Is it me or is this a pointless app? Seems like they are just wasting development time :)

This.

This is a really nice little app. I mean I have only used ebay only a couple of times but this is really nice, and its something I kinda wish I had at the back of my mind when using ebay.

Can you give a little details on how it works? Is it scraped data? etc.

I know this is targeted at a person who wants to sell items on ebay, but I am a buyer and I find this still quite useful. Not sure how up to date the data is but the graphs are an amazing feature! Makes so much sense.

Really great video. He goes things quite fast but he does nearly every explanation with a demo! I can't think of many of my uni lectures in this topic like that. I hope they release more. Is there any planned?

Can you please add these to the popular feeds on the Web App?

aha! so this is why spotify is not allowed at my work place.

How is this different to pinboard? except for the embedded multimedia. For me pinboard has the whole package in terms of features. Especially being able to search a tag and see other people's bookmarks. Not sure why I would switch to this though.

Other than that I think its a nice project.

The main angularJS site has a good tutorial to get you started. This blog i found helpful when getting started, specially the integration with yeoman: http://briantford.com/blog/angular-yeoman.html. These are video tutorials about angular.js: http://egghead.io/. The rest is up to you.

Supports UK?

nice app. just quickly wanted to report a bug: on smaller resolution the sidebar cannot be scrolled down.

great find! Wish they would go in more detail or contained a bit of source. However, I can understand why they would not open source etc to prevent plagiarism, bit of a shame though.

I like the idea! Sounds like there is an opportunity for a nice community. Are you looking for extra developers to help out with your project? Sounds like an interesting project to work on.

That guy is my web dev hero.

nvm works perfectly on my vps. I guess my local machine is just a bit messed up. Dam MAMP.

So i have been trying to get the sphinx search working on OSX today - I have indexed the search. I can search stuff in the mysql port using SQL queries but when I search using the test api scripts in php or python or the search command line tool - it always returns empty results. Not sure what is going on.

Great I think you have me sold :) I want to give this a try since a standard db is what I would normally use to keep the data. This would be an interesting experience. I will be reading up on sphinx and mysql etc, and do any future data scraping straight to sphinx through xmlpipe. Last question :) - Do you have any useful links you can provide on the matter of sphinx etc? Thanks.

I was quite surprised at how fast it was on the searches. It sounds really great and im sure I can put up with xml, I just dont like having to return HTML - but is that you preference and the way you have done it? It looks like its just return dict of results, so no reason why I cant form a json response I guess. How does a typical query look like? and how are you using the sentence boundaries (tbh im sure sure what it even is). I guess for fast text search this is perfect but im guessing any computation it cant do?

Oh i actually make scrapy do that to. Do you use the scrapy crawl with -o and -t json options? I did not know spinx can index json files etc. Any reason why sphinx was chosen rather than an alternative? Thanks for the info.

how does the alias work? Are you routing the data from the shell to a certain api end point?

Very nice. I particularly like the crawler implementations. I have used scrapy before in a project. I could not guess from the code, but is the all the data going into the database? Could you give some overview details about how things in the backend work. Thanks

I need pycharm student licence! is that included?

what is DC++ ?

God i love the phpStorm IDE so much, I was a user of the text editors for a while. But the debugging support in this ide for PHP is just amazing. It integrates with mercurial nicely too. The recent black color scheme is just a nice surprise. Well worth the price.

Could you let us in on how to go about implementing such an interface? You don't have to go into specifics but if you used any tools or frameworks that you found invaluable etc, it would be nice to know.
