amirnathoo: the trigger.io website mentions a cloud build service to compete with the PhoneGap Build API, but I can't seem to find any more details. Could you point me in the right direction please?

It's not the customer side that's the problem; it's the third party sevices. Nothing is available here. Stripe isn't available here. Google Checkout isn't available here. Recurly is possible through a PayPal gateway, but you still need a me

Where in Australia are you? There are some good meetups for startup guys. Join one of them; it will make it easier for you socially I think. I'm going along to Silicon Beach Melbourne tomorrow night.

I think it's what happens when privileged people try to write about the real world. You get "blacks" and (my favourite) "poor" people. Then there is everyone else. Shouldn't it just be that there are "people", and some of them are high inco

Web design companies and others design everything in Photoshop/Fireworks. There are many people who's entire job it is to create 4-7 page websites from scratch, in a day or two. And that involves lots of HTML writing, and time pressure.

I remember reading somewhere about a theory that people who pay more for a service end up committing more time and energy into learning it, because it seems more important to them. If you signed up for a $50/mo service, you would probably f

"I become a workout-planning god. I research routines, buy supplements, construct a schedule and pick a start date. Then I go to the gym every day. By the end of week two I invariably give up." Does this remind anyone else of developers who

The point isn't the code, it's the emulation of the hardware the code runs on. A processor, ram, display and sound are being emulated inside a browser by JavaScript, and we can use this to run a binary almost perfectly. That is what is amaz

The combinations of web intents and Google's GDrive implementation / Dropbox seem interesting. I could link a file with a web intent, you use your Chrome App or similar to edit it, save it back to your Dropbox / drive - then your editor mak

You did a good job with the landing page. Mind sharing how you got it done? Ie. how did you go about finding a designer, have you written design briefs before, etc.

"Although Brackets is built in HTML/CSS/JS, it currently runs as a desktop application in a thin native shell, so that it can access your local files. (If you just try to open the index.html file in a browser, it won't work yet.)"

I think they probably should be. Kickstarter may not fund all types of projects but Kickstarter is only the beginning. The world works on trends right? Put all these things together and look forward 2-3 years: AngelList Kickstarter JOBS Act

I think the main hazard is fire, isn't it? Both the RCD and the earth connection are to stop humans from being electrocuted if they are touching the circuit while it shorts. I don't know enough about the characteristics of a charger explodi

Out of all the CEOs I've been around, the one I viewed as the most successful would always tell me "If you try to do too many things at once, you end up doing justice to none of them at all".

"The success of this kickstarter project shows that there's no real use case for tablets except [...]" I would like to point out, in a non-flamewar-inducing manner, that your assertion above has some severe logical flaws. For example, the s

I made and operated a MakerBot. It was fun but they oversell the idea of just hitting print and watching an object come out. It's hardly like that. In reality you have to manually fiddle around with the print head and print surface at the s

I for one eagerly await the release of "Grubwithus bootstrap" - which will help front end developers relive the dazzling veneer of the 1990s geocities era.

IMO it's a shame they stopped development on Bespin. It felt so smooth and fluid to code on because it used canvas. You totally forgot you were coding in a browser. Ace is great but it just doesn't feel the same eh.

I've been thinking of ways to phrase this without sounding rude, but it's difficult to avoid sounding that way in the context of how you asked your question :) So please don't think I'm intentionally being rude... Your confusion stems from
