Bigger than both of those groups are the people who don't realize they use RSS but listen to podcasts.

Better yet, I'll only read people who take the opposite approach.

Or that native apps are better. Their problems with javascript aren't the technologies, its the ways they're abused. That's not a web problem or a javascript problem. I just kicked…

Mozilla Persona tried this. It was a good user experience, but it never gained enough traction and eventually they shut it down.

The weird part about this article/thread is that the product didn't suck. It did a thing, and it was as good as the groups in your area.

I was about to buy Jack White tickets today and... I think I'll pass. Don't get me wrong. I've seen several shows, including Jack White, that politely ask the audience to keep thei…

Be careful. A little backlash has been brewing all over the place. Some of it's about privacy. Some of it's about power and influence. Some is about addictiveness. It's not much to…

Well, that explains the battery life tanking.

Yes (crazy CPU/memory/battery usage). I switched to using it in a browser tab and it's been much better.

I went back and timed it. The overhead is at _most_ 100ms in my use case (there's some ambiguity because of other problems with the async implementation, I suspect it's actually lo…
