React Native is excellent for web teams that are creating a new mobile app. If your team has more experience with React than native iOS/Android, then it's a no-brainer. However, in…

If that chat has already been created, then going to gitter.im/[org]/[repo] should be enough.

So something a little more formal than chat?

Yeah, we're currently building an irc bridge so that you can use it with your irc client of choice.

Yeah, github enterprise definitely makes sense, and it is something that we will look into. Chrome's notifications since v28 kinda suck. Browser notifications have always been diff…

Good point. The problem with a tier limited by the number of people is that you take away one of the best parts of a free chat service. Being able to freely invite _anyone_ into a …

true, but it would be fantastic to merge those two cultures together. Having non technical people involved in open source projects is a good thing, and it is something that we are …

At the moment we have node + express + faye for rest api/streaming. The web front end is currently built with backbone, less and a sprinkling of bootstrap.

@gitchat on twitter for now.

Yeah, that barrier is a tough one to overcome. We've found that having an easy entry point (nothing to install, one click signup etc.) lowers the barrier a bit. Also having some ki…

There's always the webapp :)

Dev here! Yeah, we've been making www.trou.pe for while and have just added some github hooks after some user requests. We are just curious to see how far people want github integr…

I build web trading apps for banks. Big, big javascript apps that stream prices and handle trades. Not the kind of apps that require shakespearean spam though...

It's meant to interfere with your writing, like a backseat driver interferes with your driving. Your idea of separation is interesting, do you see it as a kind of translator?

Gibberish I guess. Doing a lookahead for letters was how I started, and its kinda interesting to see how it turned out as a quick project. Storing the probabilities for each letter…

Very true. I've just updated it now to handle misses. Its a bit of a ugly hack, but it stops the errors for now. You can check it out here - https://github.com/trevorah/backseat-wr…

Yeah, only listing the top 10 chars to write next results in a few misses. Its also bit of a pain to test a recursive function that uses random numbers.

Good idea. I think waiting for a second would give a little more control to the typist.

Opinions?

Fork it and try it out! https://github.com/trevorah/usernique

Good point. This doesnt sound like a quick fix.

Yep, thats pretty much how it works at the moment (see https://github.com/trevorah/usernique/blob/master/server.js ). The issue is that the server is sending out quite a few of the…

Any tips to sort this out? How are things being rate limited? edit: just realised you meant that twitter/github etc are rate limiting my requests. Bummer.
