Users must opt in though. It’s part of the iOS set up to allow this and you can change it any time

Your last point is a new argument for me and is really understated. The HTML/CSS fragmentation appears to be a historical artifact more than an architectural ideal

I believe twitter already does this through shared block lists
Re:Show HN: ScriptUI – Write React Without JSX on Sunday July 28, 2019 @09:22AM (#20547400)
Hi HN!

I'm the author of ScriptUI. I whipped it up over the last few weekends as a proof of concept. I'm looking for feedback on whether you'd use something like this. I hope it helps make starting projects easier.

Thanks for reading!

There’s utility for different deployments per branch and rollbacks when you’re connected to a headless CMS (Contentful, Wordpress API) and managing more complex statically-generated web sites.

idk if GH pages has added this, but Netlify lets you determine your build command and environment for deployments. You can also have different deployments per branch with easy rollback functionality. In short, its built for this exact problem where GH pages is a tacked on feature for repos.

Show HN: Open-Source Ask HN App

from the show-hn dept.

Hello Hacker News!A couple weeks ago I had an idea for a simple client to browse Ask HN posts. I took it as an opportunity to practice Swift iOS development. Today I'm releasing it as an open source project: https://github.com/anater/AskHN/blob/master/README.mdIf that's remotely interesting to you, take a look and poke around with the app. If you're also learning Swift, I'll be developing in...

This is a cool idea and would be worthwhile but I’m sure there are significant (non software related) logistical issues that won’t be solved by FOSS. Handling driver-rider disputes and general safety concerns, for instance. Part of what makes Uber viable is they own a certain degree of liability in the customer experience, even if it comes at the expense of drivers.

It can be hard to give feedback. In my post[1] I share some principles for doing it well. What principles do you follow when giving feedback?[1] https://www.andrewnater.com/posts/giving-feedback/

Re:Ask HN: Is there any money in website design for small businesses a... on Saturday January 19, 2019 @08:12AM (#18946871)
with all the website builders that are available, is there any money in doing web design for small businesses?

If you’re willing to be the person configuring a website with one of these builders, yes. As other commenters have mentioned, these builders only get clients so far (pretty far in fact) but eventually they’ll need something else. Being a web “guy” or “expert” to them is what you want.

Clients want a convenient solution to this problem. That’s why website builders are so successful. Once they’re busy enough, they don’t want to think about this at all and that’s what they’ll pay for. Be that person.

Nope, you read it correctly. And this is kind of the point: To see how the published (7-minute) claim sizes up to reality.

The source does state that one circuit is suitable in the event the individual is asserting 100% energy consistently.

I'll be sure to share my findings at the end of the month.
