A devRant Update!

Hey everyone,

We thought now would be a great time for a devRant summer update on what we've added recently and what we've been working on.

Highlights since our last update:

- We launched devRant++, a supporter program for people who want to help us cover our costs while getting some cool extra features (a supporter badge on rants/comments/profile, reserved spot on our in-app supporter list, ability to edit rants/comments for up to 30 minutes instead of 5, and thanks to immediate user feedback, we also added the ability to post a rant every 1 hour instead of 2, and post comments that are up to 2,000 characters instead of 1,000!) We are extremely happy and thankful for the great response the program has gotten and we plan to continue to improve it using your feedback.

- We added the ability to subscribe to a user's rants. This makes it so you get a notification whenever that user posts a new rant!

- We added an "active discussions" feature (available in the "more" tab on the right). If you're looking to join a conversation happening in the moment, then this feature will help you discover those rants. It shows rants that have recently been commented on so if it's a topic that interests you, you can easily get in on the discussion!

Some stuff we have in the pipeline:

- More fun avatar stuff, including fun new OS/language-themed pets
- More perks for the devRant++ subscriber program - if you have anything you'd like to see, please let us know and we will try to make it happen!
- We will be testing some stuff to help classify rant types (rants, jokes, questions, etc.) in order to create a more personalized experience
- On that note, we're also going to take some more time to do some work on the algo as we haven't done much in terms of improvement since the initial smart algo launched
- Community projects page update - we've been slacking on updating the page and apologize for that. If you have created a devRant-related project and it's not on the community page, please resend it to david@hexicallabs.com (even if you sent it already) so we can make sure it gets added. Sorry about that!

A note on community etiquite regarding voting on content:

We've always believed that one of the most important and awesome experiences on devRant is getting your content noticed and appreciated by others. If you enjoy a piece of content, you should upvote it. If you enjoy 500 pieces of content, you should upvote them all. People really appreciate others enjoying their rants and comments so let them know if you do! If you don't like content, you can downvote it with the relevant reason. What we don't encourage is voting on content that you haven't actually looked at or spamming upvotes in mass for content you're not even actually reading/viewing. While we don't encourage that, it's not explicitly disallowed so we won't impose any penalty for it.

What is strictly prohibited and enforced is using scripts or automated procedures for voting on content. Anyone who is caught doing that will have their account deleted without warning. While very rare, we caught a couple of people doing that this week and both accounts in question were immediately deleted once discovered. To be clear, this is the practice of explicitly using a script or automation to mass vote on content. You will NEVER be banned/deleted for voting on a lot of content manually, even if you vote quickly and on lots of stuff. We just want to make that clear becuase this is not meant to discourage people from voting, it is only regarding votes not placed by humans. So if you're a human voting on content, you have nothing to worry about, we promise!

Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions or feedback on any of this. We love constructive feedback and in the past it has gone a very long way to improving and advancing the devRant community. And as always, thank you to everyone who contributed to the community in any way, we really appreciate it and want to keep making your experienfce better.

Happy ranting,
~David and Tim (Team devRant)

- Be a Devrant lurker.

- Desperately want that cool profile picture
- Need rant for points.

Why is my appreciation through upvotes not enough? -_-

Hey everyone! As most of you probably already know, months back we added the ability to change your username on devRant (every 6 months, via settings). We've had some people recently express a desire to change their username again, beforr that period, for whatever reason.

I just reset the 6 month period for everyone, so if you had changed your username previously, you can now change it again.

Please keep in mind that when you change your username, any @mentions of you in comments no longer link to your profile.

If you have any questions, feel free to let me know!

Roommate: I thought you aren't into social media...

Me: This is devRant, it's different.

Roommate: How so.

Me: It's for like minds, very well structured and has this fun feature which let's me create myself as a cartoon for my profile pic.

Next Day..........…......……

Me: (walks into the room) Why are you laughing and why are you using my phone.

Roommate: I THINK I LOVE THIS APP. I might actually download it.

