I'm opening my Pivotal Tracker project from 2011... and I'm surprised at how good the UX is/was!!! Visually it looks old, but the UX I think is great:

Simplicity is reinforced with a great information density: lots, but not overwhelming. Current design trends make information density super low, forcing you to scroll a lot and spending much more energy/time just to be able to look at things.

When you need to "open" an item, you remain in the same screen (no modal, no context change): metadata, description, conversation. Nothing more!

In Linear I'm totally lost with projects, cycles, views, projects...

I'm stuck with Github Issues/Projects, but I miss Pivotal simplicity!!

I've just exported a 10MB Pivotal CSV...

When providing infraestructure for clients, we ended up writing the Ansible, and then docs describing what we had done. We created this tool to generate documentation automatically from magic comments we include in Ansible. This way, we automate things and be sure everything is up to date, saving lots of time of writing.

Any major differences related to SQLPro Studio? https://www.sqlprostudio.com (apart from access to some systems, and price, but since I consume it via Setapp...).

And so: Plans to make it available on Setapp?

How much have you spend on Mixpanel??? ;)

How did you get to insights/assumptions like "If people don’t do [action] during their first 7 minutes in their first session, they will not come back"?

The Social|Promotions|Notifications|Forums tabs (and its automatic classification) is something I can't seem to live without. There is a way to replicate that (automatically in Mailspring). I think this is my main and only blocker to think on a permanent move! Congratulations on the work.

At least they are Irish...

A great explanation of a fairly complex issue. Amazing tha EU authorities are imposing such a burden for small companies when what they are supposed to do is fight tax evasion by multinational gigantic entities.

Yes, in the same way other hundreds of factors will determine the outcome of a startup

Propose your favourite datasets!

What you will be going through?

And you could not have been aware of all those things before moving to Medium?

Hacker News audience, developers or/and internet workers population in general are very sensitive to commercial newsletters. There are lots of comments that read "commercial newsletters = spam".

But reality is that for many online businesses email is the primary sales channel or a very important one. Lots of commercial newsletters are sent, but they main reason for this is because they work. Plain and simple. Lots of "normal" people (not too tech savy that will never hear about Hacker News in their whole lives) use commercial email as on their primary ways of ecommerce browsing. Just as setting up a beatiful and atractive front shop one hundred years ago made a difference in your bottom line, email is an element of crucial importance. Furthermore, lots of ecommerce companies have invested tons of money in developing this channel. Hey, maybe your salary is paid by one of this ecommerce giants! So three things:

1) Commercial email works. Many people don't bother receiving lots of commercial email. In fact, they love it. Google knows this, so:

2) one of the main reasons for Google making this change is to create an effective channel to deliver their own ad impressions in the format that people loves and use. But,

3) in doing so they may be invading a space in which lots of companies have invested a lot (and those same companies surely have already invested in other Google products).

Its a similar pattern with SERPs: you invested in SEO but now the first page is only made up of Google products or paid positions.

no one reporting on or writing about this has all the facts yet

yep, that is implicit in the lack of an official and conclusive report. But I have spent 10 minutes reading the article waiting for something interesting, and he just says nothing apart from wait for the official info, dont speculate. which is the default mindset of many. but yes, there might be a whole lot of other people who needs to read this carefully ;)

the article hardly says anything... (more than dont believe what media provides, which again is nothing new)
