News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Obviously, the getUserMedia aspect of the project can't be done server-side, but we can look into supporting the existing video->GIF and images->GIF logic.
Rich, you are the best
Gifshot also includes getUserMedia (webcam) functionality, is a full client-side solution, and has a simple API (easier to use than gif.js)
This is client-side JS solution. Completely different.

My presentation focused on creating new tools, but it is important to understand the concepts so that you can contribute to existing tools. Maybe in the future you will contribute to TypeScript.

Yea, I used Bespoke.js (http://markdalgleish.com/projects/bespoke.js/). Bespoke has a really nice Yeoman generator (https://github.com/markdalgleish/generator-bespoke) that makes it easy to get started and to deploy to Github Pages.

In terms of the converting to PDF (to upload to Speaker Deck), it is recommended to just save the webpage to PDF in chrome or another browser that supports this feature (you can do this by beginning the print process and then changing to 'Save as PDF')

Bespoke has a print stylesheet, which is why the styles are still kept.

I agree with you that functional programming really shines. I love using the lodash where() method when analyzing ASTs.

I presented this talk at jQuery San Diego last week (http://events.jquery.org/2014/san-diego/), so I'll link to the video when it is up!
