I rarely sign up for betas but this is pretty intriguing. Great job, I look forward to giving this a more in-depth tire-kicking.

Get over yourself. The guy wrote something that suited his own needs and released it so that others could use it too if they wanted. Programmers ported it to other languages because they liked the idea and wanted to see it thrive -- I've us

bonus points if the company was trying to adapt and evolve and innovate instead of clinging to a pre-internet business model. I agree with your basic point, but I really hate this argument -- it's a "blame the victim" justification. Compa

I've been looking for a news app that I like for iPhone for a while now. The NYTimes app was my go-to, until they made it subscription only (I would happily pay for the app if they would just let me). I thought Flipboard held some promise,

That's exactly what I did as a kid. It almost always worked, except on the very stingiest cartridges. Edit: Downvote? Come on...

Millions of babies have trouble latching for whatever reason, so maybe there is no true universally intuitive interface.

A service like this really needs rock-solid UX and this just isn't there yet. But this has enormous potential, and I'll definitely keep an eye on it.

I asked a straightforward question about whether an app that can't be used to create a spreadsheet should be considered a spreadsheet app, and because of that I "represent one of the worst forces at work in the world." I neither ridiculed n

One feature that’s still missing, though, is actually running spreadsheet-style calculations on your numbers in Grid. Doesn't this preclude Grid from being a spreadsheet app?

I've never been much of a reader, but I absolutely loved these books when I was a kid. Finding one I hadn't read yet at the school library was like finding hidden treasure. RIP Mr. Sobol, you brought many children a lot of joy.

I grew up in Virginia Beach -- you won't find much in the way of overheated rhetoric in the public discourse.

Why does "third party apps" get to count as Android already having a feature that iOS currently doesn't have?

Mission Control, as defined in the video, is absolutely brilliant, and in a perfect world would replace the current method for app switching. I also love the "swipe from the bottom" implementation, though honestly even keeping the current h

I think your point actually reinforces the quote you disagree with. You say people with high levels of both skill sets are "very very rare," which is probably true, but that's exactly why the companies who have those people will become th

I work at a marketing agency and I wholeheartedly agree with everything on this list. While some people will read the article and think "advertising on Facebook is a bad investment," the real takeaway should be "advertising anywhere will be

I would add a ninth reason -- perceived length. Over the course of my career, it's been proven true that conversion rates are higher when the shorter the form appears to be. Basically, don't ask for anything that isn't necessary from a data

I love the concept (and the speed, my God! ) but one thing that really bugs me is the to-do list area -- it seems as though it could use a similar treatment as the discussion area. The long line lengths plus the inconsistent comment badge

I worked on a project recently where the previous designer did this and it was absolutely maddening . Switching the box model can be useful sometimes, but it makes no sense to me why you would do this globally.

I'd go back to school and get a BFA in Graphic Design and an MS in Human-Computer Interaction. (I have a BSBA in Information Systems.)

This is a great idea, but I have some constructive criticism about your marketing site: 1) Basically, I think the slideshow is pretty ineffective. a) Why is the first slide a picture of tree branches? It doesn't help me understand what the

But don't you think that this practice is indicative of a larger problem -- that regardless of which major party is in power, corporations can't lose?

To everyone who thinks DHH and 37signals overreacted to this, keep in mind that the IA/UI paradigm introduced in Basecamp has been aped by many startups in their web apps with nary a whiff of public complaint. It's one thing to copy the d

I consider the public library to be the secular society's equivalent of a church -- a place where the entire community can freely meet and exchange ideas, where mind and spirit can be enlightened through knowledge. I fear as libraries go, s

Wow, I'm pretty surprised to see such a collectively sensitive reaction to this post. Try to see things from this guy's perspective -- this comes across as a guy who's grown really tired of being bombarded by terrible resumes. Then, the few
