I wonder if Virtuals Protocol considered to use their governance forum (https://gov.virtuals.io/) to decide upon bounties? I can imagine the community wants to reward way more than 10k for these sort of bugs.

https://status.discordapp.com states that Discord identified and resolved the problem.

Pretty unstable here, it loads but all the user specific pages return 'error code: 503'

Great job! Love the design. You may consider to preload the first x designs in the html directly, its better for the seo. What about fixing deeplink urls when people click your menu? Just use a hash. Will take a look.at your Js tomorrow, got to sleep now.

I'll make a second link, good idea.

It's fast, it supports JSONP and their API team is great to work with (fast replies on email). I could recommend anyone to build a mashup on top of the Etsy API.

Great idea, I'll put it on the list. Thanks.

Multiple things: I love endless scrolling and visually rich designs, I want to learn new techniques and ofcourse it's great to see other people using these mashups. Btw this mashup was also some kind of compensation for the damage I've done with http://Scrolldit.com

Inspired by masonry jquery plugin and after the success of http://Scrolldit.com :)

Pre-caching JSON results is something I'm testing with, expect it within a short time.

Thanks for the kind words!

I'm not sure if I could see who purchased through my site, as far as I know shopkeepers see it. There is no sort of affiliate program. So I don't see any monetizing options for this moment.

Showing a 'Please activate javascript' message is indeed a good idea. A complete HTML only fallback is impossible since everything happens in the browser (JSONP API calls).

It's on the list to improve :)

I think you hit the API Limit. Just fixed a bug that used an old API key for API calls (got lower limits).

Big chance you won't get that error if you retry it after 10 minutes (time needed for Amazon Cloudfront to push the new version to all the edge locations).

Thanks! The Treasuries view is a nice one indeed, took me a night to find a good way to keep it stupid simple and fast.

My motivation is coming from previous mashups I did in the same style. http://Scrolldit.com which was featured on TechCrunch (http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/25/scrolldit-i-heard-you-liked...) and another mashup I did http://www.ScrollFriends.com (Facebook Scroller, no viral)

However Scrolldit is (most of the time) a pure timewaster, check this: 377.913 (unique visits) x 1.20 (avg minutes on the site) = 453495,6 minutes = an impact of 314,93 wasted days on our world economy.

However with all those minutes wasted I felt the need to do something productive, I think Scrollsy.com is a good try. Supporting all those small shopkeepers, trying to give them more exposure.

Good idea to do the blog post, it's on the list!

I posted it 5 hours ago on HN but had to delete it because of API limit I had to resolve before risking a viral.

After they were resolved I posted it.

Trick: Click the about link in the top left box and flag the disable animation checkbox.

Do you have any examples of those fashion sites?

That's a good idea, got it on the list!

Thanks for the compliment! The loader is something to re-code indeed. Anyone here with a good example of a nice scrolling loader?
