There's also http://github.com/arnemart/slid.js (disclosure: I wrote this)

No fancy transitions, but does not need ncurses and supports syntax highlighting and images.

This can be avoided by just not using JSX. The React DOM API is not really that hard to use.

Very nice! I have made one as well[1], it is based on Markdown and not nearly as fancy.

Mostly it's just annoying.

"Will Betteridge's law be mentioned if this headline is submitted to Hacker News?"
Stevens talk at Full Frontal was absolutely fantastic, one of the best I have ever seen. I highly recommend watching the video once it comes out. It is very impressive to see such complex topics being presented with such ease and style.

This was done as a lightning talk the night before the Web Rebels conference in Oslo in May. I was there, and Magnar completely killed it. Awesome stuff.
Re:WYSIHTML5: A better approach to rich text editing on Monday May 21, 2012 @08:57AM (#4002598)
That sounds very promising. Do you have a time frame for this release?

Yes, it works beautifully* on iOS5.

* For a given value of “beautiful”

Well, it IS Michael Arrington he's talking about.
Re:Webdesigners: please make text readable on Tuesday July 26, 2011 @10:21AM (#2807411)
Yes, a thousand times yes. Even worse are those who use

    -webkit-text-stroke: 1px transparent;
which absolutely _kills_ scrolling performance.
This is pretty, but I really think the grid should be fluid, and not just jump between states.

Textmate users should absolutely check out AckMate (https://github.com/protocool/AckMate), which runs circles around "find in project".
Experts Exchange.
The website used as an example in the first screenshot (http://thecontentfarm.tumblr.com/) just made my day.
Re:Impossible for the HN crowd: Do nothing for 2 minutes on Thursday January 20, 2011 @01:31PM (#2124678)
I opened the page in a tab in the background, and when I got around to viewing it I had already won. That was easy.
Re:Best Website Designs of 2010 on Saturday January 01, 2011 @12:38PM (#2057903)
"Showcasing 65 of the Best Website Designs of 2010"

I pretty much stopped reading and closed the tab after that. Seriously, 65?

Re:A virus could increase lithium batteries capacity by 10x on Thursday December 09, 2010 @08:02AM (#1987227)
There seems to be news about new and revolutionary battery technologies that will increase capacity N-fold every few weeks. I have more or less stopped reading about this, as none of the ideas ever seem to make it to the market. I prefer to be ignorant of emerging battery tech, and would rather be pleasantly surprised if anything of this actually turns into a product :-)
Re:I always forget the argument order of the `ln -s` command on Thursday December 09, 2010 @03:02AM (#1986581)
Same here. lns is always one of the first things I install on a new system.
Re:Ymacs -- An Emacs-like editor for the Web on Wednesday November 03, 2010 @04:22AM (#1864143)
My first thought was "Whymacs?" but this is actually pretty cool. Shame I've never gotten around to learning emacs.
