   As a writer, I've been using Basecamp for a few years now and I must say, it has been a game-changer for me. Basecamp is a cloud-based project management tool that offers a suite of features to help teams collaborate efficiently and effectively.

   I started using Basecamp as a project management tool to manage my writing projects. Initially, I found it a bit overwhelming, but with time I got used to the interface and the features. Basecamp has a clean and intuitive design that makes it easy to use. The dashboard is well-organized and shows all the active projects and tasks at a glance. Basecamp has a variety of features that make it easy to manage tasks, track progress, communicate with team members, and share files.

• Too many Mac apps are being built with Electron

  That argument would hold more power if there wasn't an existing native client for Slack and Discord, made by one person, with all the features I needed, working with absolutely no lag and minimal resource use, working on MacOS, Linux, Windows. Unfortunately the development stopped, or I'd still use it. https://cancel.fm/ripcord/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Recommendations for an alternative native chat client? (Slack, Discord)

  Https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ Used it before, worked OK. Now I use Matrix, so I don't need it anymore. Neat trick: AppImages are squashfs compressed filesystems, so they can have slow startup etc. Fix this with ./app.AppImage --appimage-extract, find the binary in the created folder and run that one instead, so that you pay the decompression cost only once. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Recommendations for an alternative native chat client? (Slack, Discord)

  Not sure if it still works (or will continue to work) but this might be what you're looking for: https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ I've also had fairly good results using gtkcord4, though it takes it little finagling to get up-and-running: https://github.com/diamondburned/gtkcord4. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• A Slack clone in 5 lines of bash

  There are a bunch of features in slack beyond the core chat stuff, like: 1. Being connected to multiple communities and switching between them instantly this can be of course simply replaced by connecting to different servers in a tabbed terminal and use the terminal's built-in cmd-1/2/... shortcut, which happens to be the same as in slack. 2. Meta data about others, like their timezone or how to pronounce their... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• I’m having some cpu performance issues and I’m wondering whether if it’s time to upgrade? Using a 2017 MacBook Pro 13inch.

  All three of these are web browsers (slack and vscode are built on electron) that are notoriously RAM-hungry. If you don't want to buy new hardware, switching to using the slack web-app or using a third party client like Ripcord will remove one of those browsers, and using an IDE that isn't a web browser would take out another. You may also find that another browser like Firefox uses less memory than Chrome. Source: 12 months ago

• How I Achieved 10x Productivity at Remote Work

  Remote work is an established term these days, but back in the days i.e. Prior to COVID or a few more years back, this term was quite alien in the developer community. Even though there were organizations like Basecamp which were working remotely for more than 20 years, the developer ecosystem was not built around the concept of working remotely or to put it in simple words, separately from your colleagues. Just... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
