Instagram problems
#complain #dislike #thoughts

There is a huge problem that I see with Instagram. While it does an acceptable job with UI its UX is massively damaged.

Its supposed to be a platform where everyone can share photos (well, now videos and stories as well). The sharing mechanism by definition means that I can (try to guess) - share content with friends/people.

However, if a channel posts something nice and I try to share it, its vert likely that the person I shared it with won't see it right away.

Yes, if the group is private they will have to:
1. Click on the post
2. Follow the group
3. Wait till they get accepted
4. Revisit the post

Seriously?😳

4 steps to view shared post? Tell me about terrible UX.

Think of telegram as an alternative. Imagine there is a channel only with photos. I can easily share it in 1 click and the user will see it straight away.

☝️But where there is a problem - there is always an opportunity.

The next person who creates a bot or a service that allows easy sharing from private groups - will nicely disrupt instagram and might make a good bunch of 💰 (Instagram might even buy it, who knows)

What do you think?

🤮 They could do a better job

​​Dual-way relationship

I believe the only way to build a strong community is to give people a word 📢

One person physically cannot outperform the community's strength💪.

Some of you have contacted me with suggestion to create a chat so that everyone can contribute.

This, unfortunately, is something that usually end up with spam, unrelated material or simply google/stackoverflow questions (that have been already answered) 🤷‍♂

Thus, I gave it a good thought and decided to create a quick bot 🤖 where people could post useful and cool material/links that will get posted in the channel (well, after I approve it - to avoid ads and unrelated stuff).

The generated posts will look like the attached pic 👇

Thinking of creating an experimental weekly posts for learning programming

Each week will post a selected material on specified topics that can help you get into development fast.

Those who are already devs can simply extend their skillset with this.

The current draft structure is the following:

1. Quick Java + IDE
2. Basic Java programs
3. Git
4. Databases
5. What the fuck is Python and why everyone is so hyped about it?
6. JS and web development
7. Algorithms (it is important, guys)
8. Quick data structures
9. Frameworks + mobile/soft/web dev

Might also include some basic Computer Science topics to get you experienced.

The question is are you, guys are even interested in this?

Or maybe have proposition to include specific topics.

Starting 9 weeks of constant learning?

​​Sketching is a huge part of prototyping. It is pretty common to draw your UI on a piece of paper or whiteboard before moving it into XD, Sketch, Axure etc

Microsoft attempted to create something phenomenally cool this time - AI based recognition system for your sketches!

Take a photo and it will convert it into a prototype with ability to export in HTML, XAML or UWP.

Great article on the 7 rules of a great commit message or how to make people like you. Must read 👓

Appsco - great selection of the best progressive web apps. Find something for yourself without downloading hassle🔥.

I find it ridiculous that its so hard to find good quality in English speaking telegram channels that wouldn't spam with million ad tabs and thousand stickers😒.

Have a few channels in my list that I follow on a daily basis. Do you want an occasional reccomendations?🤔

Some of the channels are quiet small, others are a bit bigger.

If we get enough interest, I will be sharing those maximum once every two weeks. There is no option to get in this list with money, all you can do is share your channel and if it is really good and beneficial for the community - I will let others know about it.

Let's try to increase average content's quality together✊

I am talking about this tendency😩
Think that this shouldn't happen even for 💰 as this does put a large amount of users off🤷‍♂

Good morning!
To start off a new day, try to answer the below simple code snippet.

Imagine you are a JavaScript fan.

🤔What would be printed in console?

console.log("b" + "a" + +"a" + "a");

ES6 Promises - best article to understand promises and why you can't live without them if you building anything more complex than hello world 👌

103 correct answers. 85 people will benefit from the below explanation.

The correct answer to the morning's test is of course baNaNa🍌.

"b" + "a" + +"a" + "a";

This is an old-school joke in JavaScript, but remastered. Here's the original one:

"foo" + +"bar"; // -> 'fooNaN'

Explanation:

The expression is evaluated as 'foo' + (+'bar'), which converts 'bar' to not a number.

JavaScript is sometimes a weird thing. You can find more interesting tests here (sometimes barely applicable to real life)
