Agree that close to the metal threeJS gets you best performance but don’t sleep on Unity WebGL. They announced at their Unite conference a few months ago they were gonna add proper mobile support for it. Nice to see them investing. Also sha

Pretty cool feature set. Didn't realize you could do things like "remember where I parked" automatically.

Doing a startup is really hard. Emotionally grueling and demanding. You have to fight for every 100 users you get. At a bigger company you get 100k's or millions of users "automatically". Right now, I'm more interested in building world

I'm a user and their service is different from Google Voice. It's a professional sounding 1-800/voicemail system intended for business, not personal use. "Push 1 for customer service, Push 2 for sales" type of thing.

Grasshopper is a pretty cool service, had some clunky UI though. We use it at BumpTop.com. They mailed us some chocolate covered grasshoppers recently as a mktg campaign, kinda crazy.

1.6 million files break down in most viewing paradigms. In BumpTop you can turn on "infinite workspace" and you can have thousands of files. Then use pile by type or date to automatically make that more manageable.

BumpTop already works on any folder :) We have an experimental "Bump This Folder" shell extension, which provides a little button in Windows Explorer that turns the current view into a BumpTop. It needs to be enabled in the BumpTop setting

We just recently looked at a few options and pbwiki beats them all. WYSIWYG and elegant. It seems ultra expensive but you can negotiate a pretty dope rate. We got $100/year for unlimited users and stuff. Call that 1-888 number and work t

I wouldn't say our average tester has given us $25 worth of testing. But some definitely have, even more than $25 worth. Separating these after the fact is potentially sticky.

Nice. I like the suggestion of giving beta users a free copy of software if they found a bug you didn't know about.

How deep of a discount would make sense? We're looking at a $25-30 price point. We plan on having a Free and Pro version. The Free version will have a generous helping of the features. It'll be fully functional and not crippled. The Pro

There is a official procedure that companies can use to dispute the domain name if you're trying to hustle them that costs them about $1000-2500. I forget what its called but if you look at past cases you'll see a lot of people trying to h

Zoomii.com is a nice completely javascript version by a friend from a canadian startup. Focused completely on books. Zoomii's really impressive. Its speed makes google maps feel slow.

Nitpick #2, Jeff Han references that he's implementing this rigid as possible paper at about 8:20. Jeff is a big fan of research and implements a lot of existing techniques invented by others in his demos. I work in the same lab as Tomer w
