True, people downvote if they don't agree. without even giving a reason. While downvoting should be for eliminating spam and comments that don't add to discussion.

That's where kerning comes in. It's a designer's job to manage the spacing manually.

It almost makes me think that people get pissed thinking, "How can someone reach front page of HN? With every single post they make?"

I don't remember every having to deal with database after installation. And with most host nowadays, it's sort of auto-managed. Update with wordpress is a click-away. I've seen much difference between two when it comes to maintaing, having

Or you could just install wordpress? Unless your aim is to jump through the hoops, or satisfy the nerdy carving of coding we all have.

Door knobs are not visual style. They are user interface. If all logos looked the same, you'll be in utter confusion. That's what visual design is for. Your unique self.

I am a UX designer. Bah let's just call me a designer. Included the "Quick Fix" for people who might not have a great design sense.

VIsual design: I'd be confused if all apps used same icons. Paramount to using that bootstrap topbar with same visual style . Note: You could change colors / gradients and some visual design aspects and things would be different.

They are not. It's not just the colors but the visual style. They are different for all three. Conclusion is > have a top bar .. with distinct visual style. > If you want to make an application that people use all day, having a uniq

> Bootstrap gives us a sane, standard look and feel for the web, which is a good thing. NO. It is NOT a good thing. When it comes to visual design, things are supposed to look different. Twitter is meant to look different than Facebook

On a related note, medical toursim is a great business/startup opportunity for other countries. Let them spend a weekend in a new city and get that dental filling done for far less cost. It's $4 in some medical colleges in India.

It's interesting how Earbits is leaning towards being a people aware music startup. Music industry has mostly been power centered (whoever has the record deal) looks like it's shifting in terms of business and bucks.

This is NOT how big boys (corporates) buy their software. They like it slow, at par with their pace. If it's too easy, they won't use it.

If iCloud did exactly what Dropbox does, that would be a copy, no? iCloud syncs, in principle, and makes things available on all your i-devices. Dropbox syncs, in principle, and makes things available on your devices.

I don't think author means to claim the world has moved on. Early adopters have, and as the tablet replaces the desk/lap-tops with internet everywhere, Office will be irrelevant. 1. Google Docs. 2. Gmail, Google Docs [Free] 3. Google Docs

Biggest problem with Bootstrap was non-distinct visual design. All sites created with bootstrap had same loon and feel which is bad for visual distinction and mind-space. Themes will be useful in solving that problem. Way to go.

So this is "Swearing is F*cking Insane" debate on HN all over again? I think we talked about this before.

No option for "Used to but not anymore?" It gives interesting insights and idea about do's and don'ts.

True! Also, on overview page. There is just shit loads of text. You might want to break it into a list or a series of headlines that will help me understand better. I know you are passionate about it and won't mind writing a book on it. But
