What is Reddit's opinion of
Slant?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I don't know if this answer your question, but Skype is no longer the biggest player in video chat game. I personaly, and a lot of people I know, prefer discord instead of skype.
Here a very good analysis of the difference between both software : https://www.slant.co/versus/4554/5637/~skype_vs_discord
I see everyone recommending iPhone, but Apple's stubborn stance on not converting to USB-C for iPhone charging has me seriously considering converting to Android for my next phone.
Personally, having all my devices charge from the same cables would be a huge plus. Granted, not all adapters (i.e. the thing you plug into the wall) will have the strength to power the heavier consuming devices, but it seems like you would be able to get away with 1x 60W capable brick, and a 1-2 20W adapters, for when you want something more lightweight than the 60W brick.
Ultimately, it depends on what your budget and OS preferences are, but this list of PCs and this list of phones might be a good place to start, if you wanted to consider minimizing based on number of peripherals you would need.
Also, you list Apple Watch, but unless there's a specific reason for wanting a smart watch (e.g. you will actually use the heartrate/etc data it collects), it seems like adding that just adds another device to carry, not to mention charge and maintain.

Now send me $300
Integrating Enjin doesn't make you any special nor should it be any sort of selling point for the game because what matters is gameplay and what you have is generic as fuck, as someone mentioned this is a poor No Mans Sky built on a slow database.
300 players isn't enough to support an MMO you need thousands of people who actively pay and engage with the content because your hosting fees are going to bankrupt you.
If my opinion doesn't matter why the fuck are you here responding to every single post?
that goes without saying. removing the snap tool for another screenshot taking tool etc. wtf? how the hell had a problem with the snipping tool as it was? it's just insignificant busywork for microsoft devs instead of tackling the real-use issues and the loads of feedback the insiders provide but MS ignored.
I'm really starting to believe there comes a point in every application's/operating system's lifecycle when developers rather make changes just for the sake of changing something, however minor, instead of doing the actually laboriuos and boring process of achieving and maintaining software stability and compatibility.
that's a common phenomena on linux where people rather waste time on a file manager or audio player #435 rather than fixing the issues all the previous iterations had ("wiping the slate clean"). now it's infected windows as well.
Mint XFCE is a great first distro for windows refugees and has a light overhead should be good on battery life. Although LXDE & LXQT or Enlightenment might be lighter https://renewablepcs.wordpress.com/about-linux/kde-gnome-or-xfce/ they might not have a pleasing enough look.

But seriously, the go package managers that you make reference to are all candidate implementations, the go maintainers go to great lengths to pick the right solution. This means lots of trial solutions spring up first and then one eventually wins or the learning from all those trials go into the official builtin solution. That solution is gomodules. It's still pretty new so you'd be forgiven if you hadn't heard of it.
there's no reason to use audacity in your case.

also, there's no need to normalize, especially not as many times as you are. you aren't doing any bit-harm to your audio but it's just unnecessary. you just need to work on your gain staging of your signal thru your devices. i never normalize, literally ever.
you can run a vocal signal thru 8 different processors, send to a couple fx buses and to your master bus and you don't need to normalize, just get the input signals and output signals of each processor in good areas (input trims / faders vs. makeup gain vs. output trim / faders etc).
I've never used "Alfred", but there is something which looks very similar on Linux named "Albert":

Blender isn't an industry standard like 3DS Max. But it's being actively developed (just take a look at the release logs for this year) and it has a feature set that is difficult to match with any other single software in the space.
Of course, there are things that are more difficult to do in Blender compared to 3DS, but the reverse is also true. And with a fast release cycle, things that still need polishing have a real chance of being improved in the near future. Not to mention that it has a very good level of support from its developers. User satisfaction levels are exactly the same (98% for Autodesk 3ds Max vs. 98% for Blender) And Blender outperforms 3DS Max (hard) in most performance tests.
Here is an informative comparison: https://www.slant.co/versus/5501/5503/~blender_vs_3d-studio-max
Blender is ranked 1st while 3D Studio Max is ranked 11th.
In the end, there is just the bottom line on which all people have agreed upon: the artist matters more than the software. And Blender is free, 3DS Max is expensive..
And if you want the most popular 3D software then you should pick Maya instead of 3DS Max. It is offered as part of the "Media & Entertainment Collection" and has more features for animators. Many animators prefer Maya’s toolset for setting keyframes and utilizing curves. Maya is incredibly powerful and has a more high-end toolset than 3DS Max.
I read an article that had said that nano was 5-10 seconds and that xrp was 3-5. I just googled and this article confirms what’s you’re saying. I guess what I read was really outdated, so thank you for setting me straight!

