   Love that standards are being written in the discussion here. As each standard hits 90% I'm going to write a detailed post on the use of them which will go with the email - I've made a start on user-select. I'd be happy to

   I think there's an RSS feed at caniuse.com so that should probably be the primary source. But it's been requested a couple of times so I'll write it on a list and get it up at some point.

   Good points. On the comments:upvotes ratio - I think there's two types of submission. Blog or newsy stuff invites discussion and comments. But other things, like Show HNs, for instance, might be upvoted for being useful but without a

   I built this over the weekend because browser support is a moving feast. I'd find myself exploring SVG, thinking "That's great - I can't wait to use it." And then not noticing that there is basically 95% support n

    Snapchat and pinterest are the two anomalies in that list. The rest are real businesses with meaningful revenue.

    Good points. It doesn't address the fact that Apple Pay is currently only usable in the US. And it will be forever limited to those with the latest iOS device and credit cards. My point is that Bitcoin provides more functionality than

    The insurmountable problem so far on these cargo airships is ballast. It's what killed off the Cargolifter Project (as I read while sitting naked under a palm tree in its former hangar. [0]) Their killer use case is moving heavy stuff

    :) I used to go to Tropical Islands every weekend when I was sleeping in a van in Berlin. It's an amazing place from an engineering point of view. And the spa is the best I've ever been to.

    One weird trick to get website traffic. Flagged. Pure clickbait bullshit. > This situation is almost unique. Except for the iPad. Which was exactly the same situation.

    Looks like you're covering a lot of ground there. I wondered how you were getting away without a backend and that led me to Firebase which I'll investigate tomorrow (admittedly about two years late). Happy hacking!

    I like that idea. Sadly no-one seems to have a database of images of the spines of books. All I'm doing at the moment is pulling the color at (x:5,y:5) from the cover image and using that for the spine. It's not exact but good

    Yeah, it's very annoying when stuff doesn't work on a phone. I'll be honest - I didn't actually expect anyone to print a book. I don't even own a printer so I haven't tested it!

    I half considered approaching Amazon with this for an April Fools gimmick but I thought I'd just get lost in some bureaucracy there. Always nice to get some eyeballs! I didn't expect any interest in this really - as it's ult

    This is true. I downloaded The Game onto my kindle to see what people were talking about and then lent it to my girlfriend which created some questions. It's a silly project (almost arty in its pointlessness). I can't remember w

    True, sorry - It should have a popup message for phones saying it probably doesn't work. I've made zero effort to get it working on phones since you can't print from them anyway. It's just a bit of playfun really!
