    There are many one-to-many device models which can work. Shameless plug to what we're working on at onebillion: https://onebillion.org.uk/oneclass

    I dislike this. Where is the 'call for me to do something'? Why are there blurred people on an escalator(?). Don't make me pick between concise and reliable. I'm more than willing …

    Not to mention lack of alpha transparency.

    We're working on something similar for younger learners: https://onebillion.org.uk/malawi

    There is some truth in this, yet I'd describe myself as fortunate and passionate, not elite.

    It's pretty simple. Do what you love doing. If you don't, move on. I love what I do. It's not a about money. It's about doing good by doing what you love.

    This is a pointlessramble. The winner(s) produce 8-bit dithered PNGs.

    I'm wondering whether Apple will ever offer either: 1] a dedicated education app store, invisible to non-volume purchasers. 2] a mechanism for allowing volume purchases of in-app c…

    I'm not a fan. I just don't get why they adapted FF Meta. It's overly complex (the 'g' for example), and not a great display font. They should strive for simplicity, rather than in…

    Fuzziness is subjective. iOS uses a similar font rendering method to OS X, without subpixel rendering. See: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/04/24/a-closer-look-at-...

    I find this a doubled-edged sword. Monocultures are said to foster a culture of laziness, apathy. This hasn't been the case with WebKit. Don't get me wrong - competition is healthy…

    That seems to be what they do, in my experience.

    As has been mentioned, the main header is a typographic curiosity, not a bug. Good design is often controversial. Programmer mentally is at odds with this notion. I like what they'…

    Care to elaborate? I think it's a well-worked responsive design. The only annoyance is the navigation bar flitting up and down on scroll.

    I can see the benefit of having a single codebase, but how would this fare against the likes of Unity, where the optimal backend is used for each platform?

    Why? I doubt it's an order of magnitude out.

    That's not a very helpful comment, considering the context of this app.

    One of my main beefs with Bootstrap was that it felt cramped. The switch to 14px body text with 20px line height addresses that. Personally, I'd increase the default line height a …
