Hi all, I'm so surprised that this made HN front page, even though I thought Bootstro.js would be nice because I had a tough time looking for something like that. I guess I rarely get a chance like this so I'm very excited and therefore would like to share here that I love HN so much. Actually there are two things that have changed my profession quite dramatically

1. HN, before HN, i.e about 3 years ago, I was with webmasterworld.com but somehow I didn't get much out of it. At HN i'm mostly just lurking but I learned so much from it 2. Coding-wise, Bootstrap made my life a hell lot easier since I'm basically so dumb at CSS. Bootstrap gave me a chance to execute my idea in a timeframe which otherwise would have taken me months, and getting bored of talking to my colleague CSS'er

Those 2 things have changed my career alot, believe it or not. I don't know what's the point of saying that but I'd like to express what I love & really appreciate.

I like this a lot, thanks for taking the time.

Thanks, it's been my pleasure. I also learned quite a bit of good JS practices, especially from this post http://enterprisejquery.com/2010/10/how-good-c-habits-can-en... because basically I'm a PHP guy coming from Linux C programming world so that post is like spot on for me

"I can resize my width too", that is really cool of you, but it would be nice if you also didn't go beyond my screen edge. Especially if the Next button is there.

Also consider adding push history support or whatever that's called. I'd like to click back in my browser to go back in the intro.

This is mostly because the back/forth touchpad gesture added in some version of MacOS or another, combined with the back/forth buttons on the mouse I use on the linux machine, have made me big users of the Back functionality. Something I would never click on "manually" and wouldn't even consider exists otherwise[1].

[1] Before those two developments I spent 5+ years convinced that nobody ever clicks Back in a browser.

Do you know about : https://heatmap.mozillalabs.com/ ?

The back button is heavily used, even without gestures/mouse.

Well done. I've been thinking we need something like this for our app, but haven't poked around yet. Thanks for making this available.
