Mozilla Labs - JS Tools

I would expect the guy who found an issue with GitHub to report it to them. Yes, the rails people could have, should have.. But they explicitly asked "him" to report and there is no word on whether he did it or not.

If an app makes it possible to do SQL injections, whose fault is it?

What Rails have done is to have a particular default (whose correctness can be debated) and document how it can be exploited and how to safeguard from it.

The Dropbox API 15 years ago

In Snapier, it will be better if you have a message why you are asking for emails. More importantly, provide a message which is a little more than "Thank you very much" when I enter my email. Though I got an email within a second, it will be more user friendly to give a "We'll connect back soon" in the site itself.

Also, in the email you mention 'check us out on Twitter' but fail to provide the twitter id.

Just my two cents. If any of that sounds badly phrased, I blame the clock for showing 3 AM. Cheers :)

Sane RSS usage 15 years ago

Didn't know there was a HTML5 weekly too. Subscribed.

Already subscribed to Ruby and JS and absolutely love them. Thanks for the great job!

Feedback:

When showing the list of recommendations, keep the form with the inputs on top, so that I can change my option right there and see the next set. Going back (honestly I had to search for that link) and choosing again is tedious.

Also, for some reason, the twitter user name was gone and I've to type it every time. But I guess that could be my browser, not sure. (Linux 11.04, Chrome)
