Beau Miles, a most entertaining Aussie YouTuber, is running a project where all ad revenue from this video will be used to buy tree saplings, which he'll plant.

That picture wasn't what I was expecting, which was more like this: http://i.imgur.com/Lx6OiIb.png solid arrows show chronology, the colors highlight compatibility, dashed arrows are backporting.

Simple Perl interface to this API is now on CPAN: https://metacpan.org/pod/WebService::Prismatic::InterestGrap...

No, it's not. Several people have signed up saying "I don't know Perl, but this seems like a good opportunity to start learning it".

Let me check if it's on github ...

I gave up reading before I got to what it was he did to improve the development rate - TL;DR anyone? :-)

One of the few titles on my list of books that I tell people not to read (http://neilbowers.wordpress.com/2012/06/23/book-review-atlas...)

$5 isn't a small monthly fee, for a newsreader.

* might be an idea to have a feedback link (why I'm posting this here) * scrolling becomes tedious very quickly. Needs a better overview mechanism. Eg only show the first N lines of a story unless I'm interested. * Without some notion of how you're going to define relevance, I quickly became way of disliking something. * You could have a way to like/dislike the author, as well as the post. Ie a way to say "I always/never want to read stuff written by this person".

Yep, OmniGraffle for me. I've been using it for the last 8 years.

Much as I don't want Google to shutdown Reader (though I'm also relying on the http://www.reederapp.com author sorting out another back-end), I would suggest that the number of people signing the petition is going to be <= the number of people currently using Reader.

And Google have decided that number's not high enough for them to keep it around.

That's a terrible UI. I wanted to add some data, but couldn't work out how to, and gave up in frustration.

That's a terrible visualization. It takes way too long to work out what "the story" is.

Nice, needs a bit more complexity and slightly less frustration :-)

Since you're being pedantic, the word you were looking for was "pedantry", not pedanticism :-)

- The front page needs to offer me at least a one paragraph overview of what the service is.

- Center-aligned text inputs don't work for me

- the first few steps felt fine, being 'forced' to give details of team members etc started to annoy me: I started thinking "just either tell me what it is now, if it doesn't exist, or let me get on to playing with it". I gave up at that point so don't know if there was a working service at the end :-)

Going back in time left-to-right feels wrong, though perhaps those who read text RTL may disagree :-)

If 3D graphics performance is important to you, then don't get an MBA just yet, stick with an MBP. I've got a 2010 MBP, my biz partner has an 2011 MBA: for general CPU burning it's on a part with mine; disk I/O it obviously tears mine up. With an external screen it's pretty nice as a development machine, but personally I like the 15" high-res MBP screen too much to downgrade to an MBA.

(1) you've spelled the product name two different ways in the first 3 lines.

(2) why would I pay $10/month for this when checkvist does this and more for $0/month?

(3) the help overlay is nice.

(4) interaction on lists not intuitive.

Yes, but via Reeder. I gave up on using Google Reader directly.

Reeder (www.reederapp.com), having tried many and stopped reading any RSS feeds for a good while because I got too frustrated with them all. It's a front-end to Google Reader, which I really didn't enjoy using.

Main thing I'd like is the smarts to filter out stories which are essentially the same, but perhaps not exactly the same.

Oh, and if I bookmark/star something, then next time the same story comes up, highlight that I've already seen it, or even suppress it.
