Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

HN readers link his posts on Go modules, including a quick intro to go mod tidy, and a review of the DraftIn tool for tracking text changes. Comments cite them without judging the writing.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

I'm an accessible web application developer, educator, and author. I build accessible, hand-crafted web applications.

What Hacker News says?

  1. Go goes at least part-way there. https://golangbyexample.com/go-mod-tidy/ https://matthewsetter.com/go-mod-tidy-quick-intro/ You write your module source. You then run go mod tidy . This reads your sources for imports and automatically creates the go.mod and go.sum files What's nice about this is that it ensures reproducible builds, so you should add those files to your revision control repo.

  3. I loved to use DraftIn for this by YC alum Nathan Konty but it looks like it’s no more. https://matthewsetter.com/draftin-review/ It had a great intuitive UI to track diffs in prose that everyone and anyone could understand. (Truly exceptional and generous work Nate! Made my life better! Thank you!)
