AdminBro - a Modern Admin Panel for Node JS - This doesn’t render very well on mobile but I find the idea for the project interesting, being able to quickly spin up an admin UI on a Nodejs based app would be very cool, and I like that it isn’t tied into a specific product, because usually the admin panel is tied to the product like for example Wordpresswww.inkoop.io #

Ray Kurzweil on what the future holds next (2018) - The entire interview was fascinating, but what struck me most having listened to it today was how common sense it all sounds, I think if I had listened to such an interview say 5 years ago I either wouldn’t have believed it was real or it would have melted my mind - Also if everything happens at logarithmic rates as he says then these “no way / melted mind” situations are going to start happening a lot more frequently, perhaps even daily, which I imagine might get quite annoying and tedious, maybe just post a link to your linkblog and move on with the rest of the day...

The matrix I guess... in an attempt to be vaguely positive about this I ask - maybe it will run nodejs?daringfireball.net #
