but you make a decision of quality vs price when you buy something. Here we are deciding.. will there be the the "free" video the masses of people can post/cut/encode/decode/do-what-ever-they-want with it on the web or not. Would it make se

Yes, this would greatly strengthen all big players that want to own the web (Goog, Apl..). Now if you want to make the competitive browser you have to pay the licenses, same for video site and probably many things. The absurdity goes even t

"I do things with video on web, so irrelevant, that they won't notice me" is not the solution to these things. At least not if you want to be a web entrepreneur? If the only widely adopted format on web becomes h264, which would already be

yes, but you don't modify it in this case.

Funny that you mention Factor :) Programming in Factor made me really get REBOL (after 10 years) and then I returned to it for most of my work. LWP .. is that a p.lang?
308.
by middayc 17y ago
Yes this is/was a problem. I left it 10 years ago because of closeness. Well now with R3 it's far far more open (I know that for some "more" open is enough though).

So what, one out of 10 images is a porn website and now "it played the porn card". Duh. I can't say if porn sites or farmwille is a bigger waste of time. I had a kids games site, and MOST kid's games (or other forms of edutainments) moved t

If in couple of years all web clients support only patented video codecs (which will happen if Mozilla doesn't succed here). Imagine doing a video startup or anything related to video that isn't irrelevant then.

You could call it without JVM. You are not programming ordinary Processing in Java but ~in~ Processing. Why is without "Java" a feature. It makes it not run in a browser and I doubt I could speed-wise make something like this with it. It's

hm.. good point .. I will think how to make this clearer. otherwise current situation is that you add sites into groups so you must first create a group. Maybe simple solution is that we precreate group My websites for you so you have a bas

yes, you said it better than I did. 2 out of 7 initial beta testers added more than 120 domains into the system each.

ops.. the sign in link at the header leads to 404.. it's fixed now. I usually used form on the left so I didn't test this link in a while. Thanks for finding it :) As I explained few times .. S-A becomes really valuable for webmasters with

by middayc 17y ago
Yes, those stats can be obtained by other means. S-A helps webmasters that need to manage 30, 50, 100 websites and obtaining stats for that many websites (and making them easily viewable with views,filters, details) would take A LOT of time

Yes, this is a very good observation. If you have a local website, then you want to have local related information about it. For example I wanted to create a localized version for my country (Slovenia), with adding a local search engine and

I am iterating the whole thing as you say and one benefit of me doing the graphics also is that I can redo it quickly without cost or complications. And I did it several times already, mostly trying to get the message across better. No, S-A

So far there is not. Would a video of it's functionality help you at determining this. Otherwise I was thinking of making a "get info for this webpage without signing up" functionality, but so far in my thoughts was that you would give an e

I didn't want edit controls to pollute the interface because after you initially enter your domains your edit vs viewing slice of time will be very minor. Yes, this is very valid point. I will think about how to make it work as you describe

The plan is to slowly cover more and more TLD-s. Each TLD's whois has it's own formatting of data so we need to make parsers for each case. Well at some point they will start repeating. I am aware that adding more tld-s in necessary, now ev

by middayc 17y ago
Thanks for your reply! 1) You are probably correct. By the feedback of beta testers Whois info is relatively interesting in two bits. Expiration date and registrar. I Agree SEO is much much more hotter topic. Will fix this. 2) Ok, thanks go

I used rebol 10 years ago and left it after few years because of it's closeness and artificial limitations set. The general closeness was a huge factor IMHO. I'm back now. With direct communication between community members and REBOL author

Cool. Because I work mostly alone I highly value external feedback. It helps me broaden/clear my view on what I'm working on. HN seems very calm/knowledgeable community so it's very good to know that I can also ask for feedback here. I aske
