“The Economics of Programming Languages” by Evan Czaplicki [video]
I really loved this talk and feel for Evan. As someone who was a VC/Angel investor in the space (I was the initial angel investor for something called LightTable/Eve) back in the day, worked for a couple of years at Red Hat, and am working on my own Open Source Language here: https://github.com/yazz/yazz (so yes, you could say I am a VC trying to build a low code product with my own hands), so I feel I have a valid opinions on this. I think that it is possible to make money in opensource as a little guy, but you need to have a combination of consulting, hosting, and support services. If your product is not able to encapsulate being sold and packaged as something that is possible to demo and sell to customers then you will most likely struggle to make a living from it

Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?
I am actually trying to make an open source successor, but using Javascript instead of Basic, at https://github.com/yazz/yazz and a demo at yazz.com

Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
I'm still building a low code system with an easy to use component marketplace where you can edit components within the low code tool. Still a work in progress: https://github.com/yazz/yazz

Show HN: Scrapscript – The Sharable Programming Language
Author of a framework that also stores it's code in IPFS for easy sharing (https://github.com/yazz/yazz). ScrapScript is a really nice concept with how it stores code. I originally got the idea for storing the code as a hash of the contents from Unison, and it looks like the idea is really starting to catch on with more and more languages now. Well done!

A look at Unison: a revolutionary programming language
I’m working on a low core project that is already using content addressable source code that is stored in IPFS at https://github.com/yazz/yazz so it can be done

DBOS: A Database-Oriented Operating System
There are already some Dbos type systems out there. I built one which stores program state in SQLite databases and process state and programs are also stored in SQLite. In the oat I believe things like silver stream did the same too. The project I made is open source too: https://github.com/yazz/yazz

Cookbook for SH-Beginners. Any interest? (building one)
okay new plan, does anyone know how to do this docsify on github? i obviously am a noob on github and recently on reddit. I'd like to help where i can but my knowlegde seems to be my handycap. i could provide you a trash-mail, if you need one, but i need a PO (product owner) to manage the git... i have no clue about this yet (pages and functions and stuff)

Ask HN: Any Sugestions for Proceures Documentation?
The tools to author it aren't that important, frankly. Ask your audience what they're most comfortable using and try to meet them there.
If the stakeholders are technical, you have more options. If they aren't, I hope you like Google Docs or Word, because if you give them anything other than that or a PDF, they'll probably complain. At worst, yeah, write it in a long Markdown text file and use tools like pandoc to transform that into other formats as needed.
If you do need a website and you're not generating enterprise-scale amounts of content (and it sounds like you're not) try things that let you avoid needing build steps and infrastructure if at all possible, so you can iterate and deploy changes with as little friction as you can.
Tools like Docsify[1] can take a pile of Markdown files and serve a site out of them, client- or server-side, without a static build step. Depending on the org, you can get away with GitHub's default rendering of Markdown in a repo. Most static site builds for stuff your scale are overengineered instances of premature optimization.
Past those initial hurdles, the format and tools challenges are all in maintenance. How can you:
- most easily keep the content up to date
- delegate updates as the staff grows or changes
- proactively distribute updates ASAP to the people who'd most benefit from receiving them
That's going to depend a lot more on who'll contribute updates, what their technical proficiency's like, and how they prefer to communicate. It might be a shared git repo and RSS or Slack notifications if they're comfortable with those things, and it might be a Google Doc and email if they're like most non-technical stakeholders.

Big fan of https://docsify.js.org since theres no need to compile your static site. A small amount of js just renders markdown.

I'm a co-founder of an IT agency, and I need help with new ideas.
There are a lot of open-source projects that can help businesses to save time and money. For example, we created a Free Admin panel a few months ago https://github.com/altence/lightence-admin That's an example of free documentation generator https://github.com/docsifyjs/docsify There are a lot more examples. And I want to find an idea of some similar generic solutions that can help various types of businesses
