I'm not sure when this started, a month at least, maybe 2-3, but a few Chrome versions ago, I noticed that selection and radio boxes simply stopped displaying on all website. I can still click where they are supposed to be and it activates them and lets me submit forms but it is really annoying. I google it every so often and all i find are results from years ago. Not sure where to ask or what to do. If it's a widespread issue then I will just wait for it to be fixed in a future version. If not I will re-install but am really trying to avoid re-doing all my settings...

I'm making a note-keeping web application and am looking to do a bit of idea validation. I'd really appreciate if everyone that read this could answer any or all of these questions:

A) Do you have a system for saving information to reference later?

B) What is your currently preferred app/system/setup for doing so?

C) What is one thing that bothers you about your current system you wish was done differently?

I'd love if you could give an up-vote and maybe get this to the front-page for maximum exposure. Thanks!

I know there are dozens of half-decent note keeping apps out there but I'm not satisfied with any of them and I have a dream of creating one that doesn't bother me the ways others do. I feel like this is the best idea I have going and I have it generally mapped out as to how I want it to look and function. I would love to create it and work on it for a long time to come but that would mean customers that pay to use it and I'm really clueless as to how many people out there care enough to open their wallet. I know I would if the product filled my void, and maybe that says enough...

Am I right in thinking that there does not exist a "just right" note-keeping application, despite this being one of the earliest needs of computer users and untold numbers of failed attempts? How many of you would be interested in switching your system for something better and would you be willing to spend $5-10/month to keep and organize all the information you want to keep and reference later if it was fast, easy to use, instantly synced, and pure convenience to pop in, drop some data off, organize, and reference later?

Asking for a friend...

i'm working on a project and trying to get a sense as to what type of text entry people prefer in their note-keeping apps. thanks in advance!

I love making web software as a hobby but I'm fairly short on ideas. My interest is definitely in the business/productivity SAAS side of things so I thought I would ask; what's a software tool or app you wish existed to make your personal or professional life easier?

I'm having a really hard time deciding between sticking with what little Python I know and using Django or switching over to Ruby/Rails for developing my side project. I'm hoping anyone could jump in and voice their opinion on either side.

Clearly the Ruby community is experiencing some kind of event where the numbers are shrinking and some of the more prolific bloggers/contributors are talking trash and moving on and i'm not sure what to make of this. There is alot of tutorials and information already out there but it's getting dated and i'm not sure how much of it that was written in several-versions-old Rails will still apply and there's not ton of new stuff coming out. There seems to be a gem or tutorial for anything I could need to do but it's growing more stale by the day as their creators seem to be off to greener pastures.

Python has it's moments for me but after doing some tutorials I'm really finding Ruby/Rails to be just fun and exciting to use. I like how thorough the framework is and the development experience in general, with console commands for everything and automated tests re-running on save, and it seems they are adding greatly to the rails core, as opposed to Django's big 2.0 feature was basically copying Flask's URL system. I also like the community having a vocal figure like DHH kind of "leading the pack" with alot of methodology I agree with.

Is ruby really as bad as people say and is on it's way out? Is leaving Python for it, if my only interest is web-application development, a dumb idea? it seems like i'm standing at this cross-roads looking out and seeing on one side, Rails is awesome but people hate Ruby, and the other side is people love Python but Django is a big limp dick and I don't have time to program the kitchen sink with Flask. choosing between either is very confusing...

Let me start by saying I am familiar with all of the options and am not looking for any recommendations to "just use django". I know all about django and, imo, it still falls really short of what rails provides. A solid system (rack::attack) for throttling, a built in jobs and storage system that doesn't rely on a 3rd party library, ERB > django template language, Capybara is amazing, built in asset pipeline, etc, etc.

Basically I love everything about the idea of rails and what it provides. I only care about web applications and it is basically as close as anyone can get to having so many bases covered all under one roof and humongous community support to boot.

My problem is: I know python. I think python. I cannot for the life of me grock ruby or rails and I just can't seem to stick with trying to understand it when I could just be trying to get stuff done with what I already know. But I'm not happy with the solutions on the what-i-know side of the fence so I'm conflicted to the point of stagnation here.

I think I just needed to vent a little but I'm really hoping someone out there has had a similar experience and could offer some insight.

Thanks for reading.

The beginner-level stuff is bountiful but I am having trouble tracking down anything beyond the basics. Could anyone list/link where do you go for more advanced how-to's with Ruby on Rails and/or some opensource projects that are readable and "best practices"-like?

Thanks in advance.

I'm really in need of some intermediate-level resource of code samples to help me get a grasp of how to do things beyond the basics all the tutorials stop at.

I'm interested in making a transition from python/flask/django to ruby/rails and I'm hoping someone could point me to a book and/or open-source project that covers alot of the common setups/best practices for a modern rails project, similar to what the subject resources provide for python's django framework.

Even the best 'learn rails' resources stop short of any real production-quality boilerplate/setups. The django resouces listed I have found invaluable to getting to a truly intermediate level of understanding and I would really appreciate anything like this to reference how things "should be done" on the ruby/rails side. Thanks in advance!

Cookiecutter-django ( https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django ), production-ready new project boilerplate that covers everything from

* 12-Factor settings, security * registration * grunt/gulp setup * sending emails * media storage * heroku deployment checklist * serving static files * delayed tasks with celery * error/performance monitoring

Say some code snippet or instructions for doing something, workflow for common tasks, notes to yourself while researching, or anything you might want to come back to, what is your process for saving and recalling this information later?

i am personally not satisfied with any of the options out there for note keeping. theres plenty of stuff like Evernote and Onenote for writing stuff but I find their one-level-folder organization structure to be hard to navigate and digging up information down the road cumbersome.

i really desire an application that allows me to store all the bits of information i come across and want to save and access later. something more akin to a bookmarking service, but for notes and with search and multi-level-tree folder organizing. despite this being an issue as old as the internet itself and countless attempts to solve the problem, i really don't see or have heard of a solution that does what i want simply and awesomely. this would also be a web-only app so that notes are available immediately between devices and no waiting for syncing.

i want to build this and i want to know if anyone feels the same and if so, would you be willing to pay for a solution?
