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

Every user of any app: "damn these annoying ads. I hate ads!"
Average devRant user: "Dfox, add ads please so we can support you more."
What a wonderful community (except those who repost memes). ❤️13 -
That moment when you come across other devRant lover while walking and then he requests you if he can take your picture! Thanks @dfox for this picture! Haha

When @dfox and @trogus scroll through their devRant feeds, is it considered slacking off at work, or properly debugging their software..? 🤔10
-
devRant has over 30k users within 1 year. Congratulations @dfox @trogus and awesome work. I would also like to thank my boss, project managers, colleagues and clients. They are the biggest contributors in devRant. lolz...1
-
Those feelings you get when you know @dfox can see you in he's rear view mirror.

New devRant energy drinks we'll be handing out at our booth at Techcrunch Disrupt NYC next Tuesday. Swing by and meet Team devRant (me and @dfox)!

"I wish I could browse devRant at work"
Well wish no more!
http://www.jsrant.com/
@dfox will I have my third entry on the projects page? 😇48 -
@dfox so is devrant turned out to be what you thought/hoped it'd be when you first started it, or is it different than the initial idea?43
-
My estimations before devRant:
PM: how long will it take to implement this?
Me: one day, tops.
My estimations after devRant:
PM: how long will it take to implement this?
Me: one week, tops.
Thanks @dfox for making me so productive.3 -
The Big difference between devRant and Facebook?
Facebook -> Everybody hate Zuckerberg
DevRant -> Everybody love dfox11 -
The fact that my wife thinks Devrant is lame is for me more confirmation that Devrant is the only social network for me worth spending time on. Thanks @dfox for making the world a better place for developers.2
-
devRant - a reminder that a small team can do something really big. That keeps me motivated, thank you @dfox and @trogus

