Ok. Don't be angry on me. I am just starting out with writing code that someone other than me see.

So you stopped reading an article because the guy does not use your preferred operating system then justify your bias from comments that (at the time of your posting at least) have no evidence that the article is "lame".

Well done.

There is a lot of oldschool guys who are very professional developers in their fields, but who are reluctant to change their OS. I don't think the latter is good or wise, but they are still very knowledgeable in their field. E.g. it's not uncommon to see an embedded Linux developer who uses Windows as his desktop OS.

NSA trying to make a mess with TOR with all americans as their zombies? It is funny to see what american government is doing with its citizens. And with rest of the world. First they create terrorism, and then they"solve" it.

Nice. Even if it's not the NSA, I'm surprised people aren't curious about who it is that's running these bot nets.

I suggest google employees should write "work for google" everywhere they comment or blog or say something about google projects. I bet half of the hype will just go away then

How about discussing on merit, not finger pointing? (not a Google employee)

Here's the question paper of subject 'Web Administration' by my university (Punjab Technical University) for Software Engineering Undergrads. I still can't reason out the level of stupidity my eyes see in this, or the logic that how can an 'engineer' come up with such loose end noobish questions. My eyes bleed.

My experience with Angular.js was not that good though. May be I am real dumb, I can't see anyone with similar experience. I was totally frustrated with the amount of things I had to handle to bind my backend API. And also there were several issues like $scope.variables going wild. In short, it was a total mess in my case. I rather decided to roll out with Jquery instead. The code got totally cluttered I accept, but Angular.js frustrated to the point that 'elegant code' was least of my concerns, I just wanted to finish it somehow and run away and never look back.

Were you mixing dom manipulation into your controllers? That can make things go haywire because they happen outside the standard compile and link phase. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Using the directives (which I admit are super confusing at first) can alleviate this issue because they are executed in the normal Angular update cycle so everything happens in the correct order.

Isn't it a bit aged? Do it have all the new features? I don't think it support CSS abbreviations. I wish someone maintain the new and updated emmet/zen-coding for Emacs.

It's about a year old but still very dependable. I still use it daily. For what it's worth, Emmet is too bulky. Can you really remember all the things on the cheatsheet without looking them up? I don't think so. Zen Coding is just big enough that I can fit everything inside my head, so I'll stick to it.

Someone please make me understand why this end up on first page on HN. I saw similar apps many times earlier here. What's the big deal? Why not regular editor in some 'guru' distraction free mode? For instance Sublime Text can do that (including autosave and quick startup).

It's a weekend, and different things get to the front page on weekends.

I like to think that most "Show HN" posts make it to the front page, but I realise that's probably not true.

Everyone's big deal is different.

"I made this" is always welcome here.

I personally found this interesting because the app looks fun, it makes sounds, and it demonstrates some aspects of modern JavaScript that I have got out of date on. I could put the app up on a projector in class and students would find it amusing.

Yes, I shall continue to use Gedit for writing Web page text, which I can then run through markdown.
