This is what has me excited, too (although unfortunately we're still looking at a likely 6-8 years before relevant targets will support it too...).

This is truly incredible. I've spent the last 4 years neck deep in live video broadcasting solutions for consumer, commercial, and government use cases, and this just blew my mind.

Yeah, I think the latest and greatest in web standards for solving this problem would probably be using a Service Worker to transparently handle the failure and serve up a fallback... but like you said, that's a JavaScript-based solution.

Surprised by all the vitriol in this thread. Defold looks awesome. Maybe I just haven't tracked King closely enough in the past to have developed the community knee jerk reaction here, but this seems like a cool move.

I don't know if I would consider that a "default assumption", so much as being willing, in the absence of hard empirical data, to put some credibility into the glut of anecdotal evidence.

> they’re getting equal pay for equal equal positions, education, and experience
While those are certainly relevant control factors, I would presume that any conclusions are premature without demonstrating a lack of bias in the actual positions men vs. women are promoted to, relative to their experience and education.
I.e., large disparities in salary by gender for "Software Engineer III" within the same organization are a bit hard to overlook, whereas there are often much fuzzier criteria involved in who has that title in the first place.
Not looking to necessarily refute the article, but the control factors themselves are still rather variable.

A prime example of handjamming inconsequential happenings into a good/bad/ugly blogpost format. If this is what counts as "the ugly", they're doing pretty dang good.

That's an interesting assessment. I've actually been generally impressed with it. Loads fast, seems to be pretty intelligent about caching profile images and the like, and is generally pretty responsive (on a Galaxy S5). It is pretty handsy with the permissions, though.

There was a load error when I first clicked the link, resulting in a blank page. Was thinking "well played, punk".

So far I gather that the expressjs.com domain, the GitHub repo, and the npm module were transferred to StrongLoop's control. I don't believe that Express is actually trademarked (and likely isn't trademarkable at all, being such a common dictionary word).

Some additional info:
Note: I previously posted this to the wrong category and was advised to post here instead.
Stre.am is a free app for broadcasting live video from your phone, with an emphasis on simplicity. We previously launched the iOS version, but as an Android user myself, I'm particularly excited about getting Android out the door now as well.
The app itself is designed to be as self-explanatory as possible, but the general idea is to sign up, hit the green record button, and your video shows up on stre.am with as minimal of a delay as possible.
From a technology perspective, the mobile clients are 100% native, and the backend services use a combination of Node.js+Express (web), Java+Play (api), and Scala+Akka (video transcoding/streaming infrastructure). I'd be happy to answer any questions on that front.
Thanks for reading!

Thanks, didn't realize when I posted it that urls aren't linkified in submission text.

Thanks - do you think it's best to repost as such?
