Hey all, I just finished tagging some issues in Rebellion (a package that provides a bundle of utility libraries) with good first issue, if anyone’s looking for a Racket project to contribute to. See the tagged issues here: https://github.com/jackfirth/rebellion/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22

Understood. No intention to replace slack. I’m interested in the screen sharing and other functionality that slack lacks.

I understand the sentiment; my family in Australia only use Facebook messenger, my friends in the uk use WhatsApp, my wife is on iMessage (my own fault - I bought her an iPhone 3 for her birthday years ago). Work is email, and Racket is email&slack(with outreach on reddit and Twitter). Only spam and scams come via text/sms. I always forget about irc.

It is fair to say I have message app fatigue.

I think we all do.

I didn’t think you could screen share on the free tier but now I’m not sure…

The other day I wrote some code for querying the package dependency graph, to find out who was using my packages. Has anyone else tried to find out this kind of data? I could polish the code into a package.

@samth when I ran the script, typed racket was one of the top twenty or so most-often-directly-depended-on packages
