"WHAT MAJOR WEBSITES DON’T USE SHARING BUTTONS?

The one that immediately comes to mind is Information Architects."

Welp.

The history of the term "lurker" was very interesting to me.

I am an active member of the shoe community NikeTalk, and lurkers are almost a daily subject on that site. Lurkers in a way are actually looked down upon from active community members (not me personally), since they get quick access to helpful information on shoe releases without out having to share anything to help others. If they saw this rule of thumb, it would probably be serious fuel to their fire.

Coinye already launched "due to legal pressure"? Didn't see mention of it in the article.

mattberg | 12 years ago | on: Why Sass?

A lot of it is environmental issues. Currently the codebase for the CMS developers is managed by global TFS repos. While the pure HTML templates are done by each local office in SVN repos. Good times.

mattberg | 12 years ago | on: Why Sass?

One of the tricky things for me has been in the handoff from HTML template developers to CMS integration developers. The way we currently have things setup, the developers doing the CMS integration no longer have the ability to make small/quick changes to the main CSS file. It actually has to go back to the HTML developers for the revision, recompile the CSS, then back to the CMS developers.

would really like to know more about this as well.

mattberg | 13 years ago | on: Alternatives To Git Submodule: Git Subtree

what are the issues/implications of "just check out the subrepo directly into the superrepo, and rely on .gitignore in the superrepo to keep them seperated"?

Sorry if this has been asked, but I haven't seen anything on it yet. What about users that only signed in via Facebook? Any actions I need to take?

mattberg | 13 years ago | on: Facebook buys Parse

Agree, I send millions of Push Notifications via Parse and I am also quite worried. I love their interface and documentation so I really don't want to switch.

mattberg | 13 years ago | on: Spreedly. Funding, expanding our horizons, pivoting

Thanks for the explanation. Those are the use cases I was kind of thinking, it just didn't seem 100% clear in the pricing page, especially when my use case would probably just be one or two tokens.

mattberg | 13 years ago | on: Spreedly. Funding, expanding our horizons, pivoting

Can someone further explain the "gateway token" concept? From reading the site I'm not 100% clear on the meaning.

did anyone else think "Desgin" was a new framework for building mobile apps?

mattberg | 13 years ago | on: Becoming A Boss

i was hoping to see in the article more about how to find this balance, sadly i was let down.

mattberg | 13 years ago | on: 52 developers give 100 iOS/Android games for free

Agreed. Looking at this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redinput.f...

I don't get it. How was that not free already?

mattberg | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: New iOS App - Watch your videos from Anywhere

yeah my app is J23. i will send you an email about the keywords.

mattberg | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: New iOS App - Watch your videos from Anywhere

I'm curious how you get an app's keywords? I didn't think that information was public. For example I tried your lookup for my app and it was incorrect.

mattberg | 13 years ago | on: Site Lets You Simulate a Facebook Hack, Goes Viral at PennApps

so i assume the app could be used in a similar method to your previous concept, but with all of the backlash (especially from Facebook) you had to make it seem like you would want to hack yourself?

mattberg | 13 years ago | on: Site Lets You Simulate a Facebook Hack, Goes Viral at PennApps

Agree about the options. When I have "hacked" one of my friends Facebook accounts when they left their phone around, I definitely had different thoughts on what to write. And maybe that is where my disconnect is, I can't imagine wanting to write what I would put on someone else's account as a joke on my own account. The idea is much funnier to me when used on someone else's account (their original idea I guess).

mattberg | 13 years ago | on: Site Lets You Simulate a Facebook Hack, Goes Viral at PennApps

i am confused, why would you want to do that to your own Facebook account???

mattberg | 13 years ago | on: Apple's App Store Secrecy Hurts Indie Developers

Definitely agree that he knows how to work the SEO. It just strikes me as funny to complain about a competitors app using his app name in their keywords, yet using "Timer :" is basically just using someone else's app name with a seemingly arbitrary character at the end. "Angry Birds :" sounds like a cool game.
