My strategy was to wait a day or two and see if my buddy got sick before I tried it. But, yeah, after seeing the other comment here, boiling probably would have been a good idea!

I took a trip up to Oregon for the eclipse over the summer. One of my campmates filled their water containers from the Shasta spring on the way up. Untreated. Unfiltered. Straight from the mouth of the spring.
Despite my better judgment, I tried some and it was by far and away the best tasting water I've ever experienced in my life. I stopped at the same spring on the way home, filled up a 5-gallon water jug, and cherished every last drop.
I was aware of the risks and I think it's an alarming trend as well, but gosh darn that water tasted amazing.

I feel you. It's a struggle.
Sherry Walling is a very well-educated and practiced psychologist and she does a great episode about burnout on the ZenFounder podcast. She discusses it both from the hands-on side and the clinical side. It helped me a lot.

The TL;DL from my takeaways are to find time to focus on the challenging and exciting tasks from one's to-do list. Complete that work (I.e., hit publish. Don't let perfectionist tendencies prevent you from finishing). Then reward yourself for doing so.
Also, find social outlets continually and don't allow work to overshadow things like friendships and family.
Those were the ones that hit close to home for me.

Yes! I never watched Survivor, but my mom and brother are both die-hards. They've talked about this before. During the first season, no one was _playing to win_ except for Richard. Then, in all of the later season, the players were much savvier and the strategy was much more deliberate.
The contrast between the later seasons and the first season sounds fascinating.

This reminds me of a great thought piece that I studied a lot during my gaming years: Playing to Win.

Particularly relevant to the Jeopardy contestant that buzzed in when he didn't know the answers to block others from getting the cash.

I'm not too familiar Google Wave. I was thinking about it a bit more before I went to bed last night, and the internet has always had chat and message-board style communication. They've always been complementary.
Slack _could_ try to tackle this, but I feel like it would need to be a different format than the chat room and it would be moving away from their strength.

In all seriousness, I don't know the onion article you're referencing and I am wildly curious now...?

I agree! Although, I am curious about some of the privacy concerns that are being raised.
To further your point, I think Facebook's timeline dynamic complements Slack quite nicely. Slack is great for broad, real-time communication, whereas Facebook posts can be much more hyper-focused and the conversation can revolve around the specific topic over a long period of time.
For example, we have a development channel in our Slack. I can go back and browse through the chat log, but it's awkward to contribute a suggestion or thought to a conversation that happened yesterday. Everyone has moved on. Not the case on FB.

You've heard of us!? No kidding!? That's awesome to hear. :)
We use a lot of ajax when the actual page builder is in use, but we do our best to ensure that page load times for published pages are low as possible.
Outputting lean and efficient auto-generated markup (relative to what was out there) was one of our big goals from the start.
We have a free version of the software in the WordPress repo: https://wordpress.org/plugins/beaver-builder-lite-version/
You can demo the tool, peek at the markup, and see how it well it plays with your WP theme/install with the free version.

Wow this is gorgeous! Nice work.
I have a product in a similar space, Beaver Builder (https://www.wpbeaverbuilder.com). A few differences being that it's an in-browser tool and it's a WordPress plugin.
Who is your target customer? Are you hoping to improve workflows for frontend developers or enable non-developers to build web pages? Also, what are your thoughts on maintaining a Bootstrap Studio site?
FWIW, we hit a nice niche with freelance web designers and web agencies. Drag and drop streamlines the development process and it also enables more tech-savvy clients to jump in and make their own edits and updates.

Thanks for this! These could be really useful for folks creating design templates. There's tons of stock photos, icons, videos, etc available, but not a lot of logos.
I don't see any information about a license, though? This article might be helpful:
