shame I had not heard of this till today.

Aperture was the best. I miss it.

For now: Give Jujutsu (https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/) a try, it's good whilst maintaining a level of compatibility with git which is good for gradual adoption and uptake.

Avoid: Pijul. I doubt it will succeed in getting wide adoption. Some of the reasons already covered by others comments in this thread so don't want to repeat.

Wish: I really wish darcs was rebooted and made a comeback. What can we do to make it happen? I heard a version 3 is a work in progress. I am also aware of this new initiative (GitHub equivalent but for darcs): https://smeder.ee

What topics are you interested in?

For Postgres take a look at this:

I was wondering same .... found this:

https://docs.fxtwitter.com/en/latest/index.html#

My understanding is the volunteers do make some money helping via services like this:

https://www.directly.com

(looks like they got acquired and had some big companies using them so google using something similar I imagine: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/css-corp-acquires-s...)

Based on the fact that your ideal is to have a similar experience to heroku than managing your own server setting up reverse proxies take a look at these options:

1) https://dokku.com - lets you turn your light sail instance basically into heroku

2) https://render.com

3) https://fly.io

4) If you have aws credits this is their heroku equivalent: https://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk

above is not what I do but would be the options I would pursue if I understand your preference and requirement correctly.

I think the alternatives to consider would be:

- https://www.purescript.org/

- https://reasonml.github.io/en/

Or like others have suggested typescript and the usual libs and frameworks

Hi All, So I created a simple scala news site for the community:

https://www.scalanews.net/index.html

I want all of us to blog more and have our blogs discovered so I added a blog directory page with links to bloggers rss feed lets bring back the googlereader days :

https://www.scalanews.net/Resources/Blog_Directory.html

I need everyones help though! For this to be a useful resource I need everyone to add their blog to the directory and if you come across any interesting news to add it to the next edition! PRs are welcome:

https://github.com/softinio/scalanews

Thanks!

here are some for you to consider:

https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo

https://github.com/plausible/analytics

https://github.com/arp242/goatcounter

All 3 of them open source and you can host yourself. If you don't want to self host all 3 have options for you.

I am currently self hosting Matomo and am happy with it.

Fun timing for you to ask as just running a poll to see what others are using:

Great to see this happen! Should have been done a long time ago.

I am starting my kids off with Python personally.

I don't know if best, but I know it well and with the repl and existence of notebooks like Jupiter (https://realpython.com/jupyter-notebook-introduction/) it gives me the tools to get started and teach quickly.

Interested to see what resources others share as I not using any right now just my own knowledge of python. I did have kids learn scratch using a book as a prequel.

I did come across this book but still have not decided if I will use it:

Thanks for heads up on blog had missed that. Great!

I am curious to know more about what lead to D lang being chosen for this project?

pretty aweful, this: https://thenewstack.io/this-week-in-programming-the-elastics...

I am really impressed with swift. I think its good to have both in your toolbelt if you have the time for it.

I am excited to take a look at this especially as it doesn't seem to be an electron app which I try to avoid.
