Нужен ли синопсис технической документации? Личный опыт разработки

Разработка документации на создаваемые ИТ-продукты – это не только «правила хорошего тона», но и насущная необходимость. Ведь без технического задания невозможно зафиксировать требования к продукту, без руководства пользователя сложно грамотно продуктом пользоваться, без технической документации, описывающей продукт, сложно будет искать и исправлять ошибки и проводить необходимые доработки, когда в них возникнет необходимость, и т.д.Обычно документацию делают по одному из двух путей – либо используют станда Read more

ONYX: self-hosted мессенджер с LAN-режимом — история одного инди-проекта

Когда смотришь на существующие self-hosted мессенджеры, часто видишь одно из двух: либо сложную инфраструктуру, которую непросто развернуть (Matrix/Synapse), либо минимализм без шифрования.
