   I hate to be that guy, but I really don't see Dart going anywhere (at least inside a browser). Microsoft will probably never support it. For the same reason, it's not looking good in any other browsers either. Even if it did get immediate a

   Where the traditional box model starts to make sense is with fixed-size elements, such as images. Adding padding to an element shouldn't alter the dimensions of the contents within the element.

   I really made this to scratch an itch, as I have a Twitter account with 9k+ followers and I wanted to see who the most popular followers were. You can't really do that with Twitter, so I learned a bit about their API and built this service

    This is my first experiment with the Twitter API. It was interesting trying to work within the constraints of their request limits. Also, JavaScript is not the best language to be doing this type of mining stuff with. An account with 10k fo

    I agree with the Grub Now button looking too much like a random image (or an ad) to be the main Call to Action button. I think removing the bite-mark and adding it as an onclick effect would do lots for UX.

    This looks like a cool idea, but a search-centric menu system doesn't allow for "discovery" of the item you might be looking for. Sometimes at the end of a long day I might be burnt out and not have in my head exactly what the item I need i