There are lists of free opensource android apps like https://gitlab.com/Ashpex/android-FOSS-apps but i donot know any site that have app reviews with pros/cons and comparison of features for similar apps especially for f-droid.
The slant.co webside tries to do usergenerated app reviews (without the focus on f-dropid) i.e. android-gallery-apps but in my opinion therer are not enough authors to do the reviews
May be a blogger feels inspired by this question to write an article about his/her favorite fdroid apps
I tried pretty hard to get Android gaming working on my site Slant: https://www.slant.co/tags/android-games
It's all community driven with some (IMO) innovative features to make discovering android games easy. Didn't really take off in that niche though, got a lot more usage in PC gaming. Would love to hear how we could make it better for android gaming.

Maybe create decent art assets for one of the most popular open source games. Some of them like Battle for Wesnoth, OpenTTD, OpenRA, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and corsixTH seriously need a face lift. I'm not sure how much work would be involved though. Or what you consider a small project. It should garner a lot of attention and publicity, however.
Look, all GTX 1070s are basically the same in performance. Normally I suggest buying the cheapest one but if you feel like, read this article: https://www.slant.co/topics/6632/~gtx-1070-cards
See which card has the lowest load temperature and buy that one. Also make sure it will look nice in your build cause color coordination gives 200% boost in FPS.
TabGroups Manager allows me to open hundreds of tabs into tabgroups side by side that I can see and scroll through using the mouse wheel. I can export tabgroups which I can import via drag and drop. I can (un)suspend and (un)hibernate. I can have the favicon and name of a tabgroup either be set automatically using multiple options or do it manually.

Here is something you might want to show them. Gives an OK explanation of what a launcher is, then lists pros and cons of each launcher. The launchers are voted on, so the best ones rank higher than mediocre ones too.
I'd explain a launcher like this: a launcher is like a desk. You can change the desk itself so that the drawers are different, and it's a different size and looks and feels different...but you can put all your old stuff back onto/into the new desk...so it's like a re-organization with added benefits.
I love reaper... But a lot of the included features in Studio One make it very tempting to switch.

Reddit threads connect people to people. That aspect (people) is something that Stack Overflow has tried to design out and instead focusing on content. To that end, its done a really good job of having questions and answers, especially when considering what came before.
One of the biggest challenges that SO has is that people want it to be for all questions, not just the questions that it was designed for. That creates a bit of friction that some people perceive as hostility.
Consider the "what is the best IDE for Java" question that constantly pops up. SO does reviews rather poorly. On the other hand, I've found a site - https://www.slant.co - that only does "what are the best" type questions. https://www.slant.co/topics/607/~best-java-ides does exactly what one would want for that style of question.
I've been using Linux as my full-time OS on my personal machines for a little more than 10 years now, so a large part of my affinity for it is familiarity at this point. But also I prefer it over Windows due to the fact that it's open source.
Windows is like buying a car where the hood has a lock on it and you have to take it to the mechanic to get anything done, while Linux is like buying a car where you can open up the hood and do whatever you want, and the technical manual comes with it. This allows anyone to make customizations for Linux, like for example all the window managers that you can choose from. /r/UnixPorn is a good place to see all the different things you can do with a Linux system that completely change the user experience.
When something goes wrong with the system you can really pop the hood to investigate what happened, as opposed to just reviewing the Event Log, rebooting and hoping that fixes it. Everything in Windows is so structured and pre-fabricated in a specific format; Microsoft wants to choose and design the user experience 100%. Linux is all about freedom - it's the OS for programmers and hackers (people who want to understand how things work), but most modern distributions are also extremely user-friendly now and simple to use.
I wonder why rustaceans generally prefer coveralls to codecov? The latter has nice browser extension. Also see comparison.
- Get an IRC client (irccloud has image/video embedding and message persistence, but has some annoyances that apply only to free accounts)
- Join the IRC

