This is actually pretty interesting to me, as I maintain a popular JS library [1] that depends on Chroma.js (similar lib to yours), and that dependency outweighs my first party code more than 3:1. Do you have any plans to add interpolation

This isn't a new phenomenon - my favorite past example of this is the FileMaker series of applications. The biggest hurdle to building most great tools isn't the coding, it's the process of carefully thinking about the proble

SEEKING WORK - Denver/Boulder, CO or Remote I build data-intensive frontend applications with an emphasis on great UX and excellent performance. Lately, I've been doing a lot of web mapping work (both Leaflet and Mapbox-gl). I am

I have been in an interesting similar situation with my Trianglify [1] library, and have made money off of it a few different ways: - Commercial licensing (the library is GPL) occasionally gets me a few bucks, but isn't a reliable sour

As a Monkey C developer, I'd say Monkey C is a better example of how not to design a programming language.

This is really nice context to have. I would generally agree with you that, in the current mobile IME landscape, it's hard-to-maybe-impossible to get close to the text editing UX of a native app with the web platform. I guess my point

This reminded me of the talk "The Birth and Death of JavaScript" (2014) by Gary Bernhardt, where he goes into some of the more absurd possible implications of what happens when applications cross-compiled to JS approach or surpass

I've been following this space for some time [1], and for me the constant struggle has been finding something that is both batteries-included, so I don't have to build a usable editor from primitives on projects where the core dif

Interesting tidbit: "FairPlay" was the name of apple's proprietary iTunes DRM technology that was eventually mostly phased out due to the aftermath of Steve Jobs' open letter [1]. I wonder if the naming parallel is inten

there's actually a way to do this with OAI, you just have to configure the html5 routing stuff using CloudFront distribution rules instead of configuring the S3 bucket as a static website. As a nice side effect, you can also enforce ht

I suppose I deserved that. What I should have said, is that I'm a little disheartened that this is getting the attention that I would prefer go to a site like uigradients with better UX and a less divisive tone.

Another http://uigradients.com/ , but with some very, um, brogrammer-y naming decisions. I'm somewhat confused as to why this is on the front page.

I've personally set this kind of thing up. Inherited an old PHP site for a webdev contract, and a couple weeks into development (before any of my code had made it to prod), the server starts hanging randomly, or spitting out seemingly

Backstory - a few years ago I wrote some code that mashed up the Colorbrewer choropleth map palettes with a Delaunay mesh, and released it as a javascript library[1]. Turns out, this tool is useful to a lot of non-programmers. A bunch of ho

I'm curious what the delta is between perf hit on an iPhone 6 and an iPhone 8. I'm guessing that, given the deadline apple had to get this out, most of the attention & optimization went to current devices versus near-EOL devic

Happy to see this. TI's newer stuff isn't intuitive unless you grew up using their weird interfaces on the TI-8x series. Somebody needs to move the needle on usability, and I appreciate having physical, dedicated calculator hardwa

agreed, the Array.prototype.reduce could be accomplished in a far more readable way using a simple forEach. If the function was doing a `concat` instead of a `push`, it would make a lot more sense to me as a functional example, because then

You might want to make that more clear in your documentation. Your current README doesn't mention Slate at all, I'd be much more inclined to go 'oh, this makes a lot of sense' if you were pitching 'Slate.js with the
