Doesnt seem to work on chrome for Android. As soon as I type a letter, the text area seems to lose focus and the on screen keyboard disappears. Nothing appears in the search box.

I had a very similar (albeit less-complete) hack a while back: https://github.com/rob-mccann/Pi-Voice

I noticed this a while back - I'm fairly sure they are scanning your mobile phone contact list via their mobile app. I promptly uninstalled it.

What if someone has a list of tracks that's the same as a Ministry compilation CD, then adds one track - does that make it a different playlist? I would add this track (silence) to the end of my playlist https://play.spotif

You're confusing semantic markup for using <divs> for layout. In < IE8 there's loads of <div class="clearfix"> around because display:inline-block wasn't supported.

Creating complex animations and graphics is what he's talking about when he says 'painting with tags'. Things that canvas and SVG were designed to do. It's not hard to make good quality, semantic html. It makes code more

He wasn't arguing against <div> elements. He was arguing against using wrong elements. <div> is fine for layouts. It's not fine for labels.

I'm no lawyer, but from my understanding of UK regulartions at least, it depends whether your domain is likely to cause misunderstanding or confusion between the trademark and your site. If the trademark was for a cookery product and y

We have a service in the UK called TPS which is voluntary to adhere to. Companies use it as a telephone directory here too.

TLDR: This is nothing like Prism. Prism (illegally) accesses private data, NDEU legally accesses data made public.

Feel free to fork and improve, I'd be interested to see how it would work with your APIs.

That's the idea behind getting it to run on the Raspberry Pi. Having it choose the mic closest to the person that says 'computer' would be cool.

It originally used festival but it was a pain to install on the Pi (which I want this to run on) and the voices I tried weren't as easy to understand. I'd love for it to be an option, though.

Agreed, it'd be cool to develop some kind of verbal querying for the semantic web rather than relying on a proprietary knowledge base - but that's a whole other project for another day.

That's the idea, this is literally just the first concept there's a whole bunch of cool things to be done. I'd love to make it possible for others to build their own extensions too.
