Thanks for your thoughts and links! I especially like geckoboard, and I'm a big fan of Brian Suda. The challenge for me is definitely in the laying out of the unique data for that particular context in a visually appealing way. I guess w

Cool chrome extension, dude! You might want to reconsider the music on your "save time on hacker news" video. It feels... like a sad foreign film about a mime. It's entirely possible that you meant it to be a parody of an obvious cultura

Has anyone used this on live software with serious traffic? I really like the concept.

It's hard for me to see this as stealing content since: 1) Padmapper shows the original craigslist page when you click through to the details page. 2) Padmapper doesn't seem to be monetizing itself in any obvious way, at least not directly

True, but this is just a different sort of approximation, too. Layouts where all the elements are absolutely positioned don't work in the real world, so the markup and css will have to be 60%+ rewritten and will likely not look exactly as

I use bootstrap as the base for all my new projects for clients. You guys are fantastic! Thanks for open sourcing such a great project!

I don't think there are any ethical issues here. The paid service is doing something that was mostly, if not completely, available in other open source projects such as piwik and OWA in the first place. It's very educational to look at th

Is this significantly different than, say, flavors.me or about.me?

Very nice. Way to use Bootstrap!

I've been using BootStrap in my Clients' web apps for a few months now and been very pleased with the results. Thanks to the two that built it!

What a vast improvement! I've been using delicious for years, and as the UI has stagnated, the things that bugged me about it have stacked up. Everything I thought should be fixed, from where padding should be added to how tags should be

This is fantastic! My mind is spinning with the industries that you could benefit from this, but didn't have the time/resources/focus to roll this sort of (very difficult to scale) system on their own.

So cool! But this makes my poor Macbook Air (2011) sound like it wants to die...

I'm really curious to see how they sort out making a usable API for dealing with all the privacy settings (circles) on different posts.

Also, in chrome on windows 7 the text-shadow on the explanation paragraph renders as white because you forgot to add the blur pixel. This looks nice: text-shadow: black -1px -1px 1px;

Super slick! The concept of just limiting people to today and tomorrow should keep us from descending into the swirling always-planning-but-never-doing-vortex-of-doom. Only complain: the handwritten font you chose, while cool, renders ver

How baked is this? Has anyone written any apps on it?

American Express does the same thing!! My user name is actually twice as long as my password by virtue of their restriction.... It seems like they're actually hoping for a PR disaster.

Exactly. When data.gov first launched I was really excited because somehow my mental image of what it should be was a raw dump of all the datasets they had available. What a found was something that felt very sanitized and sparse compared

Ladon, that's brilliant. I tip my hat to you, sir!

You know, at first blush I would want to throw in the towel as well, but on second thought you really might consider making a proper go of it. The idea has now been validated by a lot of smart people, and frankly you've got a solid MVP goin
