Ps. Hope he doesn't expect work today8 -
Hello World!
I'm a bot made by @xzvf.
My goal is to find all active users on devRant and
collect analytics based on it.
By analytics I just mean things like:
- Total number of users.
- Number of users with x ++ or more
- Number of rants posted in a certain timeframe
- Number of users active in the last day/month/year
THIS BOT WILL NOT TRACK INDIVIDUAL USERS!
Also, it will not ++/-- anything automaticly as that is definitely against the rules.
-@xzvf33 -
Don't you guys think devRant should have option to follow any user, so that u never miss a rant from that fellow ??11
-
!dev !rant but a whole lotta devRant
After talking to a friend about joining devRant++ he said it was a path he could not follow. This is him soon

No Rant, just wanted to say devRant is something I have been looking for in a long time, Love it !3
-
when there is no project I work in, I am just a lazy ass. And that's what happened this morning after I waked up.
Me: *bring me phone, enter the toilet and open devrant.
~30 minutes late~
Wife: *knock knock* are you there?
Me: oh hey, yes I am
Wife: it is devrant again?
Me: 😶3 -
!rant
God damn, was I living under a rock all this time. Where were you(devrant) all this time?? So glad I came here.
Downloaded this app few days ago and have used this app more than fb, insta or Twitter.11 -
<rant about devRant>
Can people please stop posting images stolen from someone else trying to get some points. I'm here to read rants and other interesting things you encounter while working with software development, not look at memes. Thank you.
</rant about devRant>12 -
@dfox How about a Devrant t-shirt feature?
Where you can enter the id of your favorite rant. Then it just prints the t-shirt with the Devrant logo and the text from the rant.
Would be awesome!4 -
I've just come back from a business networking event. There was a speaker who gave a talk about not wasting time.
On of her points was catching up on emails, from your smart whilst waiting to go into meetings, as that's apparently wasted time.
All I do whilst waiting to go into meetings is read devrant :)
It puts me in s good mood :)

I sat in a 30 minute meeting with our company's ISP. We ended up talking about devRant for 10 of those minutes2

Java and C
Java and C were telling jokes. It was C's turn, so he writes something on the wall, points to it and says "Do you get the reference?" But Java didn't.7 -
@dfox created devrant to rant and after creating it he felt so satisfied by the appreciation and community , that he left with nothing to rant about.3
-
13 fucking USD in shipping for a 9 USD rubber duck? Fuck no.
Spend $2 a month and most likely forget I am now subscribing to devRant++? Yeah, sure. Why not, right?
Seriously though, thank God for this platform, I'm luckily not the only one with struggles..5 -
Why do I ++ like 90% of the rants?
Devrant is HOWSOMEEEEEEE, thank you guys.
BTW, most distraction? Devrant3 -
I remember a time when there was just rant on devRant... then there was devMemes... Now its just devRepostMemesFromReddit7
-
Is zooming into images on devrant fucked for anybody else? (since the latest update only) I have to doubletap to zoom in and also then "limit" effects happen when I try to move around, as if the image ends into every direction where I zoomed in.7
-
*Open devRant on my phone
*Scrolling, laughing, do things.
*Enough devRant now, close the app
*Open devRant on my laptop
Me: What am I doing here ! -
YouTube: SPENDING 24 HOURS IN PRISON CHALLENGE (GONE WRONG) (GONE SEXUAL) (COPS CALLED)
devRant: SPENDING 24 HOURS STRAIGHT ON DEVRANT TELLING EVERYONE THAT APPLE IS BAD AND MY SECURITY IS BETTER (GONE WRONG) (DATA BREACHED) (DFOX CALLED)21 -
That moment when you leave your phone with devRant open and your boss walks in to your office and recognizes it.
#NotSureIfFiredOrGettingARaise2 -
Is this seriously the devRant website? It has an advertisement for the mobile app that takes up 60% of the screen?!?!
21 -
It'd be really cool if devRant had some kind of cli tool for random rants during the workday direct from the terminal. Imagine being able to do:
$ dr 'fuck this shit'9 -
Thank you David and Tim for adding devrant++! I have been wishing you add this for like 6 months! Totally getting it!1

