I suspect this is because of the addthis social services. Will dig into this later!

Edit: my Ghostery reveals just that: Addthis and Google Analytics. I could perhaps replace Addthis with just a Twitter/Facebook social button, but I liked the layout of the Addthis buttons.

It doesn't go to spam in my Gmail, which it did yesterday. However, some people are reporting the mail going to spam. This is why I'm asking, I can't test it myself on any account.

I see. Great suggestion, might even use that for something else I'm working on :) Thanks for explaining!

If someone tests this and their email goes to spam, would they be so kind to pastebin me the message headers/mime so I can try to solve that together with the Mailgun folks? Thanks a bunch.

I'm hosting this on a Digitalocean box, proxying Node through Nginx. Not sure if I did all that correctly, because that certainly was completely new to me, but it seems to work fine for now!

Could you possible pastebin me the message headers/mime for the email going to spam? The folks at mailgun would like to have a look at it. Thanks!

It's been a long journey of playing around and never finishing small projects until I started this and then it suddenly clicked. I had a bit of PHP and Rails experience prior to this, but Node was pretty much new to me, except for the JS part. The whole async mindset got me in to trouble a couple of times on this project.

The courses on Codeschool helped me tremendously, and this was fun to play around with: https://github.com/rvagg/learnyounode. I read a lot of blogs and some books (will get links later if you want), but mostly it was just trying until it clicked.

May I ask what you mean with mad libs-esque? I did think about what you're saying while developing it but we kinda rushed things and didn't get to focus on the design much. Maybe for next year? :)

Their 'Check Records' tool tells me my records are fine. I'm on the chat with them at the moment, trying to figure it out. Thanks.

I didn't track time on this, but it took me 5-6 days to get it all done. I wasted a lot of time though: I didn't know much about NodeJS backends when I started this, and next to nothing about AngularJS. I did a couple of things three times until I got them right; I used to work as a front-end developer until I got fired last month, so now I'm trying some new things. I'm glad it's an inspiration for you.

Does it? I checked this with Mailgun yesterday and they told me to send through the API instead of using SMTP. So I did, tested with Gmail today (where it was ending up in spam) and it arrived in the inbox.. I'll check with them again.

Sorry, not a native speaker. I'll fix that.

My friend designed this, I did the front- and backend. It's just plain old HTML/CSS, using Jade for the views and Sass for the CSS, with some Bootstrap components. The grid especially was a great help.

I'll try that, might indeed be better! Thanks.

I don't know Elfster, but after a quick look it seems like they offer wishlists, gift exchange, etc?

We send out an e-mail to everyone on the list saying that Santa is busy and asking them to buy a present for person x. The rest is up to them. Not as advanced I guess :)

Thanks a lot!

The font indeed is a bit hard to read. We were in doubt about using it for a while because of this, but in the end we liked the handwritten lettering.. so we went with it anyway. :)

I built this. Girlfriend needed this to organise her christmas party and we couldn't really find a nice one on the internet.. So I built it myself. Mostly for her and as an exercise for myself (I learnt the basics of Angular and NodeJS along the way), but then my designer friend came up with the design and we put it live. Hope you enjoy it.

As far as I know, this (still experimental) grunt task by Addy Osmani, does exactly that: https://github.com/addyosmani/grunt-uncss

Edit: This part seems to have been removed.

Written by Guy Verhofstadt, the leader of the ALDE (Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe) in the European Parliament, I wonder how much impact a column like this, or his views as a whole, will have on the whole situation.

Surely he can't be the only member of the EP who feels like this?

I fully agree. As a front-end developer, working with Fireworks is a breeze, it's fun. Slicing designs, exporting sprites and measuring elements is all done easily and in a very user-friendly manner. The few sites I have developed from a Photoshop design have always caused trouble, because Photoshop is simply not made for the task.
