Have you looked at something like Slippers[1]? It allows you to have a set of components that you use in Django templates. I'm using Bulma, not Tailwind, for my project and I like how it creates an abstracts over e.g. CSS classes.

You can use only the merge functionality - it can be launched from git (via mergetool).

I tried to convert from VS Code to PyCharm a while back - I didn't (too familiar with VSC), but I stuck with the merge view for some time - it's absolutely amazing!

If it could be ingrated with [WeeChat] [1], it could be a way to provide iMessage support as a [web browser chat client] [2] and to [Android devices] [3].

It's "just" using AppleScript for some GUI scripting, it's still using the Messages.app. Still a pretty cool project.

Hi, op here, I also made this last summer for purposes of imessaging on a windows phone: https://github.com/CamHenlin/imessageservice

unfortunately integration with other services is pretty difficult because everything requires routing messages through the OS X messages client

From reading the readme, it seems it only works on a Mac and you have to have messages.app running and logged in.

On: Slack Acquires Screenhero (YC W13)

We tested Slack some months ago, but rejected it due to lack of solution for VoIP and video conference.

I am not seeing this acquisition is changing this. In order to have a meeting with multiple participants, we will still need Skype/Hangouts/Lync/WebEx.

[joelandren → adieth]

Our team has been using the Google Hangouts integration for months and it's worked flawlessly.

[jacques_chester → joelandren]

Hangouts has a maximum number of participants. For large phone conferences it's not usable.

[sciurus → adieth]

What are you using instead?

[adieth]

They also have an (a bit difficult to find) SDK [1] available, for those not using Skype or Lync. But then there are cheaper [2] or different [3] alternatives if you don't need the existing integrations.

I don't understand why so many people use Slack, while it is completely lacking voice and video.

Looking at HipChat and Slack now, I would select HipChat because of the video and screen sharing features.
