I didn't get past the pricing page to be honest. Podio costs $20/seat for premium, your product costs $48 for pro (with enterprise price not even listed)

I have seen it a lot of code over the years, sometimes referred to as "shorthand ternary" or the "and-or-trick". In Python and/or do not return a boolean, but one of its input arguments. So I am going to say it is official syntax, but I don't know to what extent it's encouraged

Python also has "shorthand ternary" which uses and/or:

    a = bar and foo # "or None" is implied
    b = bar and foo or baz

It does almost the same but not quite. In the latter example, if foo is falsey, it evaluates to "b = baz":

    b = bar ? (foo ? foo : baz) : baz

I cut my teeth on Perl back in the day, and while I have stopped using it completely by now, I am no hater. But this article does not contain the word "bless", and I wonder why it was left out. If I had to guess, it's not as easy to defend as the nice features.

My interpretation is $1 reads as "unistroke"/"singlestroke" while $N = "multistroke"

The subreddit is /r/Random_Acts_Of_Pizza and still in operation. /r/RandomActsOfPizza was a copycat started with the explicit purpose of bartering nudes for pizza (forbidden in the original). It was later shut down when it turned out it was run by a scammer.

I like the idea and the execution, nice job!

> Nobody's speed-reading code. That doesn't make sense.

Well, I speed-read code all the time.. it's a necessity in my role as independent consultant. Clients have a lot of half-baked/unfinished projects, and I'm called in to get it progressing. Speed-reading enables me to assess the state of the existing code and suggest a way to move forward, without breaking the bank up front.

That said, for me column width is irrelevant for speed-reading. The typical time-killer is lacking separation of concerns and poor naming conventions (God classes, or worse, God files with 20 classes)

There was a lot of issues with the "new" Yahoo Groups web frontend. A feedback system was set up, but virtually all the reports were ignored. They removed it altogether at some point, so you couldn't even see reports or vote counts. It became infuriating to use; at first it was basically useless, the most critical issues were (slowly) fixed. But search and pagination was significantly worse than before, and it truncated all subjects, even if they would fit perfectly fine in view. The post overview literally looked like "Can you ....", "Question about ....", "Processor is ....". Putting on the tinfoil hat, it almost seems like they wanted it to die, leaving this issue unfixed..

The (one) group I followed basically disbanded in the year following the "new" launch. I think it's about a year ago they officially closed it down, activity moved to a Facebook group and a subreddit. It's a pity really, I miss the mailing list architecture.
