I have been working for sometime with Visual Studio Code and with this Go extension. I used to use Sublime 3 for Go development, but with this extension I have noticed that I use more often vscode than sublime for Go development.
It is also a big plus that vscode works very well with TypeScript and you can work seamlessly with TypeScript front and Go backend code.
One nice thing is that you can navigate e.g. function calls easily, which places call a function or directly find correct function in question like foo.New() by pressing F12 or shift+F12. When using Sublime to navigate to foo.New() would probably reveal quite many functions that are in your workspace path.
Go extension also imports automatically packages that you use in your code. Renaming types or functions also works nicely if your code compiles.
There are certainly things to be improved like not being able to conveniently use directories outside your vscode project e.g. common packages across different projects. But over all developer experience is really nice.
Thanks for sharing! This is a great way to document and see documentation for main targets in Makefile.
We use Makefile in same way to execute project related tasks like deployments and run development environments. This will even further help to show main targets from a Makefile easily and pretty standard way. Will be taken into use.
You can achieve similar by writing bash scripts, but it will be mostly custom and others need to learn how to use it and extend it. Makefile gives you a standard way of writing small utilities related to all your project, and almost everybody knows how Makefile works and if not, they can learn from existing documentation.
Hello everyone! We just launched Sketchboard for Slack, a digital whiteboard for visual remote teamwork. We'd love to hear what you think about the tool.
We wanted to create a way for people to explain concepts visually to their teammates on Slack using structural sketching.
We're also on Product Hunt today, if you want to join the conversation there.

Personally I use quite a lot sketch like UML and find it very helpful for clarifying complex environments or ideas that are not clear yet. Most of the time sketches are just boxes, circles and lines, but those communicates and clarifies the problem for others very well. I don't use lot of time when sketching, system can be described graphically very quickly, just to get the idea out or it usually goes too detailed. We have also built a tool that helps sketching systems with remote teammates (https://sketchboard.me).
Seems that StatusPage.io is not either using anything worth to mention for "whiteboard simulator". So here is my shameless plug of the project that I work with.
Our solution for "whiteboard simulator" part is http://sketchboard.io that lets team sketch structural diagrams together in real-time.
It is not the same thing as working on a same room locally and use whiteboard since locally you can communicate a lot with your body language as well. But good remote team tools can give you something back.
Integration allows you to start real-time team sketch diagramming from HipChat. Upload sketch snapshot back to HipChat room to continue discussion on HipChat. Add HipChat users to your Sketchboard.io team.
Example /sketch commands:
"/sketch Awesome Idea" - creates a board with a name
"/sketch add @UserName" - adds HipChat user to Sketchboard.io team
Sketch Gallery shows public boards from https://sketchboard.me where you can sketch using a sketch style, rather than corporate documentation style to emphasise your idea, not how it looks.
I didn't know about Protoshare, but it looks like it is for wireframing and Sketchboard is (at this moment) from software internal design perspective. Though you can use free hand drawing to sketch user interface ideas.
Here is a direct link to sketch https://sketchboard.me.
Realtime collaboration can be checked out by sharing the generated url.
http://sketchboard.io is the landing page. Tool is mostly targeted for
software developers, to support lightweight software design.
Any feedback is highly appreciated!
You could checkout Sketchboard to sketch UML, https://sketchboard.me. Though that requires constant connectivity due to realtime collaboration. I am author of the tool.
