My heart has just sank into the pit of my stomach. I am coding a very similar app, right this second. I'm going to stop and have a scotch.

This is a great example of why open source is brilliant. Everybody wins. We get a PSD parser. LayerVault benefits from the world improving they're core product too.

Can I ask what sort of libraries you're using for the canvas-in-page-browser-selector? Is it server or client side? The technology here is spectacular. Great job!

This might be off topic but I loved reading that post, it turned into comedy gold. The time I was at the third... (I don’t have any photos to share with them) I was giggling. And the list of people path called at the end killed me.

It says 10.9 is 'internally codenamed' so I assume Cabernet not the the final release name. Fingers crossed for OSX Ocelot.

As well as being a great game so far, it's a real inspiration that one person could put this together.

This is good but there are some more mature solutions out there, bootstrap has a very basic 'affix' plugin built in. However I have found the waypoints plugin to be absolutely amazing and flexible for any sort of sticky stuff: http://imake

They lighting effects make every move a visual treat. I'm wondering how much of it was randomly generated? Does story ending have a random outcome?

Since we're doing great opening lines I'm going to throw two odd ones into the mix (which are still great!): "In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." - Do

I took me a little while to realize but you can drag the video left and right. There's loads more people if you keep going. Which makes it even more impressive.

I always assumed, no ones mentioned it yet, that Safari was a link to the Mac OS X code names. You'd go on Safari to observe (not necessarily hunt) wild cats like Tigers, Lions, etc. Also along with the binoculars for remote desktop, I thou

I just don't see the point in responsive emails at the moment, all of our smart phones have the technology to support big beautiful newsletters that you can get on desktop/web email clients. If I receive a 600px wide email on my iPhone I ca

I might be able to answer this. Animating SVG is tricky, groups is a particularly issues because each element inside a group has to be animated as opposed to just animating the parent group tag (which causes a lot of issues with rotations i

Lots of people are pulling Airbnb up on their name, but I think it's great: Air = air travel, BnB = Bed and breakfast I'm not sure if some people don't know what it means because it might be a British colloquialism or whether it's totally u

This is really great. There's quite a few places where I'd love to sign-in like this. The one area where I think it would fall down is logging into web apps that have multiple points-of-entry. Such as chartbeat(phone app and website). I don

You're right, I'm really on the fence with this, it's a hard one. I'm going to look into getting a light-weight HTML email for the system notifications. If the right balance can be struck I'll go for HTML. Edit: When I say HTML I mean well

This is a tricky tool to create and is currently in development. Text has to look perfect (or very close to perfect) in every email client. Doing even simple things like line-height require loads of inline CSS, hacks and black magic. So cre

Thanks, great idea. We've been looking into color automation for exactly this. Ours will be a combination of canvas and server-side. Server side to do almost exactly what you're saying. Automate the background color picking and even detect

Not unnecessary. Just easier! ...and you're a masochist if you enjoy building HTML emails by hand.

Thanks! This did cross my mind, but I think (I'm not 100% sure) that bulletproof is a highly specialize word. You'd only make this connection if you we're interested in bulletproof hosting. You're the first one to mention it so I think you

Good question. A few people have asked this. I think there's a time and place to use rich HTML emails (and a time and place not to). For me the time to is newsletters, promotional emails, great-big new feature emails etc. The sort of time y

Thanks. I was in exactly the same position as you, I looked for ages for a web app chops up images and writes HTML but there was nothing. So I built Mailrox. You can currently save, duplicate and override emails and designs so it's easy to

That's on the url without www, check out with https://www.mailrox.com/ and it's safe. (but it will be fixed on the non-www soon). Just out of curiosity how did you get to the non-www url?

Cheers. It's a jquery animation at the moment scaling the image. I'm going to move it over to some nice CSS translate3d soon for smoother movement (and a static design for IE).
