I have to say i love the look and feel of it. I really like the logo you did. you are obviously very talented. One tiny imperfection is the about modal page goes under my boxes. One idea I had is what if the user could provide a URL and th

be neat if you showed an example mockup for those of us who don't quite get it.

haha.. maybe it's because i was a kid then and the internet was the place were I hung out after school, but i have such nostalgia for the "cyber" age.

Hmm.. I've had an opposite experience on an atom netbook. Tried Windows Vista and Ubuntu on a netbook. The Windows netbook worked great while Ubuntu regularly would crash. Ubuntu on the netbook was unusable. Now probably I did something w

Nice hack. It's funny he had to write a script to hit the web server a bunch of times just to build a tsv file. I wish more sites just gave you a dump of all their data.

ok updated.. this is what site originally looked like: http://webcache.80cols.com/orig.html for comparison.

Yup, the copy was non-existent.. I've been updating the copy tonight after I fixed some troubling oauth bugs. I didn't realize you ultimately throw away your first oauth key, and keep the second oauth key.

yay found the oauth bug! I hadn't learned oauth, but now I have.

yes i'm realizing there's nearly nothing approachable about this ui as simple as it may be. glad hacker news visitors are so friendly and giving such great feedback. i really appreciate it. i'm also seeing lots of errors in the server due

There is no push api or list of changes at this point. You can check each directory to see if it's changed... by passing a hash to the metadata function. It will tell you if the directory has been modified in any way.

Yeah that's a great point. I added such a sentence. The site you visit is actually located on my Dropbox so nice and easy to edit. I mean I basically made this because I wanted to start making a old school type of personal web site (80col

Dropbox has two modes: APP_FOLDER and DROPBOX. APP_FOLDER just creates a sandbox and does not give me permission to all your Dropbox data. I would never want access to such a thing on a server that's publicly visible. The Dropbox authenti

Definitely agree. I'm putting together something now. I think some screenshots along with a video would go along way of explaining what happens after you click submit, which I'm thinking is what visitors are wondering when they get here.

Nothing. It's a great question though. What do normal web hosts do to prevent such things? I suppose I would have to do something similar.

It's cached on my server using varnish http://varnish-cache.org , which uses LRU caching with ttls. A very cool open source web caching project. I use a configuration very similar to media wiki where I set long ttls and then have the backe

Trying again... If you enter "foo" it will create foo.80cols.com for you and create a folder in your Dropbox called Apps/webcache/foo.80cols.com and host it. If you enter "www.yourdomain.com" it will work too, though you need to setup a DNS

You can delete the folder, but I agree there are no settings and no login. In fact there isn't even a database, which is a problem if I have to restart the server. I am pretty sure I can easily reconstruct from the logs though. You can emai

You can use your own domain. It's not advertised but if you enter xyz.yourdomain.org and point a CNAME to 80cols.com it will host it for you. It's faster, supports index.html, and directories. I've found public links to be slow. Additionall

i learned plenty making this. varnish, httpcore, and the dropbox apis are all very cool. though clearly i need to learn how to make an effective landing page, because no one who is visiting actually trying this service.

The question to be asking is not what are the highest paying jobs, but who are the highest paid individuals? They are the individuals who interviewed at multiple places, got multiple job offers, and negotiated with the employer of their c

Apps allow content provides to hide their data and only share it in a highly controlled environment. It's very unweb like, but appears that controlling a scare resource is profitable.

My hope is that html5 and javascript get fast enough and toolkits get awesome enough so that they disrupt native apps. It's just right now for mobile, apps can be so much nicer and more capable than their web-based counterparts.
