Hey man... Pineapple would like to say..... awesome work!

TallboyOneon How I sent 300k emails through Github's API in a matter of minutes

Well, that is a big yikes, but crises (mostly) averted.

TallboyOneon Game Show Problem (1990)

Is there a particular reason that so many people were wrong... that seems like a glitch in the matrix almost. I'm hungover, and suck at math, and understand after she explained it...

Even after she explained it she still received so many replies saying she was wrong, I just am wondering what's going on here that's causing this. That's just so bizarre.

TallboyOneon Keep Your Unsolicited Redesign to Yourself

Really... why should this upset you? People practicing their design and doing something they love. This makes you sound really jaded, and kind of a twat.

TallboyOneon Tesla California sales beat Chrysler, Volvo, Cadillac, other big names

I saw the other thread about Tesla S.... never heard of it up until now.. To be honest it seems like my dream car. Going to test drive one soon and buy the middle or top model of the S. So insanely sexy.

Do you have a link to that?

He's referring to visaking (his username is green, meaning new)

TallboyOneon Tesla Model S achieves best safety rating of any car ever tested

How can I buy one of these? Is there a huge wait time?

And how does the performance compare to a regular consumer-level luxury 'sports car' like an audi?

TallboyOneon Pineapple – Web tutorials, tools, and resources that don't suck

All of it I wrote from scratch.

And yes I agree, a flag feature has been on my mind for quite some time :)

TallboyOneon Pineapple – Web tutorials, tools, and resources that don't suck

Haha, right on. Thanks for adding lots of good stuff btw.

I see what you mean - in the meantime you can click the 'favorites' link at the top right (instead of your name) and that will skip the profile section, unless you have a huge monitor that is.

I need one more vote to hit a magical 100 :]

Haha, whatever makes you happy.

TallboyOneon Pineapple – Web tutorials, tools, and resources that don't suck

A lot of sleepless nights... :)

It took me 3 months to pick a name, then it hit me and I said yes, that is so perfect.

They're not entirely user created. You need a certain score to add new tags, and by that point you have gotten the feel of Pineapple where I'd trust that user to add new tags. I also moderate all new ones that are added, and update tags for all new resources added. I also delete redundant tags, etc.

TallboyOneon Pineapple – Web tutorials, tools, and resources that don't suck

Thanks natch.

I feel it somewhat makes it harder to find things that way because it fragments things too much. It is tricky for some things, but it's kind of like stack overflow.. 90% of the time you're right. For the remaining 10% you can use the regular text search vs tag search.

Haha, that gave me a good laugh :)

TallboyOneon Pineapple – Web tutorials, tools, and resources that don't suck

I review each link that gets submitted for quality (in addition to people voting), although you're right about paid ones, I can't always see the real details. It's fairly easy to tell when something is good quality though, even without seeing the real meat. For example, these are paid, and look very good, just based on the demo, etc: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts

I already attempted this here with the wiki: http://pineapple.io/wiki

But the scope of that is so huge that it's kind of a daunting task, hehe. I chip away at it slowly.

TallboyOneon Pineapple – Web tutorials, tools, and resources that don't suck

Oh right, yes that's an image for this link:

http://pineapple.io/tags/all

That is a good point though, I'll add that in.

TallboyOneon Pineapple – Web tutorials, tools, and resources that don't suck

Hmm, where exactly? Everything seems to work right, unless I'm missing something.

TallboyOneon Pineapple – Web tutorials, tools, and resources that don't suck

At the moment it is a hobby. It gets quite a lot of traffic, but I'm more interested in providing a really solid resource for people rather than making a few bucks off ads and taking away from that experience.

I was thinking about offering paid tutorials however, recorded how I would want to see them (more live coding, and more complex topics. Also more start-to-finish projects).

TallboyOneon Pineapple – Web tutorials, tools, and resources that don't suck

Thanks man, that makes my day.

TallboyOneon Pineapple – Web tutorials, tools, and resources that don't suck

Ah interesting, I will look into that. In the meantime you could use tags:

TallboyOneon Pineapple – Web tutorials, tools, and resources that don't suck

Thanks! I'm at the point now where I will see something simply incredible that blows my mind, I'll submit it to my own site... and it will already have been submitted like 6 months ago, and I completely missed it the first time, heh.

I've tried to make it easy to find what you're looking for (tags, search by tags as well as text, categories, wiki, etc).

I should also mention that it is quite heavily moderated, similar to HN. People sometimes don't agree with that, but you can see from the quality of HN it beats anything like reddit, because grammar and quality are important. I'm sort of the same way, but related to resources. That really helps the signal-to-noise ratio, and even though some might not like that, it's very important to me.

My site was submitted 1 year ago, and I have since made an awful lot of updates. There will be a ton of gems on here that you will find, I assure you of that!
