Apologies - I'm developing on firefox aurora and haven't had a chance to test it on older versions yet. I honestly wasn't prepared for a HN submission but some more cross browser testing and mobile testing are very high on my

I imagine if your marketing team can write an ERB template, you don't need this. My current flow - marketing guy sends me an email saying "what does the 1 week follow up email say right now?". I send back the email. He sends

As far as metrics go, I'm not too worried about syncing speed. My main complaint with dropbox is indexing - it slows my computer to a crawl whenever I make lots of changes. Enough so that I disable it the second I'm on battery pow

Nice example. I think proxies are really going to clean up a lot of the Javascript binding libs out there. Any idea what's been holding back the adoption of proxies? It's still only implemented in firefox: http://kangax

I'm going to go against the grain here and say ditch php and build it on node. There is no better way to update your skillset than by building your own product with a tool you've never used. If you're building a web app, you&
