seems like a really dry introduction. Tons of info I'm sure but anything called an "Introduction" seems like it would be friendlier.

yep... I set it as my default. Now FF is just for development until Chrome has extensions and firebug comes over.

it's been out like 3 days. I agree that it seems dumb so far but google has released tons of stuff that seemed half baked and then over time gets better. I remember everyone hating google talk when it first came out. No one liked Google new

Facebook's marketplace failed cause it wasn't a core product and they didn't want to advertise it. I'll bet most members didn't even know it was there.

Not to be harsh but I think you really need to work on that logo. your page design is pretty strong but the logo is the weakest thing on the page. It's very hard to get a logo to look both freehand/scribly as well as professional. Either yo

yeah. I would use an Image instead of HTML. If you check 37 Signals all their big text are images cause they can just be made to look better.

yeah it's all network effect and branding. Kijiji has been having problems finding a foot hold anywhere. Just the same way olx.com has got gotten big in the USA but is big internationally. http://www.flugpo.com At flugpo we are building a

whatever happened to the "focus on the business" mindset? It seems building your own blog past the basics a frame work can do would eventually be more work then just using wordpress. Unless your businesses is blogging perhaps your efforts a

yes it has it's faults. But it has to be designed-by-committee no matter what. While you might only count 3 or 4 browsers as "counting" there are dozens. And if they can't agree on something we will be back to the old days of IE and Netscap

at the very least this is an old argument. Dvorak said they same thing back in 2006. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,1987181,00.asp A lot of the stuff you want to do is in the "standard" but you need 3 or 4 browsers to all implement

"I can't assume that designers know CSS" sad but true. I often forget that such a large % of web designer are kinda crap when it comes to the technology that they design for. It's like painting with out brushes. You need to know the medium

Articles like this are always a little shallow and not really informational. There are plenty of CSS workgroups that can explain why CSS does or doesn't do something. As frustrating as the slow pace of CSS advancement goes they do have smar

at Flugpo.com our developer brings his laptop in and plugs in a separate keyboard and a separate screen and basically ignores the laptop. Which seems to fit your criteria.

they haven't already? Last I heard Laptop greatly out sell desktops. I think boxes will be around for a long time. Servers. Custom made systems. But as a consumer devise it's been in trouble for a while.

Almost any device that connect to a network these days is really just something you are renting.

OXL is big over seas in Europe. At Flugpo we are trying to build a craigslist competitor as well though we still have some work to do before we are ready for the big time. http://www.flugpo.com

wow... lot of anger both ways. All I know is a as a designer at a startup I almost never use photoshop. I use a pen and then I do mockups in HTML, CSS, and javascript. It's definitely the fastest way for web applications.

by STHayden 18y ago
yeah I would agree with that... I think at the way low end you mostly get very inexperienced people who have little to no experience oftain coupled with little to no skill. They may commit to a price but can't deliver on quality. It doesn't

I agree.. us UI designers are rare on HN. Hiring locally could be really good.. In general I think it's hard to find some one with an application portfolio though. Most are advertisement websites and it can be hard to gauge if their portfol

In my opinion 37 signals has the best job board with the best jobs. But personally I think the people applying also expect a better wage\price to come with that. For companies to attract truly the best UI designers I do think they have to p

"there is very little correlation between price and quality". to a point. While design can often have a rang of price there can be a clear difference between paying some one a living wage and not. This number can vary international but it's

It's cool to see other designers with a strong design sense that can also code... some times I feel a little alone in that respect. Seems useful for startups but not so great for finding a job else where.
