Keynote for the static ones, After Effects for the gifs
maxjaderberg··on FbStart – A new program designed to help early stage mobile startups
I got the same impression, especially the "Powered by WordPress.com VIP" at the bottom
maxjaderberg··on Hello Facebook Crawler
By looking at the headers you now have a great way of writing some analytics tools to see how much your website is shared on Facebook...
maxjaderberg··on How To Package Your Python Code
ive been writing python for ages but never found a simple introduction to how to package modules - always thought it was voodoo, so thanks a lot! so simple...
maxjaderberg··on Ask HN: who started something in 2012 which is already profitable?
yeah no problem - shoot me an email if you want. we took a lot of feedback on board from that HN post and really changed the layout since the initial launch. Most of our traffic comes from blogs and StumbleUpon! We are also now on the first page of Google for some relevant search terms
maxjaderberg··on Ask HN: who started something in 2012 which is already profitable?
Launched http://www.TrickedOutTimeline.com on HN in february (see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3522255) and have made ~$2500 on around $100 costs from advertising and hosting on google app engine. Nothing huge, but good for a weekends work with a friend!
maxjaderberg··on Online algorithmic event detection from realtime mobile photos
Looking forward to it! Not sure for your subject, as I am computer vision guy. In fact, I work on large scale image recognition and there is something about this which I love...there's a lot of potential for image analysis here.
maxjaderberg··on Online algorithmic event detection from realtime mobile photos
really cool tech here! have you guys published any papers on this?
maxjaderberg··on Show HN: Find days out near you in the UK
just a design point - i find the black on dark green background quite uncomfortably hard to read on my screen!
maxjaderberg··on Show HN: JavaScript Instagram-like Filters
this is very good! is it possible to save the filtered images locally?
maxjaderberg··on Show HN: My weekend project, TrickedOutTimeline
hah yes you are right, thank you
maxjaderberg··on Show HN: My weekend project, TrickedOutTimeline
i do agree, but also eager to get the likes in. may a/b test like to download/suggeting a like after download.
maxjaderberg··on Show HN: My weekend project, TrickedOutTimeline
thats why i love the feedback from here - its top quality ;)
maxjaderberg··on Show HN: My weekend project, TrickedOutTimeline
thanks for your thoughts - will definitely implement some changes. doing the "like to download" as an experiment, may well take it off
maxjaderberg··on Show HN: My weekend project, TrickedOutTimeline
yes may rename this to "torn edge"
maxjaderberg··on Show HN: My weekend project, TrickedOutTimeline
thanks for the feedback, i suspected that could be the case
maxjaderberg··on Show HN: My weekend project, TrickedOutTimeline
Yes the images get dumped after 30mins - shall add that to the TOS
maxjaderberg··on Show HN: My weekend project, TrickedOutTimeline
thanks! there are so many crap fb tools out there we need something simple. need ideas for more effects to add though!
maxjaderberg··on Show HN: My weekend project, TrickedOutTimeline
and i hope a blog post coming soon on the awesomeness of google apps' image api!
maxjaderberg··on A better search for visually similar images
Very nice paper. I am actually working on a project in a similar space using very similar techniques, though emphasis is on speed of matching and retrieval as well as matching the objects in the image rather than the image as a whole. Little early demo here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3YldXhG3Qc&feature=chann...

Anyway, great work! The paper was a good read.

maxjaderberg··on The Young and the Lazy
I'm on the same page as you. I agree in general with his points but point 4 is off the mark, as you can't predict someone else's cash flow needs. If they are on a salary then you better pay them on time!
maxjaderberg··on The Young and the Lazy
The author is a very outspoken guy, perhaps just for the sake of it. He's the founder of Vice magazine and is known for his unpolitical correctness.

I still think he has a good point (speaking as a Generation Why youth)

maxjaderberg··on 200+ Labels Withdraw Their Music From Spotify: Are Its Fortunes Unravelling?
This is a good infographic on that http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2010/how-much-do-music...
maxjaderberg··on Did Y Combinator send out the acceptance/ rejection emails yet?
Rejected here as well with http://www.publsh.me At least I don't have to by a ticket to the US now hah. Have gained around a 1000 members though since applying so can't really get too hung up.
maxjaderberg··on We open-sourced 90 node.js modules at Browserling
I agree. It's a shame to have such a forward looking product be encased in such dated design
maxjaderberg··on Observer (Node.js KO 2011) - Observe and learn from your visitors in real time
Looks nice. You need to clean up the homepage blurb though and there are just a few spelling errors (changed sections are in italics):

Observer allows you to follow and observe your website visitors in real time. Ever wondered what they were clicking on or how they are navigating on your website? Then Observer is ideal for you, it's a 1 script installation and you are done.

maxjaderberg··on Khan Academy Competitor? Alison.com founder on the future of Online Ed
I agree the comparison is unjustified. What makes Khan Academy so good is the quality of Khan's explanations and teaching on the videos.
maxjaderberg··on Duuble: microblogging diary
I think a demo is definitely needed on the homepage to convert signups.

Design wise, just be careful with using such light grey text on white background, as you can barely read some things. For example, the "bars" layout is unreadable on my screen unless you hover over a post.

my favourite is all 32 euro zone banks combined...
