Looks great, is there a hosted link somewhere for people to play with without having to download?

Yep, just the main national tracking polls. We email every one out so at the state level it might get overwhelming. And we can't really put too much into a filtering setup since it's a product that'll autodeadpool in 2 weeks :)

Oh, come on. It's only 2 more weeks. Just think of it like a really big sporting event, except way less impactful ;)

Developer here. I helped build this site after noticing I was checking presidential polls like 12 times a day and really wanted a quick disposable tool for the next 2 weeks to get them as soon as they are released. On Nov 6th, we'll shut th

Definitely. I bet there's a lot of companies / startups who need something quick and simple though. So lots of room for both solutions.

CreateJS is awesome. This service seems to be more about content hosting though. So still useful to some people I think.

Awesome, thanks a ton! Fixing up deploybutton now, hope to have some of the bugs worked out soon.

Luckily great tools have been built for this. We use Opscode Chef and it's life changing. After an admittedly painful learning hump, we're able to completely power our sysadmin via code. DeployButton is just the trigger button, not the miss

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. As you may already know, this was built for the 48hour Rails Rumble hackathon. So it will definitely have quirks and there's a ton of stuff we had to cut (like collab git access instead of full oauth which

Awesome writeup! Rails asset management can get pretty complex for newbies, but with a few good strategies like described in the article, it can be tamed and managed without too much trouble.

Completely agree, it should be emphasized that nReduce isn't trying to compete with existing accelerators. I think it's actually a great first step for companies to get to the point where they can join one (since the good ones tend to requi

Actually, App.net is quite useful already with it's 17k users (as was twitter when it had that many people). It doesn't have to compete with Twitter, just provide a growing self sustaining user base of paying customers. Seems like an ok bus

I would pay (prepay) for this. OmniGraffle has been painfully slow to improve, and just doesn't seem to cater to web or app ui design. Unfortunately it's the best thing out there so far. Need something better. Build this as a native app and

Sorry, I just meant compared to Rails in terms of impact. Ember is nothing like Rails architecturally. There's a good comparison here: http://emberjs.com/guides/ember_mvc/ So yeah. Ember's problem is convincing people there's a problem (h

pangratz has created an awesome example dashboard app (along with source) http://code418.com/ember.js-dashboard/ . He also wrote up a dev blog series on it: http://code418.com/

Perfect article and explanation. After having bought into Ember a couple months ago and using it heavily, it's been really hard to express to others why it feels so revolutionary. Ember really changes JS development in ways that the other f

Another simple idea (that you've no doubt thought of): using Twitter (or App.net) authentication. That way people are a bit less anonymous and more accountable. I can imagine people would hate this, but they might be the same people who are

To clarify, I'm not affiliated with App.net in any way (aside from being a backer). Just an idea I had that I thought would be cool, and make App.net really useful to me as a user and developer.

I think the App.net client should just show a little warning saying "{{middleware_name}} no longer responds. [Disable] [Retry]"

You can also sign up by email on the login page. We just put the linkedin icon on the homepage to make things easy on people. It's a work in progress still :) Definitely appreciate the feedback!

Sure, of course, and the "n" is a nReduce isn't really an n. Stands for "Eta Reduction". http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Eta_conversion But names are just names. We tried to have a bit of fun with ours.

nReduce has been incredibly helpful to our startup and I'm super psyched that Joe and Josh have been able to put dev resources into building what's turned into one of the most useful resources to keep our startup motivated and shipping thin
