I've been using GSAP on and off since the Flash days. I really appreciate the dedication to their product and the effort they pour into not only keeping it competitive and relevant, but also the helpful community forums they've maintained all these years. Congrats on v3 GSAP team!

I've been using DDG as my primary search for about 2 years now, it rarely ever falls short for me. When it does, it's usually related to some type of image search I'm doing, I think google still has nicer tools for that.

Overall, super happy with DDG.

How many of the websites you love to use are built on wordpress themes?

I think one failure point of this thought process is that popup practices don't relate to the content or why the User clicked on the article to begin with. Popups that cover/interrupt the content aren't necessary and shouldn't be a "match" indicator for your company. Unless you're in the business of selling "annoying" products and you need people who are tolerant of that or enjoy being annoyed.

Thanks for the work! At the very least this allows me to consolidate a multitude of bookmarks I struggle to keep organized.

As someone who will probably be visiting this resource a lot, I think it would be helpful if a User could navigate to each section from the initial scene. I feel like scenes one and two can be merged in to a more valuable experience from the start.

I love how critical everyone is being of this site, despite the fact this organization has saved us all so much effort and time during our careers.

I'm easily willing to forgive a few browser compatibility bugs considering what they've done for the Web. I'm also happy they've updated their site, it was a long time coming and I think it looks great, certainly an improvement in my eyes.

Nice update! Much appreciated improvements.

The only thing I noticed that was weird is the search box seems to have different behavior between the instant results and the results you receive when you hit <enter>. Not sure if this is intended, but the instant results seem to be limited to whatever categorical scope you're in.

I agree. A small period of time with a great employee can completely change a company. I don't think past employment length is in any way an accurate indicator of the value an employee can bring. Unless your company objective is "hire someone who will sit in this chair for 4 years, guaranteed".

I found your list to be spot on. I certainly have my weaknesses from that list, but I'm familiar with everything you mentioned. I've been making Websites for around eight years, but really only the past four have I considered myself a front-end dev.

It seems like every month there's a new fron-end trend that needs to be experimented with and learned. It gets a little daunting at times (hard to find the time, really) so I'm glad effort is being put in to lists like yours. I think it would be invaluable to a beginner.

I like this a lot, hopefully they'll overhaul their mobile app using this style. Seems like this design is really mobile friendly.

Was he really using 100% heart here or capitalizing on the gravity of the situation to slingshot himself in to the limelight and boost his app sales and reputation? That's the feeling I got from this post at least.

Surely there were other developers who had "side projects" they really loved who happily went with Zynga. I really have to question why this guy was the _only_ one who didn't jump ship. Sure you can write a post claiming to be the white knight and not another corporate zombie like the rest, but that's very rarely the case.

I see this as a power play. Instead of being a "Zynga acquisition", I think he saw it as much more beneficial to be the David vs. Goliath. Good for him, I guess.

'I don't see a reason, with your next game, why you should not use the term: "Programmed by 'Draw Something'(r) Developer"'

You mean beside him saying he never worked on that project, right? Seems like a step backward off of the moral high-ground he's taking to lie about something like that.

Too heavy for what? Playing music? Sure, yeah it's way too heavy for just that. You have to consider all of its functionality and why it was made though.

Movies, music, podcasts, radio, TV, device syncing, iTunes store...etc.

Terrific I guess is a subjective thing, but considering what the software does for so many people that want/need to use it, I'd say that it HAS to be terrific.

There are talented people everywhere. I know it may be shocking, but some of us/them don't want to live in SF. I do agree though that SF has been successful in breeding a mentality where up and coming professionals should sacrifice themselves beyond what would typically be acceptable. Something to be proud of though? Not so sure...

That's not to say that those currently not on the list won't be in the future, they're probably just waiting to see how things pan out.

I was one of the (seemingly) few people using Oink in Orlando, FL, and I thought it was great. I'll certainly be more hesitant to create any more content for a Milk product because it kinda feels like I just fired off information in to a black hole.

I figured it would be killed after how little people in my area were using it and I knew what I was getting in to, but I think I'll still let other people be the test dummies next time.

I feel like this site would be a lot better if it didn't purport to be an infographic creation tool at all.

The core concept of infographic templates is completely flawed. Infographics are supposed to be designed around the data which they wish to represent, so how could one design work for various sets of data? Sure you can categorize and make themes for say food or finance, but what about the scale of data? Wouldn't that be completely unique to every case?

"Create free custom infographics in seconds" should be a huge red flag for anyone wanting to actually represent data accurately.

This would be a lot more useful if it were just a showcase and maybe a place for businesses to go to find the best infographic artists and hire them for contract work.

Agreed. Quote of the fucking year.

The navigation font should be thinner, I can still see it a little.

Would be nice to have numerical values shown for each slider for reference later. Thanks for this tool!