Note: Roommate is a musician who studied CS in school.

A story of love, loss, and devRant.

My favorite sunglasses were a victim of hurricane Irma. They were sitting on the park bench when a powerful gust of wind blew them onto the cement floor, where both lenses were fucked right where I look out of them. I bought these sunglasses at Disney with my family and have not stopped wearing them since. I was pretty upset.

Enter devRant. Sad and without sunglasses, I hoped that virtual ones might suffice. Lo and fucking behold, in the profile editor, there they were: my exact sunglasses, even with the choice between silver and gold. Absolutely fucking perfect. Made my day.

!$rant

Made this last night :) it pulls all my profile info from devrant and my last three rants.

! rant
Just changed my profile pic on LinkedIn to show how proud iam to be a member of the devRant family

When you download devrant and you are told to put your skills in your profile

I know the basic html they teach you at w3schools. That's literally it

!rant
*opens devRant*
*checks the profile*
*sees an 8digit number in ++*
*HOLY SHIT DUDE, DID I CROSS linuxxx ?*
*checks his profile*
*sad realisation that ++ are now binary*

So DevRant asked me to put my skills on my profile, I'm like:

you wanna know my languages, well, I'm a human Android sipping on Java, got C++ grade phy-SQL education. but some idiot bashed me on my </head> so swift, that I objectively-c angular stars, everywhere. Recoved by a js injection. ASCII too in snowy Cs

Interviewer: So, we were researching you online and came across your devRant profile.

Me: Ok, I'll see myself out. Thanks.

I am waiting for the time when we will start linking our devRant profile on resume.

The facial hair devRant provides in it's profile builder are either well maintained thick growth of beard or a neatly trimmed uniform beard.
And here I am with my abomination of a beard that looks like a herd of cattle trampled over a sparse field of grass.

The struggle is real.

Coolest thing about platforms like devrant, is that it's so easy to get people to read what you have to say, and get them to notice you.

It doesn't matter if you have a nice profile picture, have a lot of friends/followers or anything like that.

The content is what matters.
Also, its not like everything here is developer related or is super nerdy, most of the stuff you see are normal things you'd expect people to post on things like Facebook when they want to be social and connect with people.

It's sad that this is not how most social media is done.

twitter: good job, let's promote your profile, but you have to pay us.
devrant: awesome job being involved, here some stickers!

found a much better community

Just sent my devRant profile link to my employer. They loved some of my memes, but generally they didn't care much.

Dreaded this moment for 1.5 years now, and now decided to come clean.

Did I know that an irrational fear about being fired over some memes was indeed irrational? Yes. Do I feel better now? Yes, hell yes!

To be completely honest with you, it was today's @scor interactions that finally empowered me to do it. A dumb fear of getting doxxed was with me way before @scor started attacking me, but now I ended it: my partners (I'm polyamorous) know about devRant, my friends, my ex-colleagues, and now my current employer knows it too. Everyone from my public life knows who I really am and what I really think.

Not as a step in a dumb “beef” that doesn't exist, not as a slide, not as an insult, I'm going to say THANK YOU, @scor, for finally pushing me over that tiny obstacle. One and a half year of annoying obscure itching is finally over.

WTF! So much struggle to set an avatar? I thought that's the most easy thing to do in profile creation...!!!

@devrant, see I have started already...😁😁😁

Just waiting for the day were a head hunter mail starts with: "We saw your profile on devRant and found it very interesting how you comment your daily anger while being a dev....."

Men of DevRant, do you think it's OK to try and pick up women on LinkedIn?

A guy, who claimed to see me on Bumble, message me on LinkedIn about "wanting to get to know me". My rarely used Bumble profile doesn't have my family name, nor my real job title or my workplace. Which means the dude also had to indulge in some high-level stalking to get to my LinkedIn profile.

I've seen some cute guys on LinkedIn, that if we had a pleasant interaction in a conference for example, I would totally ask them out. But it never crossed my mind to even try and chat them up on a professional platform.

