EDIT: devRant April Fools joke (2017)
-------------------------
@trogus and I have had an absolute blast working on devRant over the last year. However, we're strong believers in only working on a project if you're passionate about it, and over the last few months, we've sadly lost some of that passion so we've to announce, with heavy hearts, that we will both be moving on. We've decided to focus 100% of our energies on our next product, one which we are confident has billion dollar potential: Semicolon JS (http://semicolonjs.com).
We identified this sizable market opportunity as we were building out the new devRant website. Every JavaScript framework we tried left us wanting more. More efficiency. More elegance. More extensibility. That's what Semicolon JS is: more. More than a framework, it's a guiding philosophy. We believe that Semicolon JS will do for front end development what Material Design has done for user interface design. We're calling it Semicolon JS because even though you can still develop JavaScript without it, like a semicolon, we think it will soon become a standard and synonymous with quality JS development.
So comes the obvious question. What will happen to devRant? We wanted to make the announcement today because we will be officially shutting down the product in 30 days. So that gives everyone a full month to take in the last memories, look at those rants they really loved, and hopefully take some time to chat with @trogus and I about Semicolon JS and what we have planned.
With so many thanks and looking towards the future,
- @dfox and @trogus

Normal devRant user:
- Look, the algo it's awesome, it matches similar content posts, it's so funny!
Meanwhile at devRant Headquarters:
trogus: When are you telling them?
dfox: Ignorance is bliss, my friend
trogus: Well, at least we know the random number generator it's not coded by Sony though, otherwise they would suspect10 -
Just an observation. Researched this a bit and found out that usually people only thank dfox when posting swag thanks posts.
Just wanted to demand some justice for mr trogus who is the designer of said swag and give due appreciation!
Lets @trogus some to deliver the appreciation.47 -
When you're so exited that you forget you have a name.
And thanks for the stickers senpai @dfox and @trogus.

devRant - a reminder that a small team can do something really big. That keeps me motivated, thank you @dfox and @trogus

I would ike to be @dfox or @trogus. In any job interview just drop the phrase...
I founded devrant...
Hired 😁6 -
Yo dfox and trogus how are you doing? What's happening around devRant? Any new ideas, changes or troubles? Anything we can help you? How's the situation with the server costs? 🙂
congratulations and thank you for more than 2 years of devrant! 🎉18 -
For the new episode of the devRant Podcast we're working on, we'd like to take questions for a new Q + A segment we're going to try. So if you have any questions you'd like me (dfox) or trogus to answer, ask it in a comment here. They can be about devRant, us, life, anything really! We'll
pick our favorites and answer them in the episode.16 -
So when @dfox and @trogus cross 500++ on their rants, do they just take a stressball for themselves or go through the emailing procedure ?
Asking for a friend...6 -

Thank you so much for the goodies @dfox and @trogus
Now the duck can swear at me with it's high pitch noise when I am unproductive 😃

Despite having a chance of being jobless for a bit I thought I'd show my support because devrant is awesome

So
I wrote a song
About devRant
Don't judge me
To the tune of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"
dfox and trogus
Had a very good idea
They worked on it
And out popped devRant
Then one foggy Friday night
They published it
It was an instant hit
Devs everywhere rejoyced
Now the devs love them
As they type out their rants
dfox and trogus
You'll go down in dev history!
(Like Linus Torvalds!)7 -
Worth the wait. Thanks devRant. Thanks @dfox and @trogus.
The stickers travelled a long distance to reach here in India. 😄

I didn't redeem my stressball because I felt bad for dfox and trogus having to pay extra for shipping. Is there any way to redeem my stressball while still paying shipping? ❤ (I wanna order some other stuff too)8
-
!rant && awesome
The blackest black theme is awesome!
Thanks @trogus and @dfox for this great update! 😎
Now back to work...4 -
@dfox and @trogus , thank you for making this project.
You have saved a lot of pens i break in my office .
#rantingHelps7 -
I await the day, when @dfox and @trogus hire someone. There will be some pretty huge competition among us devranters.5
-
So a friend says @trogus has a similar with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, what do you think?

