    OP here. I've been a developer for 10 years and have used a standing desk for the last 2. When I started, I just used whatever materials I could to prop my computer up higher. Once…

    It actually works pretty well with Vagrant. In fact, I even have Vagrant in the sample config file to show how it's done. :) https://github.com/fitztrev/shuttle/blob/master/Shuttle…

    I used the built-in Quicktime Player to do a screen recording. Then I used an online mov-to-gif converter. I had a hard time getting it down to a decent size, though. Hope that hel…

    I was actually going to do this at first. Something as simple as openURL:"ssh://username@example.com", then let OS X handle opening the default terminal. But I wasn't able to easil…

    "Our idea was to build a bare minimum boilerplate Node.js server that scales; we did not want to bloat the application by introducing a framework. The first four node modules we ad…

    Issue aside, I'm curious about this site itself. The first thing I noticed is that they're running a pretty old version of WordPress. They're on 3.0.3 (December 2010) when the late…

    The name was the result of a 5 hour long brainstorm with a friend. It was difficult to come up with one that somewhat made sense and was available. I have about 3 pages of scribble…

    Thank you for the information. Because of this, and others', comments, I added an opt-out button. While the customer can still share, they have the clear option that they can downl…

    The template is the Bootstrap template from Twitter. I mentioned in another comment that I would not have even started this project if it weren't for that. It made development so m…

    For those of you interested, here are all of the tools and resources I used to produce the demo video. Various stock illustrations, Keynote, GarageBand with a blanket over my head …

    I'm looking forward to running lots of different A/B tests. I can change the "Download for Free" button, change the copy on the Share popup, and change how people interact with the…
