Is Python Pass-By-Reference or Pass-By-Value? (No.)

Doesn't the same argument apply for using "a, b = foo()"? Since it requires the array too?

Unfortunately, I do not agree with everything there. Do I suck it up and start conforming, or continue with what I prefer?

So I tried signing up, got an activation e-mail, activated my account, then I couldn't log in to my account because apparently the password I entered was invalid. Why don't you allow special characters in the password? Please don't put an arbitrary limit on my password.

And please put the same validation on signup that you have on login, so I can't actually sign up with a faulty password. And the signup box on the frontpage looks exactly like a login box. After I reset my password because my previous was invalid, I instinctively tried login in through that box, but it failed. It took about 5 seconds to find where to login. It was really hidden in the top menu, compared to everything else which is really big.

You should look over your notification system, it doesn't fit in well with the rest of the UI design. (and I don't really need a notification saying "Created app" when I'm on the "Create app"-page)

What's the difference between the "App name" and "App release name"? It should be clearer. ... And "App title"?

Why do you need a short description and a long description, when the difference is only half in character size? (255 vs 500) I'd have assumed that the short at least be constrained to 140 or even shorter, or why not just have 1 description?

I'd just like to point at that at this stage I'm starting to get a bit confused as what appto.us really is. I signed up because it sounded like a service that would help me expose my app. I'm have a not-so-known app on the iOS App store that I'd love to give increase sales on, so it sounded perfect for me. I'm starting to get the feeling that I have misunderstood this?

Anyway, my confusion came up because when submitting an app you have to enter an "App rating". It confused me because I interpreted it as "5 stars! - that kind of rating. So I started typing "10/10 would buy again" but then I realized that it's maybe the maturity rating? I think that the individual fields on the Create app page could have some help text.

Now I'm assigning a region to my app. It's available everywhere, and I can only pick countries in the Region-picker. Does empty region = everywhere? Same thing goes for country?

The "Select currency" select box was a bit hard to navigate.

What does the Description field under the "App, Media, documents" mean when the web link option has been chosen? And if I didn't choose the Web link option, would I have to upload the binary of my game to your service? Or what do you upload? Seems a bit scary to me.

The tabs under "App, Media, documents" - have some strange mouseover tooltip on them. Looks like some sort of debug/bug thing: link to image

And under the "size" field I entered "4.5mb". It complained that it wasn't a number, but it doesn't specify if it should be in mb/kb/b/gb. It's a bit confusing. I'll just change it to 4.5 and hope that it's in megabytes.

So now I have entered everything to the best of my ability. I hit "Finish" and hope to see some green lights saying something, not sure what, since I'm not really sure what this will do. That's not at all what I see... It's saying that I can't publish it because it's in draft status and that I haven't entered all the info needed. So I click on my app and come back to the Edit app page. The red box has lots of text so I skim the page trying to see what is wrong, not red borders or anything on any fields or tabs indicating what is wrong. So luckily I read the error message and it says that I haven't uploaded an app/or added a download link. Whoa, whoa... I did do that?! I'll just to everything again then...

I enter the app store link (here), "4.5" as size and this time I put "App store" as description. I press Add, it starts loading, the loader disappears, aaand nothing happens. So I did I do it correctly this time? How should I know? I refresh the page and I still get the error. I skim through the other options and don't really see anything that could be wrong.

So I can't add a web link, it won't save it. The "App, Media and Documents" step does not feel ready in general.

... Wait! Now it worked, I just left the Size and Description field empty! Ready to publish now.

Published! Not really sure what to do now. I'll just wait then. What should I do now?

So I can't go any further with this. I would love to try it out and see how can impact my app. Please stay in touch!

tl;dr: Found bugs can't continue, read above for user feedback and insights, from someone with an app trying to upload it.

I don't see a problem using a webservice. Most of the extensions on the web store use some kind of webservice. It really depends on what you want to do, localStorage works great for simple stuff, what are you looking to create?

The persistant storage situation in Chrome kinda sucks. My extension, RSS Feed Reader, uses the SQLite storage and has for some time now, but since that is being deprecated in favor of IndexedDB I'll have to be ready to migrate when that happens.

It's because console.log doesn't convert it to a string. Try it with console.log("convert me to string: " + cards.Suit.SPADES); or console.log("" + cards.Suit.SPADES);

If you expose your data as a webservice, yes. It can do normal requests and cross domain AJAX requests, just as long as you set the correct permissions.

So it's OK if we're a company based in the EU? Many payment processors require companies from the US. If so, then I'd love to try the beta. We're in Sweden, if that makes any difference.

Any love for international companies? We're looking for a good recurring billing platform but I haven't found many good ones that support the EU.

Your headers look weird on my Mac. I assume it's because I don't have Cambria, so it's defaulting to Times New Roman. I would suggest using a nice sans-serif font for headers.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but Quicktime has built in screen recording. It can even record selected parts of the screen.

How fast did you go? Did you try to keep to the speed limit? I can imagine that it's quite tempting to go crazy on those long and empty roads.

honestbleeps · 2 months

I've been looking for something like this! I have an RSS Feed Reader extension that I'd love to port to different platforms, and this would type of thing would be the perfect fit. But what I need to get started with this is proper documentation. Any suggestions on where to start?

So how should the errors be handled? I think exceptions are great for that purpose since they force you to deal with the problem.

I love the idea! However, if you navigate on the paginated comments and click on a herp'd comment you don't get the original. Only another herp'd version. This is in Chrome.

I'm guessing it's because when you change comment page it calls DOMSubtreeModified about 150 times, and you don't check anywhere that you've already herp'd a comment. Maybe you forgot to check if a comment has the class "derped"? Edit: This turned out to be wrong. The .not('.derped') takes care of that.

Another little peeve is that this really doesn't require jQuery. It's like 30 lines of code, no edge-cases and you're only targeting modern browsers.
