Thank you for this comment. I myself just got into vibe coding a few projects and anecdotally I've never been more excited about the future barring the economic implications of a world more reliant on AI. It feels as if the parent comment should take your recommendation to heart and start creating!!!

Ask HN: Collaborative Diagramming

jamesdftx — Sun, 04 Mar 2018 05:58:23 +0000

Does anyone know of a collaborative diagramming framework/software.

I can't seem to find anything out there.

Essentially I envision a visio/mind map style web page that allows for a modular wiki-style article entry. You could have each node/child have associated web pages, images, documents, text snippets or sub layers of diagrams.

Does anyone know of something like this that exists? I think it'd be great for collaboration!

I'm surprised I don't see Guayusa mentioned on HN at all.

Hello,

I've done a search on google and hn.algolia.com but I'm unable to find an article I saw on here form a year back. It was talking about the team of developers at facebook that popularized the scroll feed. Does anyone have any links for write up's on the evolution of the scroll feed?

Just saw your other carbs comment, I agree. I've seen first hand the great improvements with Keto, but it's a very difficult diet to get into with the subsidies carb-heavy foods receive.

The only reason I can see you being down voted is because you're not providing a constructive argument in HN standards against carbs. But you do make an excellent point. I'd like to add that in addition to the dental antropologist listed in the article [0], Weston A. Price [1] is also very well known for the role of agriculture (more carbs) in human dental change.

Hey Matt,

Thanks for your thoughtful post I really appreciate this.

I'd say I'm quite proficient up to step 5 when it comes to object oriented programming like Java / C#. I'm actually trying to get advice on developing an android application, or well, any type of tutor for when I 'just get stuck' in a certain situation.

I've looked at some of the JS stacks and it's all very interesting and I can see a lot of creative potential.

Hello veritas, It might have replicated to the HN data set on Google Big Query [1]. Perhaps that might help?

jamesdftx — Thu, 29 Jun 2017 16:33:35 +0000

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck as a beginner utilizing tutors online to help with writing code. A quick google search has yielded codementor.io but I wanted to know if anyone here had any suggestions. Obviously I could attempt this through trial and error but it'd really help if I could get some proper direction.
