Stop trying to rely on the hive to vote good stories to the top. Either the democratic approach doesn't work or HN is getting gamed - either way the site is now effectively broken. A decision has to be made from the top about what HN is all

svg. doc is similar to html (nodes in a tree structure) and it can be scripted(js). Animation scripted by hand or using an external lib like jq.

Hey thanks for easybcd - it's awesome!

Thanks for the clarification Todd - this makes perfect sense. I think what confuses the issue for many people, myself included, is that other frameworks(Sencha) are trying to recreate a pixel perfect iOS/Andriod UI/experience in HTML.

Performance of these types frameworks on anything other than the beefiest mobile hardware is woeful. I get your point though... 1 click deployment to multiple devices is a great feature.

Great work, however it's far short of the quality of Sencha Touch. I have to wonder what the point of mimicking native UI is. I've just started learning Obj-C and iPhone dev and getting ones head around basic UI functionality is at most 2-3

An amazing product that I've been following for the last year has reached the 1.0 milestone. I don't use GA so can't comment on feature parity. Importantly (for me) it has a powerful API, plugin architecture, easy integration, dead easy mul

wow! great find. I wrote my own svg image editor, but this is really slick - and the code is a lot cleaner than mine :) One of the contributors also wrote canvg: http://code.google.com/p/canvg/ which implements the svg spec in canvas allo

<sarcasm>wow what an amazing pearl of wisdom.</sarcasm> why does this sort of self evident junk get the front page?

sure it can be done as long as you are using Chromium nightlies along with the --enable-webgl switch. Now when can I use it with assurance that I can target every browser and the 90%+ of my visitors will be able to see it? I love web standa

Nobody's arguing that you should ditch Flash today, but the use cases for it will diminish over time. Right now if you want cross browser 3D, video or animation then Flash is the way to go. But in 10 years time when all major browsers have

I'm kind of shocked at how casually you say 'They can default on their debt'. What a fcked up attitude.

care to elaborate? I've been developing with it for a couple of years and am quite happy with performance. Of course its going to be sluggish if you're targeting ie6 or something since the DOM the framework creates is HUGE. Would be nice if

Seems like a reasonable idea. $19/month is very high for what the product does though. Any comparison to what your competitors are charging? Seems like more of a $5/month type idea.

can anyone shed some light on why some people are reporting aliased text (even with clear type)? I'm looking at them on XP and they look stunning in all browsers. It's not a bulletproof system. I tried looking at the sample page at work whe
