Now that you mention it, it's sort of surprising that there's not a url for each user. It's not quite as useful, but a quick look at network activity shows the data gets pulled from /user/[name].json, like: http://hn-karma-tracker.herokuap

ThemeForest require themes sold there to use the split licence. It's a requirement to sell on the marketplace. It's part of the agreement. That seems pretty standard, you get the power of the marketplace, they get to dictate the content the

There's an explanation transcribed in the post from a podcast: So the idea behind the split license is to protect authors in terms of their designs and things like that. The parts that have to be GPL are GPL, the parts that don’t have to b

I dislike pagination, honestly, and find the scrolling effect a little too jarring. However the scrolling effect DID actually remind me of my own natural behaviour. I tend to either randomly selecting and unselecting the paragraph I'm focus

Pocket used to be Read it Later, a paid app. Early this year they switched to Pocket, went free, and raised $5m. So right now, afaik, they don't make any money. The founder has said in articles/interviews that going free was the right choic

On iPhone pricing in Australia, can someone let me know if this is a contract thing, like hidden costs on the US version, because the US store lists the cheapest iPhone 5 as $199, where the AU store lists it as $799. $199USD =~ $189AUD. On