Am I too conservative or is this just inappropriate?

Recruiters will be asking for devRant profile alongside the Github profile.

That moment when you try to create your devRant avatar and it says you need 10 points... 😑

So how old is devRant?

I saw the joined date on @dfox profile but didn't know if it's 1st of November or 11th of January.

If it's the second then I don't like the date format. 😁

!rant && Announcement

I am working on a DEVRANT TOOLBOX for the Firefox Desktop Browser.
It includes a dark mode and some new functions (autoreload, colored notifs, image preview on mouseover).
The Alpha version is finished.

As a first step I created an experimental version just for the dark mode (no other functions).
Its alpha and experimental, so I will not not published it.

I need some testers for it. My email is temporary available in my users profile for that.

Interviewer: *looking at my GitHub* do you use devrant?
Me: ...yes
Interviewer: ok, cool

I had an interview once where the dev interviewing me recognised that I had devrant avatar as my github profile picture.
Maybe that was one of the reasons they didn't get back to me after that interview? 🤔

I just tried to sign up to Instagram. I made a big mistake.

First up with Facebook related stuff is data. Data, data and more data. Initially when you sign up (with a new account, not login with Facebook) you're asked your real name, email address and phone number. And finally the username you'd like to have on the service. I gave them a phone number that I actually own, that is in my iPhone, my daily driver right now (and yes I have 3 Androids which all run custom ROMs, hold your keyboards). The email address is a usual for me, instagram at my domain. I am a postmaster after all, and my mail server is a catch-all one. For a setup like that, this is perfectly reasonable. And here it's no different, devrant at my domain. On Facebook even, I use fb at my domain. I'm sure you're starting to see a pattern here. And on Facebook the username, real name and email domain are actually the same.

So I signed up, with - as far as I'm aware - perfectly valid data. I submitted the data and was told that someone at Instagram will review the data within 24 hours. That's already pretty dystopian to me. It is now how you block bots. It is not how Facebook does it either, at least since last time I checked. But whatever. You'd imagine that regardless of the result, they'd let you know. Cool, you're in, or sorry, you're rejected and here's why. Nope.

Fast-forward to today when I recalled that I wanted to sign up to Instagram to see my girlfriend's pictures. So I opened Chromium again that I already use only for the rancid Facebook shit.. and it was rejected. Apparently the mere act of signing up is a Terms of Service violation. I have read them. I do not know which section I have violated with the heinous act of signing up. But I do have a hunch.

Many times now have I been told by ignorant organizations that I would be "stealing" their intellectual property, or business assets or whatever, just because I sent them an email from their name on my domain. It is fucking retarded. That is MY domain, not yours. Learn how email works before you go educate a postmaster. Always funny to tell them how that works. But I think that in this case, that is what happened.

So I appealed it, using a random link to something on Instagram's help section from a third-party blog. You know it's good when the third-party random blog is better. But I found the form and filled it in. Same shit all over again for info, prefilling be damned I guess. Minor convenience though, whatever.

I get sent an email in German, because apparently browsing through a VPS in Germany acting as a VPN means you're German. Whatever... After translating it, I found that it asks me to upload a picture of myself, holding a paper in my hands, on which I would have a confirmation code, my username, and my email address.. all hand-written. It must not be too dark, it must be clear, it must be in JPEG.. look, I just wanted to fucking sign up.

I sent them an email back asking them to fix all of this. While I was writing it and this rant, I thought to myself that they can shove that piece of paper up their ass. In fact I would gladly do it for them.

Long story short, do not use Instagram. And one final thing I have gripes with every time. You are not being told all the data you'll have to present from the get-go. You're not being told the process. Initially I thought it'd just be email, phone, username, and real name. Once signed up (instantly, not within 24 hours!) I would start setting up my account and adding a profile picture. The right way to ask for a picture of me! And just do it at my own pace, as I please.

And for God's sake, tackle abuse when it actually happens. You'll find out who's a bot and who isn't by their usage patterns soon enough. Do not do any of this at sign-up. Or hell, use a CAPTCHA or whatever, I don't fucking care. There's so many millions of ways to skin this cat.