Thank you @dfox and @trogus for the awesome service you've built! And thank you for making my life less stressful! :)

@dfox @trogus How about a !rant option to automatically inform users that the rant isn't really a rant?7
-
I'm proud to be part of this community ;)
Thanks for the swag stickers.
My laptop is waaaaay cooler now!

This is random stuff.
I wonder what would happen if an innocent new user unknowingly reports a rant written by @dfox or by @trogus themselves.🤔
Maybe a beautiful post or maybe a nice email like
"Dear @... you might not have realized but @trogus and @dfox are the creators of devRant"3 -
This is for tim rogus. Dfox gets a lot of mentions, but that doesn't mean we don't thank you too, @trogus! THANKS!1
-
So many stickers so little space..
But there is always place for devRant :D
Thanks @dfox and @trogus
7 -
dfox and trogus are devrant++ users but there names are not listed in devrant++ supporters list..
You both missed to add your names.. or took the privilege of being the founders and developers..5 -
When I use devRant in the browser, want to post a comment and click right next to the post button accidently, the comment text field thingy is empty after re-clicking the 'add comment' button. Annoying as hell when you just wrote a 800 character comment! @dfox @trogus5
-
@dfox, @trogus Hey! I'm logged in, but whenever i click 'visit store', it shows this modal for me to login again.

Welp, talk about good timing. Got my stickers today, good start already to the new year. Thanks @dfox and @trogus

!dev
@dfox and @trogus I have to say I'm very impressed with the quality of the stickers I got back in October. They have been enduring near daily use from taking my laptop in and out of my backpack to dealing with my sweaty palms on the keyboard deck. No discoloration at all.
Appreciate you guys and this platform you are cultivating! Thanks again.

Lots of questions going on about devRant. Just want to make devRant better.
1. Please tell the update intervals of upvotes and downvotes. Is there a delay? Doesnt really matter but i see many times i got a upvote notif but my score didnt increased...
2. Duplicate image algo is so poor. I know it is only in beta, but i see so many reposts which has the same pic but only with the resolution different or the image with the devrant watermark.
3. Minor, tags should be also saved when exitting the post rant activity.
4. Feature request : go to top, bottom in rant
5. Please make web app accessible in mobile. I think you check the user agent for the web app, but can you make it available to mobile users who cant download the app?
6. When accessing the web app in mobile, i type devrant.io/feed
Then, by the wonderful intent you made, it opens the app automatically. I was writing a rant, but it was all deleted.
7. Any new podcasts and cartoons planned?
8. Still bug not fixed.
Write a comment in a long rant.
Delete the comment you just wrote.
You cant reply to the last person comment.
Thanks.6 -
@trogus are you responsible for designing all these cool avatars?!? they are so simple and sleek and AWESOME how did you do it what do you use?4
-
"These are my stickers. There are many like it, but these one are mine"
Thank you @dfox and @trogus :D

OMG!!! Arrived right before thanks giving!!! Can't thanks @dfox and @trogus enough for the awesome #devrantapp stickers!!!
1 -
Shouldn't the hoodie only be available to those who actually bought it? Would make it feel more exclusive :)3
-
Analog mail still works!
Stickers finally arrived! Thanks @dfox and @trogus for this amazing community !
1 -
DevRant just lacks of a section for Q/A similiar to StackOverflow. Guys the here are really kind and nice!!4
-
I'm using my devrant avatar for some UI testing :P , thanks @trogus and @dfox
(no production and plagiarism intended) -
!Rant
I was just listening to a podcast and they mentioned patreon. Not sure if you two, @dfox and @trogus, thought about creating a patreon page. I would definitely support you guys for the work and time you two put into devrant. Would be awesome to have some method to tip you guys some dollar for a tea ;)1 -
devRant reached the Philippines! Thank you @dfox and @trogus for this treat. Greatly appreciated!
ps. i named her devi (Hahaha)

