Existence of micro-packages and the recent development saying that twitter as a host for micro-packages seems weird to me.


Twitter as a host was a joke. The zealousness for these micro packages, though, is all too real.


Offering and maintaining an open source project is subjective whereas the classification is objectifying the overall philosophy.


interesting read. yes native can't be beated especially if we conside loadtime, animations, api support. the only reason for me to go non native would be the cross platform compatibility. however the cost of compatibility is much less over the performance.


I agree. That’s exactly why I gave up on cross-platform idea.


Hackpad is wonderful. We use it as a quick tool to discuss our ideas. It's more readable, gives a proper track of changes, and is effective. Having known that it has gone open source makes feel even better.

However, didn't Dropbox bought Hackpad earlier ?


Inspiring.

First the idea of mapping slums and making stakeholders aware (even though they are already) whenever they sit to plan. Secondly the idea of using children who will foresee the future they want to live into.

"The value of child-led mapping, however, is not restricted to dreaming of a modern cricket pitch or other public utilities (although that's evidently important)."


This was what similar happened in our case as well. My fellow developer had convinced me that FFmpeg development was stopped libav was the successor. So, its time we need to study few more and determine what is better for a production, consumer centric application.


What is the concept of the app ? We can try if some hints are provided.

Also, namestation does good job in helping to crowdsource the naming (domain names) problem.

Found an article suggesting some ideas behind choosing a good name. http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/239556


It's a document editor (meant as a replacement for google docs, etc.).

The main advantages of the app over what already exists are:

- Minimalist design - Faster - Simpler - New features - Works on mobile devices

That article is useful, thanks!


SimpleDoc.com is available. Domain is no-doubt good, but will it sound good for your product ?


allwrite.io is available.


works sometimes :)


SimulatingSnails

Gastropodasim would never be the name of my choice.


The domain name was gastropodasim. The name was Gastropoda. SimulatingSnails is too long and sound more like an instructional project site rather than the name of a simulation to me, but thanks for the suggestion. I prefer SnailLife.


going thru the comments, its seems that the remote consideration is going to be the charm as well as the biggest challenge.
