Looks good. How do I know this isn't a virus though ;)

Again would love to do it. Will keep it in mind for next year. I mainly was wondering re Perth as I have family there :)

I'd love to do Perth. Good tech scene there?

We hope to get around to that next year. Not forgotten, just a lack of resources :)

Primo: A configurable default Rails stack using application templates

Posted by cbetta on Monday January 28, 2013 @08:41PM
from the github.com dept.

Rails application templates are awesome, especially for hackers that often need to set up the same basic app, but also for companies that want to promote their best practices. Sadly the ecosystem around them seems to be quite limited. Primo is a new gem that tries to solve this by adding a command line interface for defining your default template and share it with others.At the moment Primo...

Ideas are cheap
Re:You half assed it. That is why your PhoneGap application sucks. on Wednesday June 06, 2012 @09:20PM (#4077087)
What concerns me the most of this post is that it offers no clear alternatives. Are we expected to write all of the UI by hand? That's not really comparable to native development.

I would like to see a light-weight Javascript UI and MVC library that is recommended by Phonegap.

Re:Redesigning GitHub on Tuesday May 01, 2012 @11:59AM (#3914967)
I've been trying to explain to people lately how to use Github and every time I tell them to go to "Commits" they get totally lost. Everything is the same grey bland, there are a total of about 7 navigation bars, and a lot of clutter. The fact that they get lost is a clear sign that something is very wrong.

This design is obviously a recognition of the problems and a suggestion of what could be. It's not 100% right but it illustrates the possibilities.

I'm very confident that the guys at GH know this though and I'm looking forward to what they come up with.

20/30 people on a regular router that has an IP range of 255 IPs will quite often fall over, I've seen it happen more than once.

Asking any of the people that signed the manifesto would probably be a good start ;)

I'd call it a feature, not a bug
Re:Show HN: Barebones, a minimal wireframe app for iPad, built in 24 h... on Monday August 08, 2011 @11:11AM (#2860298)
It doesn't seem to work really on an iPad 2 on iOS 5 beta. Probably a iOS problem but just FYI.

To be fair this is what Color thinks their MVP is....
