I really like this but 2 things:
1) I really wish there was a pause button.
2) Please notify the user that it is using their YouTube account to play music. My YT history has now blown up with songs, and it felt kind of invasive.

Nice site! I look forward to using it in the future. One thing - when using lastpass to generate a password, it fails to fill the first password and only fills the "repeat" portion. Likewise, it fails to fill the username field for login.

So, they (almost) made a Kino? Now, if they can just get it to float on Earth, too...

If an employee is coming to you with those offers instead of just leaving for the other job, shouldn't that indicate to you that they WANT to stay, but they also want to keep their career moving forward and earn more money? Why is that unreasonable? You're sending people out the door that want to continue working for your company just because they're telling you they have better opportunities and giving you a chance to give them one, too.

This reminds me of Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe (of xkcd). Granted, that book uses 1,000 words instead of ~100, I think the concept is pretty much the same.

I have a little bash script I picked up somewhere that uses mankier.com to a similar effect:
explain () {
if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]
then
while read -p "Command: " cmd
do
curl -Gs "https://www.mankier.com/api/explain/?cols="$(tput cols) --data-urlencode "q=$cmd"
done
echo "Bye!"
elif [ "$#" -eq 1 ]
then
curl -Gs "https://www.mankier.com/api/explain/?cols="$(tput cols) --data-urlencode "q=$1"
else
echo "Usage"
echo "explain interactive mode."
echo "explain 'cmd -o | ...' one quoted command to explain it."
fi
}
Re:Ask HN: Why does 'View Source' issue a new HTTP request?

To prevent a new browser request and to get a formatted version of the raw source in Chrome, you can open up the dev tools, go to sources, find the name of the page, and then click the curly brackets in the bottom left corner of the tools. It's still missing a good cursor implementation, though.
