Another one is called slate: https://github.com/jigish/slate

Very flexible, my favorite feature is that configs can be written in JS, here's mine: https://gist.github.com/tnajdek/48ea2a2ccac365b91f29

Re:Good laptops for Linux on Sunday March 16, 2014 @06:15PM (#7411631)
I've tried that and failed. Few problems to expect: switchable graphics, external screens, crazy DPI, wifi drivers. For more details have a look at my blog entry: http://doppnet.com/2013/02/running-linux-on-2012-macbook-pro...

I've ended up going for Asus U500. It's good but not ideal.

I've just ordered one over the phone, Farnell adds a surcharge so the grand total is a little over £36. Surprisingly no wait time on the phone whatsoever! The number is 08447111111.
Re:Introducing the HUD. Say hello to the future of the menu on Tuesday January 24, 2012 @01:12PM (#3505890)
Seems like there have been mostly negative comments here, admittedly I haven't used this yet but I think it's a great idea. Ultimately this is not supposed to replace key-bindings but rather allow me to quickly access features that I normally don't access without hunting for it in the toolbar menu. Sounds especially useful in applications where you heavily use keyboard (like text editors for example).

I believe/hope that experience will be similar to the 'command palette' of Sublime Text 2 where you can execute a feature that you don't use very often (e.g. convert to lower case <ctrl+shit+p> low<enter>) without hunting for it in the menu.

For me theory sounds good, I need to test it myself to decide whether I like it in practice or not.

Re:Bye Daddy: Search who hasn't fled GoDaddy yet on Monday December 26, 2011 @07:28AM (#3392791)
doesn't seem to work. I still have one domain that is not pointing at anything at the moment but is registered with godaddy (will move it soon!) and byedaddy says it "doesn't appear registered with GoDaddy"?

Re:Show HN: roll.io eats txt files and shits youtube videos. Useful? on Friday June 17, 2011 @08:19AM (#2665225)
I love how simple yet functional it is. If I can suggest just a few minor things:

1. We have the 'hide video' options, can we please have 'hide list' option which makes video bigger?

2. Can we have the 'always select best quality' switch?

With these features roll.io would make it to my favorite music players list.
