Not exactly what you're asking but: have you tried some Boilerplate SaaS thing?

I’ll leave a thought that isn’t a Tesla criticism (because the others are good): everybody should carry a lifehammer in their car. If not for saving your own life, it might come in handy for saving somebody else’s.

Don’t buy the cheap Chinese knockoffs.

I don't buy safety/medical products from Amazon. There was a time (maybe even today still) where those products go into a big bin with no verification of who the actual supplier was (1st vs 3rd party). I don't know how to verify if the issue has been resolved today, but life-critical items such as tourniquets, meds, etc. are expected to be 100% made by the supplier. Unfortunately, the money in the industry is so big that "cheap Chinese knockoffs" are being sold as high-quality replicas, even though they may not meet all the required specs.

There were many cases a few years ago of people buying branded tourniquets, only to be sold fake ones. The item looked genuine, but the integrity of the plastic could not maintain the pressures needed and broke. An emergency is not the time to realize that mistake.

I'm working https://annotate.dev, a tool inspired by the Stripe documentation, to let anyone create step by step code walkthroughs. Here's a sample of a walkthrough you can create: https://annotate.dev/p/hello-world/learn-oauth-2-0-by-buildi...

Would love to hear any feedback thoughts!

This is awesome!! I can see a major use case for enterprise or government but along with that would come the desire for on-prem. Any chances of that happening?

> You can legally hack and wiretap your own phone, and build tools to do that. It's also legal to sell those tools.

Just because you have a right to do something to your own device doesn't mean you have a right to sell it. It is not a huge stretch of the imagination to see 0-days being classified as munitions and encumbered by ITAR. I've seen open source drone guidance software taken down for similar reservations, and that was far from a weaponized instance.

There are still plenty of laws that are not in compliance with the digital age of the 21st century. Some laws only apply explicitly to hardware or physical or physically connected devices and you cannot extrapolate to get the law to apply from software standpoint. In some cases even “wireless” hardware such as a cell phone is legally different from a landline. One case is interfering with emergency calls being a Felony California if it’s a landline but a Misdemeanor if it’s a cell phone. That may be the basis for the drone thing but I’m just guessing.

Side point - has anyone got a better way to refer to a non-technical person than "non-technical"? I see they use that term in the intro and I use it to but seems a bit condescending.
ch1234 · 2 years ago
…. And that’s the entire world is in this state. Stop trying to create victims out of people for no reason.

Non-technical = not technical = does not have technical expertise.

Seems pretty logical to me

Check out Form.io

We’re doing some development now which incorporates additional features such as AWS automations and GUI upgrades, but our based schema development is on the form.io platform

As a very visible and recent example, prisoners were used to manufacture hand sanitizer in New York during the height of the pandemic.

blacksmith_tb · 3 years ago
But why have terms in the first place, if they're that up in the air? The nicest thing I could say for a recall effort is that voters who were too apathetic to vote for another candidate now feel motivated to engage in the process, but as it's an extra vote it incurs costs which the normal cadence of elections doesn't.
ch1234 · 3 years ago
I would agree if it was trivial to bring these things about, but it takes a lot of public backing to even get to this point.

It’s just like if we were to hold a state ratification convention. Things would have to be really wrong for us to successfully make changes to our constitution & get everyone on board.
