Curious why you need a menubar install for 3 dependencies. Really?...

Parse gets it, has an awesome cocoapod.

Also does anyone know if you use their Digits login solution if you get the phone number or do they store it? Couldn't tell from the docs.

Very useful tutorial! Thanks.

Removing the Status bar is such a no no no from a UX perspective IMO. I recall Rdio did this for some period and their app reviews went into the toilet. Undoing the misstep set them back on track.

The videos aren't the issue (they're loading fine), its that entire site's css seems to fail in Chrome.

Also the font they are serving from AWS throws a failed to load error.

Came here to comment specifically about that. I thought surely this was a joke.

Sorry is an emotion and this is a business. I don't care about how Snapchat "feels," I care about what they've done to fix the security issues and how successful that effort is.

Authy was already on its way to doing it anyway. Glad to see it sped it up for a YC alum.

It's not a dickhead move to send a C&D since they didn't bother to ask you if they could rip you off. It's not like it was 'inspired' by. They took it.

Look at the var names in the JS. Hah!
Uh... that does happen.

Pretty lame for society to be so intolerant of children. Was everyone just born into adulthood complete with manners?? Smh.
Re:Revising MailChimp's logo on Friday July 12, 2013 @05:08PM (#6035218)
FWIW When I was a student at the Art Institute of Atlanta, one of my instructors was Aarron Walter (UX Lead at MailChimp). He mentioned they paid John Hicks a flat fee of $50,000 for the logo and the monkey illustration.

For them, building on the emotion and branding of Freddy was not a joke and they wanted something that could be playful while still performing an essential business function.

Agree with the cost or not, it did start an era for them where they've done very well.

I imagine Jessica's fee was not as much as Hicks but not far away either I'm sure.

I don't know for sure personally, but I don't doubt that.

The title of this is a little misleading as I don't really discuss anything about Apple acquiring Color. I just link to the rumor articles.
