A side question, which seems worth asking as long as this is floating at the top of HN ... We try to rotate in fresh projects into the list of Backbone apps on the homepage: http://backbonejs.org/#examples ... but there are often many more interesting things out there in the wild than we're necessarily aware of -- for example: Rdio, the new GoogleArtProject.com, and Pitchfork.com. Are you currently working on a fun B…

We're using more and more backbone in https://paydirtapp.com - it's currently an integral part of our time-tracker, with the same code base reused in our Chrome and Firefox extensions. We're also using it to drive d3.

Any recomendation on epub readers for Mac?

If you just want to read, Amazon's free Kindle.app is by far the best Mac reader. Use KindleGen[1] to convert .epub to .mobi (or scroll up, someone's already done this here).

However, be warned that it won't allow you to copy text even from an non-DRMed ebook, which is quite silly and makes it useless for anything that has code samples in it. For reading a book on screen it's pretty good though.

My team just finished building two new features of our application using Backbone and now we're actually looking into switching to Ember.js to take advantage of the automatic databinding and lack of a need to do manual DOM manipulation. Can anyone comment on their experience with the two frameworks?

Do yourself a favor and look at AngularJS.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm a newbie, although I feel somewhat informed on these subjects (although not skilled in coding). Anyway, I like the idea of using javascript everywhere. I plan on building smaller apps that are only client side. But I wonder if there is a cohesive method yet of using javascript everywhere. Obviously meteor was big news yesterday, but it's quite immature. The YUI Mojito project also recently made news and is more s…

Backbone, underscore, jquery, node, socket.io is a good place to start.

Thank you! It's much appreciated.
