Hey everyone,
Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates, happy holidays to everyone, and happy almost-new-year!
Tim and I wanted to reflect on the year devRant has had, and looking back, there are a lot of awesome things that happened in 2018 that we are very thankful for. Here are just a few of the ones that we thought of (this list is not exhaustive and I'm definitley forgetting stuff, so please comment about those!):
- After nearly a year in the making, the completely overhauled devRant web version was launched (https://devrant.com/rants/1255714/...)
- @linuxxx became the first devRant user to hit 100,000++! (https://devrant.com/rants/1157415/...)
- We once again pulled off the greatest April fools joke everrrr (https://devrant.com/rants/1311206/...)
- @trogus started making awesome devComics and http://devcomics.com was launched
- We added a feature to allow rant filtering by post type (https://devrant.com/rants/1354275/...)
- We made it so avatars could have expressions! (https://devrant.com/rants/1563683/...)
- We had a booth at TechDay New York and got to meet some devRant users! (https://devrant.com/rants/1394067/...)
- We made major backend architectural improvements - including spinning up a special high-powered-CPU web server to handle avatar creation and make the creation process much faster (https://devrant.com/rants/1370938/...)
- App stability: mainly Android - we fixed crashes, did a push-notif overhaul, and tried to continue making the apps better and more stable
- A record amount of devRant meetups were held, and we couldn't be more proud about that, and we thank every person who organized one! (just a few: https://devrant.com/rants/1588218/... https://devrant.com/rants/1884724/... https://devrant.com/rants/1683365/... https://devrant.com/rants/1922950/...)
We had a busy year, and despite some things going on for us personally and some setbacks around those, we think this was a very productve year for devRant and that we are going in the right direction. We're continuing to constantly evaluate feedback from members of the community to decide where to take the app next. We're fully committed to improving the devRant community in 2019 and we have a lot of ideas about how we can do that. We're working on some things, but we're not really announcing them yet, so please sit tight for those :) In the meantime, feel free to let us know what you'd like to see improved/added the most as we always like to get updated feedback from the community.
As always, thank you everyone, and thanks for your amazing contributions to the devRant community!
Looking forward to 2019,
- David and Tim

EDIT: since this announcement, collabs have been made free to post for all devRant members!
Introducing two big new devRant features!
First, the one @trogus and I are most excited about - Collabs!
Collabs are an easy way to start projects or work on existing projects with the awesome members of the devRant community. You can post a collab listing for the awesome open source project you started that could use some more contributors, that fun idea you have for a brand new project, or really anything you want to gather some fellow devs for. We think it will be a lot of fun.
Collabs also is a devRant first - it's our first paid feature. For each 2 week collab posting, we're charging $14.99. But we wanted to make sure to thank devRant users who have been with us for a while and anyone who contributes often, so anyone with 2,000 points or higher (now or in the future) gets one free collab listing!
The main reason we see collabs as a great first paid feature is because requiring payment or 2,000 points serves to be a slight barrier in posting a collab. We think for collaborations to be successful it's important to have some way to keep out listings where the poster has no intent of following through and we hope this is a good start to doing that.
NOTE: if the collab you are looking to create is devRant-centric (ex. a devRant Chrome extension), we will give you a free credit especially for that so you don't have to pay or use your earned free one. Just contact us (info@devrant.io) if your project falls into that category.
In addition, after tons of demand from the community, you can now change your username and email address! One important note is that you only get to change your username one time every 6 months, so use it cautiously :) You can access this feature in the "more" tab, then settings, then "Edit username or email."
If you have any questions or feedback about any of this, just let us know! We hope everyone enjoys :)

Hey everyone,
Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates, happy holidays to everyone, and happy almost-new-year!
We had a bit of a slow year in terms of devRant updates, but we gained some momentum towards the end of the year and we're looking forward to carrying it into 2020. Recently, we launched what I think are our coolest new avatar items yet (https://devrant.com/rants/2322869/...) and behind the scenes we got our iOS/Android apps on the latest version of the frameworks we use, which will help us continue to improve stability. Still, we definitely would have liked to do more, but we're optimistic the coming year will bring great things for devRant.
One thing we are very proud of is this year we had our best year ever in terms of platform stability and uptime. Despite the platform growing and our userbase growing, we had almost no complete app downtime even though our infrastructure is minimal. A large part of this is thanks to devRant++ supporters, who allow us to maintain a small but effective tier of infrastructure and redundancy.
In the coming year, we're going to launch one of our most ambitious initiatives yet, and we're also going to continue to improve the devRant experience itself. We want to try to gather more user feedback, so we'll be working on a way to do that too. Stay tuned, more on this stuff coming soon.
As always, thank you everyone, and thanks for your amazing contributions to the devRant community! And thank you to our awesome devRant++ supporters for continuing to be the main drivers to keeping devRant up and running.
Looking forward to 2020,
- David and Tim

