great idea! :-)

Absolutely gorgeous.

I know it would be very difficult, but I also know it's possible, so what about live preview? I generated something, it wasn't as good as I hoped, and I wish I could tweak it a bit.

If not, maybe I'll try to hack this with <canvas> this weekend...

probably hackernews effect, but I'm getting a mix of 502 errors and slow page loads.

love the generate wallpaper tough

Magic in progress just takes infinite time when code contains Unicode... Or is it just me?

This is what the developer equivalent of Dribbble should be!

Gorgeous work. I hope this means people will finally use proper presentation slides with syntax highlighting.

EDIT: I will say this, though: the thumbnail settings are so small, they could basically be text. The syntax settings are easier to make sense of, but I suggest just turning the remaining settings into text/buttons and instead use a placeholder example with the chosen settings.

If you haven't done so already, open it in Internet Explorer for an... alternative... stylesheet :)

10-line minimum?

Here's an obscure crypto algorithm I hand-rolled: http://instacode.linology.info/15261

You've probably never heard of it.

Pre-eminent Ruby hipster _why used to hand-write code samples that looked pretty cool. Could that be an option using some suitable hand-writing font?

Some examples:

Phew, for a second there I thought this was going to be what I'm trying to create, namely an online repository for functions within an executable environment, plus dependency management. Gist + play.golang.org + Cloud9 in one.

Before clicking I thought this was a service where you can paste a snippet in any programming language and it gets automatically rewritten to FORTRAN 77 (with a few random bugs added).

Well played whoever made this

Final image shows only part of the code (Why ?)

One suggestion: handle excess indentation. If I copy code from something and it's been indented 3-4 levels, it's pushed almost all the way (if not all the way) off the picture.

Love the support for Solarized, by far my favorite color scheme!

Really disappointed with the lack of APL[1] support. (You've probably never heard of it.) No character set support, no syntax highlighting.

I paste this in and it just spins forever saying "Magic in progress."

  # :: [event] -> [String, Int]
  def temporal_correlation_of_classes events
    events.group_by {|e| [e.day,e.committer]}
          .values
          .flat_map {|e| e.map(&:class_name).uniq.combination(2).to_a }
          .pairs
          .freq
          .sort_by(&:second)
  end
  
  # :: [event] -> { String => date }
  def classes_by_closure events
    class_names = method_events(events).map(&:class_name).uniq
    classes = Hash[class_names.zip([Time.now] * class_names.length)]
    method_events(events).each {|e| classes[e.class_name] = e.date }
    classes.to_a.sort_by {|_,date| date }
  end

Just so you know, I couldn't horizontally scroll or zoom out on my iPhone (iOS 6.1) on the page, so I couldn't see the other half of the site.

Its using some custom fonts or something, weird icons showing up where I would assume there is some nice looking icons...

if only it didn't ask for github's private email address for signup

I am trying to paste this beautiful letter to Augusta http://jpfuentes2.tumblr.com/post/39935683274/a-letter-to-my..., anticipating the most beautiful ever wallpaper in code, but it is still magic in progress after 5 minutes of wait though.

So this is kind of what its like to have interesting things to share as filtered images and friends who care enough to enjoy them!

Now I just need friends :'-(

It would be much more useful if you could select where the snapshot focuses in and the zoom level.

Still made me smile very much.
