Right now the layouting is pretty basic. So data will only fit within the width/height you 'draw' on the template. We are working on a dynamic layouting engine which will be able t…

Noted, thanks! Btw, you can also use the feedback widget within the editor to give quick feedback like this. Its on top right corner.

You are right that was a bit too far fetched, we'd see how to make it better. Thanks!

Hmm, thats a very interesting perspective. We would definitely give it thought. Much appreciated!

Thanks for your feedback! Which products do you have in mind which do the design part? Particularly those that work in a browser. Essentially we are something like Crystal Reports …

PDF generation time depends on the length of the document but ideally it should be pretty quick. No you cannot manipulate existing PDF but only generate new ones. Thanks!

Thanks! As of now this support is not available but we would definitely look into it. For now only our 'native' charts are available which can be populated with data as well (inclu…

We just launched our alpha (and are sending out invites to people who sign up). We want to validate our value proposition so any feedback/suggestion is very much appreciated!

True, but making a NY Times-like website for tech news wouldn't work either. HN works for techies because its clean and simple, and the karma/upvote mechanism keep the content rele…

I never said it claims to be better and it isn't. Let me rephrase the question: why would anyone want to be on echojs instead of HN, given that it's essentially an HN clone for JS …

Apart from the fact that its JS only, how is it better than HN? Why not just use HN to follow topics you like (JS in this case)?

I don't have any counter-evidence to show if the incubator trend is a bubble or not so I am not going to argue along those lines. I have a very different perspective to offer. I li…

Connecting with other geeks/hackers?

How about connecting with other geeks out there? Is that possibility not useful enough?

True, but then its the geeks who make the likes of Facebook, Twitter and then not use it themselves :)

I have been trying to use Geeklist for a while. It's a great tool for geeks to connect and share stuff with each other but the only problem is there are no real geeks using it. Or …

Not implying that one language is better than the other, but how does Lua help solve problems that web developers face? I say this because I have been working on a "killer" web app…

We, as entrepreneurs, are so obsessed with creating the next "photo sharing app" when there are some real, hard problems to be solved. Maybe its the daily dose of blogs incessantly…

If that was the measure, maybe we could use a language nobody knows because it will pass this test with flying colors :)

I guess if we could replace it with Lua we would still be sad. How do you think Lua makes for a better language for web?

Yes and this transparency gives you a new perspective on the underlying "pattern" between concepts, which is very powerful.

Orthogonal in the sense that the same concept is used if you need maps/arrays or for namespacing functions or metatables(for metaprogramming). Its like a "core" concept that binds …

Haven't used Lua much but the concept of tables is really neat. Its simple, orthogonal and the fact it lies at the core of many features in Lua (composite data types, metaprogrammi…

Yup. People have talked about the issues in C for years but few talk about "modern" languages. Ruby anyone?
