The sad robot has notified the admins :(

We're doing our best to put the sad robot out of a job.

While you're at it. When I click on a pin, I want to see what the video is about before I interrupt that great interview. I like the idea of exploring while watching, but I click just to get more information ABOUT the pin. I expected a bubble to popup up with a thumbnail, title, date, etc.

Amazon Cloudfront has been total crap lately. We'll figure out some way to fix this...

I'd be very curious to look at Garry's work.

I know two other devs who developed seriously impressive design skills over the years and they both have an inclination toward specific design style - clean and simple, but nuanced. They design as they code, basically, so it'd be nice to have another sample point to validate the conjecture.

I don't know if he has a public portfolio, but he designed the Palantir logo[1]. The design functions as both a Palantir, the seeing eye from Lord of the Rings, and as a head looking at a book. All with a circle and a wave.

This site looks like shit on mobile. And it requires flash, do I can't watch it on my IPod touch.

ddt5• 14 years ago

We're incorporating a mobile viewing experience on the iOS app. Right now you have to do live video through Flash. We're looking at a transition to WebRTC, but it's not viable as of now.

I kind of hate it when people link to autoplay videos on hackernews. I open a bunch of tabs for interesting stories (and discussions), then go back and read them, and there's always the annoying task of finding the one playing audio when someone links an autoplay video.

We built video links with the assumption that they'd be shared to people who knew that they'd be getting linked to a video. We'll include a tag next time we link to a video on TapIn.tv
