This is so awesome, great job you two! Any plans for a keyboard version in the future or will this always strictly be guitar tabs?

Hi Cassidy, are you a contributor to Elementary? I'm not a big fan of the current direction, that's why I was asking for projects that have yet to get off of the ground much.

A little OT: Where would a designer be able to find early-stage OS projects where the UI has yet to be fully realized? It's been a dream of mine for awhile to work on such a project but I don't know where to look or who/what is worth workin

For those not reading the comments -- "I would add that this problem seems to be happening with many, if not all of the Enfour dictionary apps, not just the Oxford app that this story is about. And Enfour seems to be attacking customers who

Perhaps it is just the front-end issues I use SO for, but generally the top Google results aren't the most helpful for me; they're just the oldest and had, at one time, the most traction. Given the rate at which things change or other metho

I tried to find it for the previous post, but couldn't recall the name (though I think I found it here on HN). I will keep searching when I have a few minutes as I've needed to cite it before.

People being assholes on the internet isn't new, nor is the fact that administrative failure in the form of moderation is the reason why communities of all sizes go down the drain. While Reddit wants to thrive on the fact that there are ver

Pseudonyms have been proven to improve dialogue because anonymity means honesty or at least a willingness to communicate without concern of reputation. No one wants their real names attached to their opinions on the internet, as those opini

Ditto. Quora's strength is only the competencies of the people who contribute. With any Q/A site that deals with subjective content that isn't moderated by knowledgeable/qualified persons in those matters, it's more of a rush to see who can

Most of these do more to underscore the lack of creativity in the candidate than it does to emphasize it.

I'd argue that the lack of strong, unsexualized and realistic female protagonists is the barrier here to begin with. The biggest argument I've heard from other women on why they don't play more "hardcore" games is specifically that they fee

Quality hilarity aside, how hard is it to email a marketing team and ask for a version that isn't fuzzy? I'd be pretty bothered if I worked at one of these companies and this is how I was represented.

The in-app purchases are perfect for this. You get to demo the brushes before you use them to figure out if you even need or like them. They're asking what amounts to what -- $10? for a beautiful app that looks and works worlds better than

I'd agree with underdesign. I've long-emphasized the point that if you're working in interaction design or web development as a designer, you need to know these mediums in-and-out in order to not only be effective, but at this point in the

Exactly. Sites like visual.ly are the 99designs of infographics. They're graphic design 101 projects with often misleading/misinterpreted data thrown on a document the size of the moon. They're hard to read and even harder to digest.

Brilliant article. Loved the bits about 'trends' and 'experts', that's exactly how I feel about placing emphasis on certain people and concepts on the web. It's a slippery slope when everyone follows the same path.

It's offensive because it's lazy. There are better analogies and ways of conveying these concepts that don't objectify 50% of the population. If I'm one of the only girls in the room, and that is how a point is being made in a presentation