Facebook and especially Instagram. Both of them are fucking retarded.

I've pretty much completed my profile here on devrant... I'm just 3000 or so away from my final item

I don't even know what it is exactly.

To the Tasker users here:
What are your profiles? Need some inspiration.

Mine:
- Turning off WiFi on missing WiFi connection (after 1min)
- Turning on WiFi when opening YouTube, DevRant etc.
- Sending a daily SMS to my gf to remind her to take the pill, a profile which she can turn on/off by sending me an SMS containing STOP/START :D

Devrant profile watches are waaaaay smaller than mine!
Hope they add larger watchas soon 😁

Welcome to devrant, we have:

- A tart giving emtional support
- A plane trying to get rejected by 1'000 Companies while constantly talking about shit.
- Transfemme shitposting
- A dude who will fill your entire comments section.
- A schizophrenic who technically does not exist.
- Someone unable to quit their job building a screwdriver.
- A girl building drones that will definitely come for you in the future.
- That one dude who got 1.5k ++ on his only rant and left.
- An entire profile description that is just a void.
- A café giving a ++ to literally anything

Got the new devRant update. All profile pics are now pixilated 🤘🤘

Thanks @dfox

Got my first Webdev job at a small marketing company, felt very lucky as I didn't have much experience. Turns out I'm the only one that could program. The other guys just use Wordpress. It felt wrong at first, using plugins instead of developing, but we got results and clients were happy. I felt like there was a lot less to this development thing than I'd previously thought! And so we continued.

But I noticed that some of our more plugin heavy sites (not made by me - these were made in some drag/drop Wordpress interface) were running slow. I mean 15 seconds load time slow. I joined devRant around the same time and discovered that no - this is not what normal development actually is. Wordpress seems universally hated. Thank god, because something seemed very wrong!

So with us getting complaints all over the place over page speed from relatively high-profile clients, I've gone and set up a script on a server that downloads the whole front end of these Wordpress sites and serves them up instead of the 'real' thing. Did I mention that there's basically no dynamic content on most of these sites? It works like a charm! I'm now trying to figure out how to get forms and route them into the real, hidden version of the site, as well as automatically updating the html views whenever the client changes anything in the Wordpress backend. Not sure if this has fixed the problem or just enabled bad practice, but I don't think I'm going to be able to stop the others from doing things this way...

For the record, yes there are plugins that do similar stuff but I thought it'd be nice to never use plugins again! And hey, I got to learn all about bash scripting so I can't complain.

For real though, I didn't quite realise how bad the Wordpress thing really was until I came here. Thanks for making me aware, all!

@trogus it would be pretty rad to have an avatar option that would add a devRant sticker to a laptop.

btw: I love the Rubik's cube chillin with the rubber ducking debugger.

!rant
<confession>
Ever since I've discovered devRant, I use my avatar as profile picture on other sites as well.
</confession>

Looks great. That's all now set for my WhatsApp profile pic no more hassle on that. Thanks devRant for the awesome avarter.

Other people:
- I got 20k upvoted post on 9gag
- I got 25k over like on my fb profile picture
Me:
- I got 200 over ++ on devrant :D

So with the GitHub thing confirmed, should devRant profile add a field for GitLab ID instead? 😁

We need more cool stuff to put in our profile pic
Like chainsaw our skull on the desk
Shotgun lying on the ground
Quad-copper hovering on top
Controller cars
...
You know what I mean

- Created an account on devRant. Need 10 +1s to create an avatar.
- Got >10 +1s for the 1st rant. Yay!
- Spent ~30 minutes building a custom avatar. Not satisfied.
- Went back to select one of the pre-made avatars.
- Realized pre-made avatars list gets updated everytime you open.
- Closed & opened the profile page for 10 times. Still couldn't stick with an avatar.
- Back to avatarless. 😎😎

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)

I’m currently working on the profile view in JoyRant, which turns out to be much more work than I thought.

