Fully agreed! A dedicated bike lane that separates riders from car traffic could make riding experience very enjoyable.
I was born in China during the 80s, when biking was the most common way of transportation. The term "Kingdom of Bicycles" [1] was used as a tag line for China in that era. Most roads had bike lanes which could be just as wide as car lanes. Between the lanes are physical separators: 3-4 ft high, made of metal, reliable and heavy-duty [2].
Now I live in the US, and still enjoy biking cause there're nice bike trails near my place. However, most city roads seem not safe for biking. Biking becomes a recreational activity, and no longer a transportation method for me. I appreciate the nicely maintained bike trails, but I hope the city build more physical bike lane separators, not only painted lines on the ground, that can actually stop some reckless drivers entering bike lanes.
We're Constructor customer, and use it to manage our open source projects. It's fast and simple, and does all we want.
In addition to all that, the founding team, esp. Seth, is a hidden feature! Every time I feel our team needs some extra functions, I book a time and talk to Seth. He asks very deep questions about our work flow and pain points. Some of the questions even helped me to reflect on our way of doing things, so we could use the opportunity to evolve.
Has anyone tried to develop anything with MSFT's Fluid Framework [1], which is used to build Loop? I have not got a chance to check details. But it seems quite nice. Any general remarks are welcome.
Particularly, I'm interested in understanding customizability of Fluid components, integration with React, and any concerns about Azure service lock-in.
