This is great news. I learnt JavaScript from MDN first and it was a great resource. Still use it almost everyday as a reference, would love to see it grow.

Re:Ask HN: What is everyone currently working on?
on Tuesday September 19, 2017 @02:31AM (#15282261)
I am working on learnmapp[1].
What? Inspired by Kamran Ahmed's roadmap to becoming a web developer[2], learnmapp lets anyone create and share roadmaps for learning any topic/subject.
Why? Everytime I want to learn something new, the biggest hurdle I face is to find where & how to start and what to learn next. So with this tool, I want to make it easier for beginners to find and follow a roadmap to learn better.
When? Will launch, optimistically, by this weekend.
Also, it'll be free and the code will be available on github.

It's for me, not for you. Opinion not generalised assumption.

I don't know how to thank you for such a perfectly detailed and cited answer. This is going to help me a ton! As of now I don't have any questions as I am just starting out, will hit you up for sure if I have any, thanks a lot again!
Ask HN: Are you using WebRTC in production?
I am considering WebRTC for building a social game app which would allow 10 simultaneous connections in a mesh. I would very much love to operate my own signalling server.Does anyone use WebRTC for production all setup manually than using services like tokbox or twilio? How is the performance? What mistakes would you recommend avoiding? and lastly, what tools do you use?Thanks

Not having a wallet option is a deal breaker.
Cashless payments is very popular amongst youth here and majority of us college students don't have a functional bank account which makes us either carry our parents debit cards or our parents "Paytm" us (yes, it's become a verb here) our monthly pocket money.
Regardless of that, there is still a very poor adoption of cashless modes of payments by street hawkers and kirana stores. And many high revenue businesses I have seen going directly for card POS systems like mswipe etc as wallets have some monthly limits and high fees for transferring to bank account. So the competition for tez is with physical card swipes and seeing the overall internet connection health even in the cities, it's a pain to use apps to pay majority of the times.

I am probably too young and uninformed but would love if somebody could enlighten me more about "Ted Nelson" because after watching his videos and reading about him on wikipedia and from other sources, I find a little difficult to understand the fan following he has in the form of comments on his videos or in this thread.
In the video he claims to be the first one to imagine a lot of things in his era, very novel to information science which unfortunately he hasn't been able to materialize yet and from the tone he claims all of the above makes me a little uncomfortably skeptical. IMO, nobody is ever first to imagine anything, historically great ideas have simultaneously popped up into quite a few heads and claiming that you were the first doesn't show a healthy state of outlook.
Re:Ask HN: Go or Elixir for a hobbyist dev
on Friday September 08, 2017 @10:47PM (#15205316)
I love programming in elixir but I would suggest sticking to go for the sheer no frills faster to prototype code experience you get in python. Go has some great official learning resources and also don't forget to check out Derek Banas' go in one video on YouTube.

Re:China's Central Bank Bans ICOs
on Monday September 04, 2017 @07:52AM (#15167535)
I partly agree with you. Banning ICOs will affect lots of potential disruptive and genuine initiatives. Albeit, it also safeguards the people's hard earned money, which majority of them are going to lose out on.
IMO, education and liable regulations for the benefit of both the parties is a much better option, but to speak in favour of a governing body, is a lot more tedious.

I have a question, does it also index submissions which never make it to the main show page?
