I agree. Particularly with the first point. One of VSCode's big strengths is it runs on the web as well - it's easy to see it becoming a fully integrated cloud IDE (whether you run it in Electron or your browser), and then MS can sell VSCode Premium for $2/mo to integrate it with your corporate login etc.
Yeah or Google. They stopped Google Code (or whatever it was) to move it all to GitHub; I just assumed they'd then buy GitHub. Felt like a much more natural home for it.
Sure, but Microsoft also has Visual Studio. If they start heavily investing in VSCode for C#, C++, then they're going to be cannibalising Visual Studio. And for what?
First ever HN submission, with first ever Firebase app, first ever Material UI app. Good luck me!
I want to make something that facilitated healthy communication, focusing on Q&A. Sidsi has questions, voting, and anonymous participation (you need to log in if you want to make a Q&A session, but that's it), so a company employee could ask honest questions without fear of being tracked down.
I'd love all feedback - technical, UI, feature, anything. Please be aware that I have access to the database and could in theory see what questions you write. I will not share it, but just to let you know.
Possible next steps I've thought about are:
- General UI polish
- Different voting rules on questions, e.g. force ranking
- Being able to set a room from the start as fully anonymous or not
- Adding in company SSO (while maintaining anonymous question asking)
