I believe this is also one of the goals of Lift.do, one of the current in-development projects from Obvious Corp (Evan Williams, Biz Stone).

Where does the "beautiful" part of this come into play? For whatever reason I clicked through assuming I would be looking at a way of actually creating, well, aesthetically beautiful web applications.

This looks amazing, but for some reason my private organization owned repo isn't showing up. Anyone else have this problem?

Curious if Live Lovely ( http://livelovely.com/ ) will get a similar cease and desist. They do essentially the exact same thing, but with a nicer design.

While I'd definitely not call this enterprise, I am impressed by how elegantly all of the features they do have are implemented. Yes, it's a simple product, but I actually quite like that (so many project management systems are bloated with

I'm specifically excited about Light Table (and the second half of this video where he dives into Python/Flask), because as a front-end guy, I generally spend most of my time in views/templates. I occasionally have to dive into models howev

I'm glad you commented on this. This entire post is very timely, but I was just thinking about what to do if multiple archetype's apply to you. I'm guessing traction/revenue is almost always going to trump the others, but the idea of mixing

We run Django on Heroku and have zero issues. Absolutely love the service.

This article really inspired me, as well as got me thinking about past projects I wish I would have documented in a similar way. Imagine surprising your team with copies of something similar after they have killed themselves building an ama

I think many people are forgetting a key part, if not THE key part, in the selection process for YC companies, and that's the TEAM. The idea is second to the people behind it when PG and company make their selections (and in many cases, YC

I see what you're saying. In this particular video they don't show that part of the experience, and you're right, they definitely should.

Every time I've had someone swipe my card via Square in a coffee shop, the barista has turned the iPad towards me to view my order/sign, which is more than what happens with a standard POS setup. I'm not sure what else you would expect here

Came here to say this. The software itself is really awesome, and they have done some great UI/UX work here, but the hardware experience is still very frustrating. I'm really surprised they haven't iterated on the hardware. It's been what,

While the author continues to scratch his head because he's attempting to fit a square into a circle, I'll continue to use my Macbook Air for actual work, my iPad for couch/bedside/casual consuming, and my iPhone for communicating on the go

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but this is one of the most frustrating things I've ever read, as well as many of the comments echoing the author. I do commend you for posting this publicly, that takes guts, but you have to do somet

Also really important to note: breakfast tacos are amazing, and far superior to burritos. Just go visit Torchy's Taco's while you're in Austin, and you'll understand.

I'm pretty positive they are working on the various elements of the web experience you've mentioned, while still focusing on driving people to the app. During the Path 2.0 launch, the website was pushed to a lower priority, but they will ge

I came here to say a version of this, so I'll just comment/expand on your post. First, like you, I don't think business cards are the solution. Not only are they insanely wasteful, but the only way to "stand out" of the pile of business car

I highly suggest taking a few basic color theory, or just design 101 classes, at your local community college or art school. It's cheap, and it'll cover the basics, which is really all you need to get started on learning the rest yourself!

This is one of the first things we'll be doing after raising our first big round. Until then... well, you don't want to know!

Yep, this happened to me as well. There seems to be some confusion, which no one is addressing because they want the virility, around the initial "User signed up for Product! Try it out!", and then future pushes based on user interactions o

This is why it's a very good idea to include the line, "We will never publish anything to your timeline without your direct permission", on your sign-up form. Or even more direct, "We promise not to post to Facebook that you signed up with

While I don't necessarily agree with everything in this post, I do see two problems with phone numbers: 1. Ask yourself, how many phone numbers do you actually know at this very moment? I'm willing to bet, on average, it's less than five. I

PoundPay is super interesting, because from what I can see, only Amazon has a solution that essentially handles escrow transactions (which is what KickStarter uses). You're right however, I haven't heard much from them lately (as opposed to

This is a case where using Bootstrap didn't help them with having a clean design out of the gate. I like the idea, but there is pretty much no way I'm going to authenticate with Facebook, simply because it looks so unprofessional and ugly.
