General statements are dangerous. UX is often but not always the most important part of a project. For projects where speed of development or cross platform support trump UX, PhoneGap can be an awesome tool.

Bing launched this a while ago, with fully local translations. Each language pack is about 30MB. OCR and translation are local, and the translation is fairly good (not just a simple dictionary lookup). http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/app

You've got the idea. We're focusing on great clients to make the upload painless and keep everything up to date. Videos are next, but as you point out a lot harder.

Great write up. My current startup is working on exactly this problem (pulling together all your photos from different devices and making it easy to find a specific moment). You might want to check it out, it should make the backup and expl

I've set up this exact flow using delayed_job, heroku, S3 and paperclip (an awesome gem wrapping imagemagick). I'm with jblake, I don't see the advantage.

simple, but increased my delayed_job throughput on Heroku by 3x. Your performance will depend on the nature of the delayed work, but mine alternated between blocking on IO and CPU intensive work.

I thought I'd share my latest project: FolioSpace.me It's a little similar to geekli.st or swym, in that it allows you to show off a portfolio of what you made. It's a little different in that it focuses on adding everyone who contributed t

Great link. The top answer from GitHub nailed it. None of the proposed lists included 'legal' which I would consider the top priority. You can't guess every possible problem, so don't try. Also, after wire framing, I also found I needed the
