Hey, thanks! Kickstarter projects can only be started by US residents so that's not an option for me. Quoting from http://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/creating%20a%20project#S... : "To be eligible to start a Kickstarter project, you need t

Yeah I actually didn't voice my opinion in my parent comment but I agree, this doesn't feel uncanny to me either. Whether something is uncanny or not is probably a subjective assessment.

The demo ( http://webdesignerwall.com/demo/css-social-buttons/ ) looks great but a button is pretty useless without an :active (pressed) state. Would be nice if it was built-in. There are some pressed classes defined but I don't think you c

The Uncally valley has to do with causing "a response of revulsion among human observers" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley ). It's when the robot / fictional character feels real enough that it's not obvious it's a robot anymor

A similar click-jacking trick is used a lot for spreading videos like worms on Facebook, at least in French. Videos with baiting titles like "How could she do that?", "I can't believe she did this in front of everyone" and such. Most people

Google Search seems to keep things in its index conservatively, hoping that 404 and other errors are transient. I'm guessing the Google+ profile didn't appear in "featured links" (don't know the proper name for the special links at the top)

I can't do without an RSS feed either. Hacker News has the top spot on my iGoogle page and if I can't put Hackful next to it, I'll probably forget about it real soon.

A/B testing is fine and all, but you might want to think of it from an ethical standpoint. Are you okay with requiring someone to shout "I like this service" to be able to use said service, on first use? Does it feel right to disclose the l

by elisee 15y ago
I concur. Requiring likes (in wording, even though technically there might be no enforcement) as a payment method for a service is a bad idea. The like is not customisable so you're basically putting words into your customer's mouth. I'm no

If we're going to keep moving more and more apps from native to Web-based, I think we're going to see a lot more of this (standardizing an existing service to be accessible over HTTP), since WebSockets can't connect to any raw TCP sockets (

I wouldn't be so fast in dismissing it, I just checked and it actually does more than simply putting an image over another: The cross-fade function correctly handles opacity and different image sizes. Plus it allows for easy use with CSS tr

It would be pretty complicated to make the demo (swipe, touch, navigate your app) with the screen covered in green, wouldn't it?

Looks a lot less dated than the other one so good job on that front. Not sure if anyone working on the design / copy is reading this, but I'm wondering why they felt compelled to add "popular" to "PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting

(making this into a separate comment since it's a different, related idea) How about having a "flag" link for comments with a drop-down list of points from the guidelines that the comment violates? It would reduce the noise from other reply

Pratical approach: How about adding a link to the Guidelines from the "new comment" page? And maybe putting the most important part right next to the submit / reply button, like "Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversat

I think you've made it clearer for me: the fact that it feels like a sentence plays a big part in the weird factor, it's like I'm addressing someone instead of citing a name for a service. But I guess it's a minor concern indeed. I just wou

Looks like a clean, straight-to-the-point design. The top box has some padding issues when hovering the contained links: there's more padding on the left than on the right, and the first link has more padding on the right than the next two

Is taking 20% of only a few hours with a particular teacher going to be enough? It might be hard for students to do anything worthwhile with such a short timelength split over weeks. I'd go as far as to say it might be frustrating because t

Just to be clear, Firefox doesn't have a validator built-in. It's just syntax highlighting, and it has recently been enhanced to use the same HTML5 parser as the rest of the browser. So yeah you can see some of the errors you might make in

I have found the Chrome dev tools to be much better usability-wise than anything Firebug had to offer. I also find it suspicious that Firebug is so heavy in terms of performance & memory, compared to the always-enabled chrome dev tools.
