Ah i've been curious about what improvements folks would like to see most in SRS learning and this thread is gold! It does seem as though Anki’s core is undeniably solid, yet its power can also feel like a hurdle for non power users. A

Interesting concept for sure. What's the tech behind this?

whoa, this is exactly the motivation behind a current project (just posted a ShowHN thread actually!), centered around collaborative time capsules. One criticism we've come up against when we tell people we're interested in buildi

ah yes i agree $9 is not low, but i think we need to communicate more of what you'll receive in by mail. we won't send just a sheet of paper, but rather a neatly printed letter on high quality paper (diploma quality stock) with maybe letter

wow, beautiful app! i had a similar idea with a different slant as a side project, centered around the idea of writing a letter to your future self. am currently testing whether or not people would pay to get letters printed and mailed to

What I find interesting as well is that being attractive is not all roses, and sometimes it can work against you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr Hedy Lamarr, credited with the US Patent for frequency hopping, was met with disbel

one criticism i've heard of bitcoin is of its independence of influence from monetary policy is also its achilles' heel. there's no mechanism to alter supply subjectively and the global supply is fixed to a logistic curve. a problem arises

yeah, i'd be interested in comparisons of urban transportation across the globe. beyond taxis, an analysis with comparisons like underground use vs. taxi etc would be a great follow up to this article.

these are awesome slides and a great embodiment of presentation zen. thanks for sharing

yes! the main header on the Priceonomics blog originally linked our home page, but that left users stranded on blog post pages when they wanted to visit other tumblr posts quickly. imo a link to your homepage elsewhere is a better solution

I'm extremely interested in UI/UX workflows, especially compared between differently sized teams. A documentation of user-centric design, from the sketch/ideation phase all the way through to a product postmortem would be absolutely phenome

adding myself to the list of people who think this is absolutely amazing. the last time i got excited about something like this there were rumors of HTML tags for various chords and tablature signs. super excited to see this in development!

I'd love to see more sketches just to see how much detail a designer puts into a sketch on average, and how that varies across different areas of design. It's nice to see barebone sketches like Maykel's and Ian's. Even after reading bill bu

Great point about the usability possibilities. There are probably tons of creative ways to use this effect since it's SVG based. I found myself assuming too that this would be used as presented (as a flipbook) so I think this experiment b

whoa, this site is looking good! love the use of subtlepatterns and conservative use of gradients on the buttons. who designed this?

I think the HTML5 vs Native debate is less about the software as it is about hardware support on a corporate or communal level. As a software developer, i've been hoping HTML5 would take off since I first learned about it. However, in mobi

i actually like this better than the other "pure CSS" examples i've seen. in a sense, i think of this as an interactive lesson to illustrate a box shadow hack that could conceivably be useful

Interesting post. Perhaps on the incumbent end, the equivalent would be "We Need an OPEC of Mattresses."

Yeah, I think there is an all or nothing attitude somewhat. I think the most common pattern i've seen that people maintain a personal blog and use facebook/twitter/google+ as channels for sharing. That being said, this article is a great m

This is great. I volunteered at Maker's Faire earlier this year at the Scratch booth and a lot of parents were wondering what some possible next steps could be for their kids who were interested in learning more about programming. It felt

Interesting point. I think that's also due to some influence on Apple's part, because Macs were never released with sequential numbers like the iPhone. I'd suspect Apple is purposefully trying to disassociate the iPad with the iPhone and r

The app looks great, thanks for sharing. Did you guys come across any issues with Titanium's memory management? I'd imagine debugging could be a nightmare.
