Yeah, that's a bit janky. Could just have the switch happen slightly before they overlap. Thanks!

so disable it in mobile. this is an awesome library I've ben using for months now inside of scrollkit.com. Makes it easy for our users to create parallax effects like those on websites all over the web (which often don't work on mobile).

Thanks Alex for putting this out there and saving me a lot of time and work.

if you don't have foursquare - this is what mine looks like http://alongside.co/u/nSXxUZ7

Does anybody know who made this?

structured data is actually something i'm really into. what sort of metadata or tags do you think might be useful to add in automatically? i don't want to make the user do any more work than necessary.

these are the ideas behind scroll kit and i'm glad you agree with them. but we'd be some pretty shitty hackers if we just talked about them and weren't trying to actually DO something to change things.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, we're definitely still tweaking the design and some of these issues are just things we haven't gotten to yet (3 person team - we're hiring!).

We did have the toolbar vertically-aligned before, but found that it got in people's way a lot more when they were trying to design the page.

Also, I'm kate@scrollkit.com if there's anything else you come across, this stuff is super helpful for us.

We're a tool for people to make webpages without using a template, so they can start from scratch with a totally blank canvas. You can see the sort of things people are making here: http://www.scrollkit.com/s/I6QWRuK/

How did you get it to work? I've been wracking my brain over this but can't configure it correctly http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12358173/correct-s3-cloud...

Yes. We had an email collector for awhile but it wasn't being heavily used. Any good ideas for things to add?

Hm, blank ones? data URIs are how we store the drawings on the site, which are HTML5 canvas elements

scroll kit (http://scrollkit.com) - Ruby/JS developer (NYC) and designers (freelance, intern, or fulltime, potentially remote)

We want to teach the web to make the web, by building a tool that makes website creation as intuitive as drawing.

We're a seed-funded two-person team, so anyone who comes in at this point will be getting their fingerprints all over the product.

Email hey at scrollkit dot com. We'd like to see some projects you've done before, and learn about what you care about making. Our jobs page: http://www.scrollkit.com/s/127

Upvoted just for the title. C'mon, value judgements of CS vs programming aside, there needs to be a broader awareness of the difference between the two.

Wait, so what's the point in taking you into a realm that's utterly absurd? I'm not sure that it helps men relate to women's experiences if it feels absurd....

sorry all, 'Memory Quota Exceeded.' On a bus, will have to fix this when I've got real Internet.

Yeah, making the comment form available would be a good idea. And I didn't mean that people should use them as feedback to me, but to the author of the link description. Need to add a way for people to edit the descriptions.

Hmmmm...are you logged in?

that's what the comment section is for! http://teachyourselftocode.com/links/1

Thanks, guys! This was actually just a couple-of-weekends project - my main thing is http://scrollkit.com. It's a lot cooler than this.

I just disabled sorting for the moment until I figure it out

Thanks, just emailed. Maybe the problem has to do with this line in links#index

tags = Tag.find(params[:tags]) @links = Link.order("votes_count DESC").includes(:tags).select{|link| (tags - link.tags).empty?}

It's my first open source project too. https://github.com/kateray/tytc

http://scrollkit.com! very flexible in terms of design, though not made for liquid layouts. (disclosure: my project) let me know if there's anything you want it to do that it doesn't.

Sorry, we'll definitely be supporting other browsers in the future. We're a two-person team right now and haven't had the time to work out all the browser compatibility issues. Looking to hire a 3rd person - interested?

I think that's sort of the point. I don't think they compete, but what's interesting is people's perception that they do. It serves to highlight this tension between expectations of tech literacy going up at the same time as tools are making coding skills less necessary for building things on the web.

Yeah, we've been having some really bizarre DNS problems, that I've never encountered before. Thanks for letting us know though.

Whoops! I've fixed it

All I want Wave to be is Google Docs + Gchat on the same page. Possibly with the ability to link parts of the doc with the Gchat conversation going on when they were written.

In that case, I'll go for option b. But validating the attitude that hot techie-women should be paraded around as spectacles performing for the benefit of their men is not going to help us get there.
