Look cool, let me know when there's a PC version.


There's an open source version that's in ruby and runs on the command line, and likely works on windows.

https://github.com/guard/guard-livereload

https://github.com/guard/guard (has windows instructions)


On the other hand, there does not seem to be a way to contact a HN user unless you specify your email in your profile. Let's just hope “LR on Windows” will make it to HN home page some day too.


Sure, will let you know! (Some time early next year, I guess.) Meanwhile, as other point out, you can use guard-livereload on PC if you don't mind installing Ruby.




Yeah, apparently the kid didn't think of Google.


Ya - but they weren't 'invented' by an 11 year old with a crazy younger sister and a belief in his ability to conquer the world that only a preteen can have ...

That's marketing you can't buy ...


That's not the point of it. Of course it already exists, who cares? I think his movie is genious. Let him get some entrepreneurial experience.


genius


oh yeah, typo :)


Was there ever and doubt that it did? How could we excuse hiding/showing "tabs", for example, if it didn't?


I always advise to show all tabs for users without javascript support.

  <div style="display: none">
    Hidden tab content
  </div>
Else noscript users would have to disable CSS to watch the above hidden tabs, pretty inexcusable. The "correct" progressive enhancement way to do this, is to show all the tabs, and use javascript to hide tabs from view from those that support javascript.

Basically it has always been a bad idea to "hardcode" visibility for tabs/divs.

For example visit: http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/static.py?hl=nl&... without javascript support. The content is hidden for everyone and pressing expand won't do anything.

Compare with: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en... . Even without javascript support you can still see the examples, because those are only hidden if you have javascript support.


I like to use javascript to add a class of "with-js" to the body element immediately after the body tag. Then you can just use css to style everything dependent on javascript. For example:

  <body>
     <script type="text/javascript">document.body.className='with-js';</script>
Then in CSS you might do this if you want a certain element to disappear only if javascript is enabled:

  body.with-js #foo { display:none; }


Indeed PE is a better approach, it's also important to mention that CSS is capable of doing full dropdown/tabs functionality without any javascript (taking advantage of the :hover selector), but I may just be nitpicking your examples more than your intentions.


Agreed, at first I just chalked it up to this be a "rogue" blog by some members of the team, but this page is the only "official" page I can find on the product. The favicon is even Wordpress...

Edit: this is a more branded description: [Amazon Help](http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html//ref=amb...). No video though.


Don't Make Me Download a PDF: a rant about rants


Sadly the choice for slides is between a bare PDF, slideshare and scribd. All three are awful choices imho, so... pick your poison.


We are on The Internet. There are things called Web Pages.


There's a startup opportunity: because your standard tools for producing presentations and slides does not connect at all with publishing as a web page.


The Google HTML5 template is great: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2780929.


I'm working on a fine-grained typography control JS library myself, very interesting work.

Designers/front-ends, what things would you like to control about your type now, that you can't yet?


In this way "kerning.js" doesn't seem to be the most descriptive name for this project. Everything but the first example is not related to kerning, just typography. My first thought, when I read the title of this post, was "but we already have kernjs..."


>1. Multi-tasking

If you have a keyboard attached, it's still just as easy. If you don't, you're a tablet, and you don't need it.

>2. You can’t close apps

So...like Android, OSX Lion, UNIX, etc? Why do I need to close apps?

>3. Goodbye Start menu

Thank zeus. The only reason I even glance at the Start Menu is because that's where the search bar is. Remember navigating through huge directory trees to launch an app in Win95? You want that back?

>4. It’s very hard to reboot and shut down

So what? I do that, maybe, once a week?

>5. The beautiful Start menu search is dead

What?! The (working) search bar was the single greatest improvement to the Win UI in ages. I really hope this is just an alpha thing...


Seems like an obvious FAQ would be, "How does this compare to jQuery UI?".


It appears to be more oriented toward enterprises, who'd be happy to license this just for internal web apps. You've got Grid and Chart widgets (must-haves for internal sites that show business data), but no Datepicker (a must-have for consumer-facing sites).


I'm not sure I buy that. I've been looking at moving some of our antiquated Access reports to an intranet web form, and the first thing I needed was a datepicker.


A Datepicker is currently being worked on.


Good to know. I've gotta say, the jQuery UI Datepicker is just perfect. If I use jQuery UI on a site, it's almost certainly just for the Datepicker.


or "how does it compare to jQuery Mobile?"
