So if I keep drinking glucose every now and then would it benefit in keeping my willpower up?


It won't prevent it, will just reload automatically when the page expires


Thanks!


Wanted the site to more informative. Video dosen't really convey anything. When I clicked on the title: "Quickly build beautiful web apps"- I was expecting something totally different


Why was this article removed from HN home page?


* I'll see what I can do. * I am using Lucida Grande, but it needs to be installed on the machine. * Should I move it down like 2 pixles? Seems fine on my machine though

Thanks for the feedback. I am not english native - ran the blog through a online-grammer-checker something and it said everything is fine :)


Yeah thats true. But frankly I never got why practically "everybody" takes their screenshots on a mac - It's almost like I've to go buy a mac just to take the screenshots and do my screencasts.

P.s: I did buy a mac last year.


The developers may actually be using Linux/Windows, but the designers have quite a bit of influence if they control the final presentation of the product to the user. The bias towards Mac screenshots could be due to designers typically using Macs (a stereotype that has proven to be true more often than not from my experience).


One of the reasons is that type looks much better on a mac.


In general, I agree that Helvetica looks much prettier on a Mac than on Windows (one of the main reasons I despise seeing font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; on pages). Some other fonts don't look too bad on Windows, though.

I don't know much about font rendering; this is just what I've noticed. For what it's worth, some screenshots of the same text with font-family set to Helvetica [0], Myriad Pro, and Segoe UI on Windows 7, Firefox.

Helvetica(/Arial): http://snag.gy/Jneor.jpg Myriad Pro: http://snag.gy/f2IJx.jpg Segoe UI: http://snag.gy/ujvpX.jpg

[0] This actually defaults to Arial, I believe, because afaik Helvetica is not bundled with Windows. (Is there no way to use asterisks on HN?)


Hi. Thanks. Yeah noticed that too. Seems like bug in chrome? Can you try on firefox. That's the one where everything seems to be working just fine. reading localfiles, canvas and save image.


Hi OP Here: Safarishot is a Js tool that will wrap your screenshots (taken on any os) in a nice safari window running on a mac.


add the ability to go grab the screenshot (just give it the url) and you've got a winner


:), thanks, that'll cost server resource. I don't know if I can run it for free. I'll try though


1) That'll be cool and in fact easily implemented. One of the reason why it din't do it was Candidates need to setup the server and stuff. Some might readily have it, some might not, which might skew the overall time taken.

2) Agreed, may be ask them to login through facebook or twitter before solving the challenge?

3) Launched it like 20 days back :). I wanted a more complete demo with voice over but some suggested that my indian accent would turnoff a lot of audience. Have mailed a few voice over guys.

Over all, all the 3 can be done, will mail you once I have them in.

Thanks for taking the time to checkout cull.io!
