I'd like to hear some talk about how the post went to the frontpage very quickly, generated some very interesting comments and then got buried (atleast temporarily)? Was this a result of people flagging the post due to the (some would argue

I also cruise "newest" and make it a point to view and upvote any credible "Show HN" posts. However, you do get the odd post that abuses "Show HN". Sometimes, they are just "Show HN: This Cool Link I Found", "Show HN: A site I found but had

In backbone, I will create a new Router for each page (though sometimes you might reuse the same router for groups of pages that contain the same views).

I use MySql+cron as a simple message queue every now and again--it's great for jobs like sending confirmation emails or registering new users for a mailing list. ie. Tasks that make synchronous calls over the network and can degrade the spe

I like the idea of a visual age/points indicator. Like a design from the other day, your design omits the "flag" functionality.

Fantastic. I will definitely use this. Very relaxing. UI could use some polish. What if you had a "big" featured track at the top and then more options below? http://imgur.com/5IBlu (MS Paint copy and paste) The columns below would be cha

I think getting on the frontpage (and getting good feedback) takes a bit of luck. Time of the day/etc. Try and get your submission in /newest before the East Coast gets to work... then you'll be on there for an hour+ and people will have a

This post is going to baffle a lot of US readers. I moved to Ireland in 2006 and had never seen anything like ceefax (it's Aertel in Ireland). I love how old school it is--feels like a early 80's video game. I admit I have found myself sitt

I wrote a blog post last week that echos this sentiment. Funny how (many) people who (and tools that) espouse agile actually fail the first tenet of the agile manifesto.... (not meant as a plug but for those interested in reading .... http

I have played around with Geckoboard and I don't love it. I like the UI of Ducksboard more and am inclined to continue with it. My biggest wish of these services is that they would fluidly, and intelligently expand to utilize the full wid

It's "Sugru" and I think you should probably remove the "Show HN"... I think it's reserved for when you are showing the HN community something you've built. Sugru is a cool product.

Congrats on launching a pro plan--big step. I'll definitely check out the service. You have some missing images in your blog post you might want to fix.

Yeah, I went into why I am writing it in a blog post last week ( http://www.thetaboard.com/blog/why-im-making-thetaboard?r=37... ). Most of the apps you mentioned force you in a very specific workflow. I'd like to build something that is p
