   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

   🏁 Competitors: Medium

   👍 Pros:    Free

   👎 Cons:    Social justice|Basic features|Quality of content

It could maybe overload RAM and get killed. Try using the offending website on a browser/OS that _doesn't_ have WebRTC such as https://caniuse.com/?search=webrtc. Or try with WebRTC disabled. Possible you're getting throttled by your router or ISP when... - Source: Hacker News / 17 days ago

  Ah yep! I just didn't wait long enough. Very cool. Seems like it took a lot of work. And it seems better than other browser-based video editors I've seen in the past, so kudos.

  Can I X, is a question about the readiness/compliance of a certain thing at time = now. Can I use CSS version X was the iconic early meme. https://caniuse.com/?search=css3 For a generalized example, if you wanted to know if the basketball courts were ready for you to “ball it up” in a certain city, it’d be caniball.com If you want to know if you can use a certain frontend technology, the idea is like: canwefigma?... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
