Nothing short of an asteroid hitting the earth is going to kill open source.

I know. Just what the world needs, another responsive grid system. Still, I think it is a little different, and I had a lot of fun doing the project page. Hope at the very least it gives you a light chuckle.

Nice job Shay - Congrats!

Inception Explained uses Scrollorama, my jQuery plugin for doing scrolling animation. I have an updated version of this plugin, Scrollorama2: SuperScrollorama:

Jeez, I thought I had a lot of side projects, but I think you have me beat. You've inspired me to make my own list:

Thanks! This is my 1st node.js project. Glad you guys are digging it.

Love it! Great, easy way to get your new website project up and running with Grunt.

I think this one has it beat: http://www.bountytowels.com

Its funny. Having kids has forced me into doing this. When at home, I rarely have more than an hour of uninterrupted coding time. So when I have an idea, or get stuck, I'm forced to get away from it, letting my brain naturally chew away at it. I have less time to code, but my time spent is more efficient.

Definitely make the Write a Variation more prominent. Also, on the main page you don't even mention that as a feature. To me, there's lots of recipe sites, and having the variation aspect is your differentiator, so shout it out! I'd encourage you to just rip off the Github fork ribbon, because after all, it is proven to work.

I assume you are working on design? Design will be really important. Having fun factor in the design combined with the social aspect of forking recipes could really do well, but you gots some work to do!

Fixed!

Free! Especially since this builds upon work done by others.

I'm pushing open source hard at the company I work for (Draftfcb). It has been an easy sell, actually. This is one of a few projects our dev group has released, with more on the way... http://dfcb.github.com/

I built Responsivator to easily share responsive web pages with people. To send a link to somebody with the header and controls hidden, you just do this: http://dfcb.github.com/Responsivator/?site=http://www.alista...

You can customize what sizes and labels you want (click the customize button)

JS Devs - I think if you can open up your minds and take a look at what is actually a new and interesting approach to a JS framework, you'll be glad you did. Take a look at the examples. There's definitely some potential with this one.

What about the users? Twitter's connectivity to other apps and websites is one of the things that make it useful.

Is it a prototype, yes. Is it fake, no. http://mashable.com/2012/08/20/aerofex-hover-vehicle/

Yeah, I JUJ'd it.™ (just use jQuery)

Added a play toggle to the demo page.

Another guy posted about the tubular plugin as well.

One thing BigVideo.js has is controls you can customize and I have an example where you can do autohiding of content on top of the background. http://dfcb.github.com/BigVideo.js/example-playlist.html

Also BigVideo.js is built on the Video.js api, so those methods are available to you.

My recommendation is to detect phones through a combo of screen size and touch support and serve a background image or color instead.

Pull requests are always welcome! ;)

That is really, really cool. Did not know about that one.

Can you add custom controls? Like in this BigVideo example below (click one of the playlist buttons on the left): http://dfcb.github.com/BigVideo.js/example-playlist.html

Another benefit is the BigVideo.js is built on the Video.js api, so all those methods are available to you.

Thanks! I'll have to do some more work on getting it to work right on Firefox. It is a little different since FF doesn't have native h.264 support so it goes to a Flash fallback. I wanted to make it easy, so that you would just have one source video, rather than do the .ogg/.webm cascade. So...I'll have to work a little more on getting the flash fallback player to scale better/faster.

Tested on Firefox 14.0.1 and it is working for me. Which version are you on?

Sounds like you are a Regular Joegrammer

In most cases I'd think affiliate ads would be a better way to go than AdSense anyway.

My current favorite podcast: TechZing Live - http://techzinglive.com

They discuss HN stories, but mostly talk very honestly about working on their startups and have great interviews with people like Patrick Collison (Stripe founder), Anthony Goldbloom & Jeremy Howard (Kaggle founders), Alex MacCaw, etc.

JsRender should probably be on there. https://github.com/BorisMoore/jsrender

Great stuff:

1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.

3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.

5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
