Are there instructions for getting started with Rails 8? I haven't used RoR in a few years and this looks interesting.

I tried setting up the docker box with 'rails-new' but couldn't find instructions to use the beta, or even how to run bin/rails within the box.

Just to add to your comment: I've been running through the free LiveView course and it's been really great. I'm excited to finish it and continue with the pro one!

Fourth reason: To be to be remembered after you’re gone.

This looks really cool. I’ve been building something similar in Crystal to scratch my own itch - https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/EEQqvAeWkAAx3-3.mp4

Harry Potter is probably the most famous example of YA.

Good Reads have a whole section for it: https://www.goodreads.com/genres/young-adult

I think this is the best answer. It shows you _want_ to work there still which your boss will hopefully appreciate. Pretending to already have an offer could come back in your face.

acoustep | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you keep your files organized on macOS?

For code I usually use

~/Code

  ~/projects # for projects that span multiple languages

  ~/courses # For the various programming courses

  ~/valet # PHP projects using Valet+

  ~/devilbox # For Dockerized

  ~/elixir

  ~/node

  etc...

For notes I use Inkdrop and split things by hobbies/projects.

One thing I've been having trouble organising is photos. More specifically, organising original and retouched versions. I've come across one solution which is to do this:

~/Photos/

  2018/

    SpringOriginals/ # Keep original photos here.

    SpringAffinity/ # Save Affinity Photo files here

    SpringExports/ # Save exported re-touched photos here

I quite like this solution, but I'd be interested in knowing if there's anything better.

acoustep | 7 years ago | on: Show HN: Snipline – Shell command snippet organiser

I’ve been working on Snipline since around November and I’ve finally got it to the point where I’m happy to release it :).

My idea is that, instead of keeping commands in a note app or re-searching the web for them, you use them and then store them in Snipline for quick reuse. There’s also the added benefit of being able to replace context-specific parameters with each use. e.g. In a curl command, you would want to change the URL, the request type, headers, etc.

Some of the other features include, vim keybinds, multi-device sync, desktop apps as well as a web client. I’m currently planning on clients for mobile and command line in the future.

acoustep | 8 years ago | on: Verstory – find the latest release of pretty much anything

A little side project we've built in a few days that will hopefully be useful to some of you.

After speaking with clients, we found it cumbersome to keep visiting each of the developer sites when we wanted to know what the latest version of a CMS or Framework was, and when it had been released. So, we decided to build Verstroy so that everything is accessible quick and easy in a single place.

There's still a lot of tools we need to add but we would love some feedback. Let us know if you feel there are any entries that you think should be added as a priority.
