...and the pedants who've never added value to anything in their entire lives arrive right on cue to complain about page formatting and to question what purpose this serves (because, of course it would be too difficult to read the page for more than 2 minutes). This community truly is toxic. Luckily the Dropbox guys never listened to any of you

#12Come on people. I'm so tired of most of my comments being reminders to check your UX!
I'll short out most, if not all, of your responses here.
I'm on mobile. I don't care if you designed for the desktop web or not, most visitors will be mobile web. Just test it. And for Cthulu's sake rotate your phone 90 degrees to make sure it works.

#13I like how they set the price:
$(function() {
var price = localStorage.getItem('price');
if(!price) {
price = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 3);
localStorage.setItem('price', price);
}
$('#price').html(price);
});Re: Waffle.io
#14This seems fairly similar to HuBoard. Anyone know of a reason to use this over that?
Re: Waffle.io
#15the benefit of open sourcing my code is that other people can use it or contribute to it. why would i ever want to open source my task queue? if this is a valid use case, how does this really differ from something like Github issues or a public Trello board? comparing https://waffle.io/waffleio/waffle.io to https://trello.com/b/nC8QJJoZ/trello-development i'm having trouble differentiating.
As a recent comment suggests it's a "kanban board".
From the Trello wiki page - "Trello uses a paradigm for managing projects known as kanban"

#16I tried to view on mobile and the page is unreadable. OP, if you are the creator of the site, please consider having some sort of mobile optimized page! (Even if it is just an info page)
Even a site that I could read on mobile would be good. Resizing doesn't help with this one so some text and images can't be viewed.

Or use the iOS Simulator if you're on Mac. It's simple, it launches in seconds, you can point it to localhost on your machine if you're serving locally for testing, and you can check old versions of the OS with older versions of Safari (like 7.0 where you couldn't minimize the UI).
In their defense users who actually want to contribute will likely be on desktop but I get your point. You're reading HN on mobile and want to be able to see the site.

#18I like how they set the price: $(function() { var price = localStorage.getItem('price'); if(!price) { price = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 3); localStorage.setItem('price', price); } $('#price').html(price); });
And there seems to be no validation of the localStorage. I could set it to 0.000001 for example and it would work.

This is interesting. Any one know what is the reason to use "random" pricing? Especially only diff 1-2 dollars.

#20Notice that this app was created by a group of interns at Rally, which is a larger, publicly traded company. This isn't just someone's side project...
