Great designers are found on Dribbble. It seems you're making a leap from "Dribbble has bad designers" to "All designers on Dribbble are bad". Just because some designers on Dribbble choose to focus on visuals doe

That could make sense. In any case, I'm glad to be reminded that HNRankings exists. That graph really shows the drop, I'll print it out and file it in my "HN Conspiracy Theories" folder.

Yes, we'll update the book for free at least until Meteor reaches 1.0.

If you're curious about Meteor, I recently wrote a short introduction to it from the point of view of front-end JS developers: https://www.discovermeteor.com/2013/09/17/meteor-for-front-e...

Seems to me like you're throwing the baby out with the bath water. I personally think that's a mistake, but in any case if you don't want to run that command on your own machine, you can always try out Meteor with something l

Question for people using this: why use something like this rather than a ready-made professional template from something like Themeforest?

One thing the article doesn't really talk about is that Japanese companies are very active in investing in (or sometimes outright buying) foreign startups (for example, Recruit buying Indeed). I think this shows that some Japanese busi

I'll have to think about the business model thing. But what's wrong about the domain? Is it the .me you don't like? Or the name itself?

I'm not sure what you mean by "shaving off their earning for you"? Do you mean taking a cut of the project budget? I could do that, but A) it would end up being more expensive for customers (although maybe that's irrelev

Done: http://www.sideprojectors.com/project/project/70 Although I'm a bit wary about selling it, because it's the kind of project that could easily be used for spammy purposes…

Funny, this is exactly how I started Folyo ( http://folyo.me ) as well (which is the same thing but for freelance designers). The only difference is that I used Posterous as well to get an online archive of each project (you could
