Localizing well has a lot of complexity - gender, cardinal, ordinal, etc. rules, and then how to combine them with locale-specific special cases (e.g. in Spanish, a 15-year-old birthday girl is a quinceañera) I am attempting to solve this w

Whoops, sorry, our fault - should be fixed now. The viewport meta tag was unintentionally locking scaling and initial zoom level.

Thanks for your feedback - getting the UI right is one of the big challenges for us given the complexity of the system. We've been experimenting internally with different approaches, one of them being a per-user preference "raw&q

The basic idea is we wanted a hosted Postman which allows you to wire your endpoints together "lego-style" into workflows (step 1 is authenticate, step 2 is fetch a list of users, step 3 is update the first user in the list). You

BTW, I just checked out jOOQ. I think you did a great job with it. This is the first ORM I've seen that really embraces SQL. Nice work

How does it handle operations more complex than "select * from user"? For example, joins and subqueries. And wouldn't it be nicer to have the database layer figure out properties for you instead of writing mapping code by h

Dumb question: after completing the test, I didn't see "soundfocus autotuned" (or whatever) as an EQ option. Not sure if it is automatically applied and then you pick additional EQ settings to go on top of it, or what. Hope
