Woah. When I last (tried to) start reading Ulysees, almost a year ago, I thought about this: An online "book club", allowing users to join in reading classics and participate in discussions on top of the text. That would have cert

This seems to correlate to a Hebrew expression "buying a cat in a sack", meaning taking something without confirming its quality. Indeed, same legend is presented as the source for this expression as well.

The sea of useless social buttons and links made it impossible for me to read this on a phone. I hate it when blogs do that. https://www.dropbox.com/s/cmz5rd0l8lu1g36/2013-09-25%2020.46...

Not totally unintentional, since it was created by a website dedicated to app discovery... But yeah, I discovered some new interesting apps myself :)

Pretty cool! Reminds me of the UI on medium.com (selecting text on view mode allows sharing and commenting, and on edit mode pops up a floating format toolbar).

I really like your idea, but what about content being changed/updated, instead of deleted? For some use cases it would make sense to show the cache (when the original quote is no longer there), while for other it'd make sense to forward (so

"I don't know what I could do with the money. I'd just start another social networking site. I kind of like the one I already have." This is a brilliant quote, evidence for Zuck's true passion to his work and product. Inspiring.

Off the top of my head, this move also means that most, or at least some, of the Opera developers who worked on its rendering engines, will now be contributing to WebKit and V8. This might mean even faster development cycles for WebKit, the

That's awesome, now put a link to a license that legally defines how can one use them, to avoid legal confusions. May I suggest CC http://creativecommons.org/ ? :)

The thing is, I actually did install most of the software you mentioned, and most of them just ask you for some credentials and run the db initialisation and population themselves. WordPress goes so far as to do that via a post-upload web i

First of all, thanks a lot for the quick response. Let me apologise in advance for complaining on an open-source project instead of trying to contribute. Anyway, my personal feelings were that some of the dependencies could have been avoide

GitLab looks awesome, both features and design wise, but the installation process is so tedious and complicated that I quit in the middle of it more than once: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/4-0-stable/doc/ins... This is feedba

Cool, I'll open an issue on GitHub and I hope I'll have time to do some research for this over this weekend or the next one.
