holic··on Show HN: Configure domain redirects and URL forwarding with a simple DNS record
This is the kind of feedback I was looking for by putting this out there - so thanks!

I hadn't thought about putting the TXT records on another hostname. That would actually be advantageous for using a CNAME instead of a A record, too.

Can you elaborate on "impossible to use redirect.name URL in email"?

holic··on Ask HN: Screenshot Saturday

I needed a better way to visualize upcoming music events at a given location, filtered by genre.

This is a project I've been working on bit by bit over the last few years, has been rewritten several times, and is about to get a design overhaul once the functionality is finished (getting close!).

holic··on Yahoo looking to acquire Tumblr?
Care to elaborate? I love Tumblr's approach (though not necessarily the content it attracts) to blogging.
holic··on Show HN: I built a self-hosted Basecamp alternative. Try the demo
As a customer, I can vouch 100% for Gumroad: https://twitter.com/kingersoll/status/332104256096190464

Looks great!

I noticed the website uses Foundation while the actual app uses Bootstrap. Any reason? Having used both, do you prefer one or the other?

holic··on Show HN: Usability checklist – catch common problems before user testing
I'm seeing the content flash when checking/unchecking an item. Can I suggest toggling a class instead of wrapping/unwrapping the <del> tag?

  <style>
    .done {
      text-decoration: line-through;
    }
  </style>

  <script>
    $(document).on('click', '[type="checkbox"]', function () {
      var $this = $(this);
      $this.parent().toggleClass('done', $this.is(':checked'));
    });
  </script>
holic··on Using AngularJS at Localytics
Good write up! I've been on the look out for examples of larger migrations from Backbone to Angular. I'm about to tackle one myself, but wanted to make sure it was the right decision before diving in.
holic··on Would it be hard to have a mobile style sheet for HN with pressable buttons?
Wow, love the look and feel of this one. A new favorite!
holic··on Show HN: Pick a better background pattern for your website
Awesome! Much needed.

Though I'm seeing some requests blocked in Chrome (maybe AdBlock? or something else) when trying to use the bookmarklet on an HTTPS site.

holic··on Google Flights
If you have specific airports in mind, you can click the chart icon on the flights search page to display a similar price graph.
holic··on HN saved us millions; we need to change our name
You might also try running a contest at NameStation. They're cheap and you'll get hundreds of name ideas and their respective available domains:

holic··on dōmo: Markup, style, and code in one language
Same! It's a shame CoffeeKup and Zappa were abandoned.
holic··on Our Show HN post results, 1 week later
I haven't seen anyone else point this out, so I will - that background bugs me to no end!

Here's an alternative image, in half the filesize, that is much easier on the eyes: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/291229/anywhere2.jpg

And this is what it looks like: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/291229/copybar.png

Whether or not you use it, thanks for the write up!

Even offline playlists?
holic··on Ask HN: How many domains do you own?
~750 domains scattered between GoDaddy, Name.com, NameCheap, and Moniker. I bounce em around throughout the year for the lowest renewal prices possible.
holic··on Introducing Syte, An open sourced personal site that has social integrations
I love the idea, design, and choice of frameworks/libraries, but I have one beef: I really, really dislike sites that prevent me from clicking with my middle mouse button. I open almost all links in new tabs using my middle mouse button and, currently, I can't do this on Syte.
holic··on Show HN: DailyDo.it - a better way to manage your day
Nice work! Reminds me a bit of http://teuxdeux.com/
holic··on Ask HN: What web services do you pay for?
Spotify, DNSimple, AWS, SendGrid

I would really like to pay for Github, but the private repo limitations are holding me back. I'd much rather pay $10-20/mo for unlimited private repos if it meant each collaborator also had to be on the same $10-20/mo plan. For now, my private projects are hosted for free at Bitbucket.

holic··on Tool for browser share over time for your website
Very cool! I love seeing Chrome usage graphs - it shows how awesome their updater is.
holic··on Incredibox - Background music for programming.
I LOVE driving to Featurecast: http://soundcloud.com/featurecast
holic··on Punch - The new dynamic static site generator [better than Jekyll]
I just recently found this project: http://ruhoh.com/

I haven't taken a close look at the differences between Ruhoh, Jekyll, and Punch, but Ruhoh seems to be solving some of the issues I have with Jekyll (at least on Github).
