   Genuine question: If this is open source, how come USD23 gives you access to source code? I think this is a great product and will contribute but I could not understand this part the about source code

    Here in Rio de Janeiro bikes like these are pretty common but they are not used by people on comune, they are used by markets and convenience stores for home delivery. Since traffic pretty much sucks in Rio, these bikes are the only way to

    mwcampbell, Thanks for your reply. =D In the high-end market, it doesn't matter, everyone is good. In the low-end market, Firefox OS has better performance than Android. From a high level analysis, your comment appears spot on but unfo

    Hey PommeDeTerre, Allow me to give a different perspective here. While in many other mobile operating systems you can build apps with HTML (saying HTML from now on but meaning HTML/CSS/JS, ok?), the API the vendors make available

    I'd rather use Mozilla Persona based login systems than OAuth based ones. From both a user and a developer point of view, Persona is a very refreshing approach to identity instead of OAuth. For those wanting to know more about Persona, chec
