Same for Ottawa. Time of day matters in addition to location, as you'll only be able to see it just after dusk or just before dawn when the sky is dark but the sun is still reflecting off the satellite

ISS Detector has this! Well, you can get push notifications when sightings are about to occur, and it takes weather info into account. I'm not sure if it tracks the Humanity Star yet, but they've mentioned it on their twitter so I

What makes this a 'town' and not just a plot of land? I'm assuming there's zero infrastructure to be managed, so what's left?

Since no-one has mentioned it yet, I'll throw in my personal favourite RSS reader: Stringer. Dead easy to set up and does away with all the social stuff that I never used in Google Reader https://github.com/swanson&#x2F

I have a Shopify app that makes ~$400/month gross revenue. Do your research first to make sure that you're filling the right niche, and you can definitely do alright.

Neat! I realize that this was developed in-house by Pusher, but what I'd really like to see is floobits-atom reach maturity since their service is already editor-agnostic. https://github.com/Floobits/floobits-atom

I'd love a way to filter the options. Scanning through all the pics looking for all the laptop ones (for example) is annoying. Otherwise: I like it!

I love this. Last year I was super-excited about the Nexus Q (I have my I/O freebie in a box somewhere) but was disappointed by a) the price and b) the lack of an SDK. A year later, we get ChromeCast. It's a tenth of the size, a t
