I'm curious if HashiCorp changed their licenses to GPL/AGPL, will everyone be as frustrated?

Hi Peter! For H1B visa holders, is there any way to start a company and remain in charge (whether as CEO or not)? From what I find online you can only be employed as a H1B holder, but if I start a company I would want to have full control of it.

I'm interested in building something with this to aid my own French learning. Would love to read your findings if you end up posting it somewhere like twitter/blog!

I built my own. It's a Chrome extension that

- captures a tree tab structure (inspired by Tree Style Tab)

- has a text-heavy interface

- is keyboard driven (inspired by Vim)

- keeps data local or syncs to a GitHub gist (no server)

- exports to Markdown

I often hear from others they need something similar, and I thought about finishing it up so others can use it. But my fear is that I made too many personal design choices that nobody else would like, and changing those choices would make myself less happy (but surely make it easier for others to use).

If you are intrigued, here are some screenshots:

I have thought about building a vocabulary learning tool for learning Japanese on top of Apple Dictionary. My idea is simple: user collects dicitionary items and the tool offers lookup / spaced-repetition.

However, I'm concerned that the dictionary is copyrighted. Is there any precedent that says whether such a tool would be legal/illegal?

Does anyone have recommendation for static site hosting with simple server-side analytics? The only thing I can find is Netlify Analytics, but $9/mo is too much for hosting a few pages of OSS project documentations.

If there's no complex interactivity achieveable only through JS, I prefer to ship sites with plain HTML/CSS, so I don't really like to use any client-side analytics. And yes – I can live without all the fancy features to track and profile my visitors.

I don't want to host by myself either, since I enjoy using a simple git push to deploy my site.
