donut2d··on Chrome Experiments: “3d city”
I have been moving around the map with WASD which has been working fine for me. I wasn't able to get it to scroll by going to the edges.
donut2d··on Show HN: Grasswire – an Internet newsroom curated and fact-checked by everyone
This is interesting. How is it determined what goes on the front page?

Also, the lack of animation when moving the mouse off of an item is a bit jarring compared to when the mouse onto an item.

donut2d··on CockroachDB: A Scalable, Geo-Replicated, Transactional Datastore
Have to agree. I have so many bad feelings attached to cockroaches that just seeing the name makes me sick to my stomach.
donut2d··on Off-Canvas Sidebar Transitions with CSS
Seems to be working very smoothly on my iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.1.
donut2d··on HabitRpg: A habit building app that treats your life like a game
Also, the ads look crummy when the window is too narrow, but not narrow enough to get to the next media query breakpoint: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2efgq76l4ojip16/Screenshot%202014-...
donut2d··on HabitRpg: A habit building app that treats your life like a game
Looks interesting. I accidentally closed the tutorial. Is there any way to start it again?
donut2d··on Show HN: Pintask, the hackable task tracker
Is there any way to share a board via URL, without requiring users to sign in? I don't want to make it public or have it show up in search results, I just want to be able to share it with people who just need to view it but wont want to mess with creating an account.

If that's available (and I just can't find it), then this would be a great solution for me!

donut2d··on HMO: Help Me Out
This is really, really cool. I'd love to see this in SublimeText but I doubt that it would be able to work as well as it does with Visual Studio.
donut2d··on My low-paying, early-morning, exertion-requiring job
Does that just stop you from moving onto your back while you sleep or is there some other goal?
donut2d··on RoomScan: Get a Floor Plan in Minutes Just By Walking Around the Room
AppStore link: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/roomscan-app-that-draws-floo...

Couldn't find it on my brief scan of the article.

donut2d··on Android Development Tips For iOS Devs
I think the problem he is having is with how to get to that point. There is a lot of setup to get to the point of just being able to hit the build and run button in Xcode. Of course, once that work is out of the way it's super easy.
donut2d··on Show HN: Luculent, a new code/terminal font
It does feel a bit weird. However, I do like the "fun" feeling of `if` statements now.
donut2d··on Show HN: Luculent, a new code/terminal font
I am enjoying this font. At first when I saw the screenshots I thought I wouldn't. But, I like to give every new "programmer" font a try. I tried it and I didn't like it at first but it's quickly growing on me. Seems to work best at 13px in SublimeText 3 on my rMBP. If I make it smaller then I feel the need to add line padding.

Before this I was using Fantasque Sans Mono[1]. Thanks for sharing!

donut2d··on Show HN: A visual HTML5 animation editor in your browser
Why are passwords limited to 16 characters? That's unnerving.
donut2d··on Inside DuckDuckGo, Google's Tiniest, Fiercest Competitor
This was my experience with DDG as well. For everyday searches, it does a fine search. But it fails pretty miserably with complex technical queries which is probably 95% of what I use web search for. For that reason, after trying DDG for about a year (for the second time) I switched to startpage.com.
donut2d··on PH7 – An Embedded Implementation of PHP (C Library)
I am a web developer and the static HTML + JS with a RESTful API sounds excellent.
donut2d··on iPhone 5 with iOS 7 randomly shuts off
I've had something similar happening to me on my iPhone 5 about once or twice a week: the phone will just spontaneously reboot. It seems to happen most often when I'm switching between apps.

It boots pretty quickly and hasn't annoyed me enough to care about it. Haven't had it happen in a couple weeks, though. At least I haven't noticed it.

Regarding iOS 7, the iPhone 5, and battery life I haven't really had any issues. Just noticed that the default screen brightness was higher with the move from iOS 6. Decreased the brightness and now I'm fine.

donut2d··on Grunt.js: Tips and Tricks
I'm using it to automatically watch for changes to CoffeeScript and SASS files and then run the appropriate preprocessor when they change and tell my browser to refresh via LiveReload.
donut2d··on [dead]
Looking at the source, there are a ton of hidden <input type="text"> fields. At first I thought the author was saying that it was because the field was stretched to 300px wide.
donut2d··on Hermit: a font for programmers, by a programmer
Looks interesting. Really wish I could download it now. I definitely want to see it when it's done, but how will know when that is? If I had even a beta version to play with I'm much more likely to remember to check for updates later.

That said, I'm really happy to see more programming fonts! I love Inconsolata[1] and used to use it for everything. However, recently I've been using Source Code Pro[2] and can't break myself away from it.

donut2d··on Zone2, the time tracker for Mac
Emailed! Thanks for the response. I'll try it now and if it doesn't work for me then I'll try again with the next release. Along with archiving I'd definitely want a way to unarchive a project. Just FYI :)
donut2d··on Zone2, the time tracker for Mac
Is there a way to archive projects? I would like to use this for my work, but I wouldn't want to have a longs list of past projects in the drop-down.

Also, there aren't tasks, right? Sometimes it would be nice to have several tasks under a project.

donut2d··on Zone2, the time tracker for Mac
One thing about things going into the Mac App Store is that there is no trials. This looks like it may be great for my needs but there's no way to try before I buy... now, it is just $3 so, why not?