Old people to new people -
"Welcome to devRant"
"Enjoy your stay"
🤔
I think, do some people plan to be a guest and leave devRant after sometime?
I'm here to stay.
Maybe, it should be
"Welcome to devRant, now you're stuck here..." 😈

Devrant::Mathematicians, unite!
I found a new way to calculate running average.
Old:
a(o, n, i) = (o(i - 1) + n) / i
New:
a(o, n, i) = o + (n - o) / i
a: New average function
o: Old average
n: Element to add to average
i: New number of elements16 -

Devrant makes me feel like I have tons of friends. Every new message my phone is vibrating 😅5 -
The most awaited death happens. The death of 2016!
My fellow devRanters, have a peaceful and a blessed new year. And if you are single, just like me, let our streak end this year! Haha! -
Finally! Today just received my stickers 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
It was funny because my mom sent me a message with a photo of the letter envelope (closed, obviously) and said "This just arrived today, It‘s from New York, WTF?!“
I laughed and answered "WOW! Those are my devRant stickers 😱😁“
It‘s also hilarious ’cause she though it was from my phone service 😂

Hey everyone, I’m new to devRant! Love to get to know the other developers out there. Anything big I’ve missed out on in the last 937 days that devRant has been around?23

I would like to add a new word to the devrant glossary, next to !rant
Recursive rant - rant about another rant
Any one interested in building a devrant glossary with me? Comment the words you like to add 😅20 -
!rant XOR !rant
I have been using devrant for a while now and have finally decided to create an account. That is all I have to say really. I rarely have anything to rant so instead I will just be ++ away.
P.S @linuxxx you are awesome and I love reading your rants.16 -
Yay ...hello all I'm new to Devrant. And I am loving it, community here is vibrant,funny and geeky :).I was at stack exchange, considering switching to devrant :)6

One week into my new job as a junior mobile developer I receive my stickers from devrant (for posts I made while still a project manager and self-studying to get where I am now) - on the same day I did my first 12hr workday to complete work for my first sprint.
1 -
For weeks I told my friends about devRant and how cool it is but they were like "meh! 9gag is better" or "I prefer Facebook".
Today I showed them my laptop with the new devRant stickers and suddenly everyone is downloading devRant.
Now I am thinking why did I waste my time.1 -
devRant keeps getting better and better! Collabs are great and the new avatar pets rock! Thanks devRant team.
What do you guys think of my new pets?2 -
Got a new iPhone X. Had to set up as a new phone because my old one had beta software on it and wouldn’t let me restore from backup (yes, I know I could download the new iOS beta on the X then reset and store from backup but I was in a hurry) but in doing so it gave me the chance to rearrange my home screen and devRant made it on the first page!

You know the app is good when you get a new phone and install devrant before whatsapp. Devrant even auto correct to decent lol.
Fyi: galaxy s8+ rocks -
Got back to devRant almost after a year today.
What's the new 'supporter' tag I've seen on some profiles?31 -
Damn, after almost a year back to devRant 😊. Linuxxx still goin' with his ++'s, tons of new users.. Aww, good ol' devRant, I missed ya :)6

Breakfast && software engineering daily podcast && admiring my new stickers == a good start to the day
Thanks DevRant!
-
The new devRant vote info is great! Improvements like this is one reason we all love devRant! Thanks devRant team for implementing this.
-
Sometimes, after devRant makes a new notification, the app crashes with the following stacktrace: http://pastebin.com/yyKL80nB3
-
Just some random thoughts looking at the soon-to-be new filtering feature.
Wouldn't it be nice if DevRant had a QR login like WhatsApp for easy login on desktop?
What about a "top rants" on profiles?
Oh what about an activity mosaic like GitHub's commit timeline?
Just some thoughts I had while punching my punching bag, it can get tedious.5 -
The new devRant long story feature is great! Very nice to have them in one place. Thanks devRant team!
-
Feeling inspired, think I might start a new open source devrant project. Great way to start a friday night 🙂

I have been lurking around here for about a month. Finally decided to write about how devRant motivates me. Whenever I read stuff I don't understand it makes me realize I've got so much more to learn. Happy new year :)1 -
!rant
It's amusing seeing something new on r/ProgrammerHumor and a few hours later seeing the same thing posted to devRant. Almost like there's a bot with a 2 hour delay posting to devRant.1 -
Inspired by devRant, sent this to a person with a new Apple Watch:
"Hi there, what ar....[read more]"
Moohaha1 -
Will there come new devrant cartoons to YouTube anytime soon? :/ I really liked them but unfortunately there are only 3.3

