kennethormandy··on Your favourite app isn’t native
You’re right a better experience should have been provided there, but it could have still been done within a hybrid app. It’s noteworthy because it confirms Instagram uses a web view, something they otherwise didn’t ever make any indication of.

And yes, it kind of is one of those arguments! Thanks for feedback.

You’re right, I only meant the the timeline is a web view. I probably didn’t communicate that as well as I could have. Part of what’s interesting about hybrid apps is that they can use this approach as much or as little as is appropriate.
kennethormandy··on Show HN: Harp Platform now available to the public
Obviously we don’t want this to happen, and I personally don’t think it will, but the Harp Platform has been built with this possibility in mind. The Harp Platform isn’t built upon Dropbox, we chose to make Dropbox one part of our interface.

Yes, this is one option to work around Dropbox’s limited permission options here. You can create another Dropbox account and link that to Harp Platform. Then, share your application folder with your main Dropbox account and match the directory structure (put it inside harp.io/apps/), and continue using the Harp Platform normally.

You’re welcome! It’s not directly possible, as technically Markdown isn’t a templating language. It’s explained a little here: http://harpjs.com/docs/development/partial#markdown

Depending on what you are trying to do, you could have your Markdown files “wrapped” in a partial, and do whatever you need to with the metadata there.

Hey krrishd, if you’re using a variable as your title, Harp will use the correct one in the correct context: https://gist.github.com/kennethormandy/6834709
