   Basically on keyup I ship the whole contents of the editor and the cursor position to firebase. I'm also keeping track of all the active connections to a scratchpad document so I know who is typing. Anytime the code changes on the server, i

   At the bottom of the spam post it says if you delete the post it will delete your Tumblr account. Since this spreads by people viewing it, it's probably important to point out that deleting the posts will not delete your tumblr account, a

    I disagree with your argument that email lags behind web design due to pack of effort. Have you ever tried to code a HTML email like you would code a website and looked at the result in email clients? Do this once and you'll see what I mean

    I was hoping for more analysis of the game mechanics, rather than the UI. I love how letterpress is really a territory game disguised as a word game. Instead of rolling a dice like you do in Risk, you find words to form your attacks. Rather

    Looks cool! As a designer, i must say you have kind of a lot going on and it's a bit unclear to me what to look at first. Maybe simplifying your front page a bit would help?
