While I understand why folks voted this down, but it made me laugh. :) I never thought about the NSFW filter, but I believe domains that fit my full name were taken when I registered the domain.

When I was a little kid, my last name was a problem because of the times I grew up in, but nowadays it only leads to hilarity. Plus it's short and easy to spell. ;)

I didn't mean to devalue the challenge of implementing and testing a new feature. All I'm saying is that it wouldn't require much problem solving. It'd just be a sorted list, perhaps with the ability to reorder and resize items with some JavaScript. The GitHub devs are obviously skilled coders, and have many JavaScript ninjas among them.

Hell yes! I saw a prototype at PyCon last year and this is just awesome, really great stuff. Glad to see Python continue to evolve.

Well, it's an alpha, so it's not really comparable yet. It's safe to say that it lacks some "probably expected" featured.

I don't know about now, but when I tried it a month ago, it lacked an options menu. Clicking "options" on the main menu opened a dialog with placeholder text. Maybe they've added one now, but I didn't see one skimming the updates list.

I like knowing which tweets I've read. If it says that there are new tweets, can click it and see the new tweets appear. If they just appeared on the feed, I wouldn't know as easily which tweets are new. Does that make sense? I guess I just like being able to load the new tweets on-demand.

"That’s the passive aggressive look of Twitter telling you that there are two more tweets to show, but also refusing to actually show them. That would be too useful to their users. Instead, they want you to stop what you’re doing and click the button to load the new tweets."

I dunno, I actually like that feature.

Anyone know of some open hardware that does this same sort of thing and works with existing software?

"Setting up a Windows build environment"

... what? Why would they only support Windows? Why would they even suggest Windows? Why at least not offer information on Linux, where I'm sure a large percentage of folks are contributing from? It is a FOSS project. You should develop it with FOSS software, such as Linux.

In what way do the nice appearances and animations suggest reality? :P Still funny.
