remybach··on Getting 1Password 7 ready for the Mac App Store
I switched over to Enpass (https://www.enpass.io/) not too long ago and it's been great. At the time (about 2 years ago), it had the best feature parity with 1Password and it's continually gotten better over time.

Out of interest, have you heard of or tried this thing you can 3d print for the Switch? https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/8/16/16155858/3...
remybach··on Pocket Casts acquired by NPR
The playback speed is a feature in the Android version (pretty much the deal breaker with other podcast apps for me) so hopefully that's in progress for the iOS one too.
remybach··on Board games are back, thanks to lessons designers learned from computer games
Yep... used it last night for the first time actually and had a great time! Got to play Dice Throne which is currently really hard to get hold of and have a few others on the list that I want to try before buying.

I don't have first-hand experience, but I've heard Mice and Mystics is pretty good introduction to dungeon crawlers.
remybach··on Apple acquires sleep tracking company Beddit
I charge my watch when I get home since I hardly really need it between then and bed time where I can either glance at one of the clocks around the house, or take care of notifications and what-not on the phone itself. I then put it back on charge between getting up and leaving the house in the morning.

It sounds like a lot, but it's very quickly become routine.

Well there goes my afternoon.
remybach··on When you plug an iPhone into Ubuntu you can access the app folders on the phone
... surely this isn't meant to happen, right?
remybach··on Labels in input fields aren’t such a good idea
If you're using jQuery, check out my plugin: https://github.com/remybach/jQuery.superLabels.
remybach··on Labels in input fields aren’t such a good idea
I created a jQuery plugin for just this: https://github.com/remybach/jQuery.superLabels. It takes things like the placeholder into account (which is way too often abused).
remybach··on Rvl.io: Online authoring and hosting of reveal.js presentations
I've always been a huge fan of reveal.js and this takes the tedium out of making these presentations. Nice one @hakimel!
remybach··on JQuery Super Labels Plugin
True! It wasn't like this when I wrote the plugin though, plus I needed the effect to work cross-browser.
remybach··on JQuery Super Labels Plugin
Hmmm... not quite a real-world scenario though. I like to consider it a quirky easter-egg :)
remybach··on JQuery Super Labels Plugin
Oh, also... once you're in the field, the placeholder disappears and you have no idea what you were meant to type (which is why the plugin slides to the side by default).
remybach··on JQuery Super Labels Plugin
I had looked into doing this with pure CSS, but I hit a roadblock. I can't remember what it was, but it may have been the Firefox thing mentioned. Would be cool to add a css file that does the same to the project when the support is there though.
remybach··on JQuery Super Labels Plugin
Yeah, I've got an issue open on github for this. I'll fix it when I get the chance. Thanks :)
remybach··on JQuery Super Labels Plugin
That's not what placeholders are meant to be used for though (see here: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/...).

This plugin doesn't replace (true) placeholder functionality, so I suppose it's the same as what you're doing except more semantic.

There's an option to do that:

$('form').superLabels({ slide:false });
