@CareBear Gawd, why does it need to be so complicated? Can't I have a graphical editor or something? :P

@CareBear As the saying goes, give the man a fish and he has food for a day, teach the man to fish and WHAT DID YOU DO YOU IDIOT, YOU LOST YOUR JOB TO HIM NOW!

user259867

@bjb568 Well... do you write HTML / CSS in WYSIWYG editors?

bjb568

@CareBear If I were writing HTML, yes, CMSs are a thing.

If I was a developer writing a node app, I'd echo stuff mostly in the server logic in HTML fragments.

Frank

@lostsock Not sure. A big problem is that there are only 3 20k-ers and only one of them is both regularly active and would use the privileges. I have 2k to go, which may take a month. Also, we are only getting 4.8 q/day.

1220 days in beta :(

Braiam

@Frank start spreading the word then...

Frank

@Braiam Yeah, actually the problem is this: If people I know have questions, they find it easier to ask me directly. :) I haven't successfully referred one person to GL.

Clients and such often want on-site consultation anyway, and that beats looking at pics on GL.

lostsock

@Frank and there's lots of helpful youtube videos where you can see how it works in action

Frank

@lostsock Yup. We did go from 3.3-4.8 q/day recently, so that's a good sign.
