laxk··on Show HN: Tilepad for Twitter – Twitter in Pinterest Layout
It is a really interesting topic to discuss. It seems like we need to have a tool/framework on the browser side which allows advanced users to redesign the layout of a web-site. It is pretty clear right now that Twitter has different groups of users and it is clear to me that Twitter should have different designs for them. Even in that post we could see people who "consume" timeline in a different way :)

IMHO Twitter/Facebook/Google+ should have Rich API and a default client but the user should be able to select implementation from different companies. (Similar to a search engine in the browser)

Thanks, I’ll fix those.

There are a few options how I can handle it.

* Chrome web store support page. It is a default option. The user can complain there if something doesn't work.

* Implement a complain button in the extension and if something broke and X users clicked the button, I will take action. IMHO It would be nice to have a central maintenance point which the extension will check and in case If you turned on 'maintenance mode' then just show a dialog to users like: The extension isn’t working properly right now. It will automatically be disabled. What to do? [Disable], [Keep it running]

* automatic way: try to build a heuristic system which will monitor changes in the layout and notify to the developer of any issues.

In any case, there will always be a time when the extension would not work if Twitter changes something globally.

I'll be very happy if this functionality will be implemented on the Twitter side.

Pepyaka is a meme from the Russian Internet, meaning "a thing." I've made a similar Chrome extension for a private Russian web community and the description partially migrated here. I’ll fix it.

I hear your point, though I believe it's the matter of individual reading patterns. I don't miss important tweets, just the opposite, I find them quicker.

This is my early alpha version of the Chrome Extension - Tilepad for Twitter.

What will be done more / What I'm working now:

* automatically change the number of columns depending on the width of the window * buggy markup tweets (sometimes) * settings: don't show promoted tweets, show images instead of links, block certain tweets in #discovery mode(no duplicates) * bugs!

I will be glad to hear any comments, suggestions, bugs, questions and so on.

Thanks.

I will have a slightly different payment model. It will be refillable wallet that will cover the cost of your usage. ie: you put 10 dollars to you wallet and you will be able to buy: phone [international] number(s), make calls and send texts.

This option will be available in the pro version as well as buying international phone numbers.

Yes, I had that in mind. The phone poll will be changed regularly as a protective measure. I have PITA when I'm dealing with craiglist, it works for me right now but I want to share that service(pro version) with other people.

laxk··on Introducing Socket.io 1.0
As I understand if I want to use socket.io client API I have to run node.js as a container for socket.io server side code and then I can create a new emmiter for my server language (similar to PHP example in the article) Is it correct?

Is it possible to create own implementation of socket.io server side code?
