   Agree 100% with you. I never for a single moment regretted spending the time in Tibet. It was literally a life-changing experience. A lot of times it is said that you should pursue your carrier while you're still young and without many

   I've been in software development for 20 years now. Started to work as a student at a top consulting firm in my country, at the expense of dropping out of CS studies - real work (and earning good money) was so much more interesting tha

   Matt, I get your point and have thought a lot about it before deciding on 3 days. 3 days was a compromise between having a short sales cycle (we are bootstraping the app) and letting users try the app before they buy it. We also have an onl

   Partial support for SASS will be out next week (together with Foundation). The way it works is that when CSS rules are saved Pinegrow saves .css, .less and .scss versions. Variables, expressions and most of the functions are supported.

    Second that. Our app [1] is a web builder that lets you edit multiple pages at the same time and use Less to create your design - both through GUI and code editor. Node-webkit works great. Our build process is simple: minimizing js files an

    Yes, it is supposed to work :) What browser are you using? The code between the app and the web playground is actually the same, so it was not a big overhead. The app was 10% additional effort once things worked in the browser, thanks to no
