Just want to clear things up here: the Sails framework is actively maintained and widely used. For context, I am its creator and BDFL. @eashaw is lead maintainer and community manager. @DominusKelvin also maintains an active supplementary community called SailsCasts. https://sailsjs.com/support has a full list of resources you might want to check out. As far as what that means: there's a daily check for vulnerable code paths, a weekly roundup of community GitHub issues/PRs, and active development as needed to fix any priority bugs. This is all funded by Flagship customers and supplemented by my continued personal financial commitment to keep the Sails framework alive.

This will continue for many years to come.

How to name a noun

Some of the naming conventions we use at Sails for nouns like variables, parameters, property names, config settings, database attributes/columns/fields, and so on.

Why bother?

Naming is hard. And naming conventions usually end up being wrong, or incomplete at best.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but in my experience, coming up with new methodologies for variables and such doesn't usually create a lot of value for an individual developer. So why bother?

To allow emojis for one of your attributes when using Node.js / Sails / Waterline

Use the following auto-migration directive for MySQL:

columnType: 'LONGTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4',// « allow emojis

In Fontawesome, the icon for the red circle with a slash through it is called "fa-ban"

Like a "no smoking" sign, but just the circle part

fontawesome 4.7.0: https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/cheatsheet/

Making this gist because I forget how to find it literally every time I want to use it

Normal flow and display:inline

display:inline things work like text
<img> elements are technically display:inline by default. But that's dumb
To center a display:inline element, put text-align:center on the parent
