Nosedive as in potentially disastrous. It's a matter of semantics. Pebble sold $10 million of units via Kickstarter. Mainstream or not, I'd consider that a mild form of success at the least. And Apple has been able to do that, but their tec

Funnel is a big one. I don't think anyone else has this (besides D3 - but you can do basically anything with D3).

Patents and suing aside, I think Apple's nosedive into the watch industry is a really interesting one considering their past. Traditionally, they enter new product lines with great hesitation and deliberation, but it almost seems like in th

I'm pleasantly surprised that this product passed Kickstarter's (increasingly) stringent guidelines for acceptable projects

I'm curious to see how the whole 'forking/cloning' concept is replicated here, especially if Pixelapse is seeking to become the Github for design. I'm fairly certain that the restrictions for use of graphic content in a public format is a l

Following the Peter Thiel point, I think that the education system is currently flawed in the way that it sets up the end goal as being college. From the beginning (elementary), kids are trained to get good grades to get into a great colleg

But most online retailers implement some sort of 'popular' tag. Maybe Storenvy has more sophisticated algorithms behind-the-scenes that I'm unaware of

Storenvy has an interesting model, but I'm a bit skeptical about their scalability. I started a fashion brand in HS (backpacks, apparel) and we launched a Storenvy store pretty much off the bat since there was no cost. The issue is that the

See my comment above. This is what I use for scroll animations: http://prinzhorn.github.com/skrollr/ . It's super easy to implement and use.

This is one way to replicate the scroll magic from this annual report: http://prinzhorn.github.com/skrollr/ . It's really user-friendly and uses keyframes for timed actions based on scroll position.

Sometimes I wonder if Twitter itself has internal tools to measure/visualize things like this. Kudos, the project looks great!

Or you could just use Bitbucket haha

I've been waiting for this for a while. Although git is my preferred method of working, for people who aren't technical and who just can't do stuff from terminal, I think this is a great alternative.

Ok got it, sounds pretty cool

Isn't this similar to Gumroad?

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if a tool like this exists on the imdb/rotten tomatoes side to see if a listing is available for Instant Viewing on Netflix?

There's definitely room in the market for several players (in terms of the whole crowd-design/manufacturing space), but I think that down the road, there will be one clear winner. At the end of the day, this industry is a network effects ga

Very surprised that Elon Musk was runner-up for founder. The guy is tackling some of the toughest, most important problems in the world that most fear of even thinking about. Not to diminish Kevin Systrom's accomplishments, but I just think

Maybe it's just me, but the FB Graph Search intro video seemed to be more of an objective-based searching tool. I (probably stupidly) assumed it could serve as a sidekick to Google search. Forgot that the majority of Facebook users use the

Trello is absolutely incredible (and they have a really receptive development team). I've used them for development, marketing, HR, etc and have yet to be disappointed. Mobile version is also kickass.

I think the press plays way too much of an emphasis on founders. The early team (first 5-10 members) form the basis of an organization, more so than just the founder. Obviously, the founder sets the tone for the company, but the first team

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but if you watch the video on the bottom part of the page with Zuck, one of them explicitly says how this product competes with Google. Something about how if two people search for Apple on Google,

Sometimes what helps me is poring through WP themes or frameworks to get ideas for placement, sizing, etc. This is a great resource, though.

I might be alone here, but I've found that it's much easier to put together a high-fidelity PSD that details every intricacy of a site or app before writing a line of code. So, I end up spending more time designing the app/site than actuall
