There's a typo on your home page: "Stackfield offers you a selection of tools that every team needs to get the dayly work done." Dayly should be daily. Also cool post!

I really like that idea, it would give the user a sense of how much they use it over time.

I wouldn't say it's a sad state of affairs. - ASOS is the Amazon of clothing, shipping internationally. I think it's the number on online clothing retailer in Australia. - As much as we all hate Wonga, in terms of technology

We're the UK-side of the office and we have guy called Craig. (Rhymes with plague/vague.) All of the USA-side pronounce it Krr-egg. Even after I've explained the difference to a group of them, it still goes back to Krr-egg af

I can't remember where I read this but the font they write on the roads (at least in the UK) when looked at straight-on seems unusually tall, but when viewed from the steep angle of a car it looks normal sized. I would guess the same i

It's like their annual conference for developers. Like Apple's WWDC. Or Microsoft's... (not sure what it's called). I love the name F8. It's a great play on words.

First of all. This looks like great game (after reading the description on there), I'll be downloading. You may want to put a description of the gameplay on the site. I was only compelled to buy it after the video + gameplay instructio

Mailrox: https://www.mailrox.com/ Stemmed from something painful I had to do every day (build HTML emails) that a web app didn’t exist for. Then I slowly went from using it to every day to running it every day. If you’d hav

Simply put, it means an email you send could determine you geographic location if it's 'leaking your IP'. 'Leaking your IP' - should probably see a doctor about that.

Lipton appears twice on this chart. Did that slip past the editors? Makes you wonder if any other brands on the chart are in the wrong place. I don't have time to check them all. Edit: I don't think L'Oreal is owned by Nestle

If anything "Mozilla herds its Firefox users" into using the auto update system inside Firefox, which is very convenient and helpful. You're talking about a very small number of people who will update the way you described. M

This was my thought too, hand out a set of discount cards (or passbook barcodes) with a moving window from 11:30 to 1:30 on them. If someone doesn't like their time frame, they could swap it with a different employee. ...there's a

That's a ingenious little addition. You could extend it to all the tabbable elements on the page too. So once you've tabbed outside of the form element, the blue glow files to the next link, or the address bar in the browser and s

Magento does everything if you wade through the data. Like if you wanted stats on... off the top of my head, abandoned shopping carts by region and product, you could. I think in Shopify you can view how many abandoned carts there are in th

I have repeatedly had clients on a budget choose Magento over Shopify due to a lack of fine grain control. It's very frustrating that they can release a POS system, however fail at, for example, complex sales reports. I wish they'

It's that time of the year again, where you have several minor heart attacks reading through the list of start-ups that might just be one you're about to launch. On a another note, I have to say one that really stands out to me is

It's payment systems that are supported. Not debit or credit cards. My debit card is from Visa, and Visa is a supported payment system. I think that's why he makes a point of saying American Express in the blog post too, it's

I've been using the UK beta for a few months. Honestly, the API docs and Gem are so good you don't need a book. From sitting down can looking over the docs to charging my debit card for a monthly subscription took about an hour (a

Begrudgingly; congratulations. It was my bit of fun app after a serious start-up. The scotch will have to do.