Is it just me or I think colabs should have a little badge if there are new once since last checked. Would help draw attention to it :)4
-
@dfox @trogus : Do we have a feature of auto complete @ mentions ? If not, there can be an elegant feature to provide drop down suggestions to mention / tag user in comments after we type @ in comments of any rant ( not all the users , but author of the rant and those who previously commented on that particular rant previously. For example, if I commented on a rant of dfox, and trogus also comments and types @, me and dfox will be in the drop down, tapping on which will select and tag that user on that comment ). I bet users will love this devRant update. Sorry for long post , I don't have any potato :p3

MSG for dfox and trogus
Hey guys, have you seen my bug reports?
For all the others.. Do you have a bug where your app crashes when uploading a IMG from Android or is it just me?9 -
!rant
Improvements for devRant
Add markdown support.
Change ++ -- button's color. (they look like they are disabled)
More probably coming soon
@dfox @trogus3 -
@dfox @trogus
Why is it that after scrolling down on my profile page I can no longer properly scroll up? The view gets sort of "stuck" (sorry, no Android dev here).8 -
Love the new classifications of posts! Its gonna be easier for everyone now! Thanks @dfox and @trogus. Its an awesome community.
-
We can now download our avatars! Thanks @dfox and @trogus!
Am I internet explorer, or just late to the party?1 -
Bugreport @dfox or @trogus
On the Android app, comment a rant and remove it (modify -> delete). After that the last comment before your's will go all the way to the bottom, instead of having a "spacer" for the social buttons.
Can anyone confirm it?10 -
Hello. I suppose I didn't really see anyone ask @dfox or @trogus how it's going without mentioning devRant itself. So, I'm going to do it... How is it going?10
-
TIL trogus registered the subreddit devRant, but it has no posts and is locked. Anyone know what the story here is?1
-
The new devRant UI is pretty cool and also love the new features in the app.
Good job dfox and trogus.18 -
@trogus, I need a Hawaiian shirt. My company is going to start serving Hawaii in 2018. A Hawaiian shirt would be cool.1
-
@dfox and @trogus made me install an app that schedules the blocking other apps on my phone :/
Good job, tho!1 -
So... How can dfox and trogus still think about weekly questions?
Like... 3 years after is still a thing :D22 -
Today someone shared one of @trogus his devRant comics on my best friends Discord community with people from her stream. Now I'm in doubt if that asshole (another story) is here or if he saw it somewhere else. As far as I know he isn't a dev.
But if he is here: Still waiting for your apology Neko3 -
Who else believe we need intellisense for devRant usernames and yes probably a small comment box so we peek at usernames instead of launching a different page entirely1
-
Dear @dfox and @trogus, please make the app go landscape for large screen devices like iPads, now I have to hold it always in portrait mode and it is highly uncomfortable at this size of screen4
-
Just subscribed to devRant++ but it says there was an issue with the play store...

First class mail for first class stickers! Thank you @dfox and @trogus, keep up the awesomeness

Spreading love for devRant amongst dev Mates in India; mates are Living and Loving it.
Cheers @dfox and @trogus3 -
Request :
Please add more Cartoons as it is really fun to see the devRant avatars in action
Please make it happen @dfox and @trogus3 -
It'd be nice if devRant app had an art gallery tab, showcasing devRant store items from various ranters, our workplace setup, workplace companions and other dev kits.

Is there anyway to get a high res version of the close up image? I want to use it in other services but i can only find a 150x150 jpeg :(4

Tabs over Spaces.
PHP over Python.
Internet Explorer over Firefox.
Death over Life.
@dfox over @trogus?4 -
hey , does anybody have some collection or something of the various graphics on devrant, like the logo, or alice's amazing vector arts ? i was creating a wallpaper for me, i wanted to include that .6
-
Kudos to @dfox and @trogus for the new update! No avatar to download yet though, still pushing heh :D
-
@dfox @trogus do you have any plans for adding chat with other plp around here or link to external portal profiles? I'd like to send a private message to one of them but I can't 😐
Btw I know it's hard to maintain something like that in a database since it takes much space but I wanted to ask anyway 😉14
