So, because a subset of people may decide to be a dick about something, this is a terrible idea and should be shut down immediately. Got it.

"Choose your own rating" would be a nice feature.

YEAH! Because developers shouldn't get paid for their work!

You're right, but making CRUD apps pays a lot better (and more quickly) than complex math/physics.

Sucks?! No way! I played this game for a little over an hour today and love it!

There needs to be a distinct separation of Exploration mode and Implementation mode. This comic depicts a programmer in the latter mode where "collaboration" can be detrimental.

Exploration mode is crucial to the development workflow. It's a space where there isn't "right" or "wrong" and creatively constructive conversations can occur.

You're absolutely right that conversation belongs in development. But only at the right time for the highest effectiveness.

> sorry, but...

Then you are not sorry.

If I may make an observation, you're making a reductio ad absurdum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum) argument.

What a great idea and an interesting use of URL-shortening technology. Kudos!

If you're going to use SVGs, might as well make a font out of it. Otherwise, PNG is the way to go to guarantee uniform display.

> The author seems to conflate UX with visual design or graphic design

I can see that.

What I got from the author is that "sexy" should be emergent and not fundamental.

As a designer, I totally, totally, totally agree with this statement:

> people say designers should code. Whether you agree with that or not, designers certainly need to define the problem and solution not in pixels, but in terms of describing what happens between components in a system ( http://insideintercom.io/the-dribbblisation-of-design/)

My job isn't to make things pretty. Rather, it's to make things understandable. Only when aesthetic appeal makes something easier-to-use & understand does it make sense for me to incorporate it into my design.

In other words: A good designer won't just polish a turd.

I've volunteered at Lean Startup Weekend a number of times, am currently a Hackstar at Techstars first Austin-based program, and have been working in-and-out of Capital Factory with a number of its startups since before it opened.

As such, I'm super excited to see how this event differs in practice and have already signed up to volunteer.

I'm with you on this -- the headings render pretty thin on my tablet: http://imgur.com/FUtdjmD

Despite this, I'm totally in love with the framework -- it feels like all the good things of Bootstrap and Foundation all in one. Definitely keeping an eye on this.

Ahhh, thank you!

I tried googling, but kept getting asked "Did you mean amazon?"

> bootstrap has a lot more components

What are your thoughts on Bootstrap vs Gumby Framework (http://gumbyframework.com/)?

I was fortunate enough to play with the demo before things went down. 10/10; would demo again.

I, too, hope you remember to check back :-)

>There isn't an overall calendar. I thought about adding one. I wasn't sure how valuable it would be though.

I totally understand. You've put together a great product where you can (and should) build more features based on customer feedback (rather than trying to build every feature imaginable and never launching).

Kudos!

Gorgeous. Love the concept, love the price, love the Stripe integration <3

Since you're asking for feedback, I thought this one thing was a little odd:

* Click on a Project (http://www.plumtheory.com/demos/duet/#projects/1) * View the calendar tab (http://www.plumtheory.com/demos/duet/#projects/1/calendar) * Click on a different Project (http://www.plumtheory.com/demos/duet/#projects/2) * The calendar tab is no longer being displayed.

Is there a way to view an overall calendar -and/or- switch between projects without leaving a calendar view?

What is "amaon"?

They are proud of what they're doing. Please, let people share their ideas and implementations. It's okay to rehash "older" concepts and present them to new audiences (who may not have been exposed to them).

If this isn't new to you, contribute to the conversation with additional examples or insight.

An oldie (but goodie) was on the front page today: http://www.thingist.com/item/4372/. There might be some valuable & relevant lessons to glean.

Much thanks for the write up! I'm currently pitting together my first Angular app and feel much more confident in a design decisions that I've made so far.

It would be nice to have some sort of "Here's what we do" or "Here's how it works" section with some screenshots or text blurbs.

Woooo hoo! Congratulations Mike & Humberto!

Please do! Bar none, it's my favorite CSS framework out there!

This is my favorite part of Netflix's UI.

I really wish every website would set their primary search input's tabindex to 1.

Got CSS arrows/triangles? :-)
