    Problem with them open sourcing their platform is that the platform base is used in enterprise and how the bulk of their revenue is made... Who wants to buy milk when the cow is be…

    Bower doesn't do anything npm doesn't already do, except horrible version management. bower install lodash => bower_components/lodash/dist/lodash.min.js npm install lodash => node_…

    To be completely honest with you, Heroku isn't your problem, yeah SSL is pretty high, but that's okay... The fonts is your killer.

    Nice write up, Justin! I was one of the first engineers at a competitor of TeeSpring's, and we tackled the same problems. We used Fabric.js in our second iteration (first was jQuer…

    I really dig the idea behind the site. I am not a UX developer, but I am improving and the service would be invaluable. What can we do to help get the iteration back in place? I as…

    Also skin it to look like an editor, and then have the user go full screen, because who codes in a browser window?

    Great response. Too many people criticize someone's work comparing it to similar stuff that's been around since just before the dinosaurs went extinct with responses like "what mak…

    So what you're saying is if I don't go to the doctor for 10 years, but pay $350/mo over the course of that 10 years for an insurance plan, the insurance company uses the money to f…

    Dokku is great if you want to host all apps on a single server. I had used it for a while. Switched to using github to push to, which fires off a build on a ci server, which fires …

    I'm 30 years old and haven't been to a doctor in about 10 years outside of simple things that I paid out of my own pocket. Nothing that a year of healthcare would cover, and consid…

    While I can understand the want for that, there's too much issues. The only reason npm does it this way is because the module that depends on B v1.3 and a module that depends on B …

    Koa is the successor of Express, written by Express creator, TJ. I like it because generator workflow makes writing apps better since we can yield promises. Code is much cleaner. a…
