I did a similar analysis a year ago and came to the conclusion that ProseMirror (https://prosemirror.net) was the right choice for my project. ProseMirror is an excellent toolkit for building your own rich text components and happens to also be written by the author of CodeMirror. It does not give you as quick an out of the box experience as slate (or any of the other rich text libraries out there) but its speed and flexibility is excellent.

I am really curious about this point of view. Many of my friends and colleagues share it. Do you really see no issue with downloading something for free if it isn't provided to you in a way you can pay for and consume that you prefer? Are you okay that you are not paying for something that really does take a large amount of money to create?

Like I said, I'd prefer to pay for what I consume. I'm not ok with paying cable companies extortionate fees simply because they were able to develop a semi-monopoly on content distribution while they provide painfully poor service and actively work to avoid adapting to the fact that the internet has drastically reduced distribution costs. Shows that are available one day later on Amazon/Hulu or the like, I wait a day and purchase, so it's actually a lot more uncommon than you think that I pirate shows (that said, I'd pay more in some cases to be able to purchase the show when it airs - for events like Breaking Bad). HBOGo, WatchESPN, Showtime anywhere - they built a system that allows shared accounts explicitly, so there is no guilt on my part for not paying for a cable subscription just to get those channels, and if those companies wanted to enforce a policy of individual accounts, I'd happily pay for a subscription to just those channels.

I realize some of this is not perfectly logical and is contradictory. However, I see it as a broken system, with entrenched players acting poorly, and the best way to force adaptation is to pay when they offer me a way to and not pay when they don't. My hope is that this incentivizes the power players to move towards a system where all content is available for purchase should someone want to purchase it (which, given the minimal barriers to uploading copyrighted content, seems like they should have embraced long ago - especially as companies like Netflix and Amazon monitor pirated content to determine their targets).

There is a version of vimium for firefox too. I prefer using it so i don't have to think about the minor differences between vimperator and vimium when I switch browsers.

I found it very limited (just movement keys) even compared to Chrome vimium. You can remap vimperator (or pentadactyl) keys anyway. The only difference I remember was d (close tab) instead of x.

I showed my non-programmer/non-vim using friend this extension and he really loves it. Specifically the fF and T commands.

Cool site! I would suggest trying to scrape taphunter.com to find beers to add to your system. Doing that weekly for some of the bigger beer towns in the country would add a bunch of brews to your list.

What don't you like about it? Other than requiring a subscription to a cable provider i have found it to be pretty amazing.

> Other than requiring a subscription to a cable provider...

I was not aware of this. Anything I've said about HBO Go that sounded positive may be redacted and ignored.

It requires a subscription to HBO. HBO is only available via cable companies.

If you look at the situation I don't really blame HBO for that. HBO sells content to the cable companies, and the cable companies have to deal with the end users. So HBO might get a little less money than they could if they avoided the middleman, but on the other hand, they don't need to deal with sensitive customer data and huge customer support call centers.

I guess I don't really blame them for valuing profit over customer satisfaction, per se.

I occasionally watch things with my friend who has access to HBO Go in our office. It's horrible. Adaptive bitrate streaming is slow to switch or nonexistent, buffer times are too long, aspect ratios are often handled incorrectly in their player, and even figuring out how to log into the damned thing is an absolute nightmare. The Netflix user experience is vastly superior.

This is basically my answer to ndvivedi. In addition, I would add that I've had better quality from the Xfinity player, which also lets me view HBO content.

I've found HBO Go quality to be a bit too poor, even on a great connection.

Neither are nearly as good as Netflix, which I can force the bitrate using CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-S, let it buffer for a little while, then watch it straight through without issue. (Granted the secret hotkey is a little unfair, and HBO Go may very well have one too. That's the least important part, though)

I didn't know about that hot key! I'm guessing it's command opt shift on + s on the mac, I'll have to give that a try, thanks!

CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-D also gets you into Diagnostics mode.

I learned both of these from Day[9], of all people.
