Hi Patrick. Great stuff! We're currently implementing invoice payments with the new Stripe button over at Paydirt ( https://paydirtapp.com ). One little issue: in Chromium 20.0.1132.47, the button renders with a line break and overflows th

The magnifier was built for us by the super talented @taybenlor. You should tweet him to tell him you like it :) That SO post is pretty thorough! Yep, it's a canvas element with rounded corners moving around on top of a fairly stock-standar

Good feedback. Thanks bdunn.

Exactly. There are many ways to alienate potential users (missing languages, missing features, etc). In the early stages we've learned the importance of focussing on the biggest bottlenecks first.

That's good point. Taken on board, and we'll improve the page to encourage IE users to let us know. It's very true that things might change which would require us to change our tack, but as a bootstrapped startup with a hundred things requi

Absolutely. We do dev work on the side, and in those cases take our orders on browser support.

It really makes you wonder how many of the other shining beacons are also working their asses off to stay afloat. Probably, nobody has it easy.

You're right. My recent encounters with IE9 have been pleasantly surprising (and I bet IE10 will be quite competitive), but for us the numbers are so low that, at least for now, a broad sweep feels OK.

True, it's really just a spin. It's a benefit for most of our users because we can use the time more productively to improve the product and support in other ways. In the zero sum game of the 24 hour day, an hour saved is an hour earned.

Thanks for such a candid telling of the Adioso story. Certain parts ring so familiar it's uncanny. Just as you got a boost from hearing that Airbnb had some tough times before the tide came in, we find it encouraging to hear how you've ha

Very wise. This post is by no means a prescription for everybody. We're lucky that our demographic tend to use stronger browsers. Actually, when I exclude blog traffic the IE percentage drops further. :)

It's a good thought, and an area that's ripe for all sorts of standardisation. My passwords follow a system which is secure, but doesn't conform to all the password requirements of all sites, so I get caught out with this problem all the ti

I guess that's another benefit: you can more readily take on larger jobs, and that broadens your potential client base.

Hm, maybe it's the border-image. For me, specifying `background-color: transparent;` to `#home article` fixes things right up, at least in firebug.

Hey cool! We're a team of two so I'll be trying this out for sure. Your landing page lured me in perfectly. By the way, your <article> tags are rendering with a white background-color, but I assume they're meant to be transparent/#2

Great site, but I found the interface very confusing. It took me ages to figure out what to do next at every step. The resizing text is an ok idea, but currently it's more distracting than guiding. Hope that's helpful. :)