It could not be easier (excluding webchat but webchat is gay). Possibly even easier than using Discord.
I would recommend either Uphold, Kraken, or Binance personally.
In future it could be a good idea to use sites like Slant to search questions, or services and find alternatives to them.
For example: https://www.slant.co/options/20908/~robinhood-review
This is the RobinHood page on Slant, you can see all questions it's been recommended on. Click the question to see what else has been recommended for that question.

Looks like a good question to reference, while you want Dogecoin and not Bitcoin, you can just verify if the platform that stands out to you supports it manually.
There are zillions of git hosting servers, but yes, I’ve migrated to gitlab. Other alternatives:

Have you ever used a distro without systemd? Check out this publication’s comparison of pros and cons. I don’t know why you would want a monolithic, scope-creeping all-or-nothing overly-complicated (and therefore not adhering to traditional Unix philosophy of “do one thing well”) init system when you could have a tiny C program that runs a series of user-adjustable shell scripts instead. I resent not being able to choose my init system with other distros and I am happy there are still non-systemd options like Void.
You might not think so but tinier, less complicated and simpler software does in fact equal faster software.
>change a computers name
c:\WMIC computersystem where caption=’CURRENT‘ rename NEW
You can even change a remote computer's name:
c:\WMIC /node:”CURRENT” computersystem call rename “NEW“
>install new software
This varies depending on the software itself on both OSes. I will point out that there are several package managers available in Windows, and almost any .msi package can be installed silently via the commandline. Also, let's not pretend that double-clicking a setup.exe and clicking Next a couple of times counts as "hoops you have to jump through".

I understand what you are saying and I think I found a webpage that has a few good options that are reasonably priced, durable, and well reviewed. I hope this sight helps. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I just mention I am not super knowledgeable on earbuds. I know 1more has some really good stuff at a good price and it's earbud is number one on the list. The klipsch earbud mentioned is another one that might be a good match and is more affordable than the 1more.

For a web surfing machine for your TV, I would recommend taking a look at the ODroid XU4. It is MUCH more powerful than the Pi, and does much LESS than a Pi, making it perfect for a couch surfing machine. Warning: You will not be able to hear audio unless you are using an HDMI monitor with embedded speakers. This is the price you will pay for getting exactly what you need.
Before my now husband and I got married we were also LD. We basically played MMORPGS and steam coop games that looked promising. Here's a great list that also has 4 player options.
https://www.slant.co/topics/1366/~co-op-games-on-steam
Since you enjoy HoTS, if you haven't heard of Breakaway, you might want to put it on ur radar.

