We were also talking when writing the blog post that it depends on what the interface is for. When designing a site that accepts user-generated content (whether it be LayerVault or Facebook), the interface—is in many respects—only there to

We use Slicehost.

So far, no browser pain at all with the data-attributes. When dealing with numbers, you will often find yourself making many calls to parseInt(). Other than that, it's smooth sailing.

When first building LayerVault around this time last year, the simplicity of delayed_job appealed to me. Not having to set up and maintain a Redis application was a bonus. The simple '.delay' syntax sealed the deal for me. That being said,

Very true. I see some folks assume that to get that realtime performance, you need to start with a "realtime" framework. We probably will hit a ceiling with Rails (once we decide to take the time to update down from 500ms to 50ms, perhaps)

There's a great jQuery plugin that we use at LayerVault to handle this called timeago: http://timeago.yarp.com/ If you're taking screenshots of things, that's your own prerogative.

Nifty. Reminds of Corkboard.me from awhile back.

I'm no expert, but having JS/CSS served out based on DB-dependent values seems dumb. I would say it wasn't your fault, but the technical debt collector coming around.

I've been back and forth from Berlin for a little while now. My company's home base is in NYC, but I sometimes work out of Berlin. Even this year while I was there (Feb. - May), the startup scene is exploding. I liken it to the satisfaction

This sounds pretty similar to how UITableView on the iPhone keeps its performance up. If I recall correctly, iOS actually recycles a small number of discrete cells for use in the table and shuffles in the necessary data.

I recently jumped through a lot of similar hoops in making an Activity Feed for my company. We use a few finesses to cut down on the number of repaints the browser likes to do when dealing with huge tables like these. More on that here: ht

I'm a big fan of using CorkboardMe as a collaborative workspace. This makes it that much better.
