And suddenly the world had no idea what kind of [fruit/turnip/pair of socks] they are.


Today Facebook is potato.


Experience. Time-served in a startup/dev environment.

Ability to communicate (hopefully) without offence.

Skin thickness.

/* amusing, yet inspiring and educational comments */


I delete your amusing, yet inspiring and educational comments because they are at best useless and in the way and at worst a potential way to lose a lot of money.

I've seen this one cause an actual, measurable financial loss:

//customer type X cannot purchase product type Y.

The code said another story, but someone trusted the comment. I only trust code.


same here. just now.


Nice work.

Suggestion: Add the new iOS7.1 "minimal-ui" key to the viewport tag.

It makes the top bar a lot smaller and makes it fullscreen in landscape mode. Much nicer for an 'app-like' experience.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width initial-scale=1.0 maximum-scale=1.0 user-scalable=yes, minimal-ui" />


minimal-ui is a god-send. Without it, bottom-screen tab bars in web apps are effectively unusable.


True. This is different to how Appcelerator Titanium does it - which does build native apps with native components, despite the code to build the apps being written in JavaScript.


Many people would see this as a good thing.

It's just a big site run by some American company. Amazingly, there are other ways to communicate.


Turks doesn't have fanaticism towards domestic good. It's a central communication channel that is known to run by people who seems to be fair, them being American is obviously not relevant to them.


I agree. My post was rather tongue-in-cheek actually.

Call me cynical, but it just sometimes strikes me as odd how so many people around the world now rely on a company designed to make money by selling your information to communicate with the rest of the world. Especially in today's post-Snowden-revelations world. It's 'free', but that's how you 'pay'.

It turns out it's a simple DNS block which setting to Google's DNS is fixing for people.


Maybe there are local social networks favoured by those in Turkey, but if they are blocked what are the chances the rest of the world hears about it or cares?


true


Hallelujah.

Now, give us a way to stop the swipe-to-go-back gesture. Or get rid of it all together, like they did on Android.


I agree. Node.js is JavaScript. Also, the lack of mention of PHP.


Nice job.

I saw this recently, which is related : https://github.com/lgaches/BeaconEmitter


Nice! An image in there bears a startling resemblance to an image I did in 2005 to try and describe what I do as a "createc" : http://www.flickr.com/photos/81073195@N00/2829444578/
