This could be a game changer policy. May opportunities opened up for startups.

Looks like a nice alternative for slack for sure. Task and crossing company space are very interesting features. I used to use confluence + jira to manage a project with a lot of external members. The permission management is terrible. Rock probably would have made my life easier.

Looks pretty nice. Congratulations! But why this is better than other chat apps for WWDC?

Salsa is unique to other work related anonymous app in several ways.

Salsa is an open community -- any user can post messages about any company, not limited to their own employers. Messages can be anything -- thoughts, public news, rumor, or insider gossips. The intention here is to encourage sharing while protecting privacy.

Another interesting feature of Salsa is "Spice Up", which is an enhanced version of "vote up" with geographical information. Now the original poster can see where people in the world cheered for her, and how far the message spread to the world.

Salsa also provides a tool for anonymous salary survey. Besides providing a reference to anybody who are curious about how much her skill set values, I also hope this can capture the huge pay gaps between genders and different geographic areas.

Salsa is still in its early stage. After all, it's my side project from last two months and I'm the only developer/designer. I am really looking forward where the community takes Salsa to.

The main difference is, we try to build an active community where people can openly discuss any career related topics; while Glassdoor is mostly a company review / salary posting site, with no interactions between users. We also try to be more emotional and personal, and capture the small things in your daily life. Which does not exist in Glassdoor.

Salsa is an anonymous community where you can share anything about your job or company. Form big corporations to small startups, it's the perfect place for career related vent, gossip, Q&A or even confess.

Salsa also provides anonymous salary surveys where you can check salaries from similar companies or titles.

If you want to buy an iPhone 6/6+ from an Apple Store but could never find one, you may want to try this. Simply add phones to the wish list by model, carrier, color and storage size. Once they are in stock in nearby Apple Stores, realtime notifications and email updates will be sent automatically.

With the help of the app, I was able to grab one iPhone 6 at San Francisco Bay Area, and one iPhone 6 plus in Las Vegas while I was on a road trip! :-)

I disagree 2048 sucks. It's a totally different game from Threes. But I do think a little design will make 2048 better -- that's why I created "Edge Up 3072". Try it out: http://3072.clingmarks.com/

Some of my references: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi#Polygon_approximation_era, http://ceemrr.com/Geometry2/InscribedPolygons/InscribedPolyg...

Two weeks ago, when I was playing 2048 (I am a big fan for both 2048 and Threes!), I suddenly came up this idea -- instead of merging numbers, merging polygons; and then use the polygon with most edges on the board to calculate the approximate value of Pi, just like what ancient mathematicians did. I thought it would be a cool idea to explore.

I quickly finished the programming of the algorithm and basic game play. Since each tile is a polygon, the numbers start from 3 (triangle) and 6 (Hexagon). So the number series is more like Threes', but game play is more like 2048.

However, I had a hard time to convey the message of how the value of Pi was calculated, which I think really cool (check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi#Polygon_approximation_era). I tried different ways but they all look too cluttered on the small iPhone screen. Eventually I settled with the current solution: animate the polygon with most edges and value of Pi together to hint the connection between them, and show a tip of how Pi is calculated when the game is played the first time.

I am still not satisfied with this approach. If you have better idea, please let me know. I’ll try to make it better in following updates. But on the other hand, I found a few of my friends do like play this game a lot – they told me they like the sound effect (I made the sound effect a little musical – the higher score you have, the higher pitch it plays) and the subtle animation when two tiles merges. I would love to know what you think. Any feedback is welcome.

Use Facetime as an example. If it's also available to Android and Windows, I will be able to use that with more friends. I will be more satisfied as an existing customer (hence more loyal), and my friends on Android / Windows will be able to see the superb video quality and it may become a factor of conversion eventually.

Also, if Page and Keynote are available on Windows, since they are significantly cheaper and probably have all the functionality for majority of the users, it could take bite of the Office market share.

btw, if you are ordering from WASD and have a mac, you can also order a set of customized mac keycaps that match exactly the apple keyboard. Just download the keycap layout file from my blog, and order them from WASD:

That's what I meant. Great news! Tempted to try. Do you know how green switch feels? Never had them.

I had both as well. But after I tried the HHKB, I found I like the Topre keys much more. :)

wow, this one looks so cool! Do you know if they have a mac version?

I heard the "Code Keyboard" is pretty good. Anybody tried?

It doesn't have Mac mode, though.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, white labeling is another area I am constantly looking into. However, it seems hard to find the right contact to pitch. Any idea on that?

I think so too. If you look back a couple of years, this kind of things (even if not as severe) happened several times. I actually blogged about it (when their DNS was messed up):
