Thank you! The setup: AppEngine, HTML5BP, Bootstrap (I got rid of the rounded corners), jQuery, Backbone, Require.js, Less and Moment.js. To resolve the question and answer content, I make a request out through YQL for the given question_id. For all the StackOverflow information I'm using the StackExchange API. For icons, I'm using the Pictos web font and for fonts, Google Web Fonts. It's a pretty slim app, tbh. I wa…

+1 vote for github. Seems like a wonderful learning opportunity for others.

I almost didn't click through because of the verbose and unhelpful landing page. When I hit "get started" I was amazed at the quality of the app! This is a great view on SO, I will definitely have it in mind.

Fixed. Thanks for the feedback and glad you like it!

I went through checking a bunch of topics I was interested in and it took me a while to notice that the checkboxes were mutually exclusive. It's a bit confusing because that's the opposite of how checkboxes are normally used (consider radio buttons instead), and I had hoped to be able to see answers from more than one topic at a time (feature request!). Aside from that, pretty cool and handy. Nice job! (:

You're absolutely on point - my intent was to enable selecting multiple tags (since the SO API supports it), I just wasn't able to get to that this weekend. Will implement it asap.

In addition to that, you should fix the labels for the checkboxes. For me (Chrome 24 on OSX), clicking them doesn't seem to (un-)check the checkboxes. Other than that, really nice work!

Great idea and execution! Very good work. One thing I immediately wanted is the ability to search through tags. An insta-search widget would be cool. Also, selecting multiple tags might be nice, but I don't know if you're limited by the API. Keep it up, I look forward to seeing more releases.

Same here, I spent minutes loading tags and C-F-ing for Smalltalk, until I gave up.

Realy cool idea. Also like the hidden ASCII gem in the source code.