It's not available yet but looks promising.
EDIT: was tired last night and my response was a tad incoherent.
I've been looking through my library and I'm feeling a little stumped. 500+ games on Steam and I can't find a single title to fit the "same system simultaneous co-op" requirement.
I play games with my gf occasionally and we usually do this by taking turns. INSIDE, Limbo, Rogue Legacy, Brothers: a tale of two sons, Ghost of a Tale, Rock of Ages Braid, were all games we played together and had a fun time with.
Key to these was not that the game itself was short, but rather the turns/lives/missions are short and bite-sized, or that there's good controller trade-off points so one person is never sitting waiting for their turn for too long.
Brothers: is the only one that was truly simultaneous co-op - we shared halves of one controller each (which I don't really recommend as it makes the emotional climax into a real bummer for someone)
Found this that might help. Oh! Trine and Trine 2! Highly recommended - I didn't know it had local Co-op options! That is a beautiful game. Broforce is fun and self-paced. Gang Beasts is supposed to be great, bite-sized, cute slimy fun.
the older Super Bomberman games would probably be a good fit, my old SNES favorite Secret of Mana has good co-op in a cute RPG theme.
Actually there are loads of good old co-op games available to you if you want to fire up some emulators and try Sunset Riders or Sonic & Tails or something along those lines.
There's the software recommendations SE (and they're much more strict about content than SO ever was or could be), but the Q&A format doesn't work well for that type of material.
Consider the possibility that the way the Q&A software works that SO uses isn't the best for every type of question. To that end, there's https://www.slant.co which focuses on the "what is the best" type questions https://www.slant.co/search?query=javascript%20framework
I don't know that /r/AndroidGaming still likes this website but Slant.co has a pretty good selection showing off games for android in certain category's. The website operates based on questions and all the content is added by the users.
First off. Dude! Thank you for taking the time to write up such a thought out comment.
Let me try and take on the points you brought up one at a time:
Ranking. We decay votes over time to give new stuff a chance to get noticed (more about it here).
Pros and cons. Super-glad you like the idea, it's really the core of the site.
Moderating opinions. This is how it works. You make a claim - something like "Beautiful aesthetic", or conversely "Horrible aesthetic" which people can then agree or disagree with by voting. If there are opposing opinions, both are shown and everyone interested in the game can decide which makes a better case and see which opinion people agree with more. There's a bit more to it, but that's the gist of it. I should mention that we're working on making this more intuitive.
Searching for a specific game. It's coming. We already have game-specific pages, like this. Adding them to search is on the short term to-do list. (Technically, you can already search for a game and it will return all the questions that the game is in, but getting to the game page requires lots of clicking, which understandably is not ideal.)
>Uncomfortable, yet very pretty website design.
Yeah, we're still figuring the design out. What would you say were the places you got frustrated the most?
>How long did that take to copy-paste?
Compiling the list was quick. An hour maybe. How much time the community spent on playing the games that have been reviewed is a different question entirely. :)
Edit: reworded a sentence to make it more clear.
https://www.slant.co/topics/9367/~couch-local-co-op-games-for-xbox-one
A few of my favorite couch coop games are Borderlands, Halo, Gears and Overcooked. If you’re a Gold/GamePass Ultimate Sun make sure to download moving out. It’s a pretty fun couch coop game.
Apparently this list is a complete of all coop games available as well. Have fun! 🍻
what you actually want is a selfhostable git (hosting) service. The most popular options are Gitlab (both a free and a paid version with more features) and Gitea. There's also cgit (a lot more barebones), and sourcehut (if you like the traditional email/patch-based workflow more than the github-y fork-and-pull-request workflow).
See here for a list of other options (none of them tested).
G'day gamers. I am looking for a bifurcated keyboard layout with mechanical keys and maybe a volume wheel if the stars align. I love Microsoft's Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 and will probably never stray unless I can find a more gamer-grill version. I was looking around and found stuff like this but they're all roughly the same with either regular or chiclet keys. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
Yes, but I have both. I would recommend to try out each one.
I see more features and customization with Vivaldi.
There's others out there, but here's a good short list of recommendations in aggregate:
https://www.slant.co/topics/2282/~best-rpg-maker-games https://steam250.com/tag/rpgmaker https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingsuggestions/comments/9mqe8j/best_rpgmaker_games_of_all_time/
I really enjoyed to the moon and skyborn, can't speak to the others on this list. I've heard great things about ara Fell, but haven't played it.
It's slower than Chrome in some sites but it gets the responsiveness and animations right. For example in low power machines and average mid range smartphones, surfing through slant.co stutters while Firefox glides through it.
Oh, I just checked and yeah, 121g is a bit heavy.
Check this link: https://www.slant.co/options/4502/alternatives/~logitech-g502-alternatives
It has mice with a similar shape to the G502, then check the specs of the ones you like better to see its weight. I think anything between 80g-100g would be better for you to try.
Also, post your question on /r/MouseReview as this sub is only for keyboards and your post might be deleted soon. I don't research mice as much as I much as I research keyboards (and even then I know only the basics), but there might be people there that felt that the G502 is heavy and tried a similar mouse that they can recommend to you.
I had to look up LMMS. Didn't know what it was. No, I was thinking of Ardour and other similar stuff. There are some choices, I just don't know what people are actually using that has a good community, can use the most plug-ins, sample libraries, etc.
I need to look further into these: https://www.slant.co/topics/6067/~daws-for-linux
The first frontend kits I used were jQuery and bootstrap. React, Vue, and Angular are probably going to make you rage a lot if you've never done much audio-visual interface experience effect work before.
​
Node.js does really have a go to CMS like php has wordpress, etc.
https://www.slant.co/topics/1847/~best-node-js-based-cms
​
If it did, I might have recommended that. However, honestly just sticking with bootstrap and jQuery would be my suggestion, and then after that I would probably look into "webpack" and "less" for compiling "js" and "css" respectively.
No, no it’s not. Hangouts doesn’t send SMS/MMS, it won’t send video, there’s a list of all the stuff it won’t do that iMessage does. It can’t send italic or bold text although it can receive it. It’s not even close. Check out this comparison link (compares messenger and hangouts as of 2019) to see what hangouts can’t do.
Sorry, I haven't played for a few years now myself. I'd suggest just googling "best mods", perhaps put a 'posted in the last year' qualifier in there, and I'm sure the you'll come up with some ideas. However the one I remember which I did find absolutely essential allowed me to use spacewalking astronauts to add custom support struts to big (interplanetary) ships being assembled piece by piece in space. That, and I did use the famous "autopilot" mod package (again, I've forgotten the name). I did at first learn how to do everything manually, but after a while I found letting the autopilot do some of the work for me was a relief.
Edit: I took a quick look, and that mod that allowed struts to be placed I'm sure was "Kerbal Engineer Redux". And the autopilot mod I used was "MechJeb" (although there does seem to be another newer one out now). Here's a couple more recent lists to get you started:

