I'm a little confused by your comment. I've been using the Prawn library to generate PDFs on the backend for a side project I am working on for quite sometime https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn
(Admittedly, the PDFs I generate are most certainly not beautiful, so maybe that's the difference)
This is great but why isn't "physical book" an option?
I recommend the author's interview on the Ludology podcast about his work on the book:
I suspect Virginia Hall's obituary was also Overlooked https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/24/books/review/sonia-purnel...
I just realized you're not referring to the game Paris: La Cite de la Lumiere, which is also a wonderful game!

I'm a little confused... I feel like most of these exist in some form already? I've seen chat likes, message indicators, notification reply, homescreen before.
Tagging in a chat app seems like it's trying to make a chat app be something it's not. Unless I'm wildly unfamiliar with how many people use chatting. (totally possible!)
That said, the timeline jump is the idea in here that made me say, "ok that is slick" I feel like I sometimes want to go back and find a photo someone sent me several days ago and I, well, don't even bother because I won't even remember exactly WHEN it was sent.
I switched some of my side projects (simple Rails apps) over to Render on someone's recommendation. Render charges $7 for the lowest tier, which I'm confident is all I'll need probably ever.
While that $7 isn't going to break the bank, these new "Basic" Tiers on Heroku seem way more economical for my silly side projects, if I'm doing my mental math right (and it's quite possible I'm not...)
Thank you for your work with this! One question I have:
You say in your FAQ "We aren't a watchdog—our activism is data collection and accessibility, not analysis or research."
Can you note any instances of other people using your data for analysis or research?
I don't understand how those situations you mentioned should be given high priority given the number of people who are being paid poverty-level wages currently.
I'll grant there is a high count of counter-examples, but the number of potential employees that match those counter-examples feels quite low.
You know everything about the state of the game
Is that fully accurate? Do players know how fast the other teams players run? The frequency with which they can catch the ball? How successful their blocking will be?
Firefox used to have an extension that would do this for any webpage, and I found it was the easiest tool for finding which element was causing a horizontal scrollbar on the page.
You train people how to treat you.
My family plays a lot of board games. Most recently we've been playing:
- Concordia https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/124361/concordia
- Istanbul https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/148949/istanbul
- Lanterns https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/160851/lanterns-harvest-...
- Codenames https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/178900/codenames (this last one is more of a lighthearted party game, but still great fun)
If you like Agricola, I recommend Caverna. Sort of a spiritual sequel to the game, and done better in my opinion, which is saying a lot because Agricola was one of my favorites.
Shopify is pretty nice: https://help.shopify.com/api/reference
I created a (admittedly much worse) Chrome extension to do this, but I also added the ability to concatenate several articles together, and send them as a single file.
The reason being, when I pick up my kindle, it's usually to read for an extended period of time, so I am prepared to go through the length of several articles. Also, my menu won't end up so cluttered with all the articles I sent.
If that's on the product roadmap for this, it would be wonderful.
Wasn't it called The Footage?
It would make sense to keep this list curated, as people who don't have a background in physics and/or astronomy might think a piece of fiction depicts it well, but misses some key aspect.
That said, how does the author accept suggestions or additions?
Thanks for sharing this. I actually had this exact idea last year, but BBC News implemented it better than I probably ever would have.
I definitely started recalling the White Sky scenario when reading this post.
Are launch costs still high?
So, just to be clear, the fact that it's being used by a big company, and/or referred to in the WSJ means it's useless?
Who can hold his breath for ten minutes!
If I may jump in here, I believe lugg was suggesting that email addresses are much more longer-lived than another type of username you might use to log into a service.
I think about that book a lot when any discussions of privacy arise. A great depiction of a post-privacy world.
