I love the fervor with which this is written, but the threat is so weak I literally chuckled.

Imagine your an exec or manager on the team for keyboard development. You read this, get to the end to discover the user is gonna switch devices for... 2 whole calander years?

What's that amount to? Maybe 2 device upgrades on If your a die hard gotta have the newest latest model phone each year. Then what? you'll be back?

The threat doesnt even carry the weight losing a user for a 2 year blip, registers more as a dropped ping request then a drop in revenue.

If meant to be whimsical sure nailed it. To be fair I mean any boycot with a large scale mfg carries about the same weight. just thought it fell flat as much as anything.

I think this is the wrong read on the “threat”. One user going out of their way to spent time writing this post is a canary in the coal mine. Most users never give feedback, they just churn. This is the same reason your toothpaste has a phone number on the back - that one random person who cares deeply calls the number and provides invaluable feedback on the product.

It’s not about the one person, it’s about that person representing tens/hundreds/thousands of customers. This feedback is a gift to a product manager that listens.

Some states in the US have banned cell phones or other devices that can connect to cell networks. In our school district at least can connect is the key. Teachers aren’t going around testing if old iPhones have SIM cards so all iPhones are banned. (To be clear, I don’t except them to do that.)

Seems like a lot of kids would love iPods to listen to music at school like we did when I was in high school.

Awesome project - how does this compare to other API docs tools out there?

nathantotten · 2 years ago

Thanks for checking it out. The focus of Zudoku is on making it super easy to ship beautiful API documentation. There are tons of alternatives, but we didnt feel like anything out there met our bar in terms of design and ease of use.

Zudoku is also the basis of part of our product (zuplo.com) offering so it is extremely extensible. Our managed, hosted version builds on the extensibility of Zudoku to add additional capabilities like API Key management, analytics, etc. Anyone can use these extensibility points to add their own custom capabilities.

Can you say some about how Rate My OpenAPI compares to Spectral?

Spectral is a JSON/YAML linter with custom rulesets, with out of the box support of OpenAPI and AsyncAPI.

I use it Spectral for OpenAPI feature analysis, much as described here: https://github.com/stoplightio/spectral-documentation

nathantotten · 2 years ago

Rate My OpenAPI uses Spectral under the hood for a lot of the checks. This is meant to be a quick (and fun) service to help people improve their API docs. Doing full linting with Spectral is complementary - and more than this tool does.

Salesforce is a generic application platform today, and this is how see it. Openkoda is not a drop-in replacement for Salesforce CRM, it is a useful replacement when you want to build your core business application a) retaining full source code ownership and ability to get any Java/JS team to work on it and run anywhere you want, b) without becoming dependent on technology and commercial limitations of working with big S.

nathantotten · 2 years ago

People don’t build applications on Salesforce because it’s a generic platform, they build on it because they need to integrate with the sales/crm process/data/etc.

Edit: To be clear, I’m not saying your idea isn’t good. There is tons of room for this stuff, but be careful in assuming the reason devs use Salesforce platform is because of the features. It’s usually not.

Source: I ran dev tools at Salesforce.

The last time I went to Woodcraft, the guy there was raving about the CNC and recommended I get one. Hard pass. Woodworking is my escape from computers. I’m sure if you do woodworking for a living a CNC is amazing, but I’ll take the slow path on this.

Its pretty easy to setup a Github Action that mirrors images to a private registry. We use this to mirror to GCP Artifact registry: https://zuplo.com/blog/2023/03/15/mirroring-docker-images-wi...
