Cloud9/Ace/SkyWriter/Whatever-it's-called-today seems like a much better implementation of this.

Just an update: GitMac is now out of beta and called Sprout on the Mac App Store http://gitmacapp.com/sprout

Saw Avdi do this talk at Magic Ruby. It was really nice, and in depth, and answered quite a few questions. I bet the book is well worth the money.

Same here. var _this = this; //vanilla var $this = $(this); //jQuery Though, I have encountered people who are really against the $var for stylistic reasons - so ymmv.

Agreed! (IMO the ML backlash is more of a XML backlash that carried over to other MLs). Regardless - A designer that can design for any* framework with standard CSS/HTML is more fl…

Agreed about SASS (prefer LESS, but still applies), and somewhat with CoffeeScript (I'm in the "make-it-optional-not-default-but-i-heart-CS" camp)...but 100% about HAML. It just al…

Agreed. The "Minefield" (besides being a terrible alpha/pre-release codename) icon left a lot to be desired.

Ah, that makes sense! Sorry.

So it's still easier for people to find and buy your app than it was before the App Store - and you still have to do the same marketing that you would have without the App Store. W…

Take this advice ! The people that are actually suffering from the problems your business solves are (usually) not managers, CEO, or anyone at the top. It is the people in the midd…

Agreed. Build for the problems you face now - not the problems you may theoretically have in the future. If a business grows that rapidly - it is most likely that the original syst…

I don't care as much as other people that Facebook === blue. But, IMO it needs a bit more polish. To a designer's eye, this immediately screams "programmer-designed". You may want …

We shared this with HN when we were first starting out[1] (in pre-beta stage) and we just wanted to share the progress we have made and say "thanks" - as our awesome beta tester us…

You probably aren't our target market (people new to Git) - but we are working on Git UI for OSX aimed at making the most common commands easy to perform. http://gitmacapp.com/down…

Firebug. The Webkit inspector is catching up nicely, but for now Firebug is Firefox's 'killer feature' (at least for web devs).

This is a straw man argument. The question isn't whether Git could be more intuitive/user-friendly (Hint: It should be, in fact I bet my company on it [see my profile]), or whether…

Either it's: intentional, or they just don't give a damn. Considering the sources of most of their revenues, I'd say #2 is most likely. Companies that have been in Enterprise that …

A major selling point of Git is the distributed part. You are allowed (even encouraged) to have more than one "source of truth". For ~7$/mo (including admin. and cheaper than Linod…

Nice! Thanks for the info.

...it's not just the experience it's everything: the hardware, software, UI, materials, industrial design, aesthetics... This. Try and think of one other computer company that has/…

They should really integrate (or at least link to) their GitHub wiki on their official website. Every time we look into using Cappuccino for a project, the lack of (new or updated)…

This is excellent. Last time I looked at libgit2 was in May and it was seriously lacking. They must have put in a ton of work this summer! Good job Vincent, and props to Github for…

GitMac is in Private Beta right now. http://gitmacapp.com We focused more on making Git easy to use, so it's more of a Versions/Cornerstone type workflow.
