Consulting would be perfect except when the lights go out you don't own anything.

Realising that different font sizes need to be in proportion to each other (e.g 3:4 or golden ratio) made the cake for me when I briefly studied typography a while back. This article touches it as well.
But how can you disrupt without parallax?
... And thanks. I thought I was the only one who thought the video fad was dumb. Now it's just a toll booth for getting a product presented, and I never watch them. How about others? Do you find videos actually useful or are they just glitz?
My vote goes for the short 1-minute video with understandable presentation of how the product works and solves my problem rather than reading paragraphs of text.

The occasional screen freeze with Macbook Pro late 2013 model here. Too bad its not covered by this program. Oh well, have to restart it manually here and there.

The recent funding news seemed really strange when I have been feeling like the author for a while. I think SO is going downhill fast and people running it don't even realize it. Joel, where are you? So sad, used to like SO when it came around and now the way it's being moderated makes you want to just leave.
Sneakers - one of the best computer movies when I was a kid. I used to watch it over and over again. Good times. Must go find it somewhere. That movie probably had an impact on actually getting into the business later on.

This thing rocks! I always thought about building something similar - didn't know it's called linear programming though.
I need inspiration at specific time and for that a periodic email is not going to cater me well. Would you consider delivering this in some other format - for example online gallery that is available when I need it?
psp commented on Paperwork: An open source Evernote alternative paperwork.rocks/?hn... · Posted by u/DieBuche
Nice beginning!
I agree with everyone that the UX needs some clean-up (default notebook created automatically, large Add Note button, etc.), however, there is one functionality that Evernote removed a long time ago, and I'm still searching for an alternative, and this new app also doesn't support it.
The feature to create unlimited child notes. It used to be that you could have a tree structure with a parent note, then a few child notes, then a child of those child notes, etc., but last I checked, there's only one layer of depth. Only one child note can be created for each notebook and you can't set that child to be the parent of another note. I love all the other features, such as tagging, clipping, etc., but this was a killer feature that I haven't found anywhere else.
Do any of you know an alternative app that has this feature in a note-taking application?
I'm desperately wanting this also. I found that you can have unlimited nested _tags_ but the UI just doesn't support tags as first class citizen and doesn't have convenient way to move notes between tags while showing hierarchy (for notebooks I'm doing Ctrl-Cmd-M all the time).

Except you don't have to browse to page four of a giant thread to find out a posted solution doesn't work, and you can update an old answer when the information becomes outdated, etc.
Stale is stale wherever you put it - page four or on top. Technology moves so fast that that responses from 2009 to HTML/JS question should be just ignored no matter how green the accepted checkmark.
