• Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?

  For anyone looking for a modern alternative to Visual Basic, you might want to take a look at Xojo. Xojo's a rapid application development platform (both a language and an IDE) that you can use to develop desktop apps (for macOS, Windows, Linux), Web apps, mobile apps (for iOS and Android), as well as console apps.

• How to set up HTTPS/SSL/TLS for a .dev domain, django/wagtail, Nginx, and docker/docker-compose
