I switched to Protonmail as my main email & have been very happy.

Every time I go back to check my old Gmail (I use it for signing up to products I know will spam me) I get very irritated at everything.

I love the social software podcast! It feels like I'm listening to real people building products, plus following along with Colleen Schnettler build her product has been really inspirational :D

I'm thinking Heroku. The experiences I've heard from developers writing for them has been super positive.

> I wonder if this is consistent with what others have seen or if it's something unique to this project?

I've spoken to a few other GitHub app creators, it's a fairly common experience. I think GitHub Actions are kind of viewed as the preferred alternative by GitHub so that's what they're focusing on.

You can use Turbolinks on any front end project (I use it on my static sites), it has a standalone JS library.

High beam lights which turn off in sections to not blind other drivers.

They're pretty neat! You can drive on a highway, have high beams lighting up signs but not dazzling other drivers.

I did the same. Now I’ve stopped using reddit as a news source, I feel a lot more upbeat. Plus my news cycle is a lot more localised now, which is a win!

I also unsubscribed from subreddits who started allowing false, but entertaining posts (like a image with a fake caption for karma). That was a good choice.

I removed my Chrome Extension from the store in February. It was averaging about £30 per a month in sales and the cost of keeping up-to-date with the changes in Chrome/the extension store seemed hardly worth it.

The thing which really pushed me over the edge was their new developer dashboard, it was a step in the right direction but what missing some key features which were present in the old dashboard. Googles solution? Make us use both dashboards for almost a year.

I do Rails full time and most the CoffeeScript lives in the "legacy" side projects. Most projects I'm on have moved to vanilla JavaScript or ES6 via Webpack.

I don't think it's dead (it's still popping up), but I think it's time has passed.

I think GitHub isn't trying to push the marketplace as hard as they were a year ago. I suspect the success of GitHub Actions makes the whole marketplace a bit of a risk they'd rather not waste time on.

I've seen a few portals (Like Heroku Dataclips / Metabase) which offer this.

That said, I shoehorned it into my daily routine otherwise I'd just end up not checking it for a few weeks at a time.

I regretted the name after launch. It seemed fun & playful at first, but soon its limitations became pretty apperent.

Next time I'm just going to use a "Does what it says on the tin" kind of approach to naming.
