Yup, similar to SQRL, and here are implementations of it...

https://www.grc.com/sqrl/implementations.htm

Wordpress, Android, .Net Client, Node, PHP, Ruby, Windows Phone, and Haskell. Unfortunately, having people download an app to login to your website kind of ups the bar a little. Still, they can just scan the code with their phone as well.

Got it. So you couldn't do a view where you could see the horizon or anything due to the performance fixes. The scrolling wouldn't quite work out. It's interesting, I never thought to do it that way. I suppose you could do like spherical deformation postprocessing if you wanted to make this like tiny planets, but then the problem is that the sides wouldn't correctly show perspective. Anyway, it looks great.

Why is it isometric when you are using voxels? I see the lighting is accurate, so why the limitation?

Yeah, this guy makes no sense. Let's throw away our personal life for more work. He brands himself as a 'personal branding expert' yet you can't find any links to what this guy actually did, or what his history is. He mentions his sister, yet never mentions her name. I have no idea of this is a kid who grew up in Chicago in squallor, or grew up rich in New York. On LinkedIn he says he went to Babson College in MA. At this point I think he's doing a bad job honestly.

The API has comment support, I'd love to see that. However as of now it's read-only. To make it read-write you'd need to fully integrate firebase. This is just a firebase mirror of the data. Discussion forums with threaded comments don't really make sense for realtime updates. I don't think they have Windowing functions either, so you'd get only the latest x comments or the best x comments, and you couldn't "get more".

you should check out onetab. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onetab/chphlpgkkbo...

it closes all your tabs, gives them to you in a single tab for you to save, open all, or open one at a time. pinned tabs can be saved.

Not quite, row layout gives too much white space between items. I would prefer columnar layout. It's like row layout but vertical.

Oh, and this should be delivered over SSL... but I'm sure that's in the works.

Ah, and even though I can drag notes around to sort of order them, in my 21 notes example, doing that re-arranges notes that I already ordered, so that's a useless feature.

I was looking at this because I want to make something similar. I've been looking for the software I want for the last ten years, and nothing comes close to the image in my head as to what software can do. So, I'll explain what I want.

I want something similar to this, which will replace email. It doesn't necessarily have to replace email, but it will accept emails and you can send emails out of it. The idea being that email will manage the projects. I'll explain. You create an email to people. You tag it as 'project' and it will create a new project, a distribution list, and automatically give the project a name (based on the subject). Any files emailed between you and others in that project via email will automatically be added to your project's workspace. Appointments set will be assigned to the project, and each appointment occurrence will have notes that you can keep for that occurrence. Tasks can be created for projects as well, and people can be assigned those tasks, and get email reminders.

With those features, if I don't recall what happened in the last meeting, or some client is asking about a file that I supposedly received, I don't have to go looking around trying to find which email on which day it was, as I'll have all project's emails together.

Once a project is finished, then emails between people in that project won't automatically be categorized, but there will be 'suggested' categories.

-- that said, this is nice, however, I can't figure out the ordering here, it appears there is none. Here's a simple test. Add 21 new notes. Just 1 enter enter 2 enter enter... it appears that the new notes are added to the left and that pushes everything else to the right, except when it comes to the extreme right and then it pushes that one all the way to the left and down one. That's an easy way to do it, but it's not easy to read. People are used to reading newspapers, Newspapers have a columnar format, and you read your columns. Classified ads are vertical columns as well, and if you are looking for something you look vertically within the categories. This on the other hand is horizontal categories, which is very confusing, especially since the category something is in is related to what's left of it, and how large that left thing is... in the example I give, you notice now 1,2,3 are from right to left on the bottom. Then 4 is slightly higher than those, on the very left. and then go right again, 5,6,7 all good, and 8 is once again higher... continue on until you get to sixteen, and now it all looks nice and tidy. Now edit 14 to say "14 this is a much longer note just as a test to see what happens with the columns". Now the whole thing looks like a mess.

tldr; use vertical columns to make the output predictable. People are used to spacial relation, so changing that because the content of one cell changes, makes the spatial relationship memory useless.

I used to binge occasionally, and used to regularly drink. I met a woman who doesn't drink, so I decided that I wouldn't either. I've had a few drinks since then, mostly in her presence and usually not more than one. I can say that I quit four years ago, but the last drink I had was about 8 months ago. Yea people think I'm weird if I tell them I don't drink, but I really don't care. And after I quit I was amazed at the amount of advertising for drinking is in everyday life, and how embedded it is into american culture. I don't miss waking up with a hangover.

poor grammar instruction in school. A space is normally after a period even in russian.

If you are using Python, you should use the standard 'random.shuffle' which does use the Fisher-Yates algorithm.

So they got rid of you because you had an equity stake? And by giving up your equity they could keep the money for themselves... yea, you got screwed.

Females only make up about 10% of the CS program enrollees, I highly doubt the females in this list are as good as their male counterparts. 5 out of 100 is good, you are getting only the top 5% though. 5 out of 1000 is better, since you are taking that top 5% and taking the top 10% of that.
