I also tried a 55" UHD and found it too big. I scaled down to a 49" on a rolling tv stand and it's perfect for me. I have some distance between myself and the screen though. ~6"

I really wish there was a way for me to travel with this setup :/

I like the concept. It would be cool if you could choose the language you were interested in, and receive daily updates. It would also be cool if the lines were a little more complex rather than just function names or css selectors

Navigating the site on desktop is really hard. There should really be a horizontal scrollbar because I accidentally keep clicking when I'm trying to scroll. Or just don't use horizontal scrolling on desktop, which would be my preference...

Besides the scrolling issue, it looks really good.

You can do this in Duet (http://duetapp.com), but it's self-hosted. Pretty sure Flow also lets you switch back and forth between boards/lists. Have to imagine a bunch of other apps have it too.

  I never said that.
The implication in your original comment is quite clear, "why don't you let experts do what they do and you spend your time doing what you do?". So, you actually did say that...
  But to suggest that everyone should do (or will do it, as some people are commenting here) it is bananas.
The comment you replied to didn't suggest that everyone should self host, it simply stated a preference. Your comment, however, was the exact opposite, and suggested people shouldn't self host "unless they do servers"

He's saying his goal is controlling his data, not necessarily 100% uptime, so even if the site ends up going down, he still retained control of his data, and therefore did not fail on the metric that is actually important to him.

Lots of people home school their kids, grow their own produce, and kill their own cows. One doesn't need to do everything themselves to want to do some things themselves. And if your premise is that one needs to be an expert, before doing anything on their own, then how would people learn? How do people become experts?

I've been thinking about creating a dev focused version of Duet (http://duetapp.com) for a while. Any current Jira users have time to help me figure out what I should add/change to make it a good Jira alternative? I'm a solo developer, so sometimes it's hard to get insight into how teams work on dev projects and some outside input could be very valuable...
