I’m working on SimpleeFood, a simple self hosted recipe app.

I found most of the offerings out there to be too bloated. Recipes are a simple thing - you want to store them, search them, and view them easily.

It has a full screen viewing mode for easy cooking with your tablet or phone.

Yes I would say it is used correctly here, with the definition you mentioned. And your english is good for not being an english speaker!

This feels like adding syntactic sugar in some sense. That is, a layer of convenience to accomplish something that can already be accomplished today.

It also breaks the following:

* It's better to be explicit than infer * Keep specifications simple

DDG works great for ~90% of my queries. I do fall back on Google every now and then, but DDG honestly delivers results that are just fine.

A lot of webdev content (tutorials, blog posts, documentation, etc...) relies on being able to display multiple files and code snippets at once.

I've always felt these files take up too much space on the page, and that there's a more compact and intuitive way to display them.

I created `VanillaTreeViewer` as a minimalist file browser for compactly displaying several files at once. It's modeled after the look and feel of an IDE, so it provides a clean way for viewers to see multiple files and their directory structure at once.

A few months ago I saw an article from RefactoringUI posted to HN about building your own color palette. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25180180

The concept seemed so simple that I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before as a developer.

It motivated me to create a color picker based on that methodology that lets you build an entire color palette.

It's written in ReactJS + Jest, and the source can be found here: https://github.com/abhchand/niram-color-picker/

This practice exists in traditional eastern Yoga - breathing out of one nostril and in with the other. A similar explanation is given about it having a calming and energetic effect.

I know that doesn't provide the evidence you were looking for, but hopefully it provides some context on where this might have originated from.

Is there a framework out there that faces as much consistent scrutiny as Rails?

It seems odd that for a decade the web dev community has singled out this framework. It's always relevant to suggest updates and things to be fix - any framework has those. But the continuing conversation of "is Ruby on Rails good enough" (which seems to be the underlying driver for conversation) is still present after hundreds of companies have built solid products with it.

I don't think it's as scrutinized as it used to be, though it may feel that way if it's your framework of choice (it is mine).

I feel that SPAs get a lot of scrutiny, but it's spread out among the specific libraries/frameworks. There's also a lot of vocal advocates (as Rails used to have) that makes it feel more balanced.

Over the course of my career, it seems that the "easy" languages (Visual Basic, ColdFusion, Ruby, etc) always get a lot of criticism. I feel like Rails is in a great, mature spot right now, and some exciting things are happening to make it the best positioned for the coming push-back against "Javascript all the things".

More like hundreds of thousands.

I like this idea.

In response to it just creating more echo chambers:

- it can't be worse than now - At minimum, it's an echo chamber of your own creation instead of being manipulated by FB. There's value in that, ethically. - Giving people choice at scale means it will at least improve the situation for some people.

Isn't facebook (and reddit, and twitter) showing you posts by people companies etc. that you decided to follow? (And some ads)?

I am pretty sure things can be worse than right now, pretending like we are in some kind of hell state at the bottom of some well where it can't possibly be worse, seems unrealistic to me.

I've seen Twitter pull tweets from an account merely because someone I follow follows them. Facebook is the same.

I think Reddit sticks strictly to your subscriptions, unless you go to /r/all.
