Wow nice work. When I travel outside I usually use wikipedia to get a list of places where I should go. But a direct recommendation from friends is a lot better since wikipedia lists only places/things that are relatively popular. I th

It could be true but how come snap chat is worth so much and not what's app. Is it because they have actual revenue model while snapchat's value is speculative? I don't really understand how valuations work. I read somewhere

Big fan of Bill. As a kid I used to read comic strips of calvin and hobbes in our daily newspaper. That comic section was the only reason I bought the newspaper. When they stopped publishing the stips I stopped buying the paper :) Most of u

Fascinating. An average 60 year old man sleeps for 20 years (considering a normal 8 hr a day sleep) that is 1/3 of his life. A polar bear and some other hibernating animals sleep for half of their lives. Amazingly polar bear is cogniza

That was my first reaction too. I would love to read about his adventures. 23 years is a very long time travelling. I am not sure of my facts but Alexander the great traveled (or was on an expedition) for about 15 years. He has far surpass

Nice work. I don't know much about hardware programming but if I manage to recreate it I am going to use it on Christmas :) How much did it cost you?

First of all I would recommend that you go through code samples in to do mvc http://todomvc.com/ Read or try out a few libraries so you can get a feel for them. For fronted development I use knockout js. Their documentation

Well I am looking for the exact opposite. Focusing my "programming energy" for my own stuff while having a source of income from some other job. I have found nothing yet though.

First of all great job guys. The website looks really good even better than HN. One thing I dislike is the scroll bar in the middle. It makes navigation a bit cumbersome in my opinion. I see you are using redis! It would be great if you cou

Nice work guys. I especially like the integrated pricing system. Adding a means of payment is a tricky aspect of a product. If that is taken care of well it saves a lot of time.

Fantastic commitment. Gives me inspiration to roll up my sleeves and start my next project.

I dont think it is in built but screen capture should work.

by brickcap 13y ago
How did you implement the filters though?

Very cool.

Ah I get it. Yeah I will redo them.

No problem man. I will look to add syntax highlighting by default in specter. Anyway I updated the pages to have the feeds into them by default so it does not cause any confusion.

Ah thanks for letting me know. I had opened an issue to change my implementation but I guess I will leave it now. Thanks once again.

by brickcap 13y ago
It is already built into specter. Use the urls /feed/rss and /feed/atom So all you got to do is add an anchor tag that points to these urls. Settings can be set in the preferences file. Regarding syntax highlighting... C

I have a question... >Specter takes the elegant/lazy approach of not using sessions at all - access to edit and create pages is entirely via url, and permission to actually perform those changes is granted by including a 'secre

Why thank you sir for this detailed write up! You did a great job.

You mean the the themes? Well I just added them to demonstrate that all you need to is change the css from boostrap to bootswatch in order to change the theme. http://bootswatch.com/

Well I have never worked with MathJax but from the cursory glance it looks like all you need to do is add js files and you can do that in specter.

Giving credit where it is due. Specter was inspired by simple https://github.com/gschier/simple-blog I wrote about it here http://www.staticshin.com/inspiration-behind-specter

ha ha nice one. With lots of free time and nothing much to do I thought I might as well build something that people can use until ghost comes around.

by brickcap 13y ago
Sorry about that. There is only so much that I can write on a project page. It has to grab attention. I wrote in detail about specter and what I learnt building it on my blog, if you care to read you can go on the link below. http:/&#