!rant
Was learning how to make Android wear watch faces... So I made one for devRant.
Will be uploaded to Playstore soon if I have your permission @dfox
20 -
Gooooood morning devRant! Fucking friday, fuck yeah.
Hereby a rant which @dfox asked to make to test if a possible bug is fixed.
Have a great day everybody and thanks to dfox for keeping me in the loop on this!12 -
One thing I love about this app is the sorting algorithm. While giving good popular posts exposure, it also shows new unpopular posts in the mix, which you don't see a lot these days.5
-
So if @dfox and @trogus are the devs who make devRant... And if they want to rant about dev stuff... Does that mean they could then rant about devRant on devRant?6
-
soon,number of devRant users will hit its million mark and @dfox will not be able to write to everyone personally and mail their stickers!
So, here's to us, the early adapters of devRant! cheers!10 -
I would ike to be @dfox or @trogus. In any job interview just drop the phrase...
I founded devrant...
Hired 😁6 -
Since I discovered devRant, looks like I stopped using instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
I love this community so much!!
It even has functions facebook and instagram doesn’t have!
Thank you @dfox and all the others! Hope it continues like this!
Thanks devrant!6 -
@dfox
just thought about it...
why not devrant rubber duckies?
(this might be proposed in some other comment/rant already, didnt check for it)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 -
That moment when @dfox likes your comment and you feel successful in this social platform even though you're new.
25 -
Using devRant.
I have learnt a lot from everyone. I didn't even realise before that being a dev can be sooo awesome.
Thanks @dfox, @trogus.2 -
People I see all day on devRant
2016:
- All versions of Jase (@Jase @jAsE ...)
- @Linux
- @dfox @trogus
Today:
- @gitpush everywhere
- @Linux
- @dfox @trogus36 -
What's the size of the devRant family currently at? And what's your hopeful projects for 2019? @dfox40
-
@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 -
Hey, @dfox
Is there anything we can do to help?
We miss you, and we want to keep devRant alive too.22 -
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 -
// I wanna know the number of Active Devrant users out of curiosity, please run the code below.
if ( you are dfox || trogus ){
comment( no_of_Active_Users );
} else {
upvote++;
}20 -
First off: setup reveal
second off: thanks everyone for the 1000++!!
Lastly: devrant stickers!
Thanks @dfox and @trogus for making this awesome platform
12 -
@dfox
the only thing i really miss on DevRant is a loading bar/circle on images and gifs.
im always there guessing how long it will take to load.3 -
@dfox I really wanna thank you for this wonderful app..! An amazing platform to rant,share,laugh,learn ..what not for like minded people...You are so responsive towards users that you brought 'dark side' theme in jus few days ☺17
-
Worth the wait. Thanks devRant. Thanks @dfox and @trogus.
The stickers travelled a long distance to reach here in India. 😄
4 -
The feeling, when you realize that devRant uses PHP as main language... priceless..
haters gonna hate :D
Thanks, @dfox7 -
There are people who say that devRant stickers arive when you forgot about it. They came earlier then expected (that's what she said)
Thanks @dfox and @trogus
3 -
@dfox maybe it's a good idea to make devRant available for splitscreen on phones :D
I think it's amazing to listen to my girlfriends ranting on whatsapp and scrolling through devRant at the same time! (double ranting)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
-
Logged in to devRant after an year.
MindFuckingBlown.
The web version has changed so much. And I just noticed I have been registered here for more than 2 years now.
So glad to be back guys. *misses a bracket*
@dfox Can I get the devRant goodies now which I never received? Since eternity? I have even changed countries so lets see. :)2 -
Guys! @dfox is doing an interview at my local tech radio show! Check it out on tunein WLJS . I can't wait to hear his inspiration for devRant.12
-
Great article published on DZone by our @dfox describing how he and Tim built devRant with Neo4j:
https://dzone.com/articles/... -
Thanks again devRant, @dfox and @tragus.
Those stickers are amazing.
Hope to get the stress ball one day too.
Btw @dfox what do you mean with +1’s here? 500 +1's on a single rant for a ball
2 -
@dfox @trogus Was there any discussion about not displaying usernames within the feed? (eg, "posted by brod")
I reckon it's one of the best _features_ devRant has.7 -
I wish there was a way to pay for devRant++ yearly. Since I have no card of my own that work outside of Sweden I have to pay my mom and use her card, which is a bit annoying to do once a month.
dfox pls fix.8 -
Everything about devRant and its community is just amazing. Big S/O to @dfox and @trogus for keeping up this level of interaction! ❤️❤️1
-
@dfox must be flexing some ad space. I’ve seen an influx of new users the past few days. Welcome to devRant everyone.8
-
Dear dfox amd trogus,
I need a DevRant lunchbox. Please. Just, put it in your merch store. It would complete my life.10 -
Finally got a good spot for my devrant sticker
(Thanks for the stickers @dfox)
If you want to know why I put it on the Apple logo, in general I quite dislike the Apple brand but I needed one for college.
11 -
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 -
Just a personal request to @dfox
Can you screenshot only the part of the behind the scenes code of devrant? Just the part of it.
I want to see the syntax and how the language is used.
Thanks.23 -
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 -
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 -
ATTENTION @dfox!!!!
I found a bug in the devRant REST server. When you upload a rant with a vertical image (when the height is bigger than the width), the server seems to flip between the width and the height (I don't know if it happens all the time), and when I fetch the rant, the JSON data for image width and height is flipped! (in the JSON, the attached image section contains width and height information about the image, and they are flipped in their values, meaning that the width key is equal to the height, and the height key is equal to the width).
An explanation on the image below:
The small window on the left shows the real info about the image. Notice how the height is 800 and width is 600.
The window at the bottom shows the data fetched from devRant servers. Notice how the width returned from the server is 800 and the height returned from the server is 600.
22 -
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.
-
@dfox @trogus
Wait?
Does the devrant face thing have a name?
I have been calling my stress ball Devin when I use it to rubber duck debug.
Devin, developer, devrant...
I know, home run.😅7 -
@dfox what are your plans for devRant? Usually such communities get way out of hand with spam as it grows beyond a certain level? How will you keep devRant safe?15
-
Thanks @dfox for the latest update with all the choices for my avatar.. Now I can flaunt my lack of fashion sense on devrant too! 😂😂2
-
Was thinking. There are days when I am far too busy to check devRant (sigh, sorry :-(). How about devRant sending a notification for post of the day everyday? Would really make my day and that would be awesome! @dfox4
-
devJackpot in my mailbox this morning! Coffee, Evil Corp stickers (and others), and my free stress ball! Thanks devRant @dfox and @trogus for the fun!

Unknown notification error.

devRant bugreport
Im getting more and more bugs in devRant on my LG G2.
- Links cannot be opened
- profiles can not be viewed
- double tapping a rant opens the rant twice (tapping five times opens it 5 times) instead of voting it up.
- once in a while an opened rant shows up again under all the comments (with all comments as well). When this happens its exactly the ammount of comments.
Im not sure where to report this. If @dfox could take a look at this?
Gonna look up my android version in a sec. (edit version: 4.4.2)9 -
@dfox
You put that little horizontal scroll bar or you seriously wanted to troll us?
Thinking it's a side bar, I tried literally 5-6 times and then I gave up.
8 -
Devrant++ not aviable in Switzerland? Im so sad 😭
Always getting errors when I wanna subscribe.
Wanted to support dfox and trogus

