For the curious and/or lazy, the core of the trick is

  -webkit-filter: blur(1px);

plus

  -webkit-transform: scale(0.9);

and requisite wrapping. I'm sure I'm not the only one that just learned the former existed (and is supported!), so I thought I'd point it out.

Publishing a book has been on my bucket list for a while. And I have no plans to bitch about it being "stolen".

Name recognition and being able to say "I wrote the book on X" is far more valuable than the royalties most authors make these days.

So please, steal my book, and ask your friends to steal it too. Your free marketing on my behalf will be most welcome.

> to engage with people who want to try out the technology at this early stage

I suspect that group of people (those who want to try the early stage) intersects enormously with the group of people put off by hand-wavey dismissals of concerns about the infrastructure they use.

What you've built is cool, but you're selling to sceptical and curious early adopters. Keep that in mind.

I'm consistently amazed at how agencies full of information security experts, who understand that security by obscurity is the bottom of the barrel of fake security, nonetheless believe that keeping information secret from citizens is the best way to keep the country safe.

I saw this as a speech and this was my reaction.

For the first half I was thinking this was an inspiring story about an entrepreneur who realized he was taking things too seriously and was working himself to death, finding success in peaceful and carefree execution of an exciting idea.

Then came the part about how he got funded, and I came to realize this was more a story about an entrepreneur who won the startup lottery, is happy about it, and realizes that having money and relaxing with a well-funded team is better than working your ass off alone and not being able to afford utilities. Which is of course a foregone conclusion.

Thus for me the final act ruined what would have otherwise been an insightful tale of perspective.

> I'm looking for constructive feedback on what can make this a go-to replacement for awesome sites like jsFiddle.net and jsbin.com

This seems like the wrong goal. Nobody wants a replacement for an existing site, just because.

To quote Ashton Kutcher: Mark Zuckerberg will always be a better Mark Zuckerberg than you. You won't make a better jsFiddle by trying to be a jsFiddle.

Do something that jsFiddle.net and jsbin.com don't do, or do it much better (read: simpler). Quick idea: git access.
