joshcrowder··on It’s time to say goodbye
Very true, I received the email twice, insult to injury.

"We are working on a way to export your data, So long suckerss!!!"

joshcrowder··on Apps, made better by everyone
This was my take away as well
joshcrowder··on Apps, made better by everyone
Its a great idea - but the terms are horrible. From my understanding Assembly made own the rights to the software and a pretty big stake in application.

The article talks about forking code, contributing to open source but goes directly against it.

joshcrowder··on Semantic UI – A language for sharing UI
This is a great idea, however the website needs some work I keep getting struck scrolling because the code boxes have overflow scroll on them. Also the navigation arrows at the top don't work :/
joshcrowder··on Show HN: Skillswap, a tiny site to help people help each other
Great idea! I'm going to sign up
joshcrowder··on Show HN: Xpressive - CSS3 Live Design Tool for Mac OSX
This looks really interesting. Going to give it a play today. I'm interested in how you handle keyframe animations

EDIT I had a quick look through your CSS (which I think is built using Xpressive) overall I think it looks pretty good. Although you could definitely shave of 30% off by inlining some of the rules. For instance for margin:0 auto; you call margin-left:auto, margin-right:auto. The same applies for background, using the shorter version cuts files sizes dramatically

joshcrowder··on Plivo Targets Big Enterprises With 'Bring Your Own Carrier' Cloud Telephony
Great news - Plivo is awesome my company is currently working on a VOIP system these guys are powering us. The call quality is fantastic compared to Twilo
joshcrowder··on UX is not UI
Great Article. UX is the new buzzword in pretty much every sector at the moment, especially financial, my last contract was "UX Developer" I'm not even sure what it means, but from my day to day, I wrote javascript HA!

Regardless if they have raised before or after.

Human observation. How many open source applications do you use that you have paid for?
joshcrowder··on Ask HN: Multiple client bug tracker/agile board for consultants?
This is EXACTLY the same problem I have run into, so much so that we are working on an agile board to solve it. www.matterhorn.io

Its coming along nicely, I'd love to talk to you more about the problems you are having, if you are free my email is josh@seriousfox.co.uk

joshcrowder··on Ask HN: What exception tracking service do you use?
Errbit

You guys need to slow your carousel down!! I thought it was a spoof of http://shouldiuseacarousel.com/ at first.
joshcrowder··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2013)
CONTRACT - Banking Sector - London

I am looking for a Javascript Developer to join a small team of 4 in the banking industry. The framework of choice is Backbone.js although it is not a required skill if you are a strong Javascript candidate you'll pick it up quickly!

I am leaving the team to work on my own startup which I am gutted about as the team is brilliant.

The day rate is very competitive, email me directly and I can tell you more about it! josh@seriousfox.co.uk

joshcrowder··on Your iPhone and iPad Are Limited. T-Mobile is the Exception
Looks like the site is down?
joshcrowder··on Ask HN: what projects are you working on?
Nice idea for a thread!

I'm working on a new project management tool called Matterhorn.io its for companies who are design led and follow agile for development.

There are a million and one project management apps but none of them are a fit for us, we like basecamp but need a scrumboard, we like jira but find its too complicated. We are building a happy medium

joshcrowder··on Parse explains their Cloudstack
Couldn't agree more. I dont see the use of leanstack.io its very misleading this isn't about companies stacks at all its about software they use. The majority of SaaS's are using AWS is it really worth mentioning? I'd like to know HOW they use AWS instead of 'yeah we use AWS, computers, desks and chairs'
joshcrowder··on Topcoat – CSS for clean and fast web apps
I like the idea of this project we do need more variety rather than bootstrap bootstrap bootstrap. However why is the font size so small its horrendously difficult to read.
joshcrowder··on Ask HN: Thinking of mentoring? looking for a mentor?
Hi,

An apprenticeship would be great for you. My company offers them we haven't done remote before but I'm willing to give it a go. Drop me an email josh@seriousfox.co.uk

joshcrowder··on Show HN: Sync – Realtime partials with Rails

Is this in use anywhere?

joshcrowder··on Show HN: I made a site that calculates the market price of items on ebay
This is great, very impressive. When searching for an item in the UK the price still shows in dollars.
joshcrowder··on Show HN: urlbox.io - Add beautiful website screenshots to your site
This is a good idea, I actaully created something similar using PhantomJS the issue is web fonts there isn't a solution to rendering typekit webfonts using a headless webkit implementation see http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/issues/detail?id=247 for more details.

As soon as webkit is updated to have better support for OTF fonts urlbox will become so much better
