Can you custom display reviewCount in Branch.io banner? - branch.io

Currently, I'm passing in the reviewCount as a number (reviewCount: 1500), so it displays like so:

Is there a way to customize it so it will appear as (1,500) instead?

Alex from Branch.io here:
It sounds like you're using our legacy smart banner library. This has been deprecated for a while, and so the functionality is quite basic. It doesn't offer a lot of options, including this one.
You should consider upgrading to the newer Journeys module. It's still free for basic banners, and this formatting (1,500) is now the default.

#fluent-ui/react vs #fluent-ui/react-northstar

I'm looking for some guideline what's the difference between #fluent-ui/react and #fluent-ui/react-northstar. This documentation (READMEs) are super imprecise. I'm don't understand which one to use for what.
I'm writing that react-component to be ran in webapp and the word plugin. Do you know which one to go for? They both look a bit different and feels that theming works a bit different.
You should use fluent-ui/react-northstar if you want to develop apps for Microsoft Teams, else you should use the normal fluent-ui.
If you look at a simple example of a dropdown, you will see that there is quite a lot of difference between the two. Northstar's dropdown combines the features of the dropdown with combobox.
northstar:

normal:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui#/controls/web/dropdown
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui#/controls/web/combobox
Another to take into consideration is that Northstar's scope is limited to Web / Desktop at present.

what happened to dialogs in the facebook sdk beta?

the old SDK has dialog methods to present a simple UI for various tasks. this call has been removed from the SDK beta, and there doesn't seem to be anything to replace it. how are we supposed to implement this stuff now?
Are you referring to Facebook's Dialogs?
if so, those are supported in the 3.0 version of the iOS SDK via the DeprecatedHeaders
There are more details here, the example is specifically for the Feed Dialog:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/feed-dialog-using-ios-sdk/
Igy's answer is correct, and the link he listed is a good place to start when you need to use the deprecated headers.
Adding some details in terms of our plans; as you know we are starting to provide more native implementations for UI such as the FBFriendPickerViewController, etc. Meanwhile, there is still a need for UIWebView-based dialogs, and we will be adding additional support to the SDK for both native and webview dialogs. For now we are leaning on our backward compatibility with the previous SDK for dialog support. This gives us a chance to gather feedback on the direction we are taking the SDK, which will help to inform our future direction with dialogs and UI features in general.
Hopefully this helps to clarify the thinking a bit. We are eager to hear any feedback you have on the new UI components in the SDK. Thanks!

How does Safari's reader feature work?

I want to add a similar feature to a tool I'm making. I'm interested in how it works code-wise. I want to be able get an html page and exclude all but the article.
The Readability project does something similar for chrome and iOS. I'm not sure how it detects the content automatically but I know that Readability has an API for people who want to integrate it's features. You might want to check that out.

If you're working with Ruby, you could use Pismo. It extracts an article from a given document.

Is there a non-Adobe equivalent of Axiis?

I want something like Axiis, but without using Flex or other Adobe products.
Have a look at the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit. Also, maybe the gRaphaël charting library (built on top of Raphaël) can suit your needs.
Others:
Ajax.org
Google Chart API
flot
Style Chart
Bluff
JS Charts
jqPlot
pChart
ExtJS
Vizualize
TufteGraph
milkchart
DojoX Data Chart
jQChart
PlotKit
See whether one of these suits your needs best.
The closest I can think off the top off my head is Google Visualization API
Of course, AFAIK, this will only work for on-line applications. And is Google any less evil than Adobe is a question for you to decide :)
This is a pretty open question, as you havent specified any preference for any particular technology or language.
I do a lot of WPF/C# stuff so I immediately start looking on that stack. Assuming that this would be a suitable platform, then Visifire might be worth looking at... I originally found them here on codeplex.
There seem to be a ton of third party paid for components that can do similar things. Telerik has some visualization tools that may also be worth having a look at.
Is thre any specific scenario that you are looking at, or any specific language? I think we may be able to suggest better alternatives if that was provided.
You could try protovis (JavaScript), looks quite similar.
You can use jqChart - HTML5 jQuery Chart Plugin

Excel bug tracking + link to code line?

I'm a small developer in VB6 and VB.net, and use for bugtracking a simple Excel. Seemed to me that I didnt need anything more.
I've wanted to add links to the code. Then:
How can I do it for vb6 and for vs.net?
Is this reasonable? Should I change to a (free) bugtracking tool? Do they have this functionality?
There's a list of bug-trackers in this question.
Do you want to link source code changes to particular bug fixes? That means integrating your bug-tracker with your version-control / revision-control system. (You do have version control, right? It's essential.) You could check the Wikipedia bug-tracker comparison table looking at the revision control integration column.
FogBugz is popular on StackOverflow, I hear it does integrate with version control, and it is free for one-person companies. Disclaimer: it was developed by a founder of Stack Overflow, so that may bias StackOverflow users in its favour slightly.
