I'm waiting for the first hosting company to offer a drop-in replacement for AppEngine. It should be easy to compete on support with Google, and there are tons of AppEngine applications out there that can turn into big successes.

Good catch :-) I hoped somebody would notice it... We know about merging. One step at a time...

But read it well. It seems AppEngine comes out very bad, but it was tested for db transaction speed in a way that every insert locks the entire db (one big entity group). Any AppEngine developer could tell you not to use it like this. More

So... I'm not sure I get this. We built a webapp on AppEngine and would like premium support/sla. Is this meant for developers like us too?

As a two time ADA winner, and having a new app almost ready for this years wwdc we're pretty bummed out about this. As one developer put it, it feels like the end of an era. We love the Mac desktop, but Apples current attitude towards it is

- When you work with large binary files that don't diff well (psd), it's a pain to have the entire repository history local. - Hard to explain to even fairly technical designers/copywriters. - With all that easy branching, I sometimes just

If you build for appengine, you have options. Take a look at http://code.google.com/p/typhoonae/ . PS. I'm sure you know what you're doing, but from my experience the gae stack is really bad to build anything search at this point.

Initiatives like these are exactly what we hoped for when we made the Aristo UI open source together with 280North. If you're interested check out the full PSD at the github repo: http://github.com/280north/aristo We're working on some ni

In my experience becoming a good designer takes as much learning as becoming a good coder. Every designer at Sofa has an unhealthy interest in composition, color and typography and studied years before getting good at it. That said, a few t

(We make checkoutapp.com) We test, but we always put emotional arguments ("it looks better") above scientific data when it comes down to design. It's impossible to prove what gives better results in the long-term, but we would hate putting

It's a hip thing to work on, an interesting problem to solve, has some nice ideas around it, has great potential to get lots of users and there are no widely accepted solutions yet.

The storefronts can be anything. Most of them are html templates (we use django) with css and jquery. So for now just the admin is Capp.

RootBSD has been very reliable for us, and good service.

What I find strange is that people have a tendency to compare Cappuccino to flash, way more then other web frameworks, and what that means.

We think we did pretty well on EnStore (www.enstore.com). We built it using Cappuccino, you can check it out here: http://cappuccino.org/discuss/2009/10/06/cappuccino-in-check...