Honestly no idea. Paint.net, was supposed to replace MSPaint and was developed wih the help of Microsoft. The program is quite simple and compared how krita looks it is not as estheticly pleasing. Honestly just used it for school projects but as a person with no experience in Photoshop and wanted it for very specific reasons, it worked out for a couple of friends and me at school. Btw found a website comparing them.
Mint is a pretty solid distro for new and old alike I think. Low maintenance. But if you go with either the Cinnamon or the Mate desktop you'll get nice lightweight desktop managers. It's really not the distro so much as the desktop manager if you're concerned about low resources. You could go with LXDE, but the others look a bit nicer. You could use any of these desktops on most distros but Mint+Cinnamon is pretty nice.
Thanks a lot! This comment wasn't only useful by itself, I did some digging afterwards and found this: https://www.slant.co/topics/1327/~best-cross-platform-to-do-list-app
Don’t let me dissuade you by any means. If you want them, treat yourself. As another redditor said in this thread, their quality has improved since Apple bought them.

Just assuming the vast majority of people might be using ubuntu/mint or alike and wonder about the double bracket thing: https://www.slant.co/versus/528/1601/~dash_vs_bash
$sudo bash script.sh works. sudo sh might not work even with shebang as ubuntu loves dash so much.
OP would have said if uses Arch,right? All Arch users do.
Depends on what kind of learner you are. Also depends on the language you want to learn.
I, for one, would recommend people to either start with video tutorials or interactive sites such as Codecademy. You can find some alternatives to Codecademy here.
URI Online Judge is also a very good way to learn the basics of a language by prompting some code from you.
Also, learning to think algorithmically (is this even a word?) does wonders.
On a Mac, not sure if GarageBand imports video - but Logic is your next best bet.
On both PC and Mac you have Steinberg Cubase (HZ uses this DAW) , Ableton Live, Presonus Studio One, Avid Pro Tools and MOTU Digital Performer.

