Sidenote: I love Japandroids! Saw them in vancouver!

Didn't weigh in on safety critical applications, so I think the numbers would we be way different if they included them. I have worked at various big name startups and code reviews and unit-testing are such a critical part of our workflow.

Steve Wozniak is whom I strive to be as a Computer Engineer. He is so thoughtful, creative, passionate and genuine. He has inspired me like no one else.

Or you could be writing smaller checks trying to colonize Mars ;) Just teasing, cooperation would be necessary from humanity as a whole.

Nice! Under "Make it Lively" there is a typo, should be "Loading" not "Loadig"

"JSX is also the reason when you have to keep splitting your 15-lines-of-html-code component to 3 components, 5-lines-of-code-in-each." this stuck with me the most

I love C and macros in general. This hack is interesting..

Already did :) Thanks for the speedy reply!

A really good resource is Launchaco (http://launchaco.com/) [shameless plug]. It helps you choose a name, check social presence of name and then helps you make a unique, responsive and elegant landing page instantly!

Best tip is to find a problem you want to solve, and use programming as the solution! Pick a language you're interested in and just go at it! Best advice I have.

I started off writing an instagram bot https://github.com/marclave/InstaBot

Recently I interned at tesla writing firmware for the Model S

Doesnt matter how you start, its just that you start :)

Headline should be more clear, great re-phrasing.

Although it's great hearing about start-up ideas, I think for me what keeps me most excited and efficient is the passion for the problem I am solving. I think it's critical for startup founders to be passionate about the problem they're solving, and if someone told me about a problem it would take longer for me to get onboard cause I don't know the problem at hand.

What are your thoughts?

So interesting, 2 nights ago when we launched our product. I was developing almost exclusively locally, and when we deployed all of the cached deprecated packages we were using hit us when we deployed, we still hit our deployment but it was not fun.

Also were you the only person working on this?

Interesting read, may I ask why you chose flask?

I think there is a balance, for example:

We just released a product and there was a huge bug in Safari we somehow managed to miss on a last minute deployment. I found a quick fix and pushed it, allowing people to used the application as expected. Then after I pushed the momentary fix, i went back and ensured it was robust.

Again, if I were writing firmware for a car lets say, the mentality of "quick fix" doesn't really exist. Should be tested heavily.

Really interesting, the replacement is a vanilla js implementation called rails-ujs and was made by someone who went through Google Summer Of Code!

"The new rails-ujs was developed by @liudangyi as part of Google Summer of Code, all credits for this goes to him and to his mentor @pixeltrix " - https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/27113

Great question, I guess the community feels stronger about this product than the name page. I read your post on "Ask HN: What are some successful products that had a disappointing Show HN?", loved the dropbox comment!

Refresh your page! Just released a fix for safari :D

Apologies, deploying fix asap!

thank you!

Fun fact: Every device is in pure css, this means adding your own app images is dead simple.

We hate having to sign up for things ,we firmly believe you should only ever be on boarded after you get to try out the product and love it :)!

Apologies, copy isn't clear there - will deploy a change. The website you download is licensed under cc0, however if there's interest we wouldn't mind open sourcing our builder. It's written in Elm, & go.

We've talked about it in the past, we very well might implement something like this in the future. This is something we are exploring as a future release :) Thanks for that input, the GA plugin would be awesome!

The first time I used react was for the beta of my project http://launchaco.com/

One of the coolest things from this release IMO is the simulation of clicking working now! Simulate.click()

Fav board game?

What area do you live in? I live in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and riding motorcycles on the coast is, from what i hear, awesome!

Similar to domainr, but more accurate and faster!