Anyway, after many iterations on the appearance, I’m now finally satisfied about how it looks and works. Especially the category picker (Rants, ++’s, Comments, Favorites).

What do you think? Do you like it?

I am wondering what would it take to remove the spam / bot accounts out of devRant. Just recently seen quite a lot of them. If we collectively report their profile, would @dfox remove them ?

E.g. @chaosesqueteam

Just noticed that it's possible to get a negative vote count on a devRant profile. So I'm wondering if it's possible to underflow the vote count? @dfox

Fucking finaly I'm back on devRant after my phone decided to die during the weekend. But why the fuck do I get a light theme again? @dfox, could you save the preferences in the profile? Or at least display the options on first start? :*

Made an app for college tech fest. Used devRant profile image as one of the event.

I think it is so sad you can't use your devRant icon on other sites. I know you could download them but the whole point is anonymous ranting so if someone know your picture they know who you are. I love the devRant icons <3

DevRant doesn't let you choose the protocol for your website. Seeing http:// on my profile makes me feel insecure.

!rant
Hmm... so I was thinking...
What if devRant implemented a feature that lets you get rants into some kind of list, accessible via your profile? Kind of like the "Watch later" list on YouTube, or playlists. I know we have a "Favourites" list of rants, already, on devRant, but being organized about this might be a good idea.

What do you think?

DevRant android app.
Profile page - once scrolled down couldn't scroll back to profile view(top).

I wanted to rant like 10 times today but was on a tight schedule (yes its fucking sunday), so here is everything:

*********
Fuck you, i dont give a shit that you need to present data tomorrow, its weekend, you cant just fucking call me to get things done asap. Im working from the code of a dead guy do you know how fucking hard it is to ask a dead person whats their code do?

*********

I really wish devrant had some kinda longboard/skateboard in the profile pic

*********

Im still not a fucking designer i can make like does-not-make-you-barf tier designs, JUST TELL ME WHAT TO FUCKING CODE JESUS

*********

whys the new rick n morty episode not out yet wtf

*********

Yo i love linux but set the fucking privileges right you dipshit, i cant exrcute my damn code on your crappy ass 2008 xeon server fuck you

The weird moment when you realise you like your devRant avatar way more than your facebook profile pic.

Hello there I am back again.

I deleted my account (doh) because I was in a moment where I wanted to eliminate all my accounts and sadly I removed this one too.
So I lost all my points..

By the way I am here again eady for listening new rants.

PS: For the admins even if my devrant profile is deleted google still tracks my old rants.. Can you do something about it?

"so what's the difference? there are groups and communities for devs, why devRant ?" It was my colleague's question and I was about to loose the debate between this and other social n/w.
I said "look man the greatest thing is you can build a DP that looks like a geek programmer, whatever you look like in real time doesn't even matter."
And he said "Let me see your profile."

This confuses me every time: Am I blind or isn't there an option for viewing a website on a devRant profile via devRant-Web?

Please add a crying emotion in profile in the profile editor.

@dfox @trogus: feature request: is there anyway to store on my profile a list of recently viewed rants? It can be for private use only.

There have been a bunch of times that I will be viewing a rant, go into safari to grab a link or find a photo, just to go back to devRant and iOS has reset the app and I can't find what that rant I was looking at. It's really frustrating.

I know getting iOS to keep the app state may be difficult but storing a list of recently viewed rants, while not the simplest, I would think is straight forward.

!rant
Bug (or feature ?) report
I don't know if it's a bug, a feature, and something that just happens to me.. When I view someone's profile and I want to scroll down to see the rants, the "first scroll" stops at the end of the profile. Then I can scroll down more. And after, if I want to see the profile again I can't scroll up. I ended up finding out that tapping the username lets us see the profile again. I'd like to point this out because the behavior seems kinda weird to me, I don't know what others think about it

We got a relatively cheap logic analyzer (we is me and my dad) and we tried finding the drivers for it.