What would you change if you were the owner of a site like devrant?
I've been in devrant for weeks now and the thing I like the most of it is the community (at least most of it).
If you are going through a bad time, they wish you well.
People here also seem to have very decent work experience.
In general, they seem to be open towards other technologies and honest about their shortcomings.
I also like that the site (for better or worse) is not insanely moderated.
For example, in reddit, it's very easy to get a post removed because it doesn't abide to the rules. They can be rudiculous strict, and mods can be trigger happy.
I'm not denying the existence of any moderation here, but for example I've seen some pretty graphic sexual comments, and I appreciate that anything goes (except being a dick ofc).
And I guess that the fact that the community is so chill has to do with that, there's not a huge need for moderation (unless I'm totally oblivious).
But how do you keep a community like that?
I've seen people complaining about the influx of new users and the spam of shitty memes.
How do you keep devrant cool while letting new people join?
I think a necessary thing is that you separate the people into 'universes' and each universe has a limit of x users. And somehow the users are distributed in a way that the average level of 'user likes the universe they're in' is maximum.
Now, how do you create that? Not sure, maybe you let users vote whether they like the other users or not (such votes being hidden to others ofc) and let users switch unis if they don't like them.
What ideas do you have?9 -
devrant is an amazing place. I came to know abt programmers as young as eleven year old and as old as fifty six. truly amazing. thanks @dfox and @trogus.
-
A new Motto for devRant.
devRant - a fun community where angry computermen talk abt their problems.2 -
Showed devRant to a fellow computer science student, he smiled and said it's like 9gag for nerds. Never talking to him again.7
-
I just fucking love the feature of "click outside the textbox and lose all you wrote" on devrant, keeps my blood boiled just right. I am counting every second until the new webapp is supposedly coming 😢7
-
"What app is that?"
"It's like yik yak for developers..."
"Like FML for programmers..."
"Like one big groupme for computer scientists..."
"Like Josh from Intro to Data Structures..."
I'm running out of ways to describe devRant.1 -
Is it just me, or does devRant now display the exact same rants as before whenever you open it? I've seen the same 5 rants 20 times today.5
-
Just wanted to take a moment to say that I'm really impressed with devrant. I'm not the most talented programmer, and it just blows my mind how one/two devs can build this entire platform from scratch on their free time. I wouldn't even know where to start.3
-
just arriving at devRant and seeing you guys use one of my favorite font ... let's create an account ;-)5
-
Devrant !! A platform for frustrated devs ranting about their runtime exceptions which only devs can decompile ... Cool3
-
Got back to devRant almost after a year today.
What's the new 'supporter' tag I've seen on some profiles?31 -
Nuclear controversy:
I like how devrant doesn't show the ranter's name in the feed, so that people can upvote in a more unbiased way, otherwise let's be honest girls will cause a rant points gender gap.
Every time I see a girl's profile badge, it has thousands of upvotes, I think some IT folks boot up a whole peep show in their head just out of seeing a female profile.
(don't take that seriously, it's just a funny thought, I don't think it's true, but it's worth the joke)5 -
The biggest flaw of devRant is down voting is not as simple as up voting. I need to specify the reason for down vote. And those reasons include repost and offensive. This is redundant as there is already an option to report once you open the post. Either make done voting an one click affair or make up voting two click process. There should be uniformity.7

