Hello, dear friends! I am trying to breathe life into my reddit community /r/gifexplainer which is dedicated to educational slide-based GIFs, that are like knowledge cards. The idea is to explore the possibilities of microlearning and create a community that creates and shares this type of educational content. I am planning to run a marathon of creating first 99 GIFs on my own. So I request your assistance in identifying 99 ideas from all areas of knowledge that have value for a common curious person and are easy to express in up to 5 slides. Thank you in advance!

My product is featured on BitsDuJour today, and early in the morning I got a purchase notification with dramatically familiar name and email. I refunded the order right away and contacted the person with anger and frustration. I always give away free licenses of my product to people I connect with personally, so it was very disappointing to know that someone I know so well tried to buy a license instead of just asking for it. She replied that asking for a free license of a 299USD product was unacceptable for her self-esteem and the full price was too high so she took advantage of the discount. Oh well...

Now I am left with mixed emotions. Is it OK after all to sell to your friends? Given that it is not a physical product and it does not cost me much to give it for free. Furthermore there may be others who even felt uncomfortable when I angrily rejected their money...

What is your experience with situations like this?

If yes, what motivates you to join?

Hello!

Disclaimer: I am the author of Helpinator software documentation and technical writing tool.

As a coder myself I usually apply programming approach to documentation and Helpinator is more than an IDE for documentation than an editor. Recently I was thinking about the ways I usually refactor documentation and the tools needed for it. The result was a blog post [1] on how to perform documentation refactoring using tools already built into Helpinator. But I have a feeling that I am missing some important things and I didn't implement tools for them yet. What I have so far: extract topic, extract subtopic, merge topics, move text selection to topic, massive TOC reorder. What else one might need to quickly refactor documentation?
