My only complaint at this time is how the screen, the text jumps up & down while trying to read. Conversations can move so fast that if you pause to comment then try to catch up, the comments you missed while entering text will jump around while you try to read them. Otherwise a nice little app. Also would be nice if there was more immediate support for non technical people. Maybe there’s a forum I don’t know about.
Outperforming Market Analyst is SUPERB
SmtBlndTrader
I am an individual investor with a background in Digital Operations, Strategy and Analytics for huge corporations who now works for myself. not only are the spreadsheets GOLD and just what I needed. It’s like I designed it myself and the analyst populates the data! And the data is accurate, and covers everything a beginning trader needs to stay above the curve. I saw a clip on CNBC today where there is a small percentage of individual investors above the market yield curve at the moment and I have a feeling we all owe this to Seeking Alphas magical analyst (Ben) who has given me back my days to enjoy the sunshine and keep killer returns. Best investment I ever made. I hope he is rewarded handsomely that work takes a special type of brain, detail and talent. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Scrolling is jumpy and buggy
In Search of a Song
Been using this app on iPad for several months. You would think a chat forum would be a pretty basic thing to get right. I guess it’s not. As you scroll through posts in this app, instead of a smooth view it frequently skips ahead or back. The effect being that as you are scanning the posts, whatever you were looking at suddenly jumps off the screen when something new either loads at the bottom of the scroll or something moves off at the top of the screen. It’s disorienting to say the least. Seems to be based on whether posts have images or not but I can’t be sure. It’s the app devs job to figure that out. I do know that the user experience is very annoying and frustrating. Makes it easy to lose your place and then you have to keep scrolling back and forth every few seconds to find what you were halfway through reading. Really disappointed with this app and do not recommend.
Best Open Source Slack Alternative
alexsaintx
Rocket Chat is hands-down the best Open Source alternative to Slack. My tabletop gaming group needed the flexibility of hosting our own chat server, and after surviving the ruin of HipChat and exile from River, we decided we were done with hosted services, both “free” and “for pay” alike. Now we have total control over our server, the freedom to invite as many players as we like, and the knowledge that our creative content is safe.The upgrade paths from early (pre-1.0) versions to 2.4 are strenuous, but well-documented. And there now exist turnkey server setups for hosting providers like Digital Ocean. Mobile is also well-supported, making Rocket the obvious choice for organizing all manner of volunteer and creative communities.
