pointpointclickon Show HN: Card – An interactive CSS3 credit card form

I can't imagine I would ever use this, as a developer or as an e-commerce customer. But it is certainly a well-executed, fun exercise... Folks on CodePen.io would go bananas over it.

pointpointclickon Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell?

kittyroulette.com + kittehroulette.com

Chat roulette for cat videos... Next Kitty!

Not currently live... No revenue... launched it on April 1, 2010 when news about ChatRoulette was all over the place. It went pretty viral and enjoyed a nice long tail of traffic. Took it down recently to switch hosts, and never finished...

I also have the following domains: keyboard.cat, instakitty.com, instapuppy.com, kittyleaks.com, okaykitty.com, emojikit.com, bananaphone.me, srsbiz.co

pointpointclickon Dear GitHub: Please let us sort our projects

In the last paragraph OP writes "I implore you to allow us to sort our own repos. I know that there are mixed feelings about Windows 8's tile layout for their start menu, but I think that's the sort of thing that we need for project sorting."

pointpointclickon How it feels when everyone you know gets laid off

That actually sounds nice when compared to one company I worked for. They laid off our entire development team via an email. Adding injury to insult, nobody has received their final paycheck.

pointpointclickon Ask HN: Are image maps a thing of the past in modern/Web 2.0 design?

It's been several years since I've created a true image map. However, I've approximated the technique more than once by placing various, absolutely-positioned elements over an image. I favor this technique because it does not involve opening a new browser tab to look up the correct children and attributes of the map element.
