This is revolutionary and really closes the collect data -> analyze -> act feedback loop. Come to think of it, it really minds me of a DMP. If I were building a consumer app today, MP would be a big part of my growth strategy.

I hate to be that guy , but the key thing on my mind and the thing that constantly pushes me towards hybrid solutions: performance. Whats the verdict?

Oh, are companies not allowed to compete with one another now? Also, this startup seems more focused on mobile.

Gonzo, seems like we are in agreement and you are just arguing very nuanced semantics with me. Hotel brands do indeed own their own hotels, but franchise groups will own the majority of the hotels for low to mid tier brands (Accor being a m

Not on your pillow but definitely on your TV, on your desk, on your room key, ... Thought exercise: If you took away the WiFi, you would still have a hotel. If you took away the bed, you would have ____.

I am a co-founder at a startup that does advertising on WiFi networks. We only run advertising before you connect (when you are in a captive portal), without the use of proxying. Before anyone overreacts to this article, it would be benefic

You're right. That's a bug! I'll fix that tonight. Thanks.

You can upload by clicking the "web" button or using the bookmarklet. The source should be kept in the resulting page.

The title is everything apparently. The first post was also early in the morning. I have a bad habit of being impatient with these things.

Caught me. This is a side project (doing a real startup as my day job), but I basically put in 20-30 hours a week for the last 3 weeks working nights and weekends.

How do you see this hooking in with it? I don't use Instagram.

I was definitely debating with myself on that particular behavior. On the one hand it lets you preview themes more easily, on the other, it adds more friction / confusion. I'll play around with a "click once" theme browser. Thanks for the f

Thanks for the feedback. What version of Firefox were you using? It sounds like your browser was still trying to load the fonts.

It was the lightest weight canvas library I could find. Primarily used the interactive features of it. I had to write my own text extension because Fabric's (canvas's) is pretty primitive.

Definitely working on that. This is my MVP.

I should probably do a better job of highlighting that. If you click on one of the textures at the bottom, you can start one without uploading. Here's a direct link to the wood texture for example: http://www.pinwords.com/start/032fb4c570b

Thanks for that article. Makes sense now. They were able to achieve higher frame rates and take advantage of hardware acceleration by using CSS animations with the individual sprite slices serving as key frames.

Anyone have a guess as to why they use a jpg sprite instead of an animated gif for the bouncing orb? Is it just a color space thing?

Sorry this deserves dramatic pose. Hackers are not immune from the human condition. What of the irrational triumphs? Of serendipity and of chance? To believe all things solvable through logic, science, and engineering is hubris. Emotions ma

JavaScript's for-in construct is not the same as iterating through all elements in the array as it will enumerate over all of the object's properties (see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/500504/javascript-for-in-... ) The other "c
