Next thing you know, they'll start intercepting Command-W's.
I suspect it's because the original app id and secret key are public on the github repo.[1]

I bet they're registering a new application and secret right now, hence the invalid API key error.

Ok, cool! Nice work on this!

I'm running into a bug on the second lesson. Unless there's something subtle I'm not noticing.

It helps to remember that: 1. #RRGGBB 2. B + G = Cyan 3. R + B = Magenta 4. R + G = Yellow 5. Equal amounts of all three channels = Gray 6. #000000 = Black 7. #FFFFFF = White

Think of the rgb color space as a cube, with each of Black, White, Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow on the vertices. Then you define any hex color as point somewhere in this cube and it's pretty easy to imagine what it'll look like.

I'm not defending layervault's overuse of the concept, but one of the (many) ways to achieve typographic hierarchy is to map the contrast of an element to the relative importance of that element. Look at it this way: Without even reading it, you know that the gray text is supplemental or auxiliary information, because it has this visual cue.

Of course, sacrificing readability to achieve this definitely isn't the best MO.

In this situation, it's probably best to differentiate between the two with color—but you're right, it's silly to lose the already-established visual cues.

You actually can't name your hotspot currently. It automatically names itself [name]'s Karma, pulled from your facebook info.

Re:List of Twitter Bootstrap Resources on Wednesday November 28, 2012 @02:59PM (#4844359)
Right, a CMS lets you implement an architecture for HTML and CSS, e.g. Bootstrap. I don't understand how what I said was "absolutely backwards".
Re:List of Twitter Bootstrap Resources on Wednesday November 28, 2012 @01:24PM (#4843901)
The difference between bootstrap and a CMS is that bootstrap doesn't mess with any wysiwyg interface bullshit. It's just a pre-fabricated way to architect your html, css, and javascript, and the default styling makes things look very professional.

Any chance of seeing a responsive build of the site down the line?
Re:Responsive design is improving the web on Wednesday November 28, 2012 @04:12AM (#4841675)
Something to think about: web browsers natively display content in a responsive fashion. Any page that doesn't display responsively is that way due to constraints put on it by the developer. It's great that people are finally embracing the fluid nature of the web rather than trying to pidgeonhole it into the realm of print design.
