Hi HN - have been working on this small Sass library which helps you create keyframe-based animations. It's finally at a point where I think it could be useful to others.

Basically the idea is you model your animations as Sass maps and then you can use a few mixin to compose the pieces of your animation together.

Any feedback is appreciated.

two kinds of mindsets can be distinguished:

hacker mindest and consumer mindset.

buying an old ibm thinkpad (to install linux) is hacker mindset. buying a windows laptop is consumer mindset. buying a macbook (in the case of an end-user) is consumer mindset. buying a macbook (in the case of a developer -- for the reason that is *nix based) is the consumeristic hacker mindset.

i can see how someone buying a macbook sees themself as getting the best of both worlds.

ofcourse macbooks are more popular than vintage thinkpads in our "developer" culture.

a parallel: there is more pop than anti-pop in the music industry.

consumers.

coherent, but not sensible. seemed like not much more than far-fetched idealism.

i simply cannot envision a kind of society where information would not be free and in a "protected" or isolated sort of state as he wishes. i have not dug into his philosophy deeply, however, i cannot comprehend how you would prevent information "looting".

maybe in a society of free of hackers...

Been developing this interface for a while. Would love any feedback and input into what could make it better.

Interesting project but what's the advantage of using this over YQL?

I wasn't familiar with that use of YQL. Thanks.

It's a shotgun api, within 5min I can get any site just by calling a url, using jquery-type selectors. I think that's pretty cool. No sql-like syntax.

WebOS is a great product, but over the years the team at Palm and HP lead by Rubinstein have failed to fix it's core operational problems - mainly it's sluggishness and bugs. Why have those two factors been so neglected?

The resulting operating system has a great design (and very few will detest that) but fails in operational every day use due to a sub-par user experience due to lag.

I'd love to see WebOS live on. Hopefully this management change isn't too late in the game and the new guy in charge of WebOS realizes it's problems.

Have you used a Pre 2?

Mine doesn't lag at all. It's a night and day difference compared to the original Pre/+, especially if you install the 'smooth scrolling' patch from Preware.
