. when i was looking into it seemed to me that was presented as a modern NPM alternative. Yet, it is completely unusable for any kind of frontend work. Which is wierd, since javascript is a frontend language. You cannot use it to write anything that uses DOM API. Not sure if that is supposed to change. Would be nice if it was clearer that it is a solution for back-end only.

userSumo··on Vital (wavetable synth) goes free (GPLv3)
I think this is a very interesting case study of a solo developer making money in free software.

on the official website https://vital.audio/ there are several premium tiers. These premium tiers are (as far as I understand) still compatible with 'free software' ideas (additional sound presets, skins, etc.).

This synth is already popular around the whole music community. Functionality easily rivals other synth software sold for $200+.

userSumo··on Rome: A Linter for JavaScript and TypeScript
Can I ask how long is it probably going to take for Rome to provide fuctionality to replace the tools it aims to replace, in a stable release? Rough estimate
userSumo··on Thank you, Chris

userSumo··on Paul Graham inspired the creation of Redis
The comment should probably be still around right? Does anyone have the link?
userSumo··on Nokia phones sent identifiable data to Chinese server
i just bought the 7 plus a few weeks ago, anyone has a tip on what could I do now?
userSumo··on Firefox Experiments I Would Have Liked to Try
One thing i was thinking would be also cool is improving the image view (when you open .png url for example).it would be nice if it had proper smooth zoom using mouse wheel, and some preset zoom buttons for fit to screen, 1 to 1 pixel, etc. Maybe it could also open image links in just some simple popup window.

Other than that i would really like updated bookmark and history manager.

userSumo··on ProseMirror – A toolkit for building rich-text editors on the web
maybe it would be possible to use part of another editor like you mention summernote or maybe tinymce, to process the pasted text, and convert it to something (styled html?) a newer editor could understand?
userSumo··on Show HN: My new SaaS side-project, after years of open source
hi, i would just want to ask a few questions if that's ok.

i see you use ck editor, how was integrating it with page builder? because i was making something similar some time ago and it was a pain to find a solution for inline editor. and how do you host users projects ? i mean is it all in one one virtual machine or something?

userSumo··on Bing.com now runs on .NET Core
Well, you can as well call javascript code and use any node package from net core

That what made my decision to use dotnet core for web app

userSumo··on Ask HN: What's your favorite way of getting a web app up quickly in 2018?
i am interested in something like this, if i can ask a few questions,

- is azure beginner friendly, for someone who has never done web app before?

- how does azure pricing and support turn out compared to other services mentioned around here?

- would it be easy as well to use PostgreSQL or some other database?

userSumo··on Electron is flash for the desktop (2016)
but if there was something exciting like red-lang with easy to do custom UI ( if needed ) and with some ecosystem around it, i would definitely look into it

userSumo··on Electron is flash for the desktop (2016)
I am a young programmer, student, front end developer/designer, with some knowledge of languages such as java, php.

I am developing one electron app, and it is going great. And I don't even know javascript that much. But in my case, usage of browser engine is essential, since it has to do with rendering HTML and so on. I have less than 1000 lines of javascript and almost everything was working after 2 weeks.

It is not that big of a project anyway, but from the begging I knew that it should be fairly easy and doable.

In fact, I can imagine that I could do so many kinds of apps with electron, and I can easily see how I would approach it.

Let's say music player. No problem. I believe that electron can easily play media, and it would all look great. Or some productivity tool, or note taking app. Working with files, editing text files, even viewing documents like .pdf would be easy (would just use some plugin). Or even embedding youtube videos in notes would be easy. And all that with easy control of layout and great rendering of fonts and images, plus animations.

With little knowledge of front end stuff, and some general programming principles, you can already see how you could build app on the top of electron, which is a platform everyone here knows without even trying. It makes me feel kind of powerful to be able to do such a nice apps myself.