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 -
Describe one devRant member in the comments (not yourself)!
@trogus is designer that made devRant the beautiful place it is now. It is often overshadowed by @dfox, but without him, especially the beautiful avatars, this place wouldn't be half as popular as it is.49 -
Hey dfox... The web version of devRant only allows you to "--" a rant or comment? Were you in a bad mood when you wrote this? Lol
4 -
WE DID IT BOYS! @dfox @trogus I feel that putting our devRant stickers on our laptops is officially a thing- So I'm prepared to join the dark side 😄
-
@dfox add a onBackPressed function and while exit make the code to double press the back button to exit.
Mistakenly clicked back button, now I hate my life.4 -
Who decides the question of the week? its 100 weeks of devrant i guess, this monday.
@dfox Should have a party and poll on it3 -
NOOOO!!!!

-
I'm using my devrant avatar for some UI testing :P , thanks @trogus and @dfox
(no production and plagiarism intended) -
DevRant just lacks of a section for Q/A similiar to StackOverflow. Guys the here are really kind and nice!!4
-
@dfox awesome avatars, the devRant avatars are really nice addition and just avatar we can edit them too.1
-
@dfox @trogus Thanks for the stickers, much appreciated 😊 best of luck in this venture and I hope that I can continue using devRant
-
@dfox
Feature request:
Open DevRant on the day page If I have opened DevRant less than 24 hours ago.5 -
I'd love if devRant had a search for user name when writing a rant, so if I type @dfox, it'll at least verify the name before I post.9
-
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? @dfox3
-
devRant reached the Philippines! Thank you @dfox and @trogus for this treat. Greatly appreciated!
ps. i named her devi (Hahaha)
7 -
Awesome, at lease devRant is up and running, where else would we all go otherwise when the Internet is falling apart! Go @dfox !4
-
Did the devRant algo shit itself or something? I've seen pretty much the same exact feed throughout the whole day..
@dfox6 -
Seeing lot of images these days, not sure how much space this is going to cost devrant? @dfox (I love GIFs though)2
-
@dfox and @trogus I was just wondering how do you support yourself and devrant? Do you have a day job or are you freelancing or is devrant making money to sustain you and itself?7
-
Proud to finally be another supporter of devRant. I've made myself a promise (no pun intended) to support devRant as soon as I begin to earn some money as a dev. So here I am...
Thank you dfox and trogus for your work!4 -
Regarding the Aug 19 devRant update - I am amazed at what you guys do. We are fortunate to have @dfox and @trogus building devRant and listening to the community input. It gets better each month. Onward and upward!1
-
Wow didn't know devrant evolved from jsrant. @dfox what's the story behind devrant like what was the motivation.
3 -
@dfox Read about the latest update. Excited for the changes as well as the secret feature coming in the next few weeks. Also thank you for the community guidelines. Much appreciated. Have an awesome weekend.5
-
@dfox, is there a "@everyone" sort of function that mentions everyone who commented on a particular rant?13
-
!rant
On top of having a good day, aka I didn't spend hours on 1 bug as usual... my devRant stickers made it! Thanks @dfox & Tim :)
2 -
!rant
Improvements for devRant
Add markdown support.
Change ++ -- button's color. (they look like they are disabled)
More probably coming soon
@dfox @trogus3 -
@dfox I keep getting an error when trying to post my wk112 rant :\
It does have about 4986 characters in total...
All I get is "There was an error creating the rant."8 -
devRant Stickers arrived. One of them already found place on my MacBook :) Not sure where to put the others yet. Thanks @dfox
2 -
Wait a minute.....@dfox was giving away squishy devrant balls?! ugh I need to rant more. rant rant rant.6
-
Thanks #dfox the Stickers and DEVRANT are awsome!<3
happy codeing and best Greetings from Hannover, Germany :-D
1 -
Fun idea;
Who else thinks @dfox should release a version of devrant for Easter with Easter egg codes for free/discounted swag hidden all over the app?5 -
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
-
Hey there people, I have a few questions regarding neo4j. Your experience could also be very useful to me here @dfox.
1. Is neo4j good for storing user data, like password hashes, etc.. In addition to the regular relationships with other components of the ecosystem
2. Is neo4j good enough to accommodate a really large number of users..
3. Does DevRant use a dual database, like user info in Mongo and relationships like comments and ++ on neo4j or is it like everything on neo4j
For q.3, if you're not @dfox then just provide an idea of how you would handle the situation.7 -
The new devRant UI is pretty cool and also love the new features in the app.
Good job dfox and trogus.18 -
@dfox I g-coded the devrant logo and drew it on my mini CNC plotter.
The pen doesn't go up and down quite yet. Soon though

