   There was no A record for www.tonicdev.com. I added one, and a redirect so nobody goes there.

   This project has been around an extremely long time (I believe since around 2008). I'm not sure it's even being updated at this point.

   Nope. That team is doing really interesting work.

   The settings UI is pretty... bare bones at the moment. We'll hopefully have something much better in the near future.

   Thanks for pointing out Juno, looks like a useful tool. I had never heard of it before, and it did not influence our work. I suspect some things might look similar to you since some of both of our websites use bootstrap, but I'd go so

    Thanks, it should be fixed once our next deploy pushes out.

    Could be pretty cool. One thing you can _almost_ do is make custom visualizations. There's an HTML viewer, so if you can build a function that turns an object into html, you can build yourself a custom display. We're hoping to mak

    Thanks for the report, I'll take a look. Can I ask what browser you're using? The hide on keypress thing doesn't seem to happen for me.

    Good to know :). We have some ideas on how we might integrate with local files, hopefully we'll be trying some of them soon.

    I recommend requiring "request-promise", which is a drop in replacement for "request". Here's the docs on sending custom HTTP headers with that package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/request#cus

    We use docker pretty extensively, and so between each code cell we can evaluate the layered filesystem docker provides for changes and save them.

    Building text editors is such a minefield of personal opinions :) Someday there will probably be preferences for all of this, but we wanted to focus on the core experience first and get something out there people could use.

    It can't be run locally. Some of the feature we've built would be really difficult if not impossible to run offline. That said, maybe someday a paired down version for local use would make sense.

    Although we have every package, not every package with binary dependencies builds easily. So some of those will show up as not being available. But if you send us an email with the package info we'll fix it.

    Yup. The time travel stuff is somewhat transparent and hard to talk about. If you think of the document as a .js file, than it is pretty easy to reason about what will happen. Things are just executed in order. The magic is that we don&#x2

    Possibly, depending on how much demand we see. You can obviously kind of hackily use coffeescript right now by just requiring the package, but that's not a real solution.

    And for what it's worth, it took a hell of a lot longer than a couple of months to build something useful. Years later and it still isn't a full port of what was available at the time in Cocoa.

    Illiquid founders are, generally speaking, majority shareholders. Hard to argue they are not looking out for shareholder interests.

    Most of the things you do for a user are not blocking, that's the whole point of node. Instead of blocking, almost everything is done with asynchronous callbacks.

    I'd say its extremely difficult to give you a good answer without knowing what you are trying to build. Is the goal to be able to add some interactivity to otherwise relatively static or content driven websites? Do you want to long run

    In addition to verifying you are hitting an index for all of your queries, you should verify that all of your indexes are in memory. Depending on the size of your dataset, trying to fit more (or all) of it in memory may be an option worth t

    That's not really the case. For one, it's incredibly easy to end up with very bloated CSS files if you use something like less/sass. But more importantly, those tools don't give you actual scoping. Although it's not

    I'm sorry people copied your work. I've been there, and I know how frustrating it can be. But you should probably just get over it. This is the reality of the tech world. Good ideas that are easy to copy will be copied. I'm n

    Although I have no first hand or even second hand experience here, there are somewhat widely reported stories of companies saying "accept this demotion as well as a reduction in your stock options, or be fired," to which there&#x2
