CalinBalauru··on The Hackathon Experience Is a Hack
You might need to fake it and that's ok.

Given that the hackaton might be 2 days, unless your idea is 'simple' enough to have a MVP in 1 day (never seen it happen), the second day will be all preparation for the presentation because this is what will win a jury.

CalinBalauru··on Bugfreak a free opensource bug tracker for .net and android
While we where working on our latest startup (omnipasteapp.com) we needed a way to get reports on application crushes from our early adopter. Existing solutions where either to expensive for a startup or did not had support for all the platforms we needed.

So we created bugfreak used a couple of weeks and then opensourced it:

https://github.com/agilefreaks/apibugfreak - the api and web app, same app as www.bugfreak.co so you can fork it and deploy it on your own server

https://github.com/Agilefreaks/winbugfreak - the .net clients (wpf, silverlight, aps mvc)

https://github.com/Agilefreaks/droidbugfreak - the android client

All packages are available in nuget and maven

As always PR are more than welcomed. Let us know what platform you want to have support for next (rails is already on the roadmap)

CalinBalauru··on The slippery slope
A much better pattern for the cancelation that I've seen is to cancel your account and then present you with the feedback form, they will get a much higher rate of usefull feedback this way.
CalinBalauru··on LikeBtn – ‘Like’ button for anonymous voting on websites

CalinBalauru··on Spectacular: a BDD framework for CoffeeScript and JavaScript inspired by RSpec
This is closer to rspec and the best practices for bdd.

I find Jasmine closer to mini test

I mostly use jasmine but they are both excellent frameworks.

CalinBalauru··on Show HN: My time tracking tool for your text editor
Cool idea,

My problem with this type of granular time applications is that they are to granular :)

I don't only work on a project when I'm typing on a text editor. I actually do a lot of thinking before using a editor in fact the actual time I spend in the editor is maybe 60% of the time I work on a project.

So for my case I will have to use it with some other time tracking tool witch is to much of a hasel.

Keep us the good work, I am sure there is a market out there for this.

CalinBalauru··on Prism Break

CalinBalauru··on Opensource WinRT subsonic client
Subsonic is our open source subsonic client.

At the moment, a user can: play audio filss play video files search for songs/albums/artists can create playlists (not Subsonic playlists but a specific format) shuffle songs

We plan to add some missing features that where not so critical right now like: progress bar for audio playback skipping inside a while file playing it use the random songs feature of Subsonic save/load playlists to Subsonic

Fork us at https://github.com/agilefreaks/Subsonic8

CalinBalauru··on Ask HN: gifting suggestions using datamining and machine learning
Thank you, this is very close to what I do indeed, but is not very helpfull for me because I can't purchase from amazon.
CalinBalauru··on Ask HN: What did the really successful programmers do differently?
Although 'never' is a very hard word, I found that in real live most code that uses early exists simply breaks SRP (come to think of it 99% of the time that is the case)

I know people will say "but I will only write this little return statement here" before you know it you will "add this little assignment before it returns" ...

Never might be strong but it make a very good point.
