mihar | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: Voice-over any YouTube video

Hey, good questions.

A.) You can't download the video, because videos are owned by YouTube and their creators. We just overlay the audio and play the original videos. You can embed the resulting videos though.

B.) Every video has a one-pager with a permalink, like on YouTube.

I agree that this not an optimal start point for someone who just heard of Backbone.js.

I do think, though, that if someone will still be a bit confused how to stitch things together after reading and poking around for a while, this sort of skeleton could provide just enough insight.

I released this as something that seemed useful to me and in that context should be useful to at least someone else.

If you're unfamiliar with the Ruby world, the usefulness somewhat disappears, but that's said in the prerequisites.

It's one thing to prompt the user when you start recording and another to need to go to chrome://flags.

Permissions for privacy invading features should IMO have a unified interface like they have in the OS like Mountain Lion.

It seems it "slipped" through the cracks, although it was discovered before they released version 23 for Mac.

They are working on a fix, but in the meantime, lots of people are inconvenienced using tools dealing with mic access.

mihar | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: Stairway, daddy that will enforce some online meeting culture

From my standpoint as an introvert, I see meetings done this was like a godsend.

I can’t express my thoughts clearly when there are other louder individuals at an in-person meeting. This way, I can sit down, relax, gather my thoughts and provide a whole lot more valuable input. This way everybody wins - me and my company.

Of course I’d have to say this doesn’t work in all circumstances, like free-for-all brainstorming sessions, but still.
