dannytatomon Run Your Own Piece of Heroku with Foreman

As far as I know you can run anything with it, not just ruby apps.

dannytatomon TermKit - Next Generation Terminal/Command Application

As cool as this look, I don't really understand the point. If it's not supposed to be a terminal emulator, what is it?

dannytatomon Ask HN: Favorite Design Blogs?

http://uxmovement.com/

dannytatomon Ask HN: Review RentPost.com

I think it's just a clever way to show their Twitter, Facebook, etc.

dannytatomon Ask HN: What's the geekiest joke you know?

A man walks into a bar. He is an alcoholic and it's destroying his family.

dannytatomon Ask HN: Did anyone else get a Google Chrome Laptop yet?

I'm probably a little late on this, but I had no idea it was going on. I put my application in today, we'll see what happens.

dannytatomon Review my startup: Tastebuds - dating for last.fm users

I hate to be that guy, but I had this exact idea laying in bed last night. Awesome to see someone do it with such style.

dannytatomon HTML5 Speech Recognition (in Chrome)

  Also, may I ask why are you abstracting Array.indexOf away and extending the Array prototype with a non-standard method for such a simple problem?

Mostly a personal preference, I guess, haven't looked into the downsides of extending prototypes.

Anywho, I'm fairly new at JS outside of jQuery, so thanks for your input and critiques. I'll look into the rest when I get back from dinner.

dannytatomon HTML5 Speech Recognition (in Chrome)

Thanks for the link, I've went ahead and made it work on any input field and text area that isn't in the not allowed list.

dannytatomon HTML5 Speech Recognition (in Chrome)

Heh, I had nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon. :P

dannytatomon HTML5 Speech Recognition (in Chrome)

https://github.com/dannytatom/speak-it

Right now it turns any text input into a speech input, but I might change that later. Or, at least, have an option to disable it on certain sites (have never created a chrome extension, no clue how long that'd take).

dannytatomon Ask HN: Not many apps released as the part of November startup sprint.

I finally got around to starting something towards the middle of November, and only recently did I realize there's no way I can finish in half a month. But, if anything, it got me motivated to actually start on something.

dannytatomon Announcing Browserling: Interactive cross-browser testing in your browser

As far as I can tell this uses StackVM to run multiple browsers in a VM in your browser, so it's a bit more than screenshots or testing javascript.

dannytatomon The quest for freedom and safety: Why I donated $100,000 to YesOn19

  Except as permitted under Proposition 215 and SB 420 laws, persons age 21 and older may:

  use marijuana in:
    a non-public place such as a residence or
    a public establishment licensed for on site marijuana consumption.

dannytatomon The quest for freedom and safety: Why I donated $100,000 to YesOn19

I'm pretty sure this won't allow you to walk around town smokin' blunts.

dannytatomon Poll: What programming language do you use for your app/startup?

We use PHP at work with a few Ruby scripts, and I'm using Ruby & Node.js for my personal project

dannytatomon Ask HN:interest in api where given a Twitter login, you get their interests?

One of my badges is "Fisher Price First Tweet," but I have no idea what it means and unlike the others it doesn't link anywhere. What is it?

Also, I laughed that one of my favorite topics is #fuckisuck. :(

dannytatomon Ask HN: Your project/folder structure for /home/*username*

Sorry it took so long to reply, there used to be a RSS feed of when somone replied to your HN comments but I guess it stopped working.

Anyway, it's for Arch Linux packages. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS

dannytatomon Ask HN: Best way to visualize / analyze website stats in realtime?

I've never used it myself, but http://mixpanel.com sounds similar to what you're looking for.

dannytatomon Ask HN: Your project/folder structure for /home/*username*

Pretty self explanatory, I think.

  ~/ ls
  abs  bin  dev  media

  ~/ ls dev/

  ~/ ls media/

dannytatomon Ask HN: Does anyone still use IRC?

Yeah, but I try to limit it to 10 channels for as to not get overwhelmed (I have a habit of wanting to check every time something new is said, plus I need room for bitlbee sessions).

I mostly idle on local user groups and language/framework-specific channels. I rarely say anything, but just keeping an eye on the conversations has taught me a lot of stuff I wouldn't have known otherwise.

dannytatomon Ask HN: I know this isn't reddit, but please review my cannabis-related startup

Ha, definitely not. I meant it in the way that in California I could get it for things I have, but can't in WA.

dannytatomon Ask HN: I know this isn't reddit, but please review my cannabis-related startup

Awesome site, if only I didn't need cancer to get medical marijuana in Washington. :/

dannytatomon Help Us Make Our UI library open source

I don't think I get the question, do you need people to help you open source it or help you work on it?

If the latter, stick it on GitHub and submit it here. It looks nice from the video, so I'd imagine a few people would get on board.

dannytatomon Ask HN: Music while coding

Hah, I like Amon Amarth. :(

I usually go between post rock, noise, grindcore, techgrind, chillout and lounge.

dannytatomon Ask HN web designers/devs: What are your pain points?

Maybe give this a go? http://github.com/jessemiller/HamlPy

dannytatomon Poll: What OS do you use?

arch/xmonad

dannytatomon Ask HN: Would you ever join a porn startup?

Yes and yes, I even tried to get a development job for a porn site once before but never got an interview. :(

dannytatomon To-do app + RPG = EpicWin

I've been thinking of a similar project for project management but wasn't sure if there was a market/interest for it.

In short, a project management app with an MMORPG-ish twist. Completing a task gives you XP (as set by another member of the team, or maybe random) and a chance at items, milestones being similar to quests, etc. You could party with your coworkers/collaborators (multiple people being assigned to one task, for example) or fight each other in an arena (has nothing to do with project management).

I've already started working on it for use at my current job to bring some fun and competition to the boring stuff (making craigslist templates). If anyone here has any interest in it let me know, would love to release it at one point.
