I read this after patio11 linked to it. It's an amazing resource, thank you!

@emdowling - your comments aren't showing up here - maybe because your account is new? The service looks awesome btw!

http://pcod.es - share, track and promote iOS promo codes (could easily be expanded to share promo codes for anything in a controlled way). Ruby on Rails.

Domain only: pushp.in - I have an offer for this so you'd need to be quick.

I've considered that, but the last time I tried you couldn't use the words iPhone or iPad in a Google Ad. Has that restriction gone away, or how do you work around it?

"Last week I came back to this idea and realized that there are good alternatives available, it should not be treated a reason to stop."

- Awesome, I'm glad you decided to go ahead with this. This is a crowded space but you've been able to make a useful tool with features other sites don't have. Congrats!

You're right: this is a British English construct and presumably allowed by the BBC style guide.

I tried this out earlier, just before you sent the beta email out. A few thoughts:

1. Keyboard shortcuts! I really wanted to deselect items by hitting escape but it didn't work. I kept trying anyway because I'm so used to Balsamiq :) I'd also love to be able to hit / to quick-search the list of elements I can add, then return to add the selected item. Again, Balsamiq really nails this.

2. I wanted to add a div with Bootstrap's pull-right class, but couldn't figure out how. Some means to add custom elements with custom css classes, even in a limited way, would really help me.

3. I typed some text (directly into a grid .row) but it didn't show up in the CSS+HTML tab. Not sure if this was a bug or not.

I really want this to work and it would save our team loads of time (meaning, we would pay for it :). Looking forward to what you do next.

Sounds good! I've filled in my details on the form.

If you're a hacker in need of a Mac/iOS todo list, I couldn't recommend TaskPaper (http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/taskpaper/) enough. It's a hybrid outliner and todo list, but scales from simple lists to multi-project, tagged lists with loads of notes and documentation.

Best of all, the file format is plain text, so you can keep it in source control, edit it in Vim (there's even a vim plugin - https://github.com/davidoc/taskpaper.vim), or whatever you want.

Watching the video, I was struck by how slowly and carefully everyone was writing. I guess I might do that if I someone was filming my handwriting, but if it's to compensate for the speed of the sensor it's a problem.

Competing with paper and a pen is hard enough, but if you can't scribble fast it might be a dealbreaker.

You're right to want to avoid duplicating your code inside your test. In this case, I'd work out some simple permutations and test against those values, sorting the results so order doesn't matter.

    assert(sorted(permute((1, 2))) == [(1, 2), (2, 1)])

Using CSS means you have to specify image locations in two places, with potentially different base URLs.

Using Javascript means you have to load scripts before the img tag, which can hurt performance.

Using http headers or a special URL format makes working with CDNs more difficult.

This is actually a tricky problem to solve and it looks like the authors have considered some of the above problems.

(I still hope they change it. Nested elements might be a way to go.)

I already know and use both, but find I'm much more productive with ruby because it's so expressive.

While this project isn't going to do much to simplify my Cocoa code, the rest of my app could be much simpler as a result.
