This looks to be damn cool. Looking at the docs[1][2] it's now possible to create a Spotify remote control (e.g. control PC from a phone) using the native client. Thinking about it, it's probably also possible to sync two Spotify players on different computers, although they would have to be using different accounts...
It would have been nice if the manifest.json used the Chrome extensions format rather than creating yet another one, but otherwise the developers should be congratulated on using plenty of HTML5 stuff, and what also looks like CommonJS modules.
I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of this!

I guess you're in the US, Canada or Brazil, because Rdio isn't available anywhere else. But Spotify is, and is doing well.

Agree with all of these points, especially the condensed-at-first display.
I would also like it if the search box was in the fixed header, so I don't have to scroll back to the top to re-search.
Otherwise nice tool!

I really liked #4, the juxtaposition of the relaxing site and "vulgar" cursing made me laugh out loud, and feel more relaxed.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is the quality of the video. The length, dynamism and content were all perfect! Nice one.

I've never used Gowalla, but I've seen a lot of complaints on Twitter that peoples' "stuff" has disappeared. What's happened there?

What is this? A blog with a terrible UI? A presentation? I have no idea what is going on.

It would be really good to get some Selenium tests written up for them as well so that we know they all, and all future ones, behave the same. I might do this if I get a bit of spare time.

It's two squares, each with three rounded corners and one point, rotated +/- 45 degrees to point at each other.

For the Hacker_News article there seems to be a peak every Tuesday in July (and to some extent May). I wonder why?

So the differences between this and Javascript that I can see are:
* ^ replacing function
* default values for arguments, ^(x: 4){...}
* print instead of console.log
* array slicing x[1:3], x[:-2]
* embedded HTML, div = <div/>
Edit: like beaumartinez says, the Github page explains the differences much better than the site: https://github.com/rsms/move

Looks very interesting, it would be great if you could put a video of the app in action on that page. I don't have a Mac so I can't try it out myself.

After seeing the demo I thought this was being done in canvas, but no, it's actually using css transforms applied to DOM elements. SVG is far more suited to this task.
Also despite it's vector look, all of the lines are in fact pngs http://wwwimages.adobe.com/labs.adobe.com/cdn/technologies/e... . Disappointing.
