bwm··on Show HN: My Project to fit Three Servers into a File Cabinet
what do you use them for?
bwm··on Show HN: Our first iPhone app, built entirely in JavaScript
I'm pretty impressed with what you can achieve by running JS in a WebView, that said, it still is not as responsive as a native app. This is one of the better attempts I've seen though at bridging the gap between HTML5 and native, perhaps it just needs another year? keep up the good work!

We've got some pretty granular analytics on the site. It'll be interesting to measure how much people are engaging with it. We'll probably write a blog post sometime over the next few days regarding this if anyone is interested.

Thanks for your feedback.

- We didn't realise that mongo had such a negative connotation Portuguese - in british english it doesn't. We'll probably stick with it for the time being but change it if we offend people.

- Yes, we really want to add in a way to select different subreddits. Not too sure about letting people sign in though but definitely a good idea.

- We might go for non-obtrusive game mechanics, so the progress bar + points + leaderboard + tweet progress. It just didn't make it into this release.

- Preloading images is a good idea that we didn't think about.

We'll be adding in swipe left/right controls for touch devices.

Thanks, we've got similar feedback previously, but decided to stick with the name as it was memorable. I do realize that this is something that could put people off though.

Thanks. We actually had subreddit support in an earlier version but decided to take it out for the sake of simplicity. It's definitely a feature that we'd like to add back in though.
bwm··on Tilt: Visualize your web page's DOM in 3D
This is very cool. I really like the effort Mozilla has been putting into showing people what can be done with modern web technologies recently. They've got a whole bunch of other cool demos at demos.mozilla.org
