Working on adding a analytics feature in a side project (https://www.getosmosis.com). Right now you can send people questionnaires to set up projects - I'm working on making it so you can see if the person viewed from their computer / mobile, etc and from where.

I'm hoping will help me get a better read on how people use the site and help customers do the same with their clients - obviously similar to Google analytics but tied to events in this application, and should help make sure we're not sending notification emails if some bot hits the site.

a to b! an anonymous textboard for people: http://i.imgur.com/vjEfiwI.png sometimes, it is hard to be wrong when one's name is on the line - anonymous discussions can remove the ego from the discussion. http://atob.kthxb.ai

It looks like you have an interesting take on tripcodes, although users with colorblindness issues might have some trouble differentiating.

My WebKit hack from two years ago that splits the rendering area into N joined columns, such that you scroll content Up->Down->Left->Right. https://vimeo.com/59463521 The intuition was that screens are almost all wide-screen, but content is all narrow, due to readability. This was an attempt to add a mode to browsers that can let you use more of your screen real estate. I have a draft of a blog post from a year ago e…

It's an interesting concept and intuitively it might seem desirable to fit in more text/information on the screen, but after some thought I think it would diminish user experience.

The supporting arguments come from the principles of graphic design and book publishing. Digital screens are very much evolution of print. Two examples. Think of the well designed art books or hard covers. Large pages with significant areas taken by blank margins. This is easier and more pleasant to look at. Cheap pulp fiction paperbacks on the other hand had little margin space. Second example is the latest redesign of the digital version of the New York Times. It takes advantage of the fact that having blank/white pixels is free in comparison to unused spaces in the print edition and many changes were aimed at reducing number of items on each page not increasing.

So in my humble opinion it's an interesting experiment, but in the wrong direction...

I've been working on a "web app builder". It lets users create a web app based on a pre-built template and tweak it to their hearts content. Examples are link-sharing apps like reddit, image sharing like Dribbble, blogs, cms, pastebins etc. Link here: http://getsproute.com It's also open-source: http://github.com/sproute/sproute

Just an FYI that you're heartbleed vulnerable: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=getsproute.co...

Oops forgot to restart Nginx after updating. Thanks!

Life Goes On! A game, built in Unity, about sacrificing knights and using their dead bodies to solve puzzles. http://i.imgur.com/qeuo84C.jpg http://i.imgur.com/g1oFM31.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7PoX6th.jpg This game started at a game jam two years ago. It became an evening and weekends hobby, then it became a full commercial release, and we just launched on steam. ( http://store.steampowered.com/app/250050/ ) I thought…

Congrats for the awesome game! :D It's really fun — and I also had lots of fun watching the playthrough on Game Grumps. (where I originally found out about it). One thing I wondered: do you have a random Knight name generator based on something like markov chains, or do you just have a very, very long list of knight names? Also mad props on the visual effect of the lava heating up the rocks, it looks super realistic.…

Thanks!

Knight names are a mix of a list of names, and a random name generator that pulls from a pool of first names, surnames, titles, etc.

The lava heat on the rocks is indeed a custom shader, put together by our artist.

image upload / effect / sharing web-app for free as a side project started 3 weeks ago was looking for a web-app which gives me easily access to some interesting imagemagick effects but everything i found was just not as comprehensive as it would be possible, so I built it on my own during a weekend and I optimized the UI last days.

The Business Social Graph It maps relationships between companies, their investors, acquirers, competitors & customers/partners. http://cbinsights.com/marketing/img/screenshots/business_gra...

Interesting... Are you familiar with theyrule.net - the art project of futurefarmers from few years ago? Note that it seems to be Java driven so you need a desktop browser to see it.
