   Did you find that the generalisation of this model of software development was supported/not-supported in some way by the results being discussed here?

   I'm a little wary of inferring anything from browser stats taken from a website which exclusively serves developers - I'd probably expect a higher proportion of firefox users in that demographic. I'd love to see something lik

   It's a shame you were downvoted here, you're asking a pretty interesting question.

   Thanks for the feedback! Looking at each point individually: 1. We went with a map over a series of pie charts as we'd like to create something a bit more engaging for the user. 2. Agreed: The blur is causing me several issues, and is

   Have since added global totals to the key at the top right, working on per-country totals over the next few days. Thanks again.

   I love this idea. Will probably start with the global breakdown first. Thanks for taking a look for us!

   Ah this sucks, sorry about that. I think I've found the source of this and it should be sorted now. Thanks for taking a look!

   I was planning to give it a day (give the server a rest), but somebody beat me to it: http://www.reddit.com/r/Scotland/comments/2ej5kk/scottish_in...

    Hi Andrew. Thanks for the feedback, have updated the copy on the 'welcome' message to reflect this. (This message is only displayed to first-time users of the site.)

    Hi there, thanks for the feedback! 1. I'm looking at the way google maps heatmaps lump results together at different zoom levels. If anyone has any experience with this, I'd love to hear about it. 2. This is exactly right. On the

    Hi, thanks for all the feedback. I love the bookdepository.com user experience with the live updates. We'll be working on this as we get closer to the date! Auto detection of location is proving to be a bit tricky - we're seeing a

    Really appreciate you taking the look. The site is still very much up, could you try reloading the page?

    You're right - we haven't done this yet as we anticipated most of the traffic to come from mobile devices. I will have a look an manually entering location today (now wondering if an address search box is better, or "drop a p

    I think you're absolutely right. I was considering adding some noise to the lat longs collected to mitigate this. We're looking at the copy (to better highlight what data is stored and displayed). Thank you for the feedback.

    This is massively useful, I was looking for a way to 'aggregate' results somewhat. I will read through this today and might send you a question or two later on if you don't mind.

    Thanks for the feedback! You make a good point: We're asking before we're giving anything. Completely understandable to deny location services. Would your preference be to see the heatmap worldwide before being asked for your loca

    The (Scottish) startup I'm working for builds a contextual publishing platform called Bubbal ("context" based on a user's location and interests, as well as time of day). We're using it to collect and heatmap yes&#x

    You're absolutely right, in the comparison you choose to set out. I was probably being vague: I wasn't really looking at this in terms of mobile/desktop usage, more considering the average HN readers's expectations of th

    Sorry buddy, you're vastly outnumbered and your expectations are unrealistic.
