Re:Show HN: A visual guide to the most popular CSS properties on Friday November 25, 2016 @12:30PM (#13038310)
I've put together a PR for lazy-displaying the property examples. This should help with the rendering speed. https://github.com/jgthms/css-reference/pull/10

Ace work on the site!

I have mixed emotions about this post. It's both really frustrating & reassuring for me at the same time. I've been working (with a partner) on a very similar concept for the past couple of months.

Though I'd say that the features of ours are far more developed (we're implementing most of the ones I've seen suggested in this post); you're first to market. I guess the list of MVP features we've been working towards was just a little too long. Lesson learnt.

Sigh! I'll just have to get that signup page finished a little bit quicker.

I'm totally unaffiliated with stylate. I saw this (http://twitter.com/#!/ormanclark/status/119324718527553536) tweet from @ormanclark & decided it might appeal to people on HN.

I'm not sure it's as evil as you make it out to be. It's certainly not clear-cut domain-squatting.

They're adding value to a domain & selling it at (what I believe to be) a reasonable price. They're clearly investing time coming up with ideas for domains that they can create decent logos for. You would easily pay $500+ for a 'good' logo.

Ahh, that's much better. Not sure how many people would know to do that to view in HD though?

I saw the hover effect. I was talking about something more like this. http://gyazo.com/9eeaf082b72b63cf020b8869ebad538d.png (Google Chrome's find feature).

Are the versions spaced along the timeline equally or by time apart?

Looking like a great MVP.

I've just had a quick look at your demo video. 2 minor things struck me.

1) It's really blurry. Can I suggest you either re-encode it at a higher resolution, or perhaps record it on a smaller screen resolution (that way you can keep the file-size down, but can keep the bit-rate higher).

2) The timeline has no markers. It might be nice to add some little indicators to give the user a visual indication of where the versions lie on it.

I've just started integrating postmark on an app I'm working on; their API & docs are excellent, they're not too pricy either.
