  • gitbook

    📝 Modern documentation format and toolchain using Git and Markdown

    Project mention: Open-Source Washing | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-27

    GitBook hasn't been open source since October 2018 (https://github.com/GitbookIO/gitbook) and software is usually judged by its most recent version. GitBook in its current form is a proprietary web service.

    VSCodium does exclude the proprietary features of Visual Studio Code, but I don't see how that should disqualify VSCodium from being open source. In fact, I use VSCodium frequently and I am satisfied with its feature set. VSCodium is also maintained by someone who is not employed by Microsoft, so I don't think it's fair to say that it is intentionally designed to be inferior to Visual Studio Code.

  • docz

    ✍ It has never been so easy to document your things!

    Project mention: Why aren't Node.js package managers interoperable? | dev.to | 2022-10-07

    This is a real concern. I've worked on some Yarn projects where I sometimes forget and accidentally run npm. Although these package managers (I'll call them PMs for short) are interoperable to some degree, there are important differences between these tools, so you should know what you're getting into. Even in seemingly simple projects, results can vary. Here are two reports of things working with one PM, but not another. Moreso, running install once is very different from continuous concurrent use, where you're adding and removing packages and more.

So when you're answering a question on SO and trying to send someone to the docs, you have to explain how to switch to composition. (https://github.com/vuejs/docs/issues/1901 and https://github.com/vuejs/docs/issues/1482)
