News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Ideally, client side encryption might be a good solution for this. From what I've seen, there isn't a public API to work with skydive. Even some open-source efforts are mostly outdated by now. Maybe that could be something worth looking?

damn you [developer of this], had this idea pending for the longest time. yeah, I know this crowd knows this line too much.

Anyway, my approach would be different by a single feature: movie sync. I've already watched many of the movies listed, and would be great to give you my imdb rating public url and you filtering those out. You could even implement a basic recommendation system using my ratings to give best matches.

Hope you can keep this service up.

mind telling more about your experience on this? how far would you say "getting out of your comfort zone" did you reach? how did programming affected your life (seems like you meant you spent too much time doing so before getting to that... how was it?)
Looks great, the site. Would add sound notification on message arrival (optional).

it doesn't deserve the time...

first only works if a is a different var than b

second it can be much slower than typical swap...

and finaly, it isn't clear what it does if your code is for others to read
