BitBar (https://github.com/matryer/bitbar)

Allows you to create custom MacOS menubar items from the text output of any script.

Of course - email in bio :)
I'm under the impression, in Udacity's case especially, that part of the problem stems from asking native engineers to use a language and ecosystem that they're not used to working with, and then trying to get them to integrate RN code into an established, brownfield native codebase.

As a sole dev in a 3-person startup, I’ve managed to build a pretty large app with React Native, having zero prior native experience (although, that’s not to say that I haven’t had to learn a _lot_ about Xcode!)

Check out the landing page at https://vue-native.io/ at the bottom, "Compiles to React Native". It's important to note that "Vue Native" isn't officially endorsed by Vue.js.

Isn't this just the same as startups who hire engineers and "compensate" with equity and don't pay salaries?

Had quite some trouble pushing this afternoon. Hope it gets resolved soon.

Training budget for confs/courses/books is a big one for me, it shows that a company is invested in you and helping you further your career.

Another one is relaxed working hours and having a culture of trust with regards to when you're actually in the office. It shouldn't be a big deal if I need to leave early one day, or if I decide to do reduced hours but work flat out during the time I'm in the office, as long as the work gets done - who cares when?

Really great project! Good work. Love seeing Nuxt in the wild too.

Reminds me of Numi[0], a really beautiful text calculator I've been using on MacOS for a few years now.

I really disagree that it's a "waste of developer time" to use React for projects like this.

`npm install next react react-dom` takes an insignificant amount of time and gives you an extremely efficient developer experience immediately, with automatic code splitting, server side rendering and great modern CSS support. Compared to the amount of time I've spent over the years fiddling with gulp/grunt configuration files for "static websites", it's a no brainer for developers who are already productive in React.

React Native. Write the React we all know and love, be supported by a huge ecosystem and community, and leverage the power of OS level UI components and libraries whilst enjoying the ease of writing in JS. It’s making the production of a truly native-feel app completely painless and with little learning curve for an existing React/JS developer

Cool initiative, would be great to see an "eject" command similar to what CRA provides so that the user can expose all of the configs if they wish.

Ask HN: Resources to learn math as a foundation for CS

I’ve been a self taught web developer for about 4 years, and although my programming knowledge has been increasing at an exponential rate recently, I feel like I want to step up to the next level, by which I mean trying to teach myself the foundations of CS. I know in order to do this, my maths needs to be much stronger than it is now. Assume that my maths knowledge is currently at the same...

Absolutely, keep up the good work!

Are you still planning on releasing an open source version of LogRocket, much like Sentry offers one?
Amazon Polly?
Re:The State of JavaScript 2017 on Wednesday December 13, 2017 @09:17AM (#15914301)
I've been using Vue.js on large scale projects for a while, but for a greenfield project I'm choosing React instead. React has better support for SSR which is still really important for public facing websites, JSX feels much more natural to me than the v-* directives, not to mention React's incredibly large ecosystem. That being said, I really like the way Vue handles CSS in single file components, and the simplicity of Vuex compared to Redux. I'm still struggling to find a styling solution for React that I'm completely happy with. As with everything, it's about choosing the right tool for the job.

The presentation may promote unbiased content, but it would be naïve to suggest that Twitter had no idea who RT would support.
I think this says it all (from the employer's website)...

Ask HN: Do I need to set up a limited company in the UK?

Hi HN,A friend and I are soon launching a small subscription-based web application, charging a small monthly fee. We don't expect it to make huge amounts of money, so is it actually worth going to the hassle of setting up a company along with a business bank account for a project that might ultimately fail? Any advice would be appreciated, as neither of us have much knowledge of setting up...

I would encourage people to use MDN as a reference (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/) instead of w3schools, far more in depth and useful.
Re:Ask HN: What is your CSS setup in 2017? on Wednesday August 02, 2017 @08:56AM (#14910121)
PostCSS + sometimes a lightweight helper library such as http://basscss.com/ which provides some really nice defaults.

Would it still be unethical if the source was shown when displaying the scraped recipes?