I've only used Audacity from this other list, to fix a corrupted recording so I'm not sure how capable they are for your needs (since you usually want good MIDI support when composing film scores).
> The issue here is no one in the EU is competing at the same level Google has been or currently is.
Well whose fault is that?? You have to get off your ass and innovate, market, and sell. There is NO guarantee of outcome. There's no shortage of brilliant coders in the EU, yet where are the better alternatives? Many here are saying there are none, but a quick Google search (notice they're not suppressing competition) turned up <strong>TWENTY NINE</strong> Play store alternatives.
>It seems to me Google is trying to utilize their software/hardware to provide users with the best experience possible.
I agree, and I find their products incredibly useful. I couldn't get through my day without Maps and Gmail.
>Could I be wrong, and this is a capitalist ploy to monopolize?
You are wrong. The company producing the best product should be the market leader, and anyone who comes up with something better deserves to unseat them. There's PLENTY of competition right now, but none of it really offers any kind of advantage.
>If there is something more to a user's liking they are not hindered from pursuing that avenue.
That's right, they're not, so why the fine?
In linux, PgAdmin3 was fixed some time ago, now it works fine with Postgres 10Good PgAdmin3 version is 1.22.2
P.S. Also, there is some alternatives exists, like OmniDB

Ah you're right, for some reason I was thinking "Window Manager".
In this case yes Pantheon is the Desktop Environment, and Gala is the Window Manager eg
For me, good battery life is anything over 2 hours (I'm used to using old hardware .... my satellite is roughly 14 years old, the battery lasts about 20 minutes)
:)
This list has a few laptops that claim 10+ hours of battery life.
Would getting an external battery be an option as well?
There's actually an MMO question on the site, but it currently has just one answer so I opted to not show it off. However, since you asked, here it is. :)
I actually cut about 50% of the ps4 questions we have right now for either being just 1 answer deep or not really fitting under the scoping of the post (Like most difficult games or games with great gun customization).

Both choices present Pros and Cons, depending on who you ask.
Reddit's choice is extremely clear, and reddit devs hate CS. To be clear, I'm not saying you personally, just reddit devs in general, and I use the word hate in a very imprecise way, not as the "I wish you were dead" sort of hate, more the "I hate mayo on sandwiches" sort of hate.
Our choice back in 2015 was more about my boss already being comfortable with CS, having used it in personal projects the proceeding couple of years. I was the jr. member of our team, so I didn't argue about it, I didn't know either CS or ES.
Honestly, the biggest thing imo in favour of Express is that is backed with nodejs, and node is the future.
nevertheless that could be somewhat arbitrary so I found this link with some detail differences and benefits of using each.
Any game that you could play with a regular HID controller. All emulators and a bunch of games from the PlayStore. Currently I use PPSSPP and Dolphin emulators. Tekken 6 on PPSSPP and Super Mario Sunshine on Dolphin.
IMO based on overall specs, quality and support I always recommend ASUS or MSI. For this card in particular, I believe I had read MSI 6gb is the "fastest" of the 1060 lineup. Did a quick search and found this comparison. It shows the MSI getting the highest Firestrike score. Keep in mind that benchmark scores and real world application are 2 entirely different things.
However, the ASUS STRIX-GTX1060-6G-GAMING has the highest clock speed out of the box and can be overclocked pretty high. So if that is something you are interested in doing, you may fair better with the ASUS.
no problem, XFCE is a pretty cool guy, it's a good compromise between a light footprint and easy configuration.
many developers use it although it's slowly updated, ironically.
I too see this question often, and the answer is often Foobar2000, sometimes Vox, sometimes just VLC. Personally I use Winamp most often.
I have yet to see anyone give any real reasoning behind their answer yet.
Why is Foobar better than VLC?
I think if someone can give a real breakdown of pros and cons of some different audio players, it should be stickied.

KDE, GNOME, Xfce, LXDE, etc. are call Desktop Environments not Window Mangers.

Yes, each one is different then the other. We have all these choices. Because Linux is all about freedom. Everyone is unique to fit someone needs. You learn your needs, you learn which WM or DE you need to use.
Only way to know this. Is to use Linux faithfully. Then you will know exactly what you need. It's hard to pin point which is better for you. Until you try a few and learn everything about what Linux can do for you.
Just enjoy using Linux. Everything else will just fall in place.
Yeah, other than halo, I can't play the violent ones with my nephs. That is the unfortunate issue. Are sports games still local 2 players?
Here is a list I found.

