Love the Wunderlist sound! Check out this sound design study about it:

Would recommend joining the Design Systems Slack [1] and attending the Clarity conference [2] to meet like-minded folks!

Congrats, Bill and Rich! Seeing the API's success makes me incredibly happy.

It removes the first space and adds a period instead.

Really well done. I'd love to see one of these teaching the CSS animations they use.

I didn't create it, but Pinboard (https://pinboard.in/) is a great example of a successful one person business.
Founder Maciej Cegłowski wrote about it here: https://static.pinboard.in/xoxo_talk_thoreau.htm

Thanks! I'm aware of Harvey but is there anyway to configure a domain name? Feel free to reach out at [email protected].

Good point.
I replied to kendalk and mentioned that forming teams and having competitions might be overwhelming in the beginning, but maybe it makes sense to two individual semester semester-long prizes for a CS major and non-CS major that build the coolest product.

Thanks Kendal!
I think we'll probably have them start on Ruby since we have a few students that can teach it and have experience in RoR.
> Perhaps you could set up teams that could compete with each other through a series of programming challenges?
I like the idea but I think students might find this to be too much in the beginning. Especially when CS majors are competing with non-CS majors.
Maybe a better option is to promote the Binghamton hackathon from early on and offer prizes/competition for the groups that entered without experience.
> You could find a local business who would sponsor a prize, or a restaurant that would offer a dinner for the winning team.
I definitely want to keep it as local as possible and even have a few community members signed up.
> Be sure to post updates on your group's website.
I'd recommend following the progress on Twitter and GitHub:

Thanks for all the advice and feel free to reach out by email (it's on my profile).

I do like the idea but I'm worried that people would lose interest if we spent too much time on code I wrote.
I think there is value in that though and might incorporate some personal projects and existing into the lecture.

I'd love to teach Git and Github but I think that'll a bit complicated for the non-CS majors.
And I like the web hosting idea. Who are the non-evil web hosts and registrar's nowadays?
Do you think we should just go with one and encourage them to FTP everything?
