Thanks! The radio buttons as well as check boxes do show an outline so that they can be used in PDFs where no existing outline exists. If the PDF already has these outlines, the widgets can be resized so that the outlines of the widget match the existing ones.

You can erase existing signatures by overlaying a new signature widget on top of it and specifying a solid color as the background.

The frontend uses React, with Firebase handling most of the backend stuff.

I'm working on an app[0] that makes hosting temporary PDF forms simple, without needing an account or payment. You simply add input fields over any static PDF and publish it to get a link which you can send to other people who may need to fill the form.

The form stays online for 30 days. To keep the forms online for longer, I will be offering paid plans.

I'm a father to two little boys and tracking their growth is typically done on paper charts such as https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/who/GrChrt_Boys_24LW_1... which are not very usable on screens and require you to draw lines with pen on the paper for accurate tracking. So I made a digital version instead with React and D3.

The charts are limited to those for children under two years of age since growth charts for older children differ based on nationality.

Thanks. Trees that are too big do get hard to manage currently and it is something I have been unable to decide on a solution for. I was thinking of allowing users themselves to expand or compress ancestors and descendants ( which would mean even more clicks :( ) to focus on the part of the tree they were currently working on.

No reason in particular, but I don't have a Facebook account so integration with Facebook would have required me to sign up first to test the integration. I don't mind creating an account on Facebook if required, but I am trying to avoid it if possible.

Thanks, that makes sense. I'll see how I can make it more intuitive

It's just svg circles animated with css so no libraries were required. I've tried to keep external libraries to a minimum

Thanks, I've tried to make onboarding easier by showing the popup tooltips, but I guess it needs more work

But aren't you still using the certificate to validate the receipt to find out which in-app purchases have been made?

If so, wouldn't you have to validate receipts against a new certificate once the old one expires?

Do you have a link? I was just about to get started on a project and getting a $2 Arduino would be great for tinkering

That's really good. Is it open source? I couldn't find any licensing info

This method could also be used to evade XSS filters.

For e.g. I believe encoding code using something similar is the only way to solve this challenge - http://escape.alf.nu/9/

He is not suggesting that the Rupee is devalued due to money being brought back.

Rather he is suggesting that the currency is being manipulated using other means so that money which is brought back from abroad gets a much more favorable rate when converted into rupees.

Not sure whether I agree with this though

Given that there are people who can't afford a place to live coupled with the deflationary crisis, could someone explain to me what would be the issues, if the Japanese government simply starts giving out a minimum amount of money each month (as has been proposed for poorer countries where people actually face starvation).

On the face of it, this solves two problems in one go, the poor have a basic guaranteed income; and printing and distributing money solves the deflationary spiral and pushes the currency towards inflation.

Would checking the value of [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier] with a hardcoded value help?

It would be a bit more code, but just a few lines of verification code when the application launches and the app can refuse to start up if the value doesn't match.

Someone dedicated would still be able to crack it, but it would at least require some effort on the part of the fraudster

A government (or government sponsored entity) probably wouldn't be so brazen to start using the stolen certificate to distribute malware on Opera's site.

I would imagine that keeping this a secret would be worth a lot more to the right people.

If you prefer listening to it rather than reading, printcrime was in an Escape Pod Flash piece a few years back...

Paul Irish's "10 Things I Learned From the jQuery Source" is also a really good analysis of the jQuery Source, particularly for people still getting started with Javascript.

It's available at http://paulirish.com/2010/10-things-i-learned-from-the-jquer... and should be interesting to people who liked this link

I started using mention (https://en.mention.net/) which I came across on HN itself and I must say I'm really satisfied with it.

I use it mainly for alerts about apps and services I develop and it does a good job of alerting me whenever someone mentions it on websites as well as in tweets etc.

I run www.mobjectify.com

While it is targeted primarily towards users developing mobile sites or apps, it does solve atleast two of the problems you stated.

The mockups are made using jQuery Mobile and so are responsive by nature, and the design can easily be exported into html and css.

While it is still far from perfect, it does work with the aim of the browser being your mockup tool, with the service simply being an aid to allow access to prebuilt components.

The code is not open source, or atleast not under a permissive license.

The code clearly has a copyright statement stating all rights reserved and there is no mention of a license file.

Anyone who modifies the code and rebuilds is violating the author's copyright

I noticed that in the sample chapter you mention that subtlepatterns.com does not require a credit link (although appreciated)

This no longer seems to be the case, and the site now mentions only CC-BY-SA 3.0 (with no mention of not requiring attribution)

The original link seems to be a search result, which makes me wonder could this be used as some sort of SEO technique.

I'm not implying that this was OP's intention, just that from what basic understanding of SEO I have, Google takes into consideration click through rates of a link, higher click throughs resulting in more favorable rankings.

So, theoretically, if you could get a lot of people to visit an article using Google's search link, instead of a direct link, would that somehow convince Google to rank it more favorably?

Again, not something I'm accusing the OP of, just generally wondering.

Even if that argument holds, and I want to analyze which sections of my shop or store are frequently visited, how often users buy goods, and effects of various changes that I make, I don't see why that should be illegal except in cases where I actually ask permission from every customer who walks into my shop.

Nice.

I also like http://mattkersley.com/responsive/ which shows different resolutions side by side, I find it easier to compare.

College may not be required if you're sufficiently self motivated, however I still feel that for the majority of ordinary people, college still makes sense.

If you leave aside a field like tech, which has ample resources for those willing to teach themselves, this is simply not true for most other skilled professions

Regulations aside, would you go to a doctor who was self-taught or live in buildings built by architects and engineers who didn't go to college?

Atleast for the STEM fields, I still feel that college should be an absolute requirement.

Of course this is not meant to criticize your choice, just feel that the whole 'brilliant people don't need college' thing is taken a bit too far.

How is this any different from Font Awesome being very similar to the Glyphicons set used in Bootstrap?

A few days ago, when it was posted (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3672526), the comments were largely positive.

I'm not saying that nwienert is necessarily right or wrong, but it's strange that this post received such a strong reaction compared to the Font Awesome post.

I'm curious, is there a reason to allow people to re-license the code instead of simply modifying it to BSD/MIT or some such permissive license.

Anyway, thanks for sharing.

I too would like to know your experiences as far as the business side is concerned.
