I'm on a federal dev team that is mandated to use Teams, unfortunately, but this looks great.

I think a big barrier to getting anyone to transition from Slack or anything else to Noor would be trust & security. I'd lean more into what you're doing to that end, up front and center. I could only find a blurb at the bottom of the FAQ, after the mention that the avg age of your team is 23.

Good luck! Congrats on launch.

This is useful thx.

Feature suggestion: add the ability to toggle `white-space: nowrap` on the post titles. I turned it off in devtools & it still looks pretty good. Could maybe use a px or 2 of vertical margin between titles to better delineate, but not necessary. Or, alternatively, add tooltips.

Nice work.

I like it. Assuming you're tagging them manually as they come in. The tagging is super useful for discovering other devs w/similar interests. https://devlids.com/all/tag:ruby I think it should be highlighted (or at least have some indication that there is tagging somewhere on the landing page). Maybe just list the top tags across the top or something, with a tag-specific page listing all of 'em. Nice work

You’re being dogmatic. Assuming that something works for everyone because it works for you, and if they say it doesn’t, it’s because they “don’t understand,” is wholly closed-minded.

This is the typical response to pair push-back. And I have no interest in convincing anyone why it is not for me. I will interview.

I’d agree except for the I-will-interrupt-the-next-dude (chick) when I’m finished my story to pair part. Make it known that you’re available to pair if needed, but pairing as SOP would have me interviewing.

Can you elaborate? We're a Ruby via VSCode team. I fear I'm blissfully ignorant of the possibilities.

I think they specify 'White' based on this passage:

"While blacks and Hispanics without college degrees are also falling behind economically and socially, middle-age mortality has worsened for whites in particular over the past 20 years—a fact some attribute partly to social context.

“For whites, their reference group is previous generations of whites,” said Shannon Monnat, a Pennsylvania State University professor who studies the opioid epidemic in rural America. “When they look back on their parents and grandparents, it feels like their generation is doing worse.”"

I'm a ddg fan. You guys should have a big, conspicuous WHY? button on the homepage that links to all this. The 'Learn More' link takes me to what you guys don't do, which is good, but it's light on the why.
