Some of the edit-photo-by-swipe stuff seems neat for us power users, but I wonder as this app gains popularity, if they'll eventually be forced to add more discoverable controls.

I hadn't heard the vitamin/painkiller analogy before, and that's a trap I've definitely fallen into. Great list!

One data point: my mom (in Minnesota) has repeatedly tried to get me to use Twist when I head home to visit her and my dad. I had never heard of the app, and I live in San Francisco.

I couldn't figure out how to delete an item. Also kept getting "you have 1 synced document" growl notifications on Mac. Other than those issues, this looks to be really useful!

Has anyone built an NSURLProtocol subclass for SPDY? I did a quick GitHub search and found nothing. Seems to me that's one big use case that SPDY could dramatically improve, is all these native mobile apps which open SSL connections to th

I absolutely think it is. Why add extra complexity into your system (and complexity which I've seen the smartest of engineers get wrong on the invalidation side just by overlooking one small detail) before you know your macro-level bottlene

Nope, I totally disagree. Developers hate paying for things and love to build things themselves. There are a few successes, like GitHub, but they are outliers and on the whole developers are a terrible group to try to sell into. Your best

A) The kind of complexity you're referring to is different from what this blog post is talking about. (Specifically cyclomatic complexity.) B) Django doesn't have its own cheeseshop. Django developers use PyPI and pip just like everyone el

I think this is a really cool idea, but it's still about 2 or 3 times too big for me to wear it. It's big enough that people will notice it and ask about it, which is enough to discourage me from wanting one.

Good catch, I just deactivated that key. I thought we scrubbed out all of the keys but this one slipped through. Thanks for pointing it out!
