I hope you don’t mind, but I couldn’t stand reading that list and cleaned it up in a gist instead: http://pygm.us/cjvjHnCi . The list itself is amazing and just what I have been looking for, though. :)

Definitely. It just seems to go against the intent. But it’s not like my project isn’t littered with JS files, so a line of JavaScript more or less probably won’t make much of a dent. Especially when it is a fairly lightweight service. I al

This is truly great, and might actually be something I could use—although it needs to interface with a list of hundreds or thousands of entries. I don’t know if it is scalable in that case. Probably not, if it needs to display the entire li

I was thinking about something dynamic and interactive with dialogues like “Does this apply to you?”, where people can click Yes or No . Because you are entirely right, and there will never be a one-size-fits-all file . That’s why I am

Some great guidelines in there. I added some to my own as a result. Thinking over these guidelines, I think it could be useful to popular projects to have a set of canned responses to different kinds of erroneous issues and pull requests. T

It was private at first, but frankly, as I am sure bloggers with an effective audience of zero like I can attest, the chance of serendipitous fame and popularity is so infinitesimal in this digital age that I consider public repos for obs

As my first open source project, I would have been happy if it got ten watchers. Now it got 439 which meant a great responsibility. This part really rang true to me. I’m working on a hobby project on GitHub I think is goin

That’s a great point about the inherent ability to extend the number of tags that isn’t inherently present in Markdown. I am currently writing a forum CMS ( http://pygm.us/IbkgNZ4d ), and I, too, have wondered how to expand the number of ta

I’m creating a new forum CMS in Django for fun basically, if anyone wants to kick the tires of it and try something newer than the usual CMSes: http://pygm.us/nPrOiHJo . I don’t know which Greek letter you’d use for its progress, but it is

This is what a bill for my blog with some hundreds or few thousands of hits looks like: http://pygm.us/s6mFV+OP . This is solely S3. Aside from being unable to figure out a anti-hotlink bucket policy, S3 is great and basically free in most

I just think the chosen background colour is a little too dark. Something about the colour (#F5F5F5?) is off to me.

The new design is really great and in many ways better than GitHub’s. Now people unfamiliar with the services might actually be able to find a download button for once. Another place where GitHub is really dropping the ball is in the social

On that note, does anyone know a working S3 policy script to prevent hotlinking outside your domain/bucket? I can't get any to work.

Well, ask if people are satisfied with their own blog CMS, and they'll probably say "no". I had to use something as obscure as Blogofile to satisfy my needs. ## Technically I think some competition for Jekyll is sorely missed, and no one wh

The profile is a real improvement (although it might be preferable to fit more repos into a smaller space?), but the public activity stream still seems as hopeless as before. I pointed out some reasons with pictures for the older version, b

Thanks for the typeface. I really appreciate it. If you want an example of it in action, you can go to a deployed example of my app at http://pygm.us/kzXSwSRV with the log-in admin//password . I haven't gotten around to letting people ch

As someone working on a free open-source project that is almost as text-intensive as it can get, I was really happy to see a dyslexia font/typeface that was truly free, when Marco Arment announced it would be included in Instapaper. The gis

Their customer is abysmal . They never respond on Twitter—fair enough, other registrars do, though—and it took four days to get a response to why I couldn’t log in. I even had to go through weird escalations to higher “tiers” of support. I

My mind was slightly blown today, when I realized that http://productivitycalendar.com and .net (and all other permutations) were available. There are still some excellent domains left, as difficult as it can seem to find some good ones.