Their website was a dead-end and it didn’t come with any disk or something. Somehow, Seleae’s website had a suitable driver, and it is completely unrelated to the product we bought.

(Seleae is a company that sells god-tier logic analyzers)

WHAT THE FUCK, SPARKFUN?!

Also, regarding the devRant rewrite project I am currently searching for some nice (and practical at the same time) design for the profile view.

Is it a bug ,if you have the hairstyles which I have kept on my avatar, you can't have facial hair? Really devRant? I'm the living example and I have both

I just wanted a pet for my DEVrant profile 🤣🤣🤣

Today I have seen of @Microsoft, @linuxxx devrant profile.

How should I search devs profile in devrant? when I had entered dev name with @, mostly rants were came of that tag name.

1. Set your devRant profile picture as your Gravatar
2. Profit!

From today, I'm gonna post infrequent-devLogs of the project i am currently doing, I have been thinking about it the past couple of months, and I am finally moving it into action!

I wish writing devLogs will make me to finish the project, at least a working prototype.

It is a C# block coding application that is made in 100% C# that generates human-readable C# code for C# begineers.

If you want to follow me along, make sure to subscribe to my rants by going to my Profile (cozyplanes) > More icon in top right > Subscribe

All devLogs posted directly via devRant API integration from CZedit, a simple edit program for geeks

=========================

devLog #0 - Block coding in C#

Done:
- Made the console output to redirect to textbox
- Ability to save output to external storage

WIP:
Compile C# code directly at runtime with Roslyn

Notes:
open-source??

Rejection 5 / 1000 of my 1000 job applications TikTok journey

I have rejection 6 ready but cant post more than 1 image at a time on devrant. Rejection 6 is the same company from rejection 4! They fucking rejected me TWICE. Because i asked them to tell ME out of ALL the positions they have available -- NOT A SINGLE ONE FITS MY PROFILE. DO THEY NOT CARE THAT I HAVE A COMPUTER SCIENCE DEGREE????????????????

#justAthought

I was reading about public and private keys yesterday, and i had a thought: don't you think the concept of "username" is being so badly misused?

It can act as a great firewall, but we are just misusing it as an alternative to "login via email", because we are now so dumb to remember our email.
You might think of my rant as being going back in time, but think about this: my profile shows the name titanlannister. if someone got access to my password, he/she can immediately take over my complete identity because devrant allows us to login via username/password combo.

Now think of this: my username shows titanlannister. Anyone of you can write a post and mention me via @titanlannister, and this system will notify me. However even if you get my password, you are unable to hack into my profile, because my profile is only accessible via my email id/password combo, which you still don't know.

This, I would call as Platform Public Key which adds a kind of semi firewall over default public/private key combination .

What do you think?

I LOVE my profile image so much! It's exactly the way I wanted it to be.

!rant

Hello devRant, finally got around to create a profile after thoroughly enjoying it for some time here.

Suggestions @dfox :
What about profile achievements?
10/100/1000 total +1s
Invent a new metric unit: rants/week
Can @localhost get a gold star or something on his profile for first to 1000?
Silver stars for people who gave an idea that was impliemented
Bronze star for people who have gotten a stress ball

I'm half working on this project, half thinking of DevRant... It's Friday!

Are we alright to use the profile pictures generated by devRant on other websites? Really love the style :)

Hello. I am new to devRant. Like it so far, but how do you get one of those profile pics everyone has of a cartoon person?

Finally I updated my profile on devrant , Next step to update it on google or gavtars because it shows picture when I was a kid.

- Bug-Report -
Description:
If you go to the comments section on your profile and click on an comment you made to a collab, devRant will load it as a normal rant instead of a collab and, therefore, nothing is shown.

Device Details:
- Device: Phone
- Android Version: 6.0

devRant Version:
1.9.0.3

Steps to reproduce:
- Write a comment to a collab
- Go to Profile -> Comments
- Click on that comment
- It will load it as a normal rant (See image)

Actual behaviour:
Show as normal rant

Expected behaviour:
Show as collab

I hope you can reproduce...

