IRCCloud does much of this.

I've used this, for neovim, and it's very good! https://conjure.fun/

Works with Clojure, Racket, Fennel and Janet.

Right up until you hit the 10,000 song limit, which took me all of a couple months to reach. It's not a service built for music enthusiasts.
Re:Dwarf Fortress 0.42.01 released on Wednesday December 02, 2015 @11:55AM (#10664086)
The gameplay hasn't really "changed" much at all since its first release, it just keeps getting deeper and deeper (something something z-axis joke), so I don't really understand this complaint. It's the best interactive lore generator ever conceived and this release only adds to that.

I think Cave Story might be an inspiration for some of these.
Re:The worst thing about CoffeeScript on Saturday January 25, 2014 @02:10PM (#7121887)
"- I can write `foo.bar baz, bat` but if I call it with no arguments I have to use parens. `for.bar` will just return the function. I understand why it's the case, but it sucks."

Interestingly, if you write "do foo.bar" you don't need to use parens and it will work as expected. I think this is a bit more idiomatic.

The last bit gave me a chuckle:

> As for the beetles themselves, they were “very easy to work with,” he added. “You can do anything you want to them, and they just keep on rolling.”

Re:Ghost 0.3 (Kerouac) Launches on Friday September 20, 2013 @12:14PM (#6418635)
From the link: "In a couple of weeks, once we've ironed some bugs, smoothed some edges, and given those people a chance to try Ghost out... we'll be opening up Ghost to the public. The Github repository will go public, and everyone will be able to sign up for an account on Ghost.org."

Re:Show HN: Nuuton UI demo. Give me your feedback. on Monday May 13, 2013 @05:08PM (#5701419)
Not especially keen on the color scheme, I guess. I don't have much of an opinion on the rest of the layout, unfortunately. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

IP address seems incredibly unreliable in this regard. What exactly is to be gained by associating it with an IP? If a company uses one external IP, are all my searches altered/bubbled by what everybody else in the company is querying?

Also requires a Facebook account, so I guess it sucks to be me.
