   That's a good way to put it. Would love to read the post talking about it, if you ever find it again.

   I know it looks like it, but I promise this is not an attempt at kissing Dustin Curtis' ass so he lets me in the Svtble network…

   Weird that nobody mentioned AnyAsq, which is pretty much the same thing: http://anyasq.com/ Although Askolo looks better and nicer to use, so hopefully it'll stick around. I just created my profile, ask me some questions about design! ht

   It seems like a lifetime ago, but I actually spent one year in college mainly learning OCaml. The language is really elegant, but I'm not sure I ever saw a real-life use for it until today.

   Congrats on the launch! Very similar concept to my own project, Folyo ( http://folyo.me ). Pretty much exactly the same thing actually, except Folyo focuses exclusively on freelance designers. EDIT: there is one difference, which is that Fo

    Nice list of new features here: http://bjango.com/articles/photoshopcs6/ Seems they addressed a lot of criticism, and improved the UI for web designers in particular.

    Great team and great product! Just worked with them, whoever they hire will definitely be in good hands :)

    Thanks for the feedback, glad you found it useful! I'll be sure to remove the __MACOSX folder for the next update.

    Thanks a lot! Presenting the material live helped me out a lot, I've even incorporated some feedback I got that night in the final version of the book :)

    No, it's a web app. Although I think most of the advice applies equally well to Mac apps.

    I just figured most people already know about it. And if you don't, then you should probably read up on typography first before I give you access to 100s of free fonts to use on your site…

    I'd rather make people happy they found a good bargain and reward them for being early adopters than try and milk out every last cent out of this. So it's cheap on purpose for now, but I'll probably raise the price in one week or so.

    Almost, it's Proxima Nova Soft, a similar sans-serif. Gotham Rounded is not available as a webfont because Hoefler & Frere-Jones haven't come out with a webfont service yet, so Proxima Nova (and its Soft variant) is very popular as a "r

    So it seems the PSD doesn't work in GIMP after all, sorry :(

    I suspect this is because I'm French, so Paypal assumes my customers are too — And in French, we use the "," to separate integers from decimals, not the "."

    The payment process is actually outsourced, I used Quixly ( http://quixly.com ). So I can't change that, sorry…

    Sorry, can't help you with this… drop me a line on http://sachagreif.com/contact and I'll send you the PSD. If it works, you can buy it then :)

    Thanks for the detailed feedback! Really appreciate it! Next time I come out with something, remind me of your comment and I'll send it to you for free :) 2. I skipped this step because chatroom apps are fairly common, and I didn't want to

    Agreed, but I used an existing lightbox script ( http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jqu... ) and didn't have the courage to tweak it too much.

    I considered using it, and in fact, I'm currently writing an article for Smashing Magazine comparing various options for selling digital goods. I'll probably try it out for my next product.

    Thanks for your detailed feedback! 1. I thought about using a 3D mockup of the eBook, but I figured it was a little cheesy. After all, it's a book, people know what it looks like. I know, I know, that's not how you sell stuff… 2. I made the

    Sorry about that, not sure if it's a problem on my end or on Quixly's ( http://quixly.com ). If anybody else encounters that situation, drop me a line ( http://sachagreif.com/contact ) and I'll send you the eBook directly.
