Video ain't working on Chromium / Linux (no Flash, no Java).

I really hate that: on a lot of sites videos plays just fine on Chromium / Linux without Flash.

How hard is it to create a website which serves videos in several formats depending on the client?

Hmm, sorry about that :( Can you try the direct Vimeo link? https://vimeo.com/62227334

This is awesome, bookmarked. This will help me because I've always struggled with CSS since I never sat down and actually learned it. Just one thing - much of the text doesn't seem to render so smoothly. Is that intentional or is it just me...? Chrome on Windows fwiw.

It's a known Chrome + Windows issue at the moment - still trying to figure out how to best resolve it without failing back to just web safe fonts.

Divshot vs. Easel vs. Webflow: Go.

Definitely love the fact that it's pre-designed. I think the FireFox support + responsive functionality is the right direction to go as those are the things I hate worrying about when doing front end work. As a Firebug user, I think this definitely fits into my toolbox.

This is really nice, but I just can't get too excited over web apps. Whether it's not having direct access to my source files, relying on the service to stay up (either from server or business issues), working when offline, not having access to OS-level services, the clunkiness and slowness compared to native, or the cognitive overhead of the app being inside another app, I think I'll always prefer desktop apps.

Do you mind telling us about the stack? It's a pretty impressive UI. Feels very native.
