Stunning - both the result and interactive walkthrough of how you got there.

Will store this next to my collection of Sebastian Lague favs. Thanks for sharing it with the world

A few different tech projects that we consider open sourcing:

- A CLI release tool that properly ensures deps & CI are green, bumps version, creates Github release notes (with links to PRs) and notifies team. Is configurable to be used across projects (both backend and frontend).

- A deployment dashboard that shows what version or feature branch is deployed for each of our projects on our different envs (prod, staging, testing etc). Think a minimal matrix grid for easy overview.

- Elaborate bash script that helps setup all projects and dependencies local on new employees' machines. Onboarding was always a major hassle so we've tried to automate it as much as possible.

Appreciate the effort, but this one seems waaay too strict for mere mortals:

CHECK #53: JavaScript disabled in the Safari web browser.... FAILED!

We have a #world-is-on-fire that's only meant for doomsday-like events e.g. the API servers are down, slow queries exploded or a deploy resulted in 10 fold exceptions. Pingdom and Datadog triggers post to it, so if you see the channel name in bold, you'll know you need to drop everything you have and start panicking.

Hey there! All the way down to 15 minutes and as long as you'd like them (in 15 minutes intervals)

We're working on a Stripe integration (see https://github.com/timekit-io/booking-js/issues/20), but you could actually add it yourself with the callbacks. Check out the docs on Github or ping me on Intercom on the page if you need some guidance

You can customize the timeslot lengths, see the following config key:

{ timekitFindTime: { length: '30 minutes' // natural language input of duration } }

There's also a dropdown in the setup wizard where you can pick a few defaults :)

Hey, here's an interesting challenge:

The widget is using a Google Calendar underneath and as people try the demo and book timeslots, the calendar gets filled up and availability disappears. So right now I'm doing my best trying to frantically delete all the demo bookings as they come in so they don't block other visitors (which is what happened to you) :)

Hi, lead developer here!

The widget itself is based on open source components and is on Github (https://github.com/timekit-io/booking-js), but the trigger is that's it's using our core API. The API is 100% free to use though (http://timekit.io/pricing)

The Danish government has introduced a local version of this concept called NemID (i.e. Easy ID). It's essentially a universal online identity that government departments and businesses alike can implement. It's currently not used for public voting yet due to security concerns, but that's most likely a matter of time.

To this day, i still find the HackerNews+ (or simply HN+) chrome overlay by @jarques quite awesome. It has a Google-esque look to it and does a great job in keeping the overall style readable, breathable and minimalistic.

My quick summary: 1) Bad example of a detail-poor wireframe that actually could have been good with actual content text and more precision. 2) Explanation that wireframe leads the design direction and sets its own limits of creativity. They constrain your execution to well-known paradigms and restricts innovation. 3) A vague point about alternative methods of user interaction that can't be wireframed and one must leave the comfort zone of traditional UX.

Ironically, the whole post seems to be a retrospective reflection on how Intercom.io COULD have developed their own product, but chose not to. https://www.intercom.io/ is a direct example of wireframe-driven design that fits into the same boxes that OP wants to break.

I am blasted away by your completely staggering domain-knowledge and my lack of the same. Probably should stop seeing universe docus and study more science

Oh yes, PLEASE add tab completion, would please my inner shell-mage.

Tried 'sudo apt-get install bash-completion', didn't work :(

I'm curious as to what Achoo actually did? What service did they provide? Their homepage simply links to the blog post which doesn't really state anything about their product

Well congratulations, your first noteworty achievement: You just made the frontpage of Hacker News, gained a serious amount of replies and (most importantly) connected Wieth thousands of people around the world :) Now get your head up buddy

Facebook events have always been broken - in many ways, as you correctly states. This is a nifty little tool to fix those mistakes and must've been a fun evening hack-it-up project :) GJ

A little investigation:

Anon_Online notices of the event, OP probably high/drunk https://twitter.com/Anon_Online/status/278269562422697987

Odd-looking whois of facebook.com (notice the xxx domains and last update timestamp) http://pastebin.com/K4gAK3gi

Hmm
