Any reason why this has completely disappeared from the first few pages when it was at 25ish a few minutes ago??

Shows I didn't have a good enough look. Ha.

Thanks again for this.

Ah cheers. I'll have to start checking it out again. had a little look

Default thing is what's hot. Good good.

I think the only thing with pineapple.io is that you kinda want something super simple to look at like a list with HN but it's cool. Already drawn to how to build your own flappy bird, flappy tyto?? lol

Completely forgot about pineapple.io

Although I thought this was more of an educational go to in terms of, I want to learn X so I search for X on pineapple.io.

Would you recommend it as also a source for finding new things then?

This could be my reason to set up a tumblr lol.

However, how do you decide what comes in and what doesn't without some democracy, I guess that is the issue. You almost want a shared tumblr.

I could quite easily create a sub page on github pages to have an archive of links. I'd have no trouble doing so.

You can get caught out though with how do people submit things they've seen to you also. If it was via email and you don't like it not sure how I feel telling someone their thing wasn't cool enough haha.

But it's an idea. I'd quite happily set up a page linking to things I thought were cool with short descriptions by the side.

Hey chazu,

Thanks for the feedback! :)

That is what I am going for. Just something stripped down and simple for people to use.

Maybe as a slightly informal task management tool alongside something more corporate that's required for work ha.

Let me know how you get on if you do!

Thanks again

Hey @dangoor,

Yeah that's certainly a valid point. I've tried to account for this on smaller viewports by having min width for the board set to like 400px I believe.

I guess setting a minimum column width could be useful, on the other hand you kinda don't want people to have loads of columns because you want to keep the amount of things you're working on to a minimum right?

I'd be interested to see what people think is the best approach to this.

Thanks again for the feedback, it's much appreciated.

Hey keehun,

It would be cool if there was like a categories thing for HN though right because sometimes there are loads of other things on here. How hard do you think it would be to make something maybe that people could just post their projects too and then could filter by day, week, month in popularity.

I'd be interested in making something like that I think. Couldn't be too hard surely.

Hey @brador

Thanks for that, it's a cool thing to hear :)

If you have any suggestions I'd like to hear them.

As for searching for projects, it's certainly tough to find them, I'd say HN new page has a lot that get overlooked. Reddit sometimes but harder to find IMO. It would certainly be nice if there was somewhere for people to purely post their projects or if HN had some type of filtering.

How hard could it be to make something like that? Want to give it a go?

@jh3y

Thanks @oftenwrong

I should've put that in.

This is basically for me the next iteration of feedback to get tyto further as an open source alternative for people to host themselves.

@jh3y

It's just a tool I built for myself and for people to be able to take and host their own versions.

I wanted an open source tool for people out there who want something that they have full control over.

Thanks for the input thinxer.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not just shamelessly sharing again so please don't think that.

I've tried to implement the things people were after in the last showing in term of UI behaviour etc. and now I'm coming back to get the next round of what needs doing to be honest.

With only me working on it posting here for me is the best way to get criticism for me to go forward I've found unless anyone has some other ideas for this.

Thanks cjbprime, I'll look into something like Meteor(I haven't previously)

Any other suggestions are more than welcome.

Thanks for the feedback, it's much appreciated.

@jh3y

USP over Quickcast?

Quickcast which is free from app store with no account needed will do this for you.

Personally, I would opt for not modifying the DOM heavily and push more of the work into CSS making use of different DOM structure and data attributes instead of just classes. Also CSS pseudo element will save you a lot of DOM footprint in some cases and the combination will result in quicker performance.

Also the use way in which you build a progress bar, what exactly is happening there?

I completely missed the USP of the project for a second and was wondering why you hadn't opted for a pure CSS implementation like progre(c)ss

I posted a big comment and then didn't see the extra content!

I think your demo page should make it more obvious that you should scroll down instead of the icon that implies peeling up the corner.

Performance isn't a huge factor for me I don't think going from a 2010 MBP with the RAM upgrade and a 64gb SSD. I merely just use text editing, terminal and browsers, Spotify or Netflix if I'm on the go I guess.

I don't really use any space, I use Spotify and I mean I have a 64gb in my MBP and I probably only use like 15 of that lol.

Ha and this throws me back at the 11 when someone had suggested the 13. Yeah external screens are going to be a big factor. I have the screen at home I can hook up to and you can connect an MBA via VGA to most monitors I'd imagine

That's a real good point, I hadn't even thought about firebug sessions on the 11inch, that could be a dealbreaker and point me towards the 13 to be honest.

Thanks for that!

A lot of people are suggesting the 13 it seems so it may be the way to go. I just like the tiny form of the 11 that's why I am drawn to it.

A+

Ha I do love those displays, my 2010 MBP has seen better days though with a rather large dent in the corner from dropping/knocking catching a train.

Hmm It's a tough one, you have the 11? I am super keen on it but so torn.

Yeah I find I live in one window only on any laptop to be honest so I would be familiar with that way of doing things.

I like the idea of the 11 being incredibly portable. My thinking is if I really need the bigger size with me I still have the 15" to transport around if need be.

But on train, plane, between meetings, coffee shops etc. the 11 could just be a more practical solution and it's a little cheaper. I can hook it in to a VGA display or whatever whilst on the move I'd imagine.

In terms of coding etc. I opt for sublime with the explorer collapsed then just the terminal and browsers so it could work I think.

Hmm well I do use it when I'm around the appartment and stuff or I use my iMac. But as the 15" can't connect to the iMac because it's not compatible I was wanting something portable that I can take around with me, train, travel etc. I'm a contractor so odds are there will be displays I can plug into where I go.

Yeah I have seen them in person in store. I just wondered if anyone had long term experience or had this predicament before and what they chose.

I mean 13 inch MBA is on the refurb store atm in stock so maybe it's a sign to get it. My thing is like I have a 15" MBP so getting the 11" would be a bigger contrast in size as opposed to the 13" if you see where I am coming from.

Thanks for the response.

Do you have any first hand experience going between the two?

I've been in the stores and had a play with both but of course being in the store is completely different to being a couple of months down the line and thinking hmm I could've gone smaller or I could've gone bigger.

I mainly to be honest flick between sublime text and the browser and the terminal. I auto hide the dock and that's about it.

I appreciate bumping this link in a few places but I have some questions regarding it.

If all you do is put a js file in and a theme file, how do you have control over what element, the progress bar is on without having to write css to do so and how do you say which requests to monitor and which ones to not? It seems like having full control isn't quite there.

You could simply add an AJAX prefilter that has an update function within it before making AJAX calls and that wouldn't be many lines of code at all and means one less dependency.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the heads up though!

Hey Ryel!

Thanks!

I'm going to make a few little improvements to add some extra out the box features.

Pass it around :)

Thanks again
