Yeah, that's true. I like using it more as a launchpad for ideas. It's definitely not going to generate the next Flickr!

If there's nothing here that is satisfactory, then it's quite easy to generate random pronounceable words, just alternate between vowels and consonants. As an example: https://github.com/Stuk/generate-words

I was thinking along similar lines last week with regards to APIs. Obviously you want people to use them, and they only will if they're understandable and useful. It would be good to have something like http://fivesecondtest.com/ , where p

Very true, but just because you can't help everyone doesn't mean you shouldn't help someone.

This makes me think of this research [0] where students on a photography course had to choose one photo they took to take home. One half was allowed to swap after a few days, the others weren't: "Compared with experiencers whose decisions w

This is a genuine question: what do you mean by "Don't let the title fool you"?

You would have to ask Github, as they own the copyright to Octocat.

I think the problem most people had with Wave's scrollbars is that they didn't indicate the height/length of the document very well. The Canonical design above has solved this by retaining the visual indicator.

I've used http://paper.li/ to create a "newspaper" from my personal twitter feed ( http://paper.li/Stuidge ). I follow people I'm interested in, and paper.li picks up their links and gives me an interesting daily summary. This isn't quit

Exactly what I was thinking. Sure you can work incredibly hard for 2/3 days, but at the end of it all you are going to be very tired. I don't think it would be physically possible to do this for a whole month. I really would love to try som

This looks very interesting. If you're interested in testing on browsers with their heads intact, have a look at the Watir project, for which Opera has just released an implementation to complete the set: http://operawatir.com Disclaimer:

Yes, soon after posting I realised it wasn't the best idea I've ever had. I regret posting this before the Github guys got a chance to fix the hole. Not something I'm going to repeat.

Ahh yes, this tiny application is a permanent part of my Windows tool kit. Absolutely fantastic for finding out where all the disk space has gone.

Then I'm afraid you must have missed something. If, for example (as it was the first net screenshot I found) you enter "bella" into the top left search box, you get back this: http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/files/2009/08/spotify_deskto...

From the reddit conversation: you can return any market app within 24 hours for a refund. Seems a bit cheeky, but it does allow you to demo it.

This is a really interesting idea, one that I would seriously consider subscribing to. I imagine having someone phone/Skype you would push the price up a lot though. Possibly an email service, although that slightly removes the personal co

Hi, as I said to Groxx, this was just a quick hack, hopefully nothing to take too seriously. There are definitely improvements that could be made, for example looking at the direction of travel, and if someone wants to try implementing them

Hi, I just put this together quickly to see what it feels like when used on a web page rather than an artificial environment, it wasn't intended as a fully featured interaction method. In fact even while playing around with it myself I foun
