Definitely not trolling. The Atlantic may be well-regarded, but it's full of pseudo-science and feel-good news that doesn't seem on par with Hacker News' adherence to quality.

There's already a tool that does this. Check out http://www.sanebox.com/.

The site is officially broken from an overload of HN requests.

rmorabia | 11 years ago | on: EtherCalc: Open-source web spreadsheet

I'm not sure if this is very helpful, but my two big issues were the lack of pages, of course, but mostly--the lack of text formatting for each cell. It makes the actual spreadsheet hard to read.

I've still going to use it because yes, it's very necessary to have a social spreadsheet platform that is open-source and that you can host on your own servers. Thanks for the work you put in.

How is this different than say, Twitter or even Facebook Pages?

This was mildly explored in the game Journey: http://thatgamecompany.com/games/journey/

Does anyone have any evidence against Adblock Edge?

I played this months ago. It's a highly entertaining game that serves as a great introduction to text-based games (formally called Interactive Fiction).

Medium is NOT a blogging platform, contrary to popular belief. Blogging is owning your content, and when you write for Mediium, make no mistake, it belongs to Medium.

Although, I just switched over from Wordpress to Jekyll, and I find it there to be a lot less friction for publishing. I talked more about the new and exciting workflow of Jekyll at http://rmorabia.com/redesign

I really don't agree with the author here. Hackability is what's aided my decision to publish more. It's just that a lot of people get caught up in the hackability more than the publishing.

Also, there's no data backing this post. I've seen plenty of active Hakyll sites. http://gwern.net is my favorite example.
