Author needs to figure out a better way of doing screencapture. Using an image that might _actually_ induce seizures isn't a very good first impression.
I thought it was one of the clearest explanations I have ever seen on github. Many other projects would have a lot of text, no video, and if ever a video it would need flash and load slowly. While I agree the quality of the video isn't top notch, its clear in seconds what the project does.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why does he need to make a good impression? look at the code and make your determination - build it and make a pull request with your improved video. This is the spirit of Github: he may be an awesome coder but weak in video production - fork and collaborate.
s/Github/FOSS/ Fixed that for you.
Startup does something to differentiate themselves, is immediately copied. Lame.
Startup does something clever but simple; competition begins quickly. It's not the creator's fault that it's easy to reproduce and he did so in his free time. It's now free for everyone. Maybe the startup could clone his repo and keep part of their product updated by the community for free.
How does it make sense for Path to abandon their original implementation of this idea and to use the GitHub project instead?
I love the way the new Path app looks / works but not a big fan of the fly out menu. It adds an additional click versus having a simple bar of the actions appear at the bottom of the screen. Does anyone else feel the same? Just curious.

And even if there was a bottom bar, Path offers 6 different posting options. Putting all of them on one bar, or hiding them somehow with a slider, would make it seem awfully crowded.

A constant bottom bar would take up screen real-estate reserved for the feed, which is where most of the user's time will be spent (mostly consume vs create content) And even if there was a bottom bar, Path offers 6 different posting options. Putting all of them on one bar, or hiding them somehow with a slider, would make it seem awfully crowded.
A tab bar would be a worthwhile replacement for the slide out left menu, which adds friction to switching sections, and lacks discoverability. If you want people ever visiting those sections, it's worth the screen real estate you lose.

improving upon is cool. copying is lame.

If the only thing that differentiates you is a fancy fucking pop-up menu, you've already lost.
copying is lame behavior, is all. next up, path will change the behavior as they learn, and the other guy is lost. good job.
i have seen this before - see my other comment.
Would love to see a HTML/CSS version of this.
