You're misunderstanding what "problem" GitHub is trying to solve. Remember their slogan? "Social Coding." No other platform out there has the userbase, let alone the sheer usability of GitHub. There's a reaso

Coin is absolutely a step in the right direction for one simple reason: it offers a convenient transition option. Its most immediate use is to consolidate physical cards into one, but its true killer feature is the ability to instantly

Oooh man, this is an awesome idea. I will be playing with this soon. But just one suggestion: video footage of the app being used on the page, front-and-center. The live logo is really neat, but it doesn't really convey anything about

Show me something that is a sufficiently functional open-source equivalent of Skype or Hangouts, and I'll use it. But in the mean time, I have bigger fish to fry than ridding my life of ideologically impure software.

How hard would it be to remove the jQuery dependency? It looks like it really only needs $.on/$.off/$.one/$.emit, which could surely cut the actual size down a lot from 94kb.

Composures have been making "impossible" music for a long time. They just relied on _orchestras_ to play them. Here's one that does sound pretty great just on piano, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tds

I tried and wound up with RSI. I quit my office job after a year of saving, and I'm about to launch the project I've been working on full-time (and plenty more) since I quit. I did have a few small gigs to keep me afloat, during t

Very cool, but for some reason I really just want to know if you're using text-to-speech for that short demo video. I honestly can't tell with certainty.

Around the 20 minute mark they talk about an "IP Transfer on Full Payment" stipulation in a contract. The gist of the talk is, "Lawyers are worth it."

ActiveMerchant is good, yes, but I'd really like to avoid sending sensitive customer data through my servers, so server-side solutions aren't really feasible.

Other thoughts: A good example of the sort an ideal end-result would be how something like the Humble Bundle handles payments.
