Mainstay:

0.) Search Bookmarks (Enables searching your bookmarks from Omnibox; type b-m-space in your omni and then term(s)/keyword(s) for the bookmark(s) you are searching for... they will appear in the suggestion drop-down... or, press return to search bookmarks using Chrome Bookmark Search, which will match the term(s) you've entered): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/search-bookmarks/m...

Thanks for the recommendation charliepark, squarespace looks good... but doesn't appear to support YouTube-embedded carousels nor membership accounts/privileges.

Ask HN: How to build a web app for a non-tech savvy client who wants to modify?

Posted by JacobIrwin on Wednesday August 12, 2015 @12:10AM
from the ask-hn dept.

My client needs a site that can integrate eCommerce (Shopify), membership accounts/privileges, and a YouTube-embed carousel/slider. The client desires the ability to add/delete/modify sections after my development work on the project is completed (without any programming). Client needs, example: “I want to be able to add one, two, or three columns containing pictures, videos, text, on...

I submit that "anxiety" here could be better defined as: the mental taxation of evaluating the opportunity cost for turning down each of the available alternatives, given a person's position on Maslow's hierarchy of needs

Web-based, Mac app, or open Git project?I'd love to hear your suggestions for the best free programmer-friendly time tracking software available - to be used by myself, as the developer, on a solo full-stack web app build.Something I can implement quickly and easily.

Re:About Python 3 on Monday December 30, 2013 @10:59PM (#6988866)
I think you are speaking to a large audience with this post. All python devs are continuously aware of the ongoing avoidance of using newer version. It's a problem that should be addressed even more directly with us all... what are the key transitional obstacles to overcome when upgrading from, say, 2.7 to 3.x? etc.

Thanks for shining some light on the issue.
