I don't get it - why does the page keep calling me Bob?
- jamesshen 12y agoCuz our company is called "MobiusBobs" Bob is the most commonly used placeholder name in CS...
- curiouscats 12y agoIt would help if you have a short synopsis of what this is - for example if I want to share with others (like an about page). And if I could copy the text, it seems it is coded in a way that text isn't copyable which is lame (in my opinion). These mistakes are not uncommon. I often get the feeling in those cases that such pedestrian concerns are beneath the coolness of what we are doing. That is the impression I get (even if it is wrong). It feels to me like the Flash enthusiasts 10+ years ago, for example, making lots of restaurant sites that were highly unusable but looked pretty. I think, making it very easy for people to share info about worthwhile efforts is a good idea. I do really hope you all can make this a success. It seems to me to be a potentially very worthwhile effort.
- jamesshen 12y agoThanks for the encouragement and feedback, we will try to update our site to make it more easily sharable.
- na85 12y ago>It feels to me like the Flash enthusiasts 10+ years ago, for example, making lots of restaurant sites that were highly unusable but looked pretty IMO we've come full circle back to this "form over function" with every site requiring multiple js libraries. Whatever happened to good ol' static html with some CSS?
- NAFV_P 12y agoThat made me a bit paranoid at first, since my name is Robert.

- jamesshen 12y agoSorry man. Maybe I should fix this later, Bob. (Ok Robert I will fix this I promise)
- NAFV_P 12y agoYou don't have to do that, I read your other comment about 'Bob' being a common placeholder. Therefore I decided to gooooooooooooooooooooooooogle it [0]. [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_and_Bob http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_and_Bob
- pokoleo 12y agoThere are a few issues with your signup that stopped me from signing up: - Signup with Facebook is broken (invalid url?) - Private is spelled "privite" (incorrect) - Submitting a signup form missing one input causes it to clear out. - There is no clear indication that fields are mandatory. I guessed that you didn't need my school/job, but it looks like it was necessary. - Why do you need my school/job? - Dropdown boxes cannot be tabbed-between (tab button doesn't work) - When I move my mouse inputs move too.
