I maintain the gitignore.io repo with about 900 stars and thankfully the contributors aren't as snarky. I will say that the users of gitignore.io are probably more on the technical side, but it just seems like Jake is not familiar wit

I used to follow Kim back in the late 90's early 2000's when he ran Kimble.org. At the time it was a Flash website that was pushing the boundaries of what you could do on the web. It incorporated 3D, particle emissions from your

This is great! I was using the donate button on www.gitignore.io but this is what I was actually looking for when I implemented the donate button. Thanks for launching this.

I haven't dropped it 100% but I've turned off all notifications. I've even unfollowed some users and brands that I got push notifications from where I wasn't even @mentioneded. The iOS app is getting really spammy now.

I actually don't mind CurrentC on the playing field; I just don't agree with their terms to block all NFC transactions. I would like to see all of the payment methods play out; CurrentC may even offer something of value that Goog

You're correct, but like Jeremy said, they have mobile apps in both the Apple [1] and Google [2] Store. Funny enough, they both have over 2000 ratings at 1 star. [1] - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/currentc

Since CurrentC blocked NFC technology at the terminal, it would be funny if Apple and Google blocked CurrentC from their app stores.

I've been using Mailbox for a while on mobile and more recently on desktop and I'm wondering how it compares to that app? Also, are the new Inbox features in the app available on the web as well? I ask because desktop management

That's awesome. I spent 12 full weeks last year and built a game for iOS without using a game engine as well. It really gives you an appreciation for understanding the OS, Memory constraints and trying to model concurrent actions. An

From this post, it sounds like you would have been more interested in the YC Hacks Hackathon back in August. Plenty of outlets, plenty of food/drinks, lots of developers, everyone was building stuff, and over 80 products were demoed.

While this is a valiant cause, I don't know what this buys Twitter in the long run. If they have the ability to disclose exact numbers, the only number that would really have any impact is 0. It would be interesting to know what, if