@dfox, @trogus

My profile on sololearn. Anyone else has It?

When I finish Watching devrant, I go to sololearn. When I get tired of sololearn, come back to devrant :/

Just realised that there is a dual monitor setup for the devRant profile. Also realised that is 5k ++, as well as that I won't have it for a while 😅

Thank you theabbie for giving your location on your devrant profile. Some devranter might be able yto meet you though it will certainly be mot me unless that is a joke. Inputting the location writen in the brackets gives a location somehwere is navi mumbai

TLDR: I wanted to change email to new one, but I could not remember which one I have
currently. I found out an API in DevRant JS files for email verification and used
it to find it out.

So, I am moving from Gmail to Protonmail Pro, absolutely love their service.
I wanted to do same on Devrant but I could not figure out my current mail for
"I lost my password" form. My Password Manager have only login saved, and profile does
not show email address.

I thought that this user information is stored on server so it have to be some way to retrieve it. I dug
in source code and I've found:

`<div class="signup-title">Verify Your Email</div>`

Which has event assigned to function which uses jQuery.ajax (love it btw :D) to call:

`url: "/api/users/me/resend-confirm",`

This seems like worth a shot. Few copy-pastes and one ajax call later:

*Ding*

From: support@devrant.io
To: dawid@dawidgoslawski.pl
"Welcome to Devrant"

Got it :) So I have already changed in march when DevRant on previous layout.

This is what I love in this profession - problem solving. AI will not replace human
in any way, we will just stop coding array iterations and data manipulation - we will focus
on real problem solving and human touch (like design, convincing management for changes).

Is there a way to change nickname on DevRant? I'm starting to look for a job and I would prefer my DevRant profile not appearing so high when searching for my name.

devRant should add pets to be eligible in the profile builder

So the avatars of people never load in my devRant app. Except for the user profile screen. Post and comment screens just show Colors circlez. I’m curious. (Yeah my app is updated to latest version)

For the profile image, DevRant should add the Pewdiepie chair, only 399

You probably not believe that I got this devrant link from my wife and... I registered. then I found what the hack I had to earn10 rants to make my profile pic. what the stupid rant is?

After a year-long (or something idk) hiatus, I have returned to devRant! Dusted off the old profile (and updated a bunch of outdated info). I never realized how much I missed this place. Great to be back!

I'm not sure where I'm going with this.

Writing open source can be so sad sometimes.

I would like to think of the internet as a place where people can find people, where everyone counts, but that can't be farther from the truth.

When I check a user's profile in devrant and see that they have a github profile, that's an immediate click for me.

But it usually comes with the sad realization that they have dozens of starless projects.

Many stars are not a guarantee of a good project, but 0-3 stars definitely means no one gives two shit about that (except maybe a couple of friends).

I'm totally ignorant when it comes to networking, and presenting a project you've done to communities of said language.

In fact, I tend to dislike communities because there's a lot of assholes in a lot of them, and sometimes, assholes that have more time in a community tend to be taken more seriously when disputes happen.

So I tried to stay away of them so far, but maybe I should engage and just call people on their shit regardless of the danger of getting banned, until I find that community where people are the least assholish.

Even then, I distrust the success rate of that, because I imagine there's a lot of devs out there, so when you join a community, what you notice is that there's a lot of noise so you end up becoming invisible because of that noise.

I'm not even sure of any of the things I'm saying here...

We should start giving devRant profile link in Resume/CV lmao.
Hope that will be a new trend haha.

Why don't new devrant users have an actual logo of devrant as a profile picture instead of that ugly puke-green background?

So I'm here after a long break coz my life is shit all over again, and only devRant allows me to rant officially.

I was selected by a recruiter visiting our college in very early days of the campus placements, September last year,

Problem 1:
I wasn't allowed to sit in any of the other recruitment drives by the college, even when I didn't really like the job profile I was in

Problem 2:
The company is taking 12 tests and wants me to work on 3 Projects of bootstrap, rails, and react each, before they give me joining.

