One of the most amazing things I have seen in a long time. The patience alone (not to mention the insane skill level) is off the charts.

thanks, where did you find the link for: https://gravitational.com/gravity/documentation

Hi HN, my co-founder and I have been working on a simple social media management app and we're now looking for feedback. If you use a social tool for managing accounts, auto scheduling, and analytic we'd love to get your thoughts on how we could improve or features you'd like to see. Thanks.

That's been fixed, thanks for reporting.

Currently Vulcan just displays a long list which is not ideal. However in the Firebase Dashboard we do implement a solution for this. The approach I took there was to truncate the list at 1000 items and display something like [3,332 more items...] as the last node. When you click on the last node it displays another 1000 items, etc. Adding search to the existing implementation would be ideal.

When you open a node there is not network request, there is an open socket connection that data passes through.

Its usually not necessary to display all items in a 10k plus list as there is generally no use case for a user scrolling through a list that large. Search and showing a truncated list that renders efficiently would be a good approach. Ultimately the problem we are tying to solve is helping a user find the data they are looking for. hope that helps.

Thanks! You can open fairly large lists (thousands of items). 1,000 items works with no problem. I currently have one open with 10,000 items and it renders. At 10k there will be some performance issues related to rendering that many items in the DOM but it works. In the future I'll probably add a way to detect the number of nodes and intelligently render only items in view to increase performance.

You can insert Vulcan directly into a webpage by following the directions here: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-website. A future feature will be detecting the Firebase URL being used on the page.

You are correct I technically do not need all your security permissions to install vulcan. I plan on fixing this notice, it seems to be the default in the chrome store.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm the dev/designer at Firebase who made Vulcan during one of our experiment weeks. I've been using it for pretty much all my Firebase development since. Let me know if you have feedback!

Nice point, make a pull request and I'll merge, or you could file an issue and I'll fix it when I have some time.

Firebase is also a good solution: https://www.firebase.com/docs/ios-quickstart.html

Thanks. Yah wanted to make it easy to integrate in any existing project. Glad you like it.

Thanks, figure its a simple library to cover most of the different types of buttons you might need.

You just need to find another job. Those don't sound like forms of development, just unprofessional people making bad decisions. Good luck.

Considering how much money was spent on both sides, I'm certain any aspect that would have helped Samsung was researched and considered. After many months of deliberation and arguments from both sides, the verdict is very clear, they are guilty. We would all like to think that this case was simple and the jury was out to lunch. The facts however don't seem to support that. It was a long case, with mountains of evidence, covering a variety of copyright issues. It's also clear from the decision and statements made by Samsung Executives that they don't feel that their appeal to this case will be successful.

Even though you are being honest and straight forward about the creators of the game and the copyright they have does not mean you can infringe on it. You still need to ask for permission. I would suggest doing so before you release any more code or updates to this page as you could incur severe legal penalties.

That said, nice work. Hopefully the authors of this game don't mind and will support your efforts or work with you on an HTML5 version of this game. Good luck.

Not seeing anything new, did they roll back to the old one? The signup page looked new but when I logged in it was the old LinkedIn

I think it's an interesting UI design and concept and has some strong visual appeal to it. I realize a lot of the concepts in this design have been tried before in one way or another. However, just as important as the design is seeing how if actually feels. I think it certainly looks good in photoshop but the trick is executing in a way that makes it feel "right" too. Any plans for development?

"5minutes is hands down the easiest and fastest way to create and manage your web presence. No coding or design skills needed."

That's really a big claim, especially when you also tie in that you are product you are building is quality. I'm not saying that's it's not possible or you guys haven't figured it out. But without seeing exactly why it's the "Easiest & Fastest" it's hard to accept it as fact. A video would be nice.

An example of what this actually looks like would have been nice. Otherwise it's hard for me (and probably others) to believe some of the claims this page is making.

In General I would say that the "marketing layer" of your site should be accessible without javascript.

Once a user registers and logs in to your web application I believe it is fair to require them to enable javascript in order to proceed.

However, if you don't need to create a full blown javascript web application then I recommend allowing your javascript to gracefully degrade so users can still use the site. In this case javascript best used to "enhance" the experience but shouldn't destroy the experience if it's disabled. Hope that helps.

Also, keep in mind that this also depends on the organization your working for. In the case of government websites with strict accessibility guidelines, sites need to work without javascript enabled because screen readers for the visually impaired have a hard time viewing dynamically generated content.

Nice Ben, great to see this app continuing to get better. I'm really digging the Elements Dialog, would love to see that expand.

What if I want some of my circles to be public and some to be private?

It would have been great if the focus on the Gmail UI was aimed at "making it a better experience". Making it "minimal" doesn't mean making it good or bad. Minimal design can be great in some cases and certainly bad in others. I do agree however that this UI was not an improvement over the old one and the old UI certainly could have used improvement.
