The UI and UX to me (the author of this guide) is something that I can get used to. I leave it for the reader to decide which one they feel comfortable, I don't want to force anyone to use something they don't like. My whole purpose is to introduce what Gitlab has got and presenting them on Github.

I understand why people make fun of this. It is obviously ironic. But I am happy most of the comments replying to yours speak out my intent. I neither "accidentally" put it on Github, nor make use of Github unethically to promote Gitlab.

it's kind of shitty to use someone's platform to push a competitor

I am sorry you felt that way. But to be honest, I don't feel that this is bad. I myself don't tell people to abandon Github and move to Gitlab. I just write a small guide to instruct people and whom I targeted happens to use Github a lot, so I put it there. Just that. And if you look carefully, I am a heavy Github user and I didn't stop or fully migrated from Github to Gitlab. I did not criticize anything about Github in the guide, also.

Don't worry I totally understand your point. Maybe I am a little bit harsh, but I still won't rollback my decision of flagging this. I understand that he doesn't try to fool anyone, but his attention vs what everyone perceives may conflict. I have to admit that on a site like Hackernews, the first time I look at this link at its address, I almost thought that Google is now interested in ICO, had it not been for the 1 minute that I try to look back at the domain and then go to its faq page.

In terms of ethics, it is not good. Even if you don't try to sell anything, making visitors confused with your domain is not by any means recommended. Who will make sure that he won't and never try to sell anything from now on. I am not arguing on the content, though. Whether it is good or not depends on the reader's assessment. You can't forgive one's evil act just because that act looks cool (to you).

Sorry but I flag this due to your confusing domain. goolge? Seriously?. Even more hilarious is your faq page:

"FAQ Q: What’s up with the name?

A: The name is a most likely vain attempt to lure some poor souls from the British Indian Ocean Territory who mistype the name of a well-known search engine into a web of hopefully interesting blog posts."

Long time reader of Head First series here. I have finished : - HF Software Development - HF Design Pattern - HF Java - HF Android Development I have no complaints. Really, thank you for making those books. They helped me a lot. I think you couldn't have every reader to agree that your book is good because each person has their own taste, but to be fair, yours do a good job in delivering quality content in many aspects under a friendly narrative.

Very nice app and promising. However, I would the UI would look more "modern" (don't know if this is possible or not). Right now the button and the scrollbar is a bit outdated. The bonus point for me that this is written in Kotlin, not another Electron RAM killer app.

Summary :

The data indicates that functional languages are better than procedural languages; it suggests that disallowing implicit type conversion is better than allowing it; that static typing is better than dynamic; and that managed memory usage is better than unmanaged. Further, that the defect proneness of languages in general is not associated with software domains. Additionally, languages are more related to individual bug categories than bugs overall.

Very good writing indeed. However, the metaphor here gives me the feeling of "enough internet today"... Btw, the anchor link to #project-structure don't work. Hope you (if you are the author) fix that soon.

Funny it is based on Electron and it doesnt support Linux. Maybe they think Linux developers only live in terminal, or they just hate it when someone criticises Electron consuming too much memory

I would advocate people getting more familiar with their package manager.

Personally, I think these kinds of lists and the package manager don't compete with each other. On one side, you list the software packages. The other side is where you get them/ where you package or publish some if you are a developer. For example, if you are from another OS and just came to linux and you wonder: how can I edit videos on Linux. I don't think searching from the package manager is more valuable than this list. It gives people more choices, a wider look, a quick skim like you go shopping.

Plus there are nice graphical package management tools like the Ubuntu Software Center.

I swear half of the softwares I found on this list (with my usage, not all of them) is not in the Ubuntu Software Center.
