Meh. I'm cynical of the voting ring algorithm. I used to tweet when I wrote a new post on the Intercom blog but too many of my followers used to +1 the post and now it seems we're in some way blacklisted on HN. Example: http://blog.interco

If you're going to gray out something in the UI (and there are reasons why you might), here's a few things to remember. 1. Your users won't know why it's greyed out. Is it currently disabled? Is it not available yet? Have I broken something

My least favourite part of this type of sharing is when all the competitors come along to now try to pitch their wares. It's not clever, it's not classy, it's just lame. I don't doubt this was a shit experience, it certainly sounds incredib
