Re:Ask HN: How do I get started with version control? on Saturday May 22, 2010 @03:34PM (#1370887)
Since Coda uses SVN, I would start by learning Subversion and then, when I feel comfortable with it, make the jump to Git.

I will go for Github's Gists, then.

Thanks for the replies.

Ask HN: Alternative to Snipplr.com?

http://snipplr.com/ is a little webapp that let's you save and share snippets of code, it has an open API and plugins for many IDEs and code editors.It was originally created by Tyler Hall (http://clickontyler.com/) on 2006, who sold it (I suppose) to the guys behind http://raven-seo-tools.com/ in early 2008.Since then, the site has only been updated in order to add more and more ads and on top...

Thanks but, ¿why it also hides Google and Gmail related news?

No problem :), the comment makes it look like spam, actually.

The Custom Formats. Colors.app can both input and output color values in multiple formats (Hex, RGBA, HSL... you can even create your own), making much easier working with colors between Photoshop and CSS.

It's basically a nice interface for the system color picker.

I discovered this app not long ago in one of the comments in the following article; which covers other little gems too, definitely worth reading if you're into front-end design:

(sorry about the delay, it's hard to keep track of conversations here! :)

Yes, that's too bad... The prospects aren't good either, it seems that Webkit won't support it anytime soon and who knows about IE.

Good to know :)

Very nice, it's actually how background processing notification should look in web applications.

With a PNG and sprite animation it could be really pretty.

My apologies. Just wanted to give credit to site where I found the article (which I have nothing to do with, by the way).

As I posted at the OP:

My essentials: - SizeUp + Cinch - TextMate - Quicksilver - iStat menus - TextExpander - The Unarchiver - Growl - Perian - Movist

Also, for webdevs: - WebKit nightly - ImageOptim - Colors.app - Transmit - xScope - CSSEdit - Sequel Pro - Changes.app - Reggy - GitX

It includes IE9 preview, and latest betas from Chrome 5 and Opera 10.

It's kind shocking seeing that IE9 is actually ahead of Firefox in this area.

Re:Dear HN: I wrote a cross-platform GUI image compressor on Wednesday March 24, 2010 @08:27AM (#1215505)
Neat. I've read that it's inspired in ImageOptim (OS X) and I love this app. It can strip up to 10% of the size of a 180k JPG photo and 60% of a tiny PNG. Will try.

There is one feature that I miss though, and it's some results about the compresion. Like "You saved 120KB (12%) of a total of 20 files (1024KB)".

It seems the main site is down, but you can get them directly from GitHub: http://github.com/yusukekamiyamane/fugue-icons
Actually, the main developer of QSB is also the creator of Quicksilver, whom made it an open source project once Google hired him.

That's why Quicksilver has no official site, by the way.
