If you use SQL, check out http://github.com/dergachev/csv2sqlite Its a little ruby script that in 1 command takes one or several CSV files, parses their structure into simplistic sqlite table definitions, and then crea

Is there any control for the exact therapists participating? I'd imagine that therapists who are willing to work online are very different than people who work face to face. If online therapy involves written correspondence, that seems

If you liked this, consider checking out Mastering Nginx by Dimitri Aivaliotis. I was quite surprised how helpful this book was. http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Nginx-Dimitri-Aivaliotis/dp/...

I wish they would just make HTML previews work instead of hardcoding specific use cases with 3d models and geodata. Eg why can't github just let visitors preview this html file: https://gist.github.com/dergachev/57

I have a bunch of domains, but I'm using DO for temporary apps, and would like the DNS records to be automatically created/destroyed along with the droplets.

Does anybody know if they offer anything equivalent to HOSTNAME.herokuapp.com? I'm just testing them now, and I'm not ready to point a real domain at them yet.

What's even more exciting is that there's a Vagrant provider for DigitalOcean! I tried it yesterday and it seems to actually work: https://github.com/smdahlen/vagrant-digitalocean Basically you put your DO ap

Excel can easily export CSV files, which are easy to parse. However, standard Linux tools aren't great for working with CSVs, especially ones with multi-line content (eg exports from a CMS). As an experiment, I wrote a quick ruby script cal

Very nice! I'm really impressed that you made a bookmarklet for it. Edit: demos are working fine now.

If you're interested in this, you should also know about Showdown.js, a library that converts markdown into HTML client-side: https://github.com/coreyti/showdown For an example use, view the source of http://dergachev.github.com/pin-scre

In that case, you might enjoy this bookmarklet I made a few weeks ago: http://dergachev.github.com/descriptive-url-bookmarklet/ It automatically extracts the title of the current page and appends it to the URL, like so: http://www.youtub

This is really cool! But often you can't upload videos or javascript, but only a GIF, like on a github.com's README file. For that scenario, I recently wrote up a quick tutorial on how to use Quicktime + FFmpeg + gifsice to easily create a

IMHO a 45-90 second video done right might the ideal medium for a product overview. But most are way longer, and suck, so I never click on them. GIFs auto play, and so might be good medium to force a user to see a 7-15 second clip of ho

If you're building a product tour, consider making an animated GIF screencast to demo your use case. Yesterday I wrote a tutorial on how to easily create one on OS X using just free tools: Quicktime Player, ffmpeg, and gifsicle. https://gi

I use Mike Bostock's awesome bl.ocks.org service that's very similar. It's great for gists with html/js that you want people to preview, as in: http://bl.ocks.org/4331769

Thats awesome. Also looking at the source, I discovered it's using keymaster.js and firebase.js, which are new to me. And the implementation of scratchpad.io is very simple and elegant. The design is beautiful, and the code (in scratchpad.j

Good stuff! Now if only someone were to implement something like this as a front-end to editing Github's README.md files.

I'm very excited about fixing wikis, and I'm really impressed to see that OP has some very similar ideas about it. Because of this, I found it worthwhile to burn 1-2 hours to de-minify his Javascript, which mostly required figuring out what

I love these guys! Yesterday I came across an annoying bug related to embedded gists and markdown files, and this fixes it. Related discussion: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11456558/markdown-not-ren...

Awesome. One could make a useful bookmarklet out of this. I'm worried about accessibility. Most of the time tabs are used to navigate between fields, so it'd be cool if this was "opt-in", eg entering the textarea would render an icon to cli

Man so far I've been spending 10 minutes a day on typeracer, as a morning warmup. You did a great job on making it fun! Some random ideas I have about it (since it's easier to talk about stuff than to build it): * Your quotes are all from f

I'm excited to see a Cocoa app on github! A year ago I hacked together an almost trivial Folder Action Script that does the same thing, and works really well. In case anyone's interested, here it is: https://gist.github.com/4165548

Generally if I type a wrong lretter, I prefer to type out the correct one immediately and then delete afterward finishing the sentence. Perhaps you could offer a scoring mode that counted only 1 mistake for it? Also I didn't realize backspa

Just tried Typeracer... It's so awesome! Definitely much more fun than OP. Did you ever make money from it? Maybe consider making a social mobile app?

Nuance bought ShapeWriter a year ago, and took it off Android market. A few months later they started selling it as FlexT9, but a year later it's still blocked outside the USA. I'm almost ready to flash Cyanogenmod on my Nexus just so I can
