This might win big in emerging markets where there is a desire for a high-quality laptop for non-programmers.

GitHub is too cheaply priced to disrupt. IMHO, Figma is expensive and Dev mode is poor.

This is the only example everyone points out against yaml.

For Json, there are several such syntactic problems. Unnecessary double quotes and only double quotes everywhere. No dangling comma.

I wish it had comments. And for that reason, I prefer yaml.

Thanks. This proves my point. Flutter as of today is not a viable target. Once the usage cruises say 25%, it might be worth visiting.

Shiv sutra contains all sounds of classical Sanskrit exactly once.

It does not contain all sounds of verify Sanskrit though. For example, retroflex L is missing.

Counterintuitively, shiv sutra does not contain all sounds of modern Indian languages like Hindi or Marathi either.

Modern Indian languages derive vocabulary and phonemes from both prakrit ("natural") and Sanskrit ("well-done").

This stat is not relevant. A more relevant stat would be to filter out apps with a threshold of downloads.

I would be curious to know how many apps with a 1M+ downloads use these frameworks.

Tried Hugo, Ghost and a few others. Still stuck on WordPress for a lack of good plugin ecosystem.

Exactly.

I have been working on https://guideamigo.com as a side-project and only in the last month, I'm seeing some traction.

Even better would be the scenario when it is stuck forever.

Most languages have no default timeout for sending network requests!

Wait for deluge of these PR generators to increase the commit count on GitHub.

You are right.

Alternative to eSign is to just send PDF documents. And as the person to add their signature to it.
