Craig Hockenberry (http://twitter.com/chockenberry) - Got an email from PaintCode's support: a demo and tutorials are coming. Replied with some friendly advice about releasing products…

Awesome. Looking forward to future updates to the app.

Also, it would be fun to have a few more sound tracks.

This game is addictive :)

Interesting way of having a twitter feed.

I understand that the concept is around collecting all the tweets.

Just my thoughts:

- The tweet block can be an avatar image of the person who tweeted

- If the tweet has a photo, maybe the background of the play area can change to that

Just used the code : 93KPXHJ6H7HA

Will give my thoughts in another comment.

How far are you? Would we be able to test it out before release?

Thats a long to-do list...

I'd do everything but get into the kitchen to cook...

Just what I was looking for. Seems like that if these guys also implement the same feature (probably in a future build) it might help many like me out.

From The Verge

"While some of the apps have received additional features, it seems likely that the increase in size is mainly down to the huge graphics needed to fill the new iPad's 2048 x 1536 Retina Display. It's worth remembering that these are only download sizes, and once installed the apps may be even larger. Regular apps will likely receive a similar bump in size once developers update them with hi-def graphics"

"iPad apps up to five times larger..."

True. A trial version would be very nice.

One thing I would like to see is being able to export these vector graphics to other formats.

You no longer have to tweak and recompile the drawing code...

Edit

PaintCode is a simple vector drawing app that instantly generates resolution-independent Objective-C drawing code for both Mac OS X and iOS.

You no longer have to tweak and recompile your drawing code over and over again to achieve the desired result.

What Bret Victor showed in his talk was quite amazing. It really opens up one's mind to what all is possible and what can be changed.

The Core Graphics video is interesting. Live rendering like that can help developers see what they are actually coding. The whole compile and test cycle just breaks the chain of thought which goes on while coding.

A lot of startup events are being organized by various organizations and other groups.

Also, you can see a bunch of meetups on meetup.com, doattend.com and ayojak.com

There are a lot of HN people here in Delhi. Also, a lot of regular meetup events already take place in delhi every month.

I feel that the animations are a bit slow.

He still made it to SXSW.

97%. It has been a really long wait.

Looks interesting.

Seems to me that the functions are pretty minimal right now. Would be nice to see the complex functions getting mapped on the gestures. Otherwise, it is a great step towards minimalism.

Also, looks like the UI was inspired from Metro somewhere in the thought process of the app. Everything is flat with no gloss anywhere.

Let's see if this can start a trend towards this kind of apps.

This was posted about 3 weeks ago.

as far as I can remember, this is almost how an older version of twitter looked like. The difference was that the compose tweet box used to be right above the timeline.

nice work!

Top right corner, click the avatar icon next to the compose tweet icon and a dropdown has an option to see direct messages, but i think you already found it :)

The most stupid thing they ever did was remove the "Start" button.

who introduces "hot corners" without telling people that they are there.

This never ending debate of which editor is better than the other has been going on and on over the years.

Every developer has their own preference. Many prefer TextMate over other text editors. Others just like e on windows.

I have been following the development of Sublime Text 2 and TextMate 2 closely for some time now, and it is for sure a better editor than many others. Sublime has come a long way from the initial version.

But from the terminal I just like the same old vim.

This has been open source for quite some time now.

This is probably what inspired the latest Microsoft Research demo http://research.microsoft.com/apps/video/?id=160684

For those who don't know, Pranav Mistry worked in MS as a UX researcher.

tried to watch the trailer and other things on http://simcity.com but landed onto a fatal error.

I would really like to make a swimming pool without a ladder and a sim swim in it, and watch it drown evil laugh on the ipad.

this is some really awesome work. Good job.

It is some interesting take on how an admin interface should look like. Were you using this in any of your projects and decided to take it out as a theme?

How long have you been working on it?

I feel that the post is a little too harsh based on the fact that this release is just a Consumer Preview and the RTM is still 6 months ahead.

I believe that even though Microsoft has just "metrofied" the start menu, this is still a leap forward in terms of UI.

I understand that Metro apps are still evolving, and this is just the beginning. Wait till we get to see the Marketplace open to developers and some amazing apps being released.

now Game development is like playing a game...

Makes me go back to when I was playing around with Macromedia Flash Onion skin for the first time.

"being able to try ideas as you think of them" - Bret Victor

I think that Chrome does a fine job of making life easier for users. I agree with everything you have mentioned in the post.

Another thing which chrome does nice is when you are closing tabs one after another. The tabs resize in a manner that you have the close button of the next tab right under your pointer. Therefore, there is no need to move your cursor. Just click away. I find it particularly useful at various occasions.

It does not really matter what the name is.

Having a Retina display iPad is a big achievement in itself. No matter what they call it, it is still going to beat all other tablets this year.

They launched iPhone 4S when everyone was saying that it is time for iPhone 5. Who knows what they are going to do.
