Is anybody else using the OnBoard Diagnostic port? Is there some connector for an Arduino? I love this approach.

bloc.io and appacademy might fit the bill. Or are you justing looking for a website that teaches you to code in Javascript?

developer here: there are definitely some similarities to Context.io, but I think the key differences are in the pricing (free), push events, write and storage API, and permissions granted. We're handling all the authentication and security

Perhaps it is because your comment did not add anything useful to the discussion, but instead came across as an unproductive and unsubstantiated rant.

> Students only pay us when they find a dev job after the program. Either that statement is incorrect, or you are only charging some students. What would you refer to the $3,000 upfront payment as?

Can't recommend Filepicker enough. If your product involves any sort of document/photo access, you should try them out! I've been using it for a few months and have been pleased with the integration friendliness for a web-first developer li

Can you get multiple Google Voice numbers easily? I wasn't aware of that feature and just registered a bunch of new gmail addresses, which is time consuming and prone to forgetfulness. Link?

Same thing happened to myself in Seattle, except with a laptop and Dell Axim. Confronted the thief at a bowling alley with the cops around the corner. Guy rolls up with 5 friends/girls. I tell him I know he stole it from my house. Cops roll

When you comment, would you please add something constructive to the discussion that others may find useful? Your quick statement doesn't give any reasoning as to why it caught you off guard, what you expected instead, how you believe this

Simply because it exists in the ToS doesn't mean it is legally enforceable. Hopefully the "legally kosher" claim means he had a lawyer look over everything, and conclude that clause in the ToS is for the courts to decide.

I believe they are working on a fully documented and stable auth solution; we're running something custom for now. Our whole Firebase namespace is read-only, so all our writing happens with a private key from our server. I think when the Fi

We're using authentication in our Firebase app and it works wonderfully. Although all data is visible on the Firebase backend, we simply put pointer ids in Firebase, so no identifying data is publicly visible.

Can you please add some more relevant information to your comment? Expand upon why you feel it is similar to ADA, why ADA might be a better (or worse) alternative, if you have any experience working with ADA/Rust, etc. A three word comment

The Hackathon.io website also used utilized Firebase for all the messaging. We really can't stress enough how awesome that team is and how useful their tech is! We didn't do justice to the potential of the system, but the parts we touched w

Edited: I stupidly forgot to clarify that this would be most appreciated on mobile. With 3G speeds and most mobile browsers not offering any sort of plugin or user script ability to auto-show the entire url or subdomain, it is a minor incon

It reminds me of Roger (the alien) from American Dad. Not sure how I feel about that, but do agree that it seems a bit "friendly." The bulgy(sic?) right eye is what does it. My biggest qualm is with the italicized header text. You use it as

I agree completely. My first thought after reading this article was that while 99% of users may not view the source of a page, the 1% (web devs) that actually create additional pages find View Source, Firebug, etc. extremely useful. When I'
