Re:Objectify: A Better Way to Build Rails Applications on Wednesday May 23, 2012 @06:45PM (#4015722)

Objectify is a nice framework, but after reading the examples in README made me feel like I am required to take extra iterations: create new responder files, write more codes for each Responder class, etc. This approach is little tedious.

I personally think that writing reusable libraries using Decorator/Presenter patterns or Modules with ActiveSupport::Concern is simple approach.

I highly recommend Objects on Rails book: http://objectsonrails.com/

Re:Show HN: Habit List - my first iOS app on Monday May 21, 2012 @12:01AM (#4001218)

Congrats! I have been using this Streaks (iOS) for a while since I like the functionality of this and it has options where you can skip weekends: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/streaks-motivational-calendar...

I will try this app now!

Re:Rails Console Tips on Thursday May 17, 2012 @07:04PM (#3989580)

it would be nice to have a community site where people can share some tricks in any programming languages/tools.

Similar site I have been waiting for since Feb: http://rubyreloaded.com/trickshots/

Re:Light Table Is On Kickstarter on Wednesday April 18, 2012 @12:17AM (#3856457)

Was going to pledge the project, but saw "it is browser-based, it will packaged in a webview of some kind so that it feels like a normal app". Nothing wrong with browser-based editor, but I am comfortable with native app. That's my personal preference.

Re:Ace - Sinatra for Node with Fibers on Tuesday February 14, 2012 @06:25PM (#3592268)

+1 ACE Editor and Ace - Sinatra for Node might be confusing.

Maybe name it "Frank" (Frank Sinatra) or "Ray" (Ray Charles). :-)

Re:Show HN: my weekend project, Gumb.io - a Gumroad Marketplace on Monday February 13, 2012 @10:51AM (#3585995)

Even people can use gumroad for donations for open source projects or anything.

Re:Show HN: my weekend project, Gumb.io - a Gumroad Marketplace on Monday February 13, 2012 @10:39AM (#3585949)

BTW, it would be nice to have the ability to delete link and re-enter the link because I have modified details @ gumroad and then your site is still saved old information.

For example:

I updated info: https://gumroad.com/l/gsg

Re:Show HN: my weekend project, Gumb.io - a Gumroad Marketplace on Monday February 13, 2012 @10:32AM (#3585932)

I really like the idea here. Good lucrative opportunity.

So I can start selling some projects and source codes I have crafted.

Re:ASCII interactive fluid animation on Wednesday February 08, 2012 @12:57PM (#3567601)

This is really cool, but it is intensely consuming the 80% of my cpu resource (osx 10.7.3 intel dual core & 8gb ram).

Re:Show HN: Pinterest for Hacker News on Sunday February 05, 2012 @06:07PM (#3555602)

Thanks for suggestion. I need to find powerful API like http://api.ihackernews.com/.

I'll improve the site tonight and this weekend.

Re:Show HN: Pinterest for Hacker News on Sunday February 05, 2012 @05:35PM (#3555519)

No. The API I am using might not work. I need to find powerful API than http://api.ihackernews.com

Re:Show HN: Pinterest for Hacker News on Sunday February 05, 2012 @05:33PM (#3555514)

Thanks for suggestion. I'll update the site tonight

Sorry for not working since API isn't responsive. :-(

Re:Show HN: Pinterest for Hacker News on Sunday February 05, 2012 @05:31PM (#3555512)

Yeah I wasn't expecting the issue. I think the API I use is getting hammered. Gauges said I have 1k unique visitors in 20 mins.

http://api.ihackernews.com is all I can find but alternative one is what I'm looking for.
