new Function() parses the JavaScript code stored in a string into a function object, which can then be called. It cannot access local variables because the code runs in a separate scope.

Ask HN: Where were popular sites like Tinder first announced?

from the ask-hn dept.

Using Tinder as an example. Given a hugely popular site like Tinder there had to be a point at which it was first announced to the public in a forum similar to this (except maybe not this tech crowd). How did the public first hear about it? What was the point at which it went hugely popular? Was that day 1? I am not so much interested in Tinder, but more any popular site?
