News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

We constantly work on our tooling but agentic coding really increased the amount of code being produced so there's even more pressure on CI. Valuation didn't have anything to do with it nor have we significantly increased the size of our engineering team yet

If only... Coordinated botnet attack against our service that started some hours ago but fortunately we have been able to mitigate it through number of means and return service to users

(Cofounder here) The app is fullstack typescript react application with custom realtime sync engine for instant updates and offline readiness. Our cofounder did a talk about our sync few years back: https://youtu.be/WxK11RsLqp4?t=2171

The app works both in the browser and we also distribute it with Electron wrapper for macOS and Windows, but it's essentially the same experience.

We implement undo through Cmd+z

Linear founder here. As you pointed out issue tracking and project management tools can get easily out of control if concepts get overcomplicated etc. I can't really say of the other tools but we tried to build Linear to be simple and really fast, and adopt to your needs as your grow (e.g. enable more advanced features as you need them).

Linear is free to use for a modest issue count so it's pretty low key to try it out for a project with your team if you want to compare it. And if you end up switching, we have open source import scripts available: https://github.com/linearapp/linear-import If you end up trying us out and need help organizing your team, feel free to contact me [email protected]

We have quite a bit of SVG animations behind that image so might throw a curveball on Safari

This shouldn't be the case. Would you mind sharing screenshots of the link you're pressing, preferably with video to hello@ our domain? We'll investigate. In the meantime, you can signup/login here: https://linear.app/login

On browser detection, we need to look at Edge. I don't think we updated the list in a while (we support all evergreen browsers).

Not yet but we had few people hacking on our GraphQL API already so hopefully we'll get there soon. Integrating into your existing workflow is one of the design cornerstones for us, we don't want to waste anyone's time.

Thanks, we'll be updating our ToS soon and addressing this feedback. We take user privacy and security extremely seriously (many of us worked at Coinbase) and would never expose anything without your consent. I think this clause was for potentially opting into public sharing but it's not something we do.
Re:Linear – A fast issue tracker on Tuesday June 30, 2020 @03:09PM (#23693623)
We wanted to make the product free for smaller teams to get started without worrying about who to invite. We only count active issue to the limit, and once you're done with them, you can archive them. And yes, we do have support for all users and priority support (faster response times) for paying users. We want to build a long lasting sustainable business and charging for the product is big part of it.
Re:Linear – A fast issue tracker on Tuesday June 30, 2020 @02:55PM (#23693476)
Yes, we're a small team and as we're building Linear for both the web and desktop, it was the obvious choice at least at this stage. It's essentially the same app and experience on both but desktop provides better notifications and faster "in and out" of the app experience - it's important for us that Linear is there when you need it and doesn't get on the way.
As a fan of Wirecutter, this looks really useful.

Small nit: dashes over underscores on URLs and looks like you don't have metatags properly set (Facebook, Twitter etc)

Highly recommend Prosemirror. At least in my limited testing, it's much faster than Slate but you need a React wrapper for it
Re:Airbnb to Acquire HotelTonight on Thursday March 07, 2019 @06:03PM (#19333523)
Based on my limited experience, prices seem pretty inline with Google's hotel search but booking experience is much nicer. Last summer I was traveling in Europe and would end up booking a hotel in few seconds and showing up 15min later for my stay. The experience is so much better compared to Booking.com et al which require credit card input, bad websites, enless upsell and dark patterns.

I hope they keep HT as clean as it has been as the regular Airbnb experience is starting to feel like Booking.com; hidden fees and endless fake sense of urgency among other growth tactics.

Re:Slack Says It's Filed to Go Public on Monday February 04, 2019 @02:30PM (#19079796)
Spotify's CPO gave a good digest of the reasons recently: https://youtu.be/jTM7ZCKEUGM?t=2340

In short:

* Need to go public if the company is too big

* More fair for employees stock holders

I forked Tiptap for React and Typescript with a bunch of additions. Haven't open sourced it just yet but if you're curious giving it a try, hit me up (email in profile)
While I like many things about Slate, I would advice against it if performance is at all important, and if you want a stable API. I'm working on an app which started with Slate but its rendering speed (at least on older versions) is quite bad, and my Prosemirror rewrite beats Slate night and day: I been able to archive 10th of the rendering speed. Prosemirror is quite easy to make compatible with React through nodeViews and the API is better IMO.
Product market fit is a pretty undefined term and people interpret it differently; you see companies dying after several rounds of funding for not being able to build a successful business. Usually companies raise the first round of funding (seed) with a prototype or an idea.
