Nope. It's an old post. Added 2020 to the title. I realized late that this is old news already

Apologies. It showed up on my Twitter feed today and I impulse posted it. Apparently it's an old announcement from 2020

What about Discourse? You can configure it so they only interact with it via email.

Still not available on our Discord server. I wish they took a page from Flowdock's threads but this looks more like Slack threads.

Would love to use Zulip for work but right but forwarded emails end up being empty and our current office is still currently email-centric. Teammates and management won't use if it they can't interact with it via email.

Hello fellow Basecamp user Automatic check-ins are the killer feature for me. Nothing like getting the pulse of your team at regular intervals

As for your question, my first thought was Discourse. It's a modern day forum. Posts, threads, the whole shebang. Has badges and leaderboards too.

I've heard good things about Twist as well. Though I haven't used it yet.

#1 is already supported. Gather actually has a poster object for this purpose. You might want to check out the conference demos.

App seems to be using Landsat data. There should be no restrictions on its use.

Selecting the file and using Shift + Z should do the trick. Though it's been a while since I did this.

It's really annoying how you can't easily make copies of directories anymore. They just create "Shortcuts" instead which act like symlinks. People though they were copies though and damn did we have a lot of accidentally deleted files these past few weeks. Also, their file recovery UX sucks.

Yeah. Mapbox is getting there but I don't think they have the same volume of users contributing traffic data as Google does.

Author mentioned OSM but they could also use Mapbox's navigation APIs if they don't want to host things themselves.
