I did the Hackintosh thing for a friend on one of those 10” HP mini-laptop 5 years ago. It was delightful when it worked, however every macOS update (or OS-X back then) was a toothache—usually culminating in 2-7 hrs of googling/re-configuring etc. It wouldn’t have been so bad if the machine wasn’t this person’s main machine, or if I had waited longer before updating (so known procedures to make things work were available and not still being understood and developed by the community).

Might be a very different experience on a desktop, but definitely read up on the update experience and time-cost if you go this route.

I'm curious about how long you were using Mac and how much of the ecosystem you were taking advantage of. Specifically were you using Apple messaging, photos, and / or email?

Also, did you take advantage of handoff or airdrop?

I imagine if you were strictly using cloud services, it was a relatively painless transition.

Great article @prostoalex--gets excellent 1/2 way in with the details I was looking for.

Esp. interested in more on this:

'A major concern was that Russian spies with physical proximity to sensitive U.S. buildings might be exfiltrating pilfered data that had “jumped the air gap,” i.e., that the Russians were collecting information from a breach of computers not connected to the Internet, said former officials.

One factor behind U.S. intelligence officials’ fears was simple: The CIA had already figured out how to perform similar operations themselves, according to a former senior CIA officer directly familiar with the matter. “We felt it was pretty revolutionary stuff at the time,” the former CIA officer said. “It allowed us to do some extraordinary things.”'

Agreed--though much of the core code is shareable between both targets.

When I first discovered the prototyping capabilities for colors/themes/samples in the Chrome dev tools, my mind was blown away b/c of how fast I could iterate. A plug-in might take that to the next level. It's hard to say without me surveying more of what's out there and in use--I get the sense that at a certain level, teams rely more on tools like Sketch, inVision studio, Framer etc. for this.

Wondering how (if) your product differs significantly from docsend (docsend.com) and if you have plans to take this further?

Agreed. Also thought the git did a good job of showcasing the plugin.

I was looking at the website and trying to connect the dots--the thing I'm wondering is how 2020 madness knows about a donation.

Is 2020 madness a wrapper to a candidate's ActBlue landing page / site, collecting form data for it's purposes and re-transmitting it to ActBlue or is there a tie to the receipt or some other mechanism?

Interesting gamification idea btw.

Checked out the preview on htmlstream and really enjoyed how complete this is and all the items you've included.

One thing I saw was during my mobile litmus test (Chrome developer tools set to iPhone 5SE), it didn't render using the full screen width, being offset left. Checking the element dimensions confused me because they matched those given for the device. Perhaps an issue in Chrome I'm using (76.0.3809)--when I inspect I see that the root element width of 320x568 matches that stated for the device. Looks fine on other device emulations with more than 400 pixels of width.

Thanks @timqian--really like the look of this and the examples cracked me up--esp.: "Monthly income of an indie developer".

I'd 2nd the comments below on Safari & size--ultimately I'm excited about using this in some mobile projects we're planning.
