I think ads would be reasonable. Especially if they integrate with the design and aren't all flashy and distracting. Another monetization strategy might be to make the web version free, but charge for mobile apps. There could be free ad-sup

this would be really trick UX-wise, but it'd be cool if one could "follow" updates of a list.

I really like the idea of a keyboard friendly task app. Here's some feedback. Hope it helps: * signup didn't work for me. When I submitted the form, it just took me to the signup form again. EDIT: I think it's because the username I wanted

Hope you enjoy the bay, if you haven't already, I highly recommend grabbing a slice at cheeseboard. In my experience, even mentoring works better in person.

interesting idea, but haven't formed an opinion yet. Tagging's always such a personal preference. I like hierarchical tags (e.g. code:ruby), but that's just me

What type of development do you do primarily? For web dev, a mac is still the best choice in my opinion b/c you can VM to test all browsers. I think hardware-wise, most laptops have more than enough power for local development needs. What's

Some notes as I go through the app: The bookmarklet popup is spot on. Everything I need, nothing I don't. The home tab shows signup info even when I'm logged in, should hide after I'm logged in. For passwords, I think it'd be best to hide t

Our landing page conversion is hovering around 14%, which sounds like the higher side from what I've heard. My guess for why it's higher is because we've been targeting very specific people within our community. We chose launchrock for it's

I agree with the philosophy of "do one thing, do it well", but my problem with a lot of app ideas is that they focus on adding one feature to an existing app. I dislike this because then I have to switch accounts just for one extra featur

I was a long time delicious user, and I like having my data up in the cloud. I think what I prioritize the most is having a good UX and my links being available everywhere. minor thing: your signup password fields should be of type password

Just a stream of notes as I go through the first time around. The fixed bottom footer could use a bit more contrast. When the white text from the main body slides over it, it gets garbled and messy looking. Also, there feels like too much s

Always happy to see projects coming out of my hometown. I like the idea, but I hope that there's good moderation for submitted bounties so it doesn't become another Rent-a-Coder like cess pool. It's also be neat if the bounties could be fre

This reminds me of the documentary "Wordplay" about competitive crossword puzzle players. Without a formal proof, my guess is that scrabble is faster to solve that a hard crossword puzzle for a computer. It's amazing that the human mind can

A friend brought up a good point the other day that the popularity of the iOS app store has actually pushed back on advances in web technologies on mobile devices. Because the sanctioned way to sell applications must go through Apple, less

+1 on finding a way to leverage both fields. I've only heard of R and never used it, but I'm sure there are domains where it's the perfect tool for the job. You could potentially freelance to make some side income as well. I think it's stil

One downside the post doesn't cover is that these microgems aren't discoverable. You can't do a gem search for them. If these really take off, it'd be neat if there was a section on ruby-toolbox that was dedicated to microgems.

I strongly agree. The learning process takes as long as it takes. What might take one person an hour, could take another person a week. But when it comes to education funding in general, the easy way out is to set a easy to quantify metric

My plan is to be financially independent from what I love to do. I love coding because it's a medium for me to create something tangible out of nothing. I loved it before I was paid to do it for a living, and I'll love it till I become seni

I agree with many of the points brought up. It's strange to me that Facebook would consider a practice that limits the number of eyeballs on their pages. For a social network, the real competitive advantage is the number of users and how en
