When people at home bring up Spotify and Netflix, they often discuss the content these platforms provide. But inside the developer community we do ...

dev.to is working off of Basecamp's ideas a decade and a half ago. Of course, so are GitHub and many others.
Of course, we plan to become big centers of gravity for this kind of stuff ourselves, but we don't have the custom scaling issues just yet.
Robinhood strikes me as a rapidly growing startup that could make a big impact on open source because they probably have the momentum to benefit from community involvement. You never know how that fits culturally though.
This is currently their most popular repo on GitHub:
An Android text view with scrolling text change animation
Migrating to version 2
There are some breaking API changes introduced in ticker 2.0. Please refer to the 2.0 migration doc.
What is Ticker?
Ticker is a simple Android UI component for displaying scrolling text. Think about how an odometer scrolls when going from one number to the next, that is similar to what Ticker does The Ticker handles smooth animations between strings and also string resizing (e.g. animate from "9999" to "10000").
You can specify how the animations proceed by defining an array of characters in order. Each character displayed by Ticker is controlled by this array which dictates how to animate from a starting character to a target character. For example, if you just use a basic ASCII character list, when animating from 'A' to 'Z', it will go from 'A' -> 'B' -> ... 'Z'. We will perform wrap-around animation when it's faster (e.g. 'Z' to…

Didn't know about Robinhood at all, I see they released a stream processing library in Python, neat! They've also had half a billion dollars (!!!) in funding, that buys you a lot of time and space to dedicate full time resources to open source (as in having full time employees working mostly on those libraries and frameworks).
For some reason I didn't even know Next and Hyper were from Zeit.
I wonder what's the story behind all of these released tools. How they started, how they got here, why they decided to open source them and so on.
BTW what is it with fintech companies and Python? :-D
I could have probably picked any company, but Robinhood popped into my mind as a software-based company with a lot of momentum but not so big the whole world has heard of them.

As a Python dev I can say that it’s popular with fintech most likely because it is one of the big players in data science right now, but also has great support for building for the web and REST APIs with DRF, Flask, Respnder, etc. I’m not, by any means saying, that Python is the best at any of these things. However, it is a great all-rounder that allows companies to use the same stack to rapidly go from idea to prototype to launch on all fronts. SciKit, Numpy, Pandas, SQLAlchemy or Django ORM, and a plethora of web scraping and data aggregation tools to do you “money stuff”. The. Use the same language to build the API and/or web app to serve it all to customers.
A decent team can make this happen very quickly due to Python’s ease of use and you’ve got a decent chance of launching before somebody can steal your idea and launch before you which, I imagine, is a big deal where financial tech is involved. Not sure if those are the absolute reasons, but that’s why I personally believe it is so popular with data-driven and financial companies right now.
Eh eh I was half joking. A decade ago at my very first job they were doing data science in fintech, in Python (nobody knew it was called data science nor fintech :D). There's a long history of Python as a favorite tool in academia and science, and it is really easy to integrate with C and C++, and lots of numerical libraries where. Also, Boost Python was in vogue.
Yeah, rapid prototyping and the fact it can scale with the company (and be even replaced when there's need to) is one of the reasons why people like Python. The enourmous amount of tools is another.
Whoops! Sorry. Took that just a trifle too literally. Ma bad!!
Don't be sorry, I learned something 😂
Python is still my go to language