Edit: Want to point out that GUI drag-and-drop, itself, isn't my problem. My problem with Unity is that code is so bound to the in-scene objects. Ie, you're entirely bound to its ECS-like system, particularly the "EC" part of it.
For example: imagine creating a game which radically changes the way physics works depending on different world states.
So my major gripe with Unity is it gives you very little control over the "S" part of an ECS system. You really have to work around Unity to do that.
Original post:
I've been experimenting with a few different engines to try to find one that suits the games I want to develop and my sensibilities.
It's kind of frustrating trying to find research on this because of all the people who are just like, "build your own engine!" or "just use SDL/SFML!".
There's irrlicht, which really suited my sensibilities and would've been perfect, but it's outdated in some respects. I'd probably be happy to go with cocos2d if I were to make a 2d game. I've messed around with Spritekit before, and liked that. I assume Scenekit would be pretty similar. Really, there's a lot, but I've been focusing on C++ with easy portability. Check out here, maybe: https://www.slant.co/topics/1495/~3d-game-engines
Yesterday I discovered Urhos3d, but I haven't had a chance to play with it much. Looks very promising, though, and probably checks more marks than all the others I've looked at.
I have a couple ideas :)
Make it open source. It blows me away how the source code for websites promoting open source software is often nowhere to be found. We open sourced elementary.io and it's been great to get little pull requests here and there.
Something I really like instead of reviews is what Slant does with pros and cons. It ends up being kind of a single crowd-sourced review where users can upvote or downvote each point they agree or disagree with. Cuts down on duplicate comments and lets people get straight to the point of what other people think about the distro

Been a while since I used Lubuntu, think it uses File Roller, an alternative with a GUI would be Xarchiver or PeaZip.
*edit - I also created a question regarding archivers on Linux, please feel free to add anything about File Roller, since it seems to be causing you issue.
Well, this seems like a good list: https://www.slant.co/topics/2746/~android-password-managers
They have cross-platform password managers too, so android support is almost certain on that list.
After much research I have decided to use the Godot Engine for game development. I am a retired Web programmer (ColdFusion programmer since it came out in the mid-1990's) and I didn't want to make a mistake when choosing a dev platform.
I looked at everything from libGDX to Stencyl to Unity and Unreal, Construct 2, Game Maker, you name it... In the end Godot Engine won out for me. One of the things that helped me decide was this list:

Check out Kayak (here's a comparison: https://www.slant.co/versus/108/105/~momondo_vs_kayak)
Huge list of 2D engines/frameworks Many engines these days fit the bill for multiple different kinds of games. It will generally just come down to: What you know? What are you willing to learn. Also what platforms you have in mind.
Find a 2d platformer game you like from these lists if you liked maple I guess:

I use Google Docs when I can; probably, LibreOffice does better office conversions, but I don't do enuf have an opinion. One annoyance is that LibreOffice does not play well with GoogleDrive. To fix that and more... * First thing I do to prep a container is install https://github.com/joedefen/crostini-kde-setup. * Then I used its MaintGUI to bring the container up to Debian Unstable in about one click (i.e., the latest apps, and "stability" is hardly a concern especially with a few apps ... the BIGGER danger is stale apps on the base Debian including LibreOffice). * Then I use its "Disable LibreOffice File Locking" button - to prep the system plus then tweak LibreOffice per the instructions. Then LibreOffice can deal with Google Drive files.
crostini-kde-setup makes the QT-based KDE apps work more perfectly, which includes KDE's Krita (which arguably is on par or better than GIMP; see https://www.slant.co/topics/3903/~best-linux-image-editing-tools). GIMP looks good, but I usually just take a pass that and use Krita. (BTW, the things crostina-kde-setup does are simple and contained in its few scripts, so you can borrow a few things; but I just use its MaintGUI and go with the flow).
So, off on a tangent a bit, but that's my 2 cents on your secondary concerns.
