A question: I know of some companies and banks with such issues. I am no Troy Hunt - what would you do about this? Public shaming doesn't really work when you aren't a public person. Also this is in non-english environment, so there are no such public figures...

Most of those Troy Hunt examples were submitted to him by non-public people. You could probably just email/tweet him.

Can't wait to try out the Linux version!

Its made with Electron so my understanding is it should work on Windows/Linux/Mac out of the box!

Electron? The obvious snarky comment has to then be "oh and it should manage to be slower than Thunderbird out of the box, too!"

I hope he's had better luck integrating spell check than the RamBox devs have ;)

edit: yes, I would love to test it and provide numbers rather than just snark - I just have to wait for the ~5,000 people ahead of me in the queue to have their software pressed to disk and posted to them before it's my turn o.0

Haha "pressed to disk and posted" that was a fun remark :)

I'm baffled as to why I have to queue for something that's neither a physical product nor a service platform. Doubly so when the link posted seems to just bump someone else up the queue.

As a hacker news link it does strike me as a form of clickbait (and it honestly winds me up); "Hey HN! come look at this thing I've built that I'm not letting you look at!"

Since I am only one developer currently, and there will probably be bugs, I don't want thousands of people having the same bug, this is the reason I'm not releasing it right away.

This seems like a totally legitimate reason - but in that case maybe the announcement on HN (the tech website keeping the slashdot* effect alive) should have come once there was a public RC.

Also, if it's bugs and the reporting of that you're worried about, maybe publish a proper bugtracker (github is both adequate and free) rather than just an email address?

* slashdot effect; as in taking a webserver down just with the amount of people viewing it. Or to put it another way, if you wanted lots of people viewing your project, let them. If you don't, then don't advertise it to them!

Some stuff needs to be sorted out and adapted to Linux so it might take some time before it's out on Linux. However, a lot of users has requested a Linux version which makes this a priority

Ahh sorry for spreading misinformation then. I started playing around with Electron a bit when I discovered that both my Discord and Slack apps are Electron and its pretty awesome tech.

Best of luck with your client!

I think "Borgen" is far more realistic when it comes to politics, the "shadow play" and intricacies

Hey, I have done some work on my fork, and now it plays NYAN CAT (didn't have any better idea...)

You have to calibrate it before it starts playing.

Hey, I forked your repo and added tuning, so that everyone can adjust it for their display

Maybe I'll get to get it play music (a json with timings and notes would suffice, I suppose?)

Hey! For me, this produces sound for the whole range of heights/frequencies! It plays a bit more silent for high frequencies, but for the lowest ones, the sound is quite loud (given it's produced by a screen...) and I think, it could easily go for an even lower pitch. I am using a modified SyncMaster 203B (I replaced some of the electrolytic capacitors after the lighting ceased to work, so that may be it...)

My monitor plays the whole range as well, that's what I calibrated the height sweep to.
