drewschrauf··on Warning: Google Authenticator upgrade loses all accounts
I used my Pebble watch for TFA. You have to compile the app yourself but it's pretty easy. https://github.com/aaronpk/pebble-authenticator

drewschrauf··on Just released a major update for my site. What do you guys think?
Nice! Just a couple of minor nitpicks:

1. The delay between updating the regex/test text and seeing the result is a little long. I find regex tools much more useful if I can see the results change as I'm typing.

2. I did a simple regex with two capture groups and the second backreference came up red in the matches box. As soon as I see red, I assume there's an error. Might be worth removing those "danger colours" from the list.

Other than that, looking good!

I adore the design. Nice touch with the sinking ship.
drewschrauf··on Show HN: WordCount.is
Very clean design and targets the niche nicely. One of my pet peeves is broken wordcounts though. A single space registers on your site as 1 word. Can I suggest checking out my post about javascript wordcounts? http://drewschrauf.com/blog/2012/06/13/javascript-wordcount-...
drewschrauf··on Show HN: We made an awesome way to browse and search your Chrome bookmarks.
I'm on Windows and this fixed the same issue for me.
drewschrauf··on DocPad: static website generator in CoffeeScript and Node.js
I tried setting up ruby/octopress on my mac last night and it was a pain in the ass. Great to see a node.js alternative. With a plugin infrastructure it'll be a serious contender to Jekyll.
