that's not the whole story of a hackathon - tremendous value gets added from the experience/learning/relationships built as well
Re:Getting Real About Design Inspiration

100% spot-on. The design remix culture and the use of design patterns is not just a reality of how the web works, but it’s also good for users. When design patterns stick, users become accustomed to interaction behaviors, and then it’s easier for them to use products and find the information they’re looking for.
The key, as Andrew says, is to synthesize your inspirations and to point out design inspiration in the appropriate manner (posts like this, maybe? a credit section?). Another key is to pick smart battles about when to introduce new design patterns (often based on the unique value proposition of your site / product). After all, if every design was 100% remixed, we’d never have innovative leaps forward.

Hi folks - we're currently working on a "how-to guide" widget for blogs and websites. It lets evangelists/experts package their advice into an easy-to-view, actionable list. Users can then choose to track the completion of each task in our web app.The link provides an initial example of what it would look like in action. Would love to hear what everyone thinks of this idea.

Omnifocus is definitely one of the best task apps out there. The UI is fantastic.
Have you ever wanted to use it for collaborative tasks?

In my experience, NY startups pay developers 80% of wall street salaries. 80% of 100k is easily enough to live on in NYC.
