If only it was more affordable to convert office space to housing. Two big wins: more housing, more people living in downtowns.


You could always start your own 'Web Archive' or start a nonprofit that funds the maintenance and operation of one


"As a company we take a lot of pride in helping developers"

Oh really? You: commoditize humans by reducing them to a score, you: destroy their public contributions

Sounds like you're a pretty terrible dev advocate. You should be ashamed to show your username and affiliation on HN.


Not the author but the setup script lists it as MIT: https://github.com/whitew1994WW/PyIng/blob/master/setup.py


Can you give some practical examples of where that would be useful? Honestly curious, don't know much about this space.


Physical sticker exposed to the environment. Scrapes/marks are common, they would render the “HR” code useless, but the QR would be fine. Or at least stay fine for longer. So the trade off becomes: do I post something that will be accessible to everyone, even those without a phone, for a week; or do I post something that will be accessible to everyone with a phone for two weeks. Given almost everyone has a phone, the answer is obvious. (Making up the times, but you get the idea)


A lot of applications centralize their logo in a QR code, obscuring a significant chunk. Yet the code scans fine and there is some nice custom recognizability for which service it is.


Maybe scanning from photos where the code is obscured, bad quality, almost-trashed physical codes.


Can you use this with React, Angular, and Vue components?


Malvid can display anything a browser can display. It should also work fine with React, Angular, and Vue components when you can create a preview HTML for each component (the preview HTML is required for the preview on the top right). This might be the tricky part, but you can use any tool you want to generate it.


An extension called Currently that shows the current time and weather. Pretty minimalist and I like being reminded of life outside the 4 walls of my office.

#4a4a4a... Why is off-black text on white backgrounds so popular with designers? Darken this and the whole theme becomes even easier on the eyes


This and the button style (which to me don't look enough like buttons to be 100% clearly identifiable) would be my criticisms as well. Other than that it looks nice.


Thanks. Author here, could you please expand on

  which to me don't look enough like buttons
Perhaps I could add some sort of 3d effect/animation on button:hover.


I just looked at the demo again and it is only the <input type=… buttons that (since they have no extra styling compared to the other inputs?) don't stand out enough, when I imagine the <button type=… ones next to a form they look fine. (I personally like a 3D-effect on buttons, but that's really a matter of taste and doesn't always fit the other elements)


I think it's due to people not having really bright screens. If your screen is too dim, you need the background to be as white as possible. Another factor is that off-white can be percieved as dirty.

Ideally, I'd prefer if off-white was the standard for backgrounds, and you could use bright white for highlights and more contrast in images. Or maybe 100% white should be the standard, and you have a screen that goes to 110% :-). Maybe one day when HDR screens become standard...


Just to clarify: I'm talking about the font color being too light against a light background :O


I know. I was speculating why some website creators prefer dark grey on bright white, as opposed to pitch black on slightly off-white (which I think is easier on the eyes).


Line ghosting [0]. Which can be alleviated with more spacing between lines and a larger font size, but even then I still find it problematic personally. "Ghosting" is a lot less noticeable on light backgrounds, which I think is just how the eyes "work".

You absolutely nailed the blur that these startup pages and mission statements become. Lols were had!
