Ask HN: How best to collaborate between designers and developers?
This is a question about productivity and task management software. I recognize that when it comes to topics like these everyone has their own opinions and there rarely is one "correct" answer. I'm looking for perspective more than anything else.

This is my situation. In one of the organizations I contribute to, we collaborate very successfully using GitHub for code sharing, task management, code reviews, the whole nine yards. On top of this, we use Slack to manage private and group messages. This works very well for us; we communicate well, are rather productive, and friction between contributors is low. To top it all off, this group is a comfortable size (eight people) made up of dedicated, experienced individuals.

The story for the other group that I contribute to is quite different. We've always used GitHub for code sharing, but we've never really tapped into its more powerful features for code review, issue and task management, etc. When it comes to interpersonal communication, we use Facebook almost exclusively, which has led to a general breakdown of focused discussion, which means that we easily fall off topic and little gets done. This group is larger and much more diverse. It's a student organization, so there's a strong emphasis placed on inclusion. Few more than a handful of members have any solid experience, though that by no means implies that they lack talent. Because of the emphasis on inclusion and diversity, this group has much more representation by artistically-oriented designers. In the past it has been argued (rather naively and without real deliberation) that we should abstain from services like GitHub for task management since these services are prejudiced towards programmers.

The question then is this: for those people who feel that they've collaborated successfully on a team made up of both designers and developers, what, technological or otherwise, has best contributed to your overall success and cohesiveness?
Who Benefits From Spam?
http://protogenist.wordpress.com/2012/09/13/who-benefits-from-spam/
We believe that the people making the big bucks are those selling spamming tips and tricks
disguised as Internet marketing how-to’s, the software companies that create spamming
products, and Internet Service Providers who support spammers. Marketing to spammers is far
more profitable than being a spammer. We’re sure there are people who have tried using
spamming techniques to market their services or products that believed they were doing the right
thing, only to discover that they compromised their business and were threatened with loosing
their Provider’s support.

Ask HN: Open Source Regulatory Compliance Dictionaries / Word Lists?
The email gateway market doesn't appear to have any FOSS regulatory compliance software available to those who may need such services on a budget.

It got me thinking, that a Wiki-like repository of reg. comp. word lists might help facilitate development of such a thing.

Does anyone know of whether such a thing already exists? Might this be a good project to start?

These word lists are incredibly long, but I would imagine they could be group curated in a relatively short period of time. I could never do it alone, but I might be able to set up a Wiki for that purpose.

Thoughts?

Diamond Go
http://www.segerman.org/diamond/
Got to wondering today if it would be possible to have a three-dimensional variant of the board game Go. After a quick perusal I ended up at this web-page by creative English chappie Henry Segerman.

Some background and info from the page:
"[Diamond Go] was originally created in 1999 in response to a request by Walt McKibben (now deceased) to explore possible ways of playing the oriental game Go in three dimensions. [Diamond Go] serves this function very well, with points on the interior having four neighbours, corner points having two, and edge/side points having three. This is the same on the two-dimensional board and the wire diamond."

Any one who has been in the design industry for sometime must have experienced a situation where the client tells you that the design you have provided was not what he was looking for. Then the client gives you examples of work he likes and asks you to make something similar. Well there could be two explanations to this situation, either you did not get a design brief from the client or the client never bothered to answer the questions in the brief properly. After reading through this article you will have the solution to both these problems.

Show HN: I created a Chrome extension for secure screen sharing
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/allurt-secure-screen-shar/igfmiclefjlnfogddikkkllpnoanjhap
Hi HN Community,
Its been a year since I am working on a chrome extension that focusses on securely sharing screen.
The pandemic took lots of businesses to remote work and screen sharing has been happening more than ever.

When we share screen, we are actually showing all the tabs, the message notifications, the apps we use and its like giving a picture of our whereabouts to everyone.

This thought or I would say the insecurity of sharing my privacy was the triggering point of creating ALLURT. I tend to share screen a lot and I spend couple of minutes making sure that the private tabs are closed and the bookmarks are hidden as I feel uncomfortable showing it to the world.

What ALLURT is offering right now,
1. Review tabs before sharing screen and close any single or all tabs except the current one thus saving your time that you tend to spend in reviewing the tabs.
2. Hide bookmarks automatically when you share screen and bring it back once screen sharing ends.
3. Put the browser in DO NOT DISTURB mode automatically to provide you a distraction free environment to present your work.

What's next,
1. Customized features that you can set up according to the privacy you need for yourself during screen sharing.
2. A full fledged application that will cover many other platforms like zoom, MS Teams etc.

ALLURT is very useful for software engineers, sales persons and entrepreneurs. Most of our users are software engineers.

I am focussing on bringing in more features and users. Your valuable feedback (good or bad) would help me make positive changes to the extension.

Thank You.
