Looks great, is there a hosted link somewhere for people to play with without having to download?

Yep, just the main national tracking polls. We email every one out so at the state level it might get overwhelming. And we can't really put too much into a filtering setup since it…

Oh, come on. It's only 2 more weeks. Just think of it like a really big sporting event, except way less impactful ;)

We'll also be tweeting out poll results from http://twitter.com/pingpoll

Developer here. I helped build this site after noticing I was checking presidential polls like 12 times a day and really wanted a quick disposable tool for the next 2 weeks to get …

Definitely. I bet there's a lot of companies / startups who need something quick and simple though. So lots of room for both solutions.

CreateJS is awesome. This service seems to be more about content hosting though. So still useful to some people I think.

Awesome, thanks a ton! Fixing up deploybutton now, hope to have some of the bugs worked out soon.

Luckily great tools have been built for this. We use Opscode Chef and it's life changing. After an admittedly painful learning hump, we're able to completely power our sysadmin via…

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. As you may already know, this was built for the 48hour Rails Rumble hackathon. So it will definitely have quirks and there's a ton of stuff we ha…

Awesome writeup! Rails asset management can get pretty complex for newbies, but with a few good strategies like described in the article, it can be tamed and managed without too mu…

Completely agree, it should be emphasized that nReduce isn't trying to compete with existing accelerators. I think it's actually a great first step for companies to get to the poin…

Actually, App.net is quite useful already with it's 17k users (as was twitter when it had that many people). It doesn't have to compete with Twitter, just provide a growing self su…

I would pay (prepay) for this. OmniGraffle has been painfully slow to improve, and just doesn't seem to cater to web or app ui design. Unfortunately it's the best thing out there s…

Sorry, I just meant compared to Rails in terms of impact. Ember is nothing like Rails architecturally. There's a good comparison here: http://emberjs.com/guides/ember_mvc/ So yeah.…

pangratz has created an awesome example dashboard app (along with source) http://code418.com/ember.js-dashboard/ . He also wrote up a dev blog series on it: http://code418.com/

Perfect article and explanation. After having bought into Ember a couple months ago and using it heavily, it's been really hard to express to others why it feels so revolutionary. …

Another simple idea (that you've no doubt thought of): using Twitter (or App.net) authentication. That way people are a bit less anonymous and more accountable. I can imagine peopl…
