  Location: New York, NY
  Remote: Ok  
  Willing to relocate: Not at the moment  
  Résumé/CV: Upon request
Over a decade of experience building digital products. I’m a juror at The FWA and also had experience as an instructor for React's Nanodegree program for Udacity.

I’m available for part-time freelance work; project-based or mentorship/consultancy opportunities.

Some of my recent client work features Apple, Epic Games, Oscar Health and T‑Mobile.

Technology I use the most these days are React/React Native, Electron, TypeScript, GraphQL, Node.js and AWS. I also have experience with Clojure and am very interested in distributed systems.

Email, GitHub and more information available on my website: https://rinaldi.io


I've been using OmniGraffle[1] for that purpose for the past couple of years. Very satisfied with it.

I'm glad to see you're using my code for the book hover states: https://codepen.io/rafaelrinaldi/pen/LEYyKZ

If possible can you just mention it somewhere, or just buy me a coffee instead: https://buymeacoff.ee/rinaldi


I've added Codepen's MIT License [0] to your name to credit you correctly at the right spot on our CSS. New build will be rolled out in a couple of hours so kindly check back again.

If however you're still uncomfortable about us using this experiment without a coffee, do let me know and we'll remove it from Bubblin completely. Just kidding, we'll sponsor you a coffee as well ;-)

Doesn’t bother me at all I am genuinely happy to see it being used.

Good luck with the product.


Interesting tool... I personally use Kaleidoscope (Mac only) and I really like it: http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com


Burnout struggle is real.

People could be more empathetic in general, especially in open source where others use their free time to collaborate.

I genuinely hope that Doug Wilson doesn't quit collaborating since he has already done a really good job.


How do you fetch user information to be displayed on the sidebar? I've noticed some are not up to date (like Twitter bio and Gravatar images).


It comes from FullContact right now. We're investigating alternatives since the data isn't great.


Thanks for the mention Rafael! Would be happy to see if we can help grinich. Just shot you an email if you'd like to run a data test.


I'm not sure but Clearbit might be a good option: https://clearbit.com


I'm really impressed with how fast this project is evolving. Been keeping up with it for a while and today is the best mail client IMHO.

Kudos to all involved.


Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it. :) (I'm part of the Nylas team)


I don’t get the _fear_ of releasing the 1st version of a library at `1.0.0` and then doing major bumps whenever needed. That’s why semver exists in the 1st place.

There seems to be a lot of FUD around this subject.


I would love to know what the reasonable approach would be ideal from the people talking bad things about GitHub. If they responded to issues right away people would complain too.

It's not easy to come up with a solid plan for new features and improvements, specially in a company this big (that has a lot going on as we all know). What? You think they're going to get that list of complaints and start smashing some code? That letter is not even 1 month old. I can kinda understand the frustration but keep in mind that there's a lot of other things to handle, it's more complicated than that.

In the meantime if you're really struggling, there are other great options available out there like BitBucket and GitLab.

Treat their software development savvy usebase as stakeholders in their ongoing project rather than unwashed masses consuming a loss leader?

A mutually-agreeable reasonable approach probably doesn't exist. Limited visibility into the project may be considered exposing too much of the business for GitHub's tastes. So it will continue to be a one-way relationship, with all the baggage that comes with a one-way relationship (incl "talking bad things").


Well they used to be open about their future plans on their blog[1]. It hasn't been even a month after that letter and we _finally_ have a response from them. It really doesn't seem to be that big of a deal IMO.

A reasonable approach? When I'm in doubt, I just go with the truth. They could have said "Hey, we hear you, we're starting a group to figure out how best to resolve your issues." or "Hey, we've already been working on this, we'll get back to you in a couple of months." Or even a "Hey, we get you aren't completely happy, but we just don't have the time to address your concerns right no, but when we can, we will."

Any of those would have been better than perfect silence followed with, we'll see what we can do.


Well, they just published a down to earth response didn't they? Some companies don't even respond at all.

As I said, I can understand the frustration but they seem to be working on it. Give them some time or use other tools if you can't wait.


Then they might have grown too quickly then. At this point, is really not that hard to move to GitLab.
