Cool tool! Just a suggestion - building something like this for Zendesk (or any help center) would be an absolute game-changer!

Ask HN: Recommendations for combined CRM/support software?

Hi everyone,Maybe this is more of a dream than a reality, but I am looking for software that can act as both a CRM (categorizing leads, people, keeping track of follow-ups) and support software. So at one glance, I could see every communication that my team has had with a person, since the beginning.Right now, we are tracking this with email and Zendesk, and it's becoming cumbersome. Is...

I love Vue as well. The problem is that I haven’t found a good way to fit Vue in with an existing Rails app without it resorting to JavaScript hell. Stimulus looks interesting because it already fits in with Turbolinks.

looks fantastic!

i had actually built something similar a few years ago, but ended up abandoning it as I never quite had the time nor passion to see it through.

Re:Show HN: "Google for Fitness Plans" on Thursday January 12, 2017 @01:38PM (#13384864)
Hey HN, I built HiCoach to make finding fitness plans easier. You can sort by days per week, type of fitness, and your level of experience. I'm working on adding more plans to the service, so if you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them.

The site is extremely simple: it uses a php script on the backend and Vue on the frontend. I actually typically develop in Rails, but thought it was going to be overkill for this sort of project. I'm certainly not the world's greatest PHP developer, so it actually was quite fun learning the quirks of PHP (once again).

Why is that? I realize I should probably provide my sources at the bottom, but everything was derived from personal experience and research.

If you have something specific to point out, I'd be happy to provide you a source for it.

I guess the key that I'm trying to get at here is find a diet approach that works for you.

Low-carb diets "trick" you (again, I'm going to use that phrase) into eating less calories. When you eat less calories, you will lose weight. So, sure, it's great that it worked for you, but there's easier ways for most people to lose weight.

What other inaccuracies were you talking about?

Re:Show HN: No Bullsh*t Guide to Fitness (for Men) on Wednesday December 07, 2016 @12:38AM (#13120699)
Can you explain why you gave up? Low-carb diets cut out sugar, flour, etc which greatly reduce caloric intake. It's not a far stretch to call them a "trick" to reduce your calories, is it?

Take a look at https://examine.com/nutrition/will-carbs-make-me-fat/ if you need more proof that carbohydrates are not what make people fat.

What other claims did I get wrong?

I don't disagree with you that I should put in some sources. Thanks for the input!

Re:Show HN: No Bullsh*t Guide to Fitness (for Men) on Tuesday December 06, 2016 @06:55PM (#13119335)
I should probably be more clear. In overall health, fats, carbs, and protein do matter. However, I find it's hard to convince beginners to make drastic changes to their diet.

So thats why I recommend tracking only calories at first. Get used to tracking food and hit your weight goal. Then, when already used to being mindful of your diet, you can adapt it to be more overall healthy.

Wow, thanks for the awesome feedback!

You have a good point about snacking. I put it underneath "Tactics for eating" because I was trying to say it's a tactic that has worked for me. Obviously, yes, everyone is different, and I'll try and rephrase that to make my point clear.

Hydration. Good point as well. I should touch on this.

On strength vs muscle growth. My goal with Hart's Guide was to show a workout plan that didn't require a bunch of time in the gym, and lifting for strength is better for that goal, as it's more time-efficient. I was trying to simplify, but yeah, I can agree that I should add a little more information on alternatives.

FAQ Information. Great idea, I'll definitely add a section for that.

Hey HN!

I'd love to hear what you think, especially about my writing style, as I realize I'm not the world's best writer.

I tried to keep the design simple, and somewhat crude. I wanted something that looked different than the majority of fitness websites/blogs today. But let me know if I achieved that or if it could use some work.

Hey HN, I'm trying to make making databases and building web applications as simple as possible. Let me know what you think!
I saw this on Dribbble a little while ago. Sleek site and great idea!

Really like the new design, but I think the coolest new thing is HandOff. The new Spotlight search is cool, too.

Re:Show HN: A small (less than 2 kb) CSS framework on Thursday December 26, 2013 @12:14PM (#6966907)
Thanks for all the very good points. I really need to do some more testing on other browsers, and then I'll be able to give a minimum requirement. So that will definitely be part be of the next release. Also, I'm going to work on changing the columns to a 12-column grid.
Re:Show HN: A small (less than 2 kb) CSS framework on Thursday December 26, 2013 @12:11PM (#6966898)
Honestly, it was a choice I made late in the night. I think I'm going to rework it now to be 12 columns.
Re:Show HN: A small (less than 2 kb) CSS framework on Thursday December 26, 2013 @12:10PM (#6966889)
That is a really good point. I'll try and implement this today.
Re:Show HN: A small (less than 2 kb) CSS framework on Thursday December 26, 2013 @12:42AM (#6965374)
OK, I just committed a change to the tables. Should work now
Re:Show HN: A small (less than 2 kb) CSS framework on Wednesday December 25, 2013 @11:13PM (#6965233)
Oops, thanks for pointing that out. Will definitely fix that as soon as possible. Thanks for the kind words!

Is the We Work Remotely site loading incredibly slow for anyone else? The Chrome Dev Panel says a 1.4 min page load?
