I read it as "Amish" the first time. Now I'm sad that it's not that word.

There go my ideas: FaceStarter, FaceBnB, FaceBox, Face37Signals.

But still a go on SnapFace.

Congrats Ryan and team!

Looks like they're offering up a Macbook, a cinema display, a red Swingline stapler, and Dr. Pepper in the photo. #devporn

To keep the trolls and Debbie Downers out.

Awesome

I am from Michigan. I hate the Michigan left. It basically puts something between you and the other side of the street. I wonder how much gas I've wasted going right for 1/8 of a mile just to go left.

It reminds me of firebug+bug tracking. Very useful for websites. Is there going to be a Mac client so iOS devs can log bugs just as easliy?

It's tough for Detroit to shake the negative press about it. I think there is a lot of potential. There's a re-gentrification happening and there's a growing population of artists, musicians, and tech growing in the middle of the city. It's certainly not big enough to garner any attention but it will.

I think it's easy for people to poo poo on Detroit. Detroit needed to burn so something better could rise from the ashes. Change always happens when things hit its lowest point.
