It's kind of hard to imagine how DoorDash execs are going to explain to those investors who find this on HN / elsewhere and ask them what the eff is going on ?
I cannot believe that you make more from such a niche dev tool than your job at Google. I always thought people who use clojure/scheme would be using their custom setup in emacs or vim.

I have been using Bitwarden for some time now. It’s an open source password manager. There are apps for all major platforms and extensions to all major browsers. Checkout https://bitwarden.com/
I don't understand why Gadfly is the top repo. I always found it to be very slow and having too many dependencies. Last I remember it installs more than 20 packages as dependencies. Its also not a supported backend in Plots.jl
I use google scholar alerts for people whose research I want to follow. You will get a jive email when ever people you follow publish something with links.
For preexisting OSS, I think it is difficult to get a successful Kickstarter campaign because they cannot really sell something for pledges. Have there been any successful Kickstarter FOSS projects ?
I think Bountysource is better here but for mega issues like UI redesign or GTK3 port etc a campaign may be the right way to go.
Adobe's new subscription model for Photoshop, makes it expensive for non-professionals. GIMP looks more attractive now for occasional photo editing.
For Inkscape and GIMP to be a good alternative for Adobe's apps, I think they need to improve on UI a lot. I wonder if there is any umbrella organization which can look after FOSS Design apps like GIMP, Inkscape, Krita etc.
I have switched to Okular, you can install it directly from the Microsoft store directly.