@dfox
I have a problem with my Samsung galaxy S7 since the last update. When a friend share me a devrant link thought SMS it will open the link inside the Samsung internet browser not with the devRant application.4 -
Just wondering
@dfox
Will you ever maintain the issue tracker?
There are like 200+ issues/FR
https://github.com/devRant/devRant/...6 -
@dfox
Awesome devrant podcasts.
Seriously, if you enjoy devrant you will be really impressed with the two they have done so far.
Surprised at the five star guests they have gotten so far.
Just need to net Uncle Bob. -
I remember dfox, trogus said there were going to be some big updates coming awhile ago after devRant++? but haven't seen them yet?
When is are the rainbows coming?2 -
rumor has it dfox and trogus are abandoning their jobs to prioritize adding stories to devRant.
i mean, a social network without stories? sounds incredibly stupid and irrational to me8 -
@dfox. Please make links to devRant open in the app.
For example: https://www.devrant.io/rants/243831
^opens in web browser7 -
Soo.... when does devRant go from Fight Club to Project Mayhem? Will we have to stand outside of @dfox and @trogus's apartment for 3 days?2
-
Yo @dfox, I think we all know what devRant is missing. Some good old img/gif comments for all our meme response needs5
-
devRant has become such a dump. At this point I’m wondering when dfox and trogus are finally going to decide to pull the plug13
-
Hey @dfox consider to migrate devrant to flutter? I can contribute this. As the appcelerator titanium is discontinued.41
-
My stickers are finally here and I must say they are surprisingly high quality. Thanks a lot dfox and devrant community 🤘
-
@dfox Is there any devRant advertising available that I could print and hang up in my office. I would like to convince as many as possible of my programmer colleagues to use devRant :)4
-
@dfox & @trogus
Any chance of the tablet versions of DevRant to have rotatable interfaces? I always keep my iPad on my Smart Cover which is in landscape. -
Devrant bug: If the screen size is changed (by resizing app in multi-view) content disappear.
Apps should be able to cope with screen size changes during runtime - check android documentation, especially for Nougat.

Hey - @dfox article 'The Zen of devRant' is now featured on my favorite freelancer site toptal.com A must-read article for every devRanter's worldwide - https://toptal.com/software/...

Spreading love for devRant amongst dev Mates in India; mates are Living and Loving it.
Cheers @dfox and @trogus3 -
@dfox devRant search seems a tad iffy - if I search for "wk19" I see results for pretty much every weekly rant, not just wk19 ones.3
-
@dfox feature request
poll and some sort of pinup thing.
every second day people rant abt os or editor etc and voting gets lost , u know what I mean.1 -
!Rant coming to devrant after a month or so (sorry). Delighted to see all these changes :D :D. Thanks a lot @dfox @trogus
-
Request :
Please add more Cartoons as it is really fun to see the devRant avatars in action
Please make it happen @dfox and @trogus3 -
Does devrant has a trello where the community can write improvement ideas, request features and other stuff? I think it's a good idea if it doesn't exist yet. @dfox2
-
Why the limitation to only see 30 +1 posts listed via a profile while using devRant on a desktop @dfox?1
-
@dfox I believe when you add a comment to devRant you should be able to attach img/gif to it via the website. Like you do when you Post Rant.3
-
What if those users that go and like all your rants one by one.. are actually devRant test users and its just @dfox testing code?
😯1 -
DEVRANT FEATURE REQUEST
@dfox It would be a real time saver if DevRant app remembers the rant I was reading and saving me a time to scroll down to the last rant. :)3 -
Waiting for devRant to fix apple subscription so I join. Just common and clean my bank account @dfox2
-
One day @dfox, a person is going to lose their job being on devrant all day. Then rant about how they lost their job being on devrant.
-
@dfox it's not so nice to click on the "Web App" on visiting devrant everytime on browser.
why don't the main page direct to the Rant Feed ??10 -
Back on devRant!
@dfox I seriously wish some day I will get the squish ball and stickers you mailed me. Haven't got anything yet !!!! -
What languages and tools do I need to build an android app similar to devRant(same functionality)? Please help. Badly need advice for my next project.
@dfox @trogus1 -
@dfox I have a strange behaviour. Don't know if it's just me. But when I Click on a rant to open it on "a new window" and I give the rant a "++" and go Back afterwards, the plus icon on the specific rant changed the Color to Red but the counter didn't changed. When I Click the rant again, the counter and the Color is correct. But if I go Back again, only the Color remains, not the counter.
Does anybody else made this experience?
Thanks in advance.2
