I'm not much of an Apple fan, but I do have a used MBA and I have to say, the old style magsafe adapter is one of the greatest features of any laptop I've ever seen. If having a laptop that is 10mm thicker meant leaving this brilliant bit of engineering alone than it's no question to go with the thicker machine.

Not only is this a beautiful and helpful web app, but it supports many different editors instead of taking part in the text editor wars.

I was really interested to see this data until I saw that they use the BMI; possibly the dumbest and most loudly touted measure of health. According to these numbers I am overweight, heading towards obese, and I don't think any doctor on Earth would say I was overweight if they looked at me.

It's certainly not the most common method; I'm sure point-and-click is. But the kind of people who use keyboard launchers, the ones who are sounding off the loudest on their tech blogs and sites like HN and Reddit, surprise me. I'm sure the average user might be confused, but for me at least, I'll do what I do with Win7, OSX, or Ubuntu: Super + typing + Enter.

The main complaint I hear is the change of start menu behavior, but most people I know use a keyboard based launcher anyway. If you're typing the name of the thing you want does it matter if it's going into Launchy, the Win7 start menu or the Metro interface? As long as you quickly get to the app or file you want, the interaction (typing) is pretty much identical.

They DO love us. If you go to your unique Humble Bundle purchaser URL the new games are already there. Indie Devs are the best!

Any love for those of us who already bought this? I don't want to pay twice, especially considering the only other game I want that I don't already have is Super Meat Boy.

This is my first deployed web app and I'd love to get feedback on it. Code, design, idea, implementation; any constructive feedback is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I'm writing a little Sinatra app for my fiancee's birthday. It's nothing complicated, it just displays a different reason I love her each time the page loads (or you can permalink to a specific reason).
