Recommend "Jurassic Punk" (2022) - the documentary about Steve ‘Spaz’ Williams who is featured in this interview. It covers T2 as well as Jurassic park and goes into the politics i…

Testament to it's appeal is when it's used by businesses to promote their ice creams/slushies.

Great use of typing in the editor, e.g., I like how it knows the references to template sprites so it can highlight the errors when calling functions with incorrect arguments.

Recently chrome started asking for permission to use MIDI, when before it did not. So lots of existing sites won't tell you that they will request MIDI, which is what most sites th…

Been using qimv instead of eog for a while now and love it, takes me back to the days of picasa which was the first time I ever had photos load _fast_.

Have an extension on the chrome store too and receive these emails regularly. Promising cash to turn your extension into malware. Mine is a small, specific project that took a week…

Photos would definitely be cool, make it seem a bit more fun - plus writing is a lot of effort. Would have to be careful about becoming the "Naked photo tweeter app" though.

I know what you mean. Biggest difficulty was trying and make it clear to the user how the app works. The more features you add, the harder that can get.

Yep it's cordova phone app that points at a meteor app. We used https://github.com/SpaceCapsule/Meteor-cordova-runtime to help stick them both together. Made it a lot lot lot lot e…

Ahh multiple locations. That is a good idea.

This is the way out at the moment. What we thought of doing was your submit someone you wouldn't want to tweet and then have an account (the punisher account) tweet them the messag…

Haha, we'll put a request to Google to create a new app category for it.

It requires location information, but I guess your device probably has that. It's a cordova application running a meteor app, so the .apk was generated from a config. We're pretty …
