    Nice work putting together this tool. Have you seen either Spark OCR[1] from John Snow Labs or the Adobe PDF Extract API[2]? They both do a pretty good job a data extraction from t…

    Looks really cool, nice work! Any thoughts on import from Apiary/Blueprint?

    I can't view your legal terms without agreeing to your legal terms.

    This seems like a great idea. A few questions. How well does this play with dynamic content? Can you define specific content types (eg. Article) and capture events specific to that…

    At the bottom of the list is CodeHS[1]. I've not had much experience with many of the others but speaking from experience my son who is 8 has enjoyed the courses on there. [1] http…

    A handful of suggestions - consider putting initial focus on the item description field and possibly using a textarea over input - in alternating rows with white background it's di…

    Once you have 3 different workarounds for what's basically the most fundamental framework feature I wouldn't call ngCloak[1] a work around, it's part of the framework and specifica…

    A little confused here. So you have components server side that need to be in your application. Are they a functional part of the Angular app or just "static" markup that is compli…

    Nice writeup, here is my input on the points OP makes. The flickering UI A quick fix would be to extract the problematic markup, place in a separate template file and leverage ngIn…

    It's really unfortunate to see all the haterade being spilled over the comments. The efforts to take Bootstrap to version 3 were pretty significant, at the minimum they deserve a p…

    Realize that whatever path you take, if you are looking for a future/career and web development you need to be actively developing. Use your free time to build a bullet proof portf…

    I keep seeing "boilerplate" being tossed around in these comments, I'm not sure that really serves to identify what Yeoman is. Yeoman is tooling and workflow concepts, take what yo…

    I think there may be some confusion by some as to just what Yeoman is and it's usefulness. My opinion is that Yeoman strives to improve your workflow and tooling in front end devel…

    I disagree. The initial release of Yeoman with it's "opinionated workflow" (as they had coined it) cornered you into some dead ends, Yeoman 1.0 does not and is highly extensible. Y…

    By leveraging LESS or SASS you can create mixins which handle the vendor prefixing for you. For those new to LESS or SASS, the addition will require you to update your workflow a b…

    You may be right, it may be exactly what he wanted to happen. The trouble I have thus far is the information is insufficient to make a fair determination of who is right and who is…

    I was a small fish as well for many years, 5 as a freelancer and 5 as a small business owner. We all have to take those risks initially when getting started, "I can build you a sit…

    This is an unfortunate side effect of what this developer has set in motion. I don't know enough about either side to make a determination of who is right or wrong, but neither do …

    My point is such that a "time bomb" of sorts would not be necessitated if the developer makes sufficient efforts to protect him/herself with good business practices. That same clie…