Whats up with Rust?
New to devrant so thought I'd post this here instead of googling (to practice devrant.. 😊)
Haven't heard of rust till lately but not sure it's place in coding languages...6 -

Wow! New devRant IOS upgrade released today has some really cool new features! They must have a team of 10 coders or 1 @dfox and 1 @trogus. Great work guys!
-
(Not a rant)
New to devRant :^)
Tell me the reasons why you started programming.
I want to know since there are so many devs out there..8 -
The new devRant avatar feature is so cool and there are so many ideas for customization being posted. Maybe at some point our dev community can build and submit custom devRant avatar objects according to devRant specs. I might even try to build a Bernoulli box 😀
Thoughts?1 -
devRant is the new stackoverflow.
A few weeks ago you'd spend time on SO scoring points. By now, though...2 -
The new devRant upgrade is great! So cool that everyone can easily get to podcasts from the menu. Comments interface nice improvements. devRant rules!
-
The new devRant UI is pretty cool and also love the new features in the app.
Good job dfox and trogus.18 -
Wow! Giving Thanks this morning for the new devRant upgrade. Tag suggestions, links open in app, mute notifs... Thanks devRant team
-
wow, the new devrant just scared the shit out of me for a second.(Web version).
anyways its nice to see devrant like this :) -
I just had the first day of my new job, and I started it by putting my victoriously earned devrant stress ball on my desk. I waited a word about it the entire day... I guess imma have to introduce my coworkers to the awesome place devrant is 😁2
-
Devrant got my hopes up when I got on and saw the fancy new website.
Of course, the webapp is the same old interface :(
new site looks great though!!3 -
Hii devrant I'm new to programmings. I programmed my first program but it wrongly outputs this sentence. What is the error?
27 -
I think their should be like tests or any kind of competition on coding kind of thing in devrant.
Or tips related to coding no matter any language most common mistakes etc.That's my idea tho😅😅😅
What u guys say about this?? -
There are so many new devRant members the past 48 hours. Welcome! Glad you are here.
If you just joined during the past week how did you hear of devRant?12 -
Why don't new devrant users have an actual logo of devrant as a profile picture instead of that ugly puke-green background?3
-
Hey guys!!
So... there are already a few sites, web apps and stuff related to Devrant out there.
Like the DevRant banner and stuff...
Can you please tell me/us about stuff what we already have and what people already made?
Thank you.
PS.: I'm needing a project urgently, I'll be making a DevRant portal today with all the stuff you say here, even if it's just for me. need the distraction.
some Html, PHP, CSS, and Bulma, didn't finish a project like this yet, it's time.
Thanks for your support so far guys.12 -
Well, I really like the new devRant app design BUT damn ... I can't stop swiping from left to right ...
-
We should start giving devRant profile link in Resume/CV lmao.
Hope that will be a new trend haha.6 -
Everyday, m opening devrant and would see a new UI UPDATE.
My fingers go to click a tab and realises it's not there.. and takes some time to search where it went.
Devrant on revolution..!!! -
So the more I scroll here the more I feel at home. I think this is the first place that I've ever been able to go that is in a social media format that I actually feel welcomed. It's like if I tell a joke people will get it. if I ask a question I can assume someone has come up with the same problem and will know how to help. or if they don't they've seen something on stackOverflow for me :p it's a good feeling to have found this website and the small comunity it presents.6
-
Been away from devrant for, 1 month or two or three .... a long time. Dont know where I was wasting all this time.
A lot of things have changed here since then. Major updates. DevRant looks even more beautiful now. Smoother5 -
Happy New Year to my awesome new family on devRant! Cheers to a successful year for us all, take care of yourselves!1
-
!rant
whenever I hear my phone vibrate in the background I open a new tab with devRant and check the new notifs.2 -
Found this sticker online somewhere. Thought id share it with you guys. (BTW: I'm new here, loving devRant so far!)

hey I am new here. Hope so this platform is different from fucking social media apps where user just post shit about anything9

My welcome message all the time
Username userName = new Username();

var devSessionMusic = new SpotifyPlaylist();
#TODO: Ask devRant for suggestions on who to add.

Why don't you devRant open a new tab when I click a link?
I don't want to right click to open in a new tab ):6 -
New to DevRant and really enjoying this community.
Would appreciate recommendations on similar or related webs.
Thank you in advance5 -
Ctrl + Enter should work for posting `new posts`/`comments` and Esc for cancelling on devRant in browser.2

@dfox
first, avatars are a great idea!
BUT I dont eant to wait until i have "n ++" to change the what computer (mac/non mac) is on my avatar/profile image. [the thing with the desk and watch is ok, but i think unnessesary. I wear a moto 360 every day so why schiuld i have none or another one that dose bot look like the one i am wearing on my profile picture]
COULD "BADGES" BE A SOLUTION ?
