kqueue

Don't worry about your competitors. Focus on your product.

Big players move slowly. Most of the times it is easier, faster, and more profitable to buy the startup instead of building their own product to "compete".

E.g., Google could have built something similar to adMob, yet it decided to buy it.

1. It is better to post such an announcement on Monday. Weekends tend to be quite here.

2. I couldn't get what is meant by "slash in" and "slash out" when visiting the main page.

I've been very happy with highcharts http://highcharts.com

Yes, you can reach a queue via a web browser using the proper api access you provide.

If you have 100 users, each one waiting for a message in their queue, then you can "broadcast" a single message to all of the queues (or a group) with one command. All the users waiting for a message in their queue will get a copy.

Another approach which is hack-ish imo, is to use something like jabberd to broadcast messages.

have you considered using rabbitmq/0mq? It sounds like they are perfect candidates for what you are trying to achieve.

oops

Banana vs Oranges?

what's up? :P

webpy, mako templates, sqlalchemy, nginx

Asking people whether they'll use your product or not will not help because people don't know what they want.

Create your product and only then you'll know.

Shouldn't the mouse cursor be a pointer when the mouse is over the checkbox label?

Seriously, take a 2 weeks vacation. That's all.

1. people don't like iframes with scrollbars. 2. people don't customize.

You'll find tons of high quality mailing lists for whatever skill set you are looking for. Python, C etc... Read through the archive and find people that are active and provide solid answers. Get in touch with them and see how far you can go.

>So imagine: You want to stick to Python because it’s so fast to develop in but need the performance of C/C++. Let me introduce you to C extensions in Python.

Let me introduce you to Cython.

Let's make some money and support IE6!

I think finding a good designer willing to work on your project is the most difficult part of the whole project.

Focusing on what you do best (programming) and subcontracting what you do worst (design) leads to a great product imho. If you end up doing both, you'll eventually lose motivation because you'll never get satisfied with your own designs (you are not a designer after all). Not to mention that you'll be shifting focus back and forth between design/programming, and each one requires a different kind of focus and way of thinking. The end product if it sees the light? Mediocre at best.

ah, wasn't aware of that. Thanks!

It would be cool to integrate notifo with grawlnotify for mac users. This way we can see the notification directly on the screen and avoid polluting our inboxes.

Added the embed part. Thanks for your feedback! :)

fixed. thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks, exactly my thoughts.

It can be improved, here's my version from a c program but can be used in objc in the say way.

I think procrastination is not the problem. It is an effect rather than a cause. I procrastinate waiting until I feel I can focus on the problem. Removing distractions won't help much. When I feel I can focus, nothing can distract me.

Probably what should be tackled is how to maintain focus, and regain focus quickly.

self discipline and consistency.

I don't think the author knows much about html5 or the concept of canvas in general.

If he goes to http://www.chromeexperiments.com/, he'll realize that all this is doable.

"public album" might confuse users given that the title says "privately and in groups".

I bet you most of the users did not notice this difference. What they noticed probably is speed, and the fact that you can scroll and move around the map without clicking the side arrows (mapquest style).

You obviously don't know much about Python... and very little about programming.

Learn Python and you'll notice why perl doesn't make sense.
