All this needs is a button on the generated grocery list to have them delivered to your door. Partner with TaskRabbit, InstaCart, Safeway (I believe they do free deliveries for anything over $40), etc. This is absolutely amazing (like many

This is completely subjective, but I'd prefer to design interactions around what I know my users are already comfortable with. My goal is to enable my users to get to their end goal with the least amount of friction as possible. Why would I

Drag and drop implies you're dragging one thing to another and then releasing. This is not the same as clicking, holding, and having something else you then have to move your cursor to appearing. I should have been more specific. I cannot t

I think you'd find a majority of users would be confused by this, as cool as it sounds, the first time around. I cannot think of a single instance of a popular web application that uses a click and hold mechanic of any kind (not to be confu

This look awesome and I can't wait to try it out. Hell, I think we'd even use it in our office (a large open room with 8+ people working, meaning we are all often wearing headphones to stay focused). Feature suggestion: Have an "away" featu

This idea is simply brilliant. You've reduced the friction it takes for me to buy an asset that I might not have otherwise purchased to essentially one click, at exactly the right moment (the moment I need it, without breaking my work-flow

Why not just let people use whatever works for them? After reading through all the replies here that's the only conclusion anyone can come to. Why do we need one editor to rule them all?

Works great for me, just tested it out. Such a cool idea/feature.

As others have said, you need to get out of that town. I live in San Francisco and love it, but the cost of living here isn't exactly low and unless you have a job lined up or are already freelancing, it's going to be tough. Instead conside

The product looks and feels great, but I watched my co-founder (and CTO) get extremely frustrated at the new user walkthrough. He was trying to get it to stop walking him through the steps and did not succeed (he wanted to play with it on h

My girlfriend works for one of the bigger tech blogs. I can't count the number of times I've heard her rant about startups sending her 500+ word pitches where she still has no idea what they do or what they are trying to announce by the end

Happy to see even though the removal temporary, they are looking into a way to easily remove styles for those who enjoy the flatness.

I can already think of a few great uses for this. A few weeks ago I had a friend come into town for San Francisco Beer Week and ALL he cared about was finding which bars carried Pliny the Younger (it's won "Best beer in the world" at least

It looks like there is quite a bit of data already for Austin users (which makes sense for SXSW), but I just tried this in San Francisco and it looks pretty empty. Is there an existing data set out there for beer? I know there are a TON of

If this is serious (it doesn't look serious) it's going to get shut down very fast. For any actual "professional DDoS" services you'd need to find them via .onion sites (think Silkroad, etc).

No, because of the thousands of people I've encountered in the industry (you could say my sample size), a very small portion of them were regular pot smokers. Of those, an even smaller portion were actually productive (especially engineers)

Like many others will likely comment, I'm a huge advocate of the legalization of marijuana. I smoked quite a bit of it in my younger years. I could go as far as saying I was a connoisseur. These days I find it cripples productivity and turn

I love the idea of "shared views" when you're having meetings or collaborating with people. Whatever document or supplementary set of data you're talking about is on the entire groups HUD.

I wish Google would focus on using Google Glass within the workplace before trying to take it to the streets for casual use. I can imagine using them within the office, because anything that makes me more productive is totally acceptable "s

It's very interesting to take this spot-on assessment of the game console industry and compare it to the mobile phone industry. Microsoft and Apple are dominating in very similar ways when it comes to gaming consoles (Microsoft) and mobile
