Yeah, it will support edits soon (I just got this much done last weekend...) Adding updates is next on the list - it should be easy since gists are editable/versionable. When this happens, the redis cache will be invalidated so that re

I am hosting an installation of this at http://txt.jazzychad.net/ if you want to see a reference implementation. Also this system could be setup to be multi-tenant with multiple authors if anyone wanted to host such a site.

Hi hn, my sister is in the process of adopting a child which is very expensive! I have been trying to think of ways to help her raise money for the process, and I thought how about a t-shirt campaign? 100% of the proceeds from this teesprin

Sorry to bust your bubble, but most every major app (and every single game app) is already doing this by sending activity data to one company or another.

So, I'm curious how this will compete with free offerings like Flurry which do similar-ish mobile analytics tracking and can handle millions of users per app for free. I got very excited about this Heap announcement but looked at the pricin

Disregard this feedback. Do you know how to use a blue pencil instead of the standard yellow? I thought so. These controls maintain the overall look and feel of the native components while just giving them a different skin. Sheesh, even App

I did the first interview on Mixergy with Andrew about a failed startup: http://mixergy.com/etzel-notifo-interview/ - I discuss my struggles and lessons learned, but it doesn't have a happy ending like you are looking for.

I love using Jekyll to generate my blog, and I host it in an S3 bucket making it extremely cheap and easy to serve. Lately I've been wanting to revive all of my old digital photos and put them online. I'm considering using Jekyll to make an

I love org-mode. I have never found an online todo-list or task manager that I like to use... but plain-text lists fit my mental model perfectly. org-mode is plain text on steroids... also the clocking abilities while doing tasks is incredi

Thank you for writing openly about these issues, Bubs. You really hit the nail on the head about not being able to have honest conversations with people, especially in SF. Since I moved here, I have met hundreds of people and interact close

Pure speculation: This fits in well with other sdk platforms that complete the loop for advertising companies focused on mobile. Burstly (mobile ads) bought TestFlight (beta app distribution sdk). Flurry (mobile ads) gives away a free analy

I suppose we should also strike from the history books any reference to Mozart's age regarding his musical accomplishments? Using your age to promote your project is just another use of competitive advantage on another axis. Marketing is a

Sure, to each his/her own. In my experience, one long running side-project does not afford the learning opportunities of doing many smaller (non-crappy, imo) projects. For me, that's the main motivation behind them: to learn new things and

There should be a healthy life/work balance. Doing nothing but work is unhealthy. Side-projects offer a nice break from the norm and the ability to be creative and learn new things. Usually my side-projects wind up helping me in my normal w