Here I am working like an asshole with all frustrations after my college got over to finish the tasks without a penny.

This frustration is only causing more and more delay in my work.

I updated my profile for the first time in ages, the devrant profile

Where the heck can I change my password on devrant? Cant find the option to do so on my profile.

I just noticed that when you open up your profile on devRant you don't see your username.

Do other ranters / devRanters / members of this community share or publicise their devRant profile or devRant in general on their personal site or blog?

I was thinking of adding something to my site but not sure what to do?

Umm ok devRant!!!
Frist when I saw that on someone's profile, I was like, man they are god damn great!!
But then I saw them on some more profiles and thought I might be a bug, only to realise that its 1st of April!!

PS: look at the number of ++s;

The infinite profile view is coming along nicely! Right now, I am still building the infinite scroll view but it shouldn’t take long. When I’m done with that, I’m starting to implement minimum functionality. Then, the avatar editor.

Hey devRant, is it a feature or a bug that you can't see your oldest rants on your profile? I feel like that's where most of the original/rawest rants are. Please don't let them disappear into the big internet void.

@dfox @trogus, could you add more profile backgrounds?

If so, a gray one would be nice for me.

Perhaps letting users upload pictures for their profile could add more customisability (for the background I mean, love the avatars).

suggestion for devRant

I'm posting them here so if others want they can flame me as they see fit.

- Please add the ability to customize which notifications to get and which rants to watch.

- Please move around options in profile and settings and for the love of God move the delete profile button. It's just behind the settings button so if you press settings and click again there's a chance you have clicked the delete button.

- Some of the app is using JS for navigation and other parts don't. Pagination can be done with JS. Seeing notifications too.

- I get that the app is designed this way to be displayed on mobile but for someone like me who uses the web app the small editor and it's huge font size and the big plus button are really annoying.

I love this place. I hope it gets better.

Is there any way to view my devRant post and comment history beyond the 25 last items?

The comment page on my profile only shows the 25 last comments, and nothing loads at the bottom. How to view anything older than that?

feature request / suggestion / wish:

i would love to "reblog" posts, or any other way they will be visible in my profile ("mark as favorite", "star"...).

the idea behind it is to have a nice little collection of posts i want to keep available to me.

i even have a suggestion for naming the action: "inherit post" ;)

hopefully i did not just miss an already implemented feature :P

Why the limitation to only see 30 +1 posts listed via a profile while using devRant on a desktop @dfox?

Trying to figure out how others have profile pics on devRant while i can't seem to figure out how it's done

Does DEVRANT posts/user profile crawled by google?

Amazing, I found someones old devrant profile back accidentally that I used to play video games with. Time to send them a random discord message with a picture of their old laptop :D

If I press the attach image dialogue in the devRant android app, then don't select anything and back out instead, the app shits itself. Takes ages to respond, I usually just go to the task switcher and dismiss the task and open the app again.

Anyone else?

s10, android 11.

And if so, could someone else raise an issue on github? I don't want to associate this profile with anything that's demonstrably me.

You keeping your devRant profile background yellow color is basically, you screaming "I'm gay" at the top of your lungs here.

How to write a great resume and Linkedin when im playing 3 roles at my current job?

Iwear many hats right now on my Job (you can check my LinkedIn, the link is on my devRant profile).

Right now im looking forward change job in 3 months or so, mostly due to non flexible working hours and somewhat toxic environment.

The problem im facing right now, id how to put all the stuff im doing right now in my profile without it sounding crazy or something like that.

I also see companies open positions for very specific roles, so i dont know how write a resume to apply to a job without excluding half of my skills from it to looks "specialized".

Other factor is that i really have fun doing diverse things on my Job, it is boring for me do a single thing for months.

How can i include everything i know in my resume? or what job title can resume all my expertise?

Thanks guys!

PD: If you are in an small startup, and trive working with people that wear many hats, contact me on LinkedIn! i can consider your offer
