That's a good point and something I haven't thought too far into yet. For now I'd say "no updates that introduce API breakage without notice/semver chnage". But if it's more intricate than that we should discuss it as…
It would limit its abilities to do things going forward, like integrate with Firefox's Web IDE. We'd like to, in the future, allow you to package your web app and push it directly to the simulator from a recroom…
That's really good to hear. I think you're right about it being like Google's Web Starter Kit. The WSK feels a bit more sparse and less idiomatic than recroom, but it's definitely in the same vein. I haven't checked it…
I know Grunt a bit better, but as I explore Gulp I like it a lot. In the future we may switch, but I'd need the Gulpfile to do everything the Grunt one does.
I have seen some invalidstateerrors on this for some folks. I'm looking into it, sorry! :-/
This is certainly the biggest reason. In the future maybe we can use ember-cli and integrate more with them. Ember does a LOT of what I want recroom to be able to do, but I'm okay using something that works better right…
Fair enough, I've asked the contributors/users what they think and am open to making the change for 1.0: https://github.com/mozilla/localForage/issues/219
When this was written, iOS 8 was unannounced and folks generally just used localStorage for cross-browser storage. IndexedDB isn't as high-level as some folks would like, and key-value is handy for many apps/sites. Even…
You could easily add your own backend relatively easily (the API is easy to copy), though it's not really "optimized" for that yet. It's designed with offline storage for JS in mind though, so the library itself likely…
If you're looking to do remote work because you're sick of your current 9-5, you shouldn't look to remote work to fix anything. I worked anywhere from 30%-50% a week remote at my last gig and it still requires…
Jason is a designer by trade, and is routinely involved with the design of 37signals' products. In the same vein, DHH is a partner in the company, but still writes code (as I understand it).
Ironically, I believe Tweetie 2 used to, before Twitter bought it. It allowed a lot of advanced customization.
Really? Most of the standard web dev stuff (Ruby, PHP, Apache, etc.) comes out of the box and works quite well, and if you need either specialized versions of things (rvm, virtualenv, custom Apache, etc.) or stuff that…
They're offering users who probably just want to use Twitter easy/quick access to an alternative client so they can get back to tweeting. Given that the app they used to use was banned for privacy violations, the fact…
Fingerprints will grow back unless you get down to dermal layers of skin and that will hurt quite a bit. Permanently removing your prints is a more involved process than this, but it's certainly a cute idea.
There's Sparrow Lite, an ad-supported free version that's set to release in the Mac App Store but hasn't been approved yet. Seems they're working on a non-Mac App Store version too.…
37signals has an extensive API built around all their apps with tonnes of 3rd-party native apps for desktop and mobile. If there isn't a native app for your platform, go write one and stop complaining. And arguing that…
Family households, especially ones with kids who aren't old enough to have a cellphone but need to use a phone. If you have a five and seven year-old in your house, a $30/month landline might make more sense than two…
Apple will not prevent ad-hoc app distribution on the Mac; doing so would prevent Adobe from releasing Creative Suite on the Mac because of their non-App Store-compatible licensing. Won't happen. Or if it does, easy:…
A touchscreen that docks to a keyboard eh? Have you seen the iPad keyboard dock? Aside from lack of mouse (which would be marginally useful in iOS, if at all), that's what an iPad + keyboard dock is. Compaq and some…
The presentation is there to convince you to use their script. I think more OSS libraries and software should convey such an attitude; I'm way more inclined to use software when the authors tell me that it's awesome and…
This is really cool. Hope you can deal with the legal issues, because I would use this for sure.
Fragmentation, in this case, is the result of an unmanageable amount of choices. There's a happy medium here, and I don't think the number of different Android handsets is anywhere near it.
There's something about the word "sync" that implies, y'know, a sync. I said no to contact sync when I installed Facebook for iPhone and that was that -- no problem.
The real issue with sites like 99designs isn't the quality (though it IS mostly terrible), it's the _consistency_. If you're getting a bunch of different designers to design you something over their lunch break with no…
