mobinni··on Ask HN: How much bigger is Google than other co's Twitter, snapchat, Facebook?
You are comparing apples and oranges my friend. They all target specific user experiences and vastly different services. If I were to guess, Google would be vastly larger then the rest following by snapchat/facebook tied and twitter lagging behind with 300 million plus active daily users.

mobinni··on Ask HN: What are the signs a piece of technology will become commoditized?
I'm no marketeer, but off the top of my head:

- Branding - Word of mouth - Market value

It's tough to become commoditized in this market tho'

mobinni··on Douglas Crockford's JavaScript Encyclopedia
I think Douglas never got around to writing those sections, or maybe he thought they were self-explanatory. Who knows?
mobinni··on Is Bower Useful?
I support this message
mobinni··on Ask HN: Why aren't phones software?
Because like all things, people love options. Consumerism would fail if everything was generic.

Is the code open source?
mobinni··on Show HN: Online Invoice Quote and Expense Management
free 30 day test I tested it out, you can customize templates, but they should add the ability to set it up completely in html and via a builder for non-technicals

Go premium button on the top does nothing
mobinni··on Do we need browsers?
My question is which shift do you follow then, the app bubble is there and it's about to burst. Web is trying to build once deploy everywhere. It may not be ideal, but xamarin and other technologies don't offer an easier solution.

I do agree that browsers should be reviewed and revised and trimmed down to the essentials with added functionality through encapsulated plugins or so, the browser tries to solve too much imho

mobinni··on Ask HN: I want to become an evangelist, how do I go about it?
Well if we can't make mistakes...
mobinni··on Ask HN: I want to become an evangelist, how do I go about it?
You make a valid point that the term he used is harsh and mean. But don't assume he is a bad person, you can't say he isn't evangelist material based on 1 wrong term he used.

If we're gonna hold words against people, well obama isn't president material, because you remember that one time he said the N-word. No president should use racial slurs. You see what I'm getting at.

mobinni··on Ask HN: I want to become an evangelist, how do I go about it?
Even the nicest people can be brutally honest it doesn't mean he was mean to the people. You yourself are assuming he is not based on 1 brutally honest opinion. No one is perfect and even the nicest people can generalize it's nothing to be ashamed of and definitely does not rule him out
mobinni··on Ask HN: I want to become an evangelist, how do I go about it?
What did you trade evangelism for?

He probably felt like sharing, paints a good picture as to why he wants to do it tho

I think what he means it doesn't comply with the Android implementation. At first I wanted to make it like that, but it didn't seem like it would comply with UX of websites.

True, it's a poorly chosen name. Once I make a range of components I will rename it.
mobinni··on Show HN: Made my own date picker for AngularJS
Well it was a project specific feature I worked on that I was allowed to open source, that's why it's framework specific. I would like to port it to vanillaJS, but even then it wouldn't fit the requirements of many MV* cultures
mobinni··on Show HN: Made my own date picker for AngularJS
Exactly what I thought, and even the browsers that can use it, it's not ideal to customize
mobinni··on Show HN: Made my own date picker for AngularJS
It really is, thanks!

Indeed, I did my best to keep the dependencies minimal in this one. Although it's angular reliant it only has one dependency to momentJS
mobinni··on Show HN: Made my own date picker for AngularJS
Technically you are right, but I find that as a developer when management decides on a certain path of technology you have to work around it's flaws and try to make something that has the look and feel of something made with quality, even if the code will turn out ugly 99% of the time

Right now it works on 1.2.28 and up. Thanks! Much appreciated.
mobinni··on Show HN: Made my own date picker for AngularJS
I have thought about it, but I just haven't had the time to implement it, I'll put it on the features list.
mobinni··on Show HN: Made my own date picker for AngularJS
At my work, even in production we still have to use Joda Time to support proper datetime stamps. Momentjs is pretty much the same for JS at this point. I think my datepicker works pretty well, I just added a demo if you visit the github page at http://mobinni.github.io/material-date-picker/ you can test it.

I used the angularstrap one, it's pretty good!
