This is wonderful. Can't wait to get home and try playing along. Top work!

Hi Patrick. Great stuff! We're currently implementing invoice payments with the new Stripe button over at Paydirt ( https://paydirtapp.com ). One little issue: in Chromium 20.0.113…

The magnifier was built for us by the super talented @taybenlor. You should tweet him to tell him you like it :) That SO post is pretty thorough! Yep, it's a canvas element with ro…

Good feedback. Thanks bdunn.

Exactly. There are many ways to alienate potential users (missing languages, missing features, etc). In the early stages we've learned the importance of focussing on the biggest bo…

That's good point. Taken on board, and we'll improve the page to encourage IE users to let us know. It's very true that things might change which would require us to change our tac…

Absolutely. We do dev work on the side, and in those cases take our orders on browser support.

Thanks for such a candid telling of the Adioso story. Certain parts ring so familiar it's uncanny. Just as you got a boost from hearing that Airbnb had some tough times before the …

It's a good thought, and an area that's ripe for all sorts of standardisation. My passwords follow a system which is secure, but doesn't conform to all the password requirements of…

I guess that's another benefit: you can more readily take on larger jobs, and that broadens your potential client base.

Hm, maybe it's the border-image. For me, specifying `background-color: transparent;` to `#home article` fixes things right up, at least in firebug.

Hey cool! We're a team of two so I'll be trying this out for sure. Your landing page lured me in perfectly. By the way, your tags are rendering with a white background-color, but I…
