   Gloves aren't really a mainstream consumer product yet in a way that you'd expect in the future. When I'm typing in VR, I have to put my controllers down to the side of the keyboard. Easy to pick them back up though. It certa

   Magic leap is creating glasses which overlay things onto the real world. These are VR headsets - your view is completely blocked.

   In 2014, I posted a chrome extension called UX Check ( http://uxcheck.co ) as a Show HN. It didn't get any traction, but a month later, somebody reposted it and it hit the front page. I received an amazing amount of encourage

   Yikes, that's bad. Do you use any accessibility settings like changing the font size on websites? Or are you on an older version of Chrome? Thanks for sharing.

   That was the most frustrating part of the project. I used the Open XML SDK for Javascript. There isn't a whole lot of documentation so it was a lot of guess and check. http://openxmldeveloper.org/wiki/w/wiki&#

   I used a Chrome extension API. One alternative I've heard is copying the DOM over into a separate canvas element, which you can save as an image. I haven't tried that yet though. https://developer.chrome.com/extens

    Thanks! V2 will support custom heuristics so hopefully that will help. I'll consider adding more severity ratings as well.

    Thanks! 1. There actually already is HTML output. My idea is that most people will likely copy/paste from HTML or a Word Doc to combine with their collaborators. From that perspective, PDF feels too 'finished'. And yeah, as s

    Good to know, thanks. Can you let me know the specific sites you tested it on? I'll take a look.

    Hi all - I created UX Check as a side project over the past few months and I'm glad that people are finding it to be helpful! There are some awesome suggestions in this thread and I'm already working on a v2, so feel free to keep

    I just finished with a side project. I knew going in that I would lose motivation for reasons left and right, even though it's the right project for me to work on. In order to keep up my motivation, I started "Side Projects Dinner

    Thanks! Any feedback welcome. And yes, I thought a bit about automation, but decided that it would likely be too hit and miss.

    Honestly, yes. I thought that it was some happy ad campaign for Jib Jab and that you were actually giving out free Santa calls. I was just about to share this with so many people, then I got hit with the price. It's not even expensive,

    Hm. Why don't they just limit the # of characters that can be typed in the title text box?

    What will make you appreciate the development cycle even more is that it was one guy, Chris Sawyer.
