   It's just so much easier and safer to nit-pick than to take the time to explain what you love about something. But hey, on the plus side nit-picks can be useful to a project creator too, if only to help them anticipate people's ob

   Isn't what you're saying in essence replacing the cult of "Newer Is Better" by the cult of "Newer Is Worse"? You can't know that Wikipedia doesn't need a redesign until you see that redesign. People

   Part of this is that the demo is using a pretty old version of Telescope/Meteor (like 6 months back), and also that it's running on a free *.meteor.com instance that's not very powerful. I need to fix both of these, sorry abo

   Thanks! If anybody's interested, that clone (basically a much simpler version) is open-source too: demo: http://meteor-book-chapter14-2.meteor.com/ source: https://github.com/DiscoverMeteor/Microsc

   A lot of things have changed. There are a lot more features now (things like invites, notifications, tags, more granular settings, RSS feeds, a simple API, etc.). Right now I'm working on making the app more modular by extracting these

   I've always associated Gittip with GitHub, and contributing small amounts to cool open-source projects. But from the article, it seems like its mission is much more ambitious than that. In that case, if the service wants to shed its te

   Yes, this definitely seems like a mistake on Zazzle's part. And it's possible the artist may have been acting in good faith, and only wanted designs that actually copy his brand removed, not all designs featuring pi. Edit: OK, i

   Author of Discover Meteor here, thanks for reading our book! Here's an idea, what if you set aside separate time slots for working and learning? This way whenever you come across something interesting during your "working" ti

    Random observations: - Aren't Jekyll and Octopress basically the same thing? - Really impressed at how fast Metalsmith is growing. Might have to give it a try soon. - For now I give my vote to Middleman.

    Agreed. I'm using Middleman for all my static sites and blogs now. In fact I wrote quite a bit about various Middleman tips and tricks on the Discover Meteor blog: https://www.discovermeteor.com/blog/three-more-way

    Thanks for mentioning Discover Meteor! My own experience with Meteor is pretty similar to yours, it was definitely one of the easiest frameworks to get started with.

    Some very convincing points about the flaws of CSS, but I'm still not sure what a better system would look like, and how realistic implementing that system would be. Maybe the solution will come from new preprocessors (or existing ones

    As a die hard rap fan as well, I would say the vast majority of artists fall into that stereotype. I love rap, but even I have to admit that a lot of rap lyrics are dumb and offensive, and definitely play into the hands of those who talk ab

    The way I see it, a site like this can help you get an initial selection of 10-20 "good for Dribbble" designers. It's then your job to pick the one that's also capable of making something that's easy to use, or rath

    That's actually on purpose. We try to encourage larger projects with a higher budget, because we don't want to compete with 99designs and other similar sites at the lower end of the market.

    The self-curation is a great idea. It's something we want to implement on our own find-a-designer site (Folyo) down the road.
