Can confirm BitWarden as a great LastPass alternative. Have been a paying LastPass user for years and have switched the the paid BitWarden. Zero issues and 100% open-source


Congrats on the launch of Coursedog!

I work in HE in Australia and a number of unis have switched from manual/xls to Akari [0]

A comparison page on your website with CourseDog vs X would be welcome – just so it’s easy to see what you provide vs the market

A scheduling tool that works with academic workload models (not sure if this is Australia specific thing) that optimises[1] academic and resource/room allocation would be very welcome

* No. 1 complaint from students is class scheduling!

[0] http://www.akarisoftware.com/index.cfm/page/solutions

[1] with multiple optimisation models

  - students want more classes at student friendly times that allow work+study
  - universities want less classes
  - academics want classes in work friendly hours etc...


Hi also Justin,

You described what we do perfectly. We're pretty interested in expanding internationally, and would love to connect via a call if you are open to it?


The Asus Chromebook Flip works great as a ChromeOS 'tablet' - just assuming that you use it in laptop mode 90% and tablet 10% of the time.

Trying to use ChromeOS 90% of the time in tablet mode just isnt going to work

Should of gone with a slimmed down Pixel with a flip or slide keyboard (with trackpad) - that wold of been awesome and actually make sense

Pixel C doesnt work

Anyone whose tried to use Android as a laptop replacement - with keyboard etc.. knows the pain - Android doesn't work as a 'work' device/laptop - wish it would but it currently just doesnt :(


What are the main pain points of using android with a keyboard? People have mentioned not having split screen, however IOs just got that a fee months ago, and people used it with keyboards Lal the time before that.


Mostly slow application switching on my case. It's significantly better than on iPad due to OS having better keyboard support (yes, even the Pro keyboard is awful to use), but it doesn't really compare to proper desktops.


looks great - will you been adding offline support?

mainly ability to sync changes made offline on clients back to server and handle conflicts?


Thanks! Offline support is on the roadmap - the iOS and Android clients actually already use a local database, so we're nearly there.


hey dan, looks amazing - just what i need to stealth teach my 4 year old

question: is it possible to get a PDF/print out version so that i can start playing robot turtles with my son till the international version ships?


Google's Chrome extensions are BSD like license

Assuming you've installed the extension you can grab its source from Chrome .config directory * which I imported and updated to github: https://github.com/justinkelly/chrome-rss

The actual original source in SVN/Git may already be public but i've no idea where it is - somewhere deep in the chromium repo??


I wouldn't call the Google Talk extension to be under the BSD license even though it is Google's. This extension is far simpler than that though.

As for the original source, it's not in the Chromium repo:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#search/&q=...


@crazysim - this is from the source of the extension

It isn't that I don't believe you, but I don't see a license file in any of the Google-owned extensions I have installed. Source?


refer the header is this file i imported into github

Hi Guys

Like many on the list I'm a heavy chrome and rss user. Though the demise of Google Reader is no great surprise I was grumpy that Google removed the RSS Subscription extension from the Chrome webstore.

I've forked Google's extension, updated it and loaded back into the Chrome webstore.

Added support for Feedly, NewsBlur and The Old Reader. Removed Google Reader, iReader, My Yahoo

Also code is now up on github

Nice effort. Have decided to move off of Chrome, so preparing Firefox and all.


Me too. Already jumped and Firefox is quite fast and light as compared to Chrome. You'll enjoy it.


thanks - i think alot of others will join you in jumping ship


Awesome, thanks! Can this also bounce the subscribe request to an offline reader like RSSOwl? If not, how hard would it be to implement something like that?


this extension can't at the moment, but there is an extension that does
