    Love this! Are you exploring more variations in the avatar expressions or does keeping it more limited work better? Also, are there any unexpected positive or negative outcomes so …

    Fun! The basic feature feels like a cross-platform/device way of doing the iOS Messages drawing feature.

    Sorry to hear—my sister is in the same boat with alpha-gal from a lone star tick. It seems that very few people are aware of it.

    Thx! If I recall, I think the blockquotes were the trickiest one in writing this. I used the same repeated element trick and overflow hidden, but getting the line breaks in there w…

    Lol, loving all the comments asking what the usecase is or pointing out how it’s not functional. Here are some other things I’ve built in the past because the code and/or the idea …

    What does the IDE look like? Or do I have access to a terminal where I can use something like emacs or vim?

    Good stuff. That’s nice it outputs the commands. Have you considered adding a `[--dry-run|-n]` flag to see the command output in a safe way?

    Cool idea! I think I’d feel more comfortable using it with some clearer documentation on what exactly happens. The itertools pydocs are pretty relevant (even if their code snippets…

    Interesting, beacons are definitely becoming more and more present and QR codes never caught on outside factories.

    huzzah, the `activeTab` permission removes the request for all those gross permissions! Try it now, I release v0.0.12

    actually, I’ll try out the activeTab permission… hopefully that will work. It’s hard to find time to maintain a side-project :)

    Hi—I built that extension! Thank you for using it. You can view the source code here: https://github.com/mrcoles/full-page-screen-capture-chrome-e... It’s malware & spyware free. I…

    Each note is generated as a separate sound file when the piano first loads. They're all short wave files. So when you hit a bunch of notes at once, it's just playing several sound …

    That is awesome! Despite all the fun I had making this "html5 piano", for electronic pianos, you really can't beat having an actual midi device with weighted keys. I’m looking forw…

    That’s a fun idea. I directly used the existing keyboard mapping that garageband employs for keyboard to piano in their app, which tries its best to mimic a piano. There are lots o…

    Oh, nice to know and cool products! I wrote this web app in May 2012—I don’t think iOS was there yet? I’m open to a pull request though https://github.com/mrcoles/javascript-piano …

    try some of the other styles and volume responses by clicking on the square in the top right or hitting "?"—to be fair, everything sounds a lot more synth than real… but that wasn'…

    yeah, it can play more notes at once than an iphone screen could!

    hrm… maybe my wording wasn’t as clear as I had hoped. It generates the audio ahead of time (as base64 dataURI wave files)—the on-the-fly part is that it’s generated in JavaScript e…
