- apunic 12y agoReally like the idea and just had this thought: why not just present the code in color, normally indented (so not like minified) and in your favorite theme (such as Solarized Dark) in a long portrait format poster, then put some glossy finish on it and I'd buy instantly.
- Untit1ed 12y agoMy initial reaction was "oh is that all". I mean don't get me wrong, the way the site works is nice, but I was really expecting it to move the code around such that the whitespace formed a picture, or have all the lines of code in random text sizes, or allow you to prioritise different sections so that some were highlighted or something like that. As it stands it's not really something I want on my wall.
- dmcginty 12y agoThis reminds me of Litographs, a company that puts full text of books in poster form. While the concept works fine for prose it doesn't translate well for code.
- username223 12y agoSame. I was expecting something more like Perl's good old "Acme::EyeDrops", which obfuscates your code, then pours it into an arbitrary ASCII art shape. That's a lot more work than just removing whitespace and using characters as pixels, but this guy is charging money after all.

Customize it and add a logo Not sure if this is public or not but for example Wordpress git repo with their logo https://commits.io/builds/115b510aca7 https://commits.io/builds/115b510aca7 http://i.imgur.com/OzzW4ZV.png http://i.imgur.com/OzzW4ZV.png [Just in case it's not accessible, screenshot fully zoomed out] http://i.imgur.com/Zi37xZF.png http://i.imgur.com/Zi37xZF.png [Zoomed in on the whiter parts of the logo]