Guide to dev rant:
Bad memes
Job interview fails
Rants about js
Posts complaining about devrant
Devrant probe finished: no other content4 -
please , the guys responsible for developing devrant should implement Ctrl + Enter to post a rant. I am so lazy using my mouse at times.4
-
i don't know about you...but each time Devrant takes longer to load i see a weenie with 2 small balls
4 -
if you're gonna shitpost in devrant, make sure to tag as shitpost.
I like shitposts as long as they are acknowledged as such. The problem ones are unironical shitposts.
These lazy ass posts that seem to be written by someone bored in a commute are liquefying my shit.
I'm referring to 2 line posts like "it's hot in here" or "x broke today" with no development whatsoever.
Like people think this is Shitter or something and they can just spam shit about every mundane detail of their day to day.
That's chit chat, nothing wrong with that, but you don't chit chat in a forum, you dm your buddies.5 -
Seriously need three screens at work.
The third screen's sole purpose will be to have devrant open so I don't get bored.1 -
It would be great if devRant app maintains its state when the app was closed and takes me directly to the last rant I was watching when I reopen , instead taking to the latest post...2
-
Would you rather get a sticker for free or help DevRant and buying in there store?
Personally I would rather help18 -
There is no one who can relate to me around our area. Even my friends are non-dev. It's frustrating. Thanks devRant for existing.
-
Switched from Skype to Slack for internal team communication...
Wish we could use devRant someday.. 💬1 -
It’s amazing when people come in for an interview and say, ‘Can you tell me about your business?’ Seriously, people. There’s an Internet. Look it up.6
-
!rant
When did you guys join devRant?
I can't believe in just 6 months, it's important part of my daily life and the community has grown so much.
I joined on 6/23/20165 -
Thinking about how I found devrant. The only thing I can remember is, it was the only result Google found for a search. Feeling like Neo xD6
-
Do you have a listing of the devRant open source projects - devRant slack bot, analyzer...?
Thanks1 -
has anyone noticed the guy in devRant splash screen is sitting with a mac and an iphone ( 4 probably)?2
-
Guys, check the Decreased Productivity app from chrome store. It helped me to browse Devrant in my work. It removes all the images and colors. You can still see images if you hover over them.
Not like I want to stay in Devrant all day, but it's less distracting -
!rant
TIL I can help support devRant for less than the cost of a coffee per month. (And you can too, if you're not already) I'm digging the edit time extension and the ++ tag in threads.
Cheers, dfox and trogus!2 -
Mentoring and encouragement is one distinct difference between a leader and a 10x developer. If your crucifying people on devrant for learning new things, I would hate to see the knowledge nazi you are in the office.
With that, devrants become a place of a pretentious, stuck up breed of developers that suck the joy out of the best part of the job which is learning.
It’s not any one person‘s fault, it’s just the way SM platforms with a specific niche and lifespan become.8 -
Okay don’t give me shit for using iOS but devRant crashes atleast twice on me everyday.
I realise it’s very difficult to debug these since they’re random but is there an automatic report sent to the devs in the event of a crash ?
That would help fix the issue. If there isn’t, perhaps they should consider adding such a function ?21 -
Can you, devrant, create function, which allows us to upload our IDE theme and use it as our devrant theme.2
-
Dear devRant, "Remember Me" means, keep me logged in for longer than the lifetime of this tab. Or is that checkbox decorative?
(Yes, I also use the app)2 -
Devrant app getting really slow in terms of loading. Content opens after 3 - 4 trials of restarting the app. Otherwise just connectivity issue or blank screen(with no loading). Anyone else facing it?14
-
I got a question about the devrant api.
I’m trying to query the 1000 most recent rants with the /rants endpoint. Trying to get 50 rants per request.
After about 550 rants queried, the api response starts being essentially empty, but the success flag is set to true.
Am I running into some underlying limit preventing me from viewing more rants?7 -
Just found out that at least three other people in my tutorial (six people total) are also on devRant. Seems to be quite popular here :D1
-
Nice that devRant looks better on the iPhone X now, but I think there should be some padding at the bottom, so that stuff doesn’t get too close to the home bar thingy
7 -
Has there been any luck in implement the “blocking” feature devRant?
Is the ability to block specific users from commenting on your posts still in the development pipeline?6 -
!feature so i didnt found facial hair of needed lenght on devrant. avatars need more longer beards.2
-
Mr.dfox, you should consider making devRant open source, you have a community full of devlopers after all.5
-
Replace "Check out this devRant" with the first line when sharing.
I have saved a lot of rants but they have the same title and it is hard to see which is which. I suggest to replace that with the first line or first sentence. -
just rates devrant on google play and was surprised to see that few devranters behaved like QA team, finding bugs in devrant and gave as low as one star.3
-
Oh hey, I missed my devRant cake day. And I don't know when it actually was because it displays as 1/2/2019, so it could be January 2nd or February 1st. Can we have a proper date format?6
-
Does the login save checkmark not work for anybody else on the web devrant? Like I always have to re-login, tried it on multiple webbrowsers too and even in a fresh VM image.1
-
I can't seem to purchase devRant++ anymore. Everytime I hit "subscribe now" a message pops up saying thank you for supporting devRant, but nothing changes. I'm not listed as a supporter, I don't have the supporter badge, and my card isn't charged. What's going on? @trogus @dfox3
-
Does DevRant have a Private Messaging feature?
Or I'm just looking for some figment of my imagination?5 -
Why When I use devRant API, it works perfectly on insomnia but not in Postman !!
Did anyone faced this?
I wrote js client (React Native) and it's giving same results of Postman3 -
Why devrant icon, background etc. is ":/" ? I mean I feel like it's a little bit miserable lol. Any thoughts on that ? :/7
-
What's up with the scrolling on Devrant? Or rather, the lack thereof. I keep being sent back to the top of the page.
-
Is it me or images are not preloading on devrant? I have them enabled in settings but most images don't load unless I open them. Really annoying. Using android.2

Rant about devRant on devRant:
The about user section just leaves the view when you scroll down and never comes back when you scroll up! Rant! rant! Rant!!

Infinite loop definition: when you post on devRant the stickers you received from devRant and you get upvotes, so you can request more swag from devRant that you then post again on devRant.
