I like this idea, but the app seems buggy. I tried to go through the initial steps, but in several places the Next button just did not work at all (After choosing logo fonts, choosing main color), just reloaded the page, and ended up in an inconsistent state with forever-loading icons. Gave up after 15 minutes of struggling. Chrome 95 on Manjaro.

I had several onsets of RSI a few years back, and had to resort to voice coding as a last resort, after stretches, pauses and ergonomic everything did not do the job. It was pretty awful.

But then, after having seen doctors and neurologists, and finally a physical therapist, I came across my salvation: - Exercising my hands.

I very rarely see this mentioned for some reason. I exercised regularly, but only the bigger muscle groups, rarely grip strength and wrist strength. It felt counter-intuitive to exercise my already extremely painfully aching hands (when typing), but using grip weights and other methods to work out my hands and wrists, the pain went away quickly! If you are not diagnosed with carpal tunnel, and not already doing this, definitely try it, it saved my career.

Very close to my story! Only that it was the student project that worked out. We started out with 5 students living off student loans. After a year we were finished with school, and went unpaid for another year. Started with a micro salary by then, and 2 of the original founders had left.

Now, 5 years after we started we are 7 full time emps, though not yet profitable.

Seems like front page HN is too much for this website. Only getting 500s and error pages.

Fantastic work. Our company use Semantic-UI for pretty much every project, as do I privately. A pleasure to work with, way above other frameworks I've used.

Thank you for the hard work done here! We make extensive use of your library, and love how well maintained and easy to use it is.

I think this is really great! Will definitely save this for later.
