(I'm one of the authors) Love seeing this on HN today! It seems to get some front page attention every couple of years. Thank you everyone for the encouragement! Related: last week I published a very similar extension, but for Google S

You crushed it Jez! I wish we could work on more projects together.

The five of us who built this spend a lot of time reviewing code each day and thought it should be less depressing and more fun. Let us know if you have improvement ideas, or even better, pull requests on Github. Thanks, and enjoy!

I wrote this for TextMate. Not nearly as good as built-in support, but I program 10 hours a day with it and it's saved me millions of keystrokes. https://github.com/philc/textmatevim

I wrote LiveCSS for this purpose. https://github.com/ooyala/livecss It's far simpler in that it just reloads your CSS continually. We use it all the time at Ooyala to put our favorite text editor and a web browser side-by-side and hack aw

For those who really want "TextMate + vim", until the newer options mature, you can try this. https://github.com/philc/textmatevim

Additionally, try typing fewer characters when you cd in the general case: https://github.com/philc/fuzzycd I've been using this for a few years and it's been a joy.

In addition to escape, link hints (type "f") also work on that [x] button.

Unfortunately Safari doesn't really have a well-developed extensions system. Until they add one, extensions like this will only be available for chrome and firefox.

I'm one of the developers for Ninjawords. Thanks everyone for sharing in our frustration. I thought this was a bit ridiculous as we were going back and forth with Apple, but I didn't know it would cause such public outrage. I guess Apple is

Also consider Heroku if it's a ruby webapp you're building. It's free until you need more resources, and is zero-fuss to get something deployed and set up.

Great idea. I'd like to see what new stuff people have been doing with js. I built http://ninjawords.com and http://jjot.com about a year ago. I feel like 200 would be too many. with 40, you can meet most everyone there and remember fac

I've wanted a good implementation of web-irc for a long time. That alone is cool enough for me. However, the UI is really bad; I'm not sure where to begin. Once I log into an irc server, how do I play games? I remember seeing a selection fo

stikkit is cool, but doesn't quite hit the nail we're aiming for. It turns out to be another wiki product, similar to BaseCamp, while Jjot is a light-weight WYSIWYG notes application. Try playing with Jjot for a few minutes to see what I m

Hey, glad to find this here. I was just about to post it. This is my startup; I'm working with one other guy full time on it. We applied to ycombinator, got the in-person interview, but didn't make the summer program. You can't win them all

Both of those sound just fine, and I think the extra clutter you'll have in your namcespaces will be worth the extra exposure you get from not forcing people to sign up.

Juwo, this is the most confusing thing I've ever looked at. I have a feeling the product is not very focused itself, and thus is hard to convey. If you can't convey it in a single page with a few terse sentences (ala skype.com), you might n

And consider that they their products thus far are outlook-based. MS does a lot of the work for you if you use their tools and language.

I don't think you'd join something like Xobni and also do a startup on the side; Matt didn't mean that. The point of joining a startup this early is that it becomes your startup. Same concept as finding someone who's already tackling the sa

Rails + Mysql My webapps are requiring a lot of client side logic to be really interactive, so I've found that the biggest producivity factor is what I'm doing with Javascript. The Rails code I've been writing is mostly trivial; as long as

Kudos for adding (useful) complexity to the application without requiring any extra user interaction. This is the way to implement features.
