Some jackass posts this shit:

Show HN: Derp.js

Wow, Derp.js is so fucking exciting, I almost wet myself.

I post this shit, grinding out JS for three years of my miserable life because I actually fucking care about technology: https://linuxontheweb.appspot.com/

And nobody gives a shit. Thank you very much, fucking assholes.

For what its worth, your web application is really quite something. Any intention of open sourcing the libraries behind it?

My idea is to "self source" it. You will be able to edit the source code from within it, using a powerful editor like vim (emacs might be coming soon). The version that you are editing will be embedded inside of an iframe that is inside of an application window, and people will be able to easily share their hacked versions using the distributed filesystem that I am actively developing. In other words, I have absolutely no interest in putting up yet another lame github project that absolutely nobody cares about. For me, it's about going all the way or no way at all.

If anyone is interested in working together with me, the best place to join me is the "native client discuss" forum: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/native-client-discus...

> This represents the next generation of computer-related technology because it completely obliterates the historical division between the radically distinct paradigms that one may call native form (whatever our operating systems automatically do) and online content (whatever we manually look for in our web browsers).

I don't understand what this actually means. What problem are you solving? I'd like to know more.

I don't think anyone has really wet themselves over this library. Your app is cool, but it doesn't solve anything for me. This library aims to solve a problem some developers have easily.
