    Reddit accounts are not working for me either. There are no errors in the console - or responses either: this is crazily using a WebSocket connection to the server to fetch the results. And so sending off a Reddit request never returns a ma

    Depends what point on the spectrum you refer to by "how". Implementation, creativity, or the focus and discipline required to combine the two? :P I had a quick look; as always with the presentations on this website, all the un-min

    Thanks for replying and for the info/clarification. It's very cool to see you're already going in the obvious directions with this :)

    In all fairness, why do Android devices not have to use Micro-USB now? If they were mandated to do so by law, what were the conditions that have presumably un-bound them now? Or are they all violating the Micro-USB law but being allowed t
