NYC or REMOTE http://TanookiLabs.com/iOS

iOS developers needed at our fast-growing Rails & iOS consultancy. We need full-time people, as well as part-time freelancers who want to build their own projects while working with us.

Why we're different:

- We focus on entrepreneurs and products, and are picky about our clients. Our goal is to learn from everyone we work with.

- We reject that idea that a shop needs to be a mill. We work 35hrs/week. A common refrain is "why are you still here? go home!"

- We're developers ourselves. We founded this thing because we love building.

- We believe that we win when our employees win, and codify that in great pay and serious profit sharing. When someone tries to steal you away to work on their new idea, I want you to smile and say "I can't, my gig's too sweet"

Navigational search definitely has a lot to do with the graph. I don't think that's computer illiteracy, though. That's just how the normals use the internet ;) We techies are the fringe.

I see the navigational search as an indication of mainstream adoption.


"navigational search"... I like that


drop.io, Brooklyn, NY.

Most of our stack is in Ruby - always looking for good front-end hackers as well. Especially if you like clouds, you might be into what we're cooking up. Check out http://drop.io/jobs, http://dev.drop.io, or stalk us here: http://twitter.com/ChrisRicca/drop-io


nearly forgot - I'm chris@dropio.com


i got stood up twice by the founder of drop.io who never showed up to two separate meetings he setup.

really awesome to have to pay $20 you don't have for a taxi to meet the companies founder and then have them not show up, twice.

i would highly advise against applying


http://pdf-render.heroku.com/ - here's hello world in Sinatra with prawn, to give you a sense of how fun it is to use :)

require 'rubygems' require 'sinatra' require 'prawn'

get '/' do "<h1>This is a simple pdf rendering webservice. GET <a href='/hello%20world.pdf'>/hello%20world.pdf</a> to get a pdf back!</h1>" end

get '/*' do content_type('application/pdf') headers['Cache-Control'] = "public, max-age=6000000000000000000"

  pdf = Prawn::Document.new
  pdf.text(params[:splat][0].gsub(/.pdf\z/,''))
  pdf.render
end

Anecdotally, I had the same experience as well. I usually have t61 on most of the day (including the first day I ever used the old interface). I purposefully didn't use http://old.thesixtyone.com/, to see if using the new interface stuck. It didn't.


For those of you who haven't used the site before, the old version is at http://old.thesixtyone.com/ for you to explore.

Yup, although the option is grey-ed out on my machine ATM, and I couldn't tell you why...

I've used it before, though


I have yet to find a browser with full screen support on OS X - which makes me think it's an OS X limitation.. So odd.. When you have a 13 inch macbook this problem becomes readily apparent.


Gray-ed out on mine too. Does anyone know why? This would definitely be nice to have.


If you want custom themes beyond what Google provides, I'm hawking a tool a hacked together a couple of weekends ago. It's a just-for-fun thing so the UI is pretty sparse, but it works! :)

I'm a big fan of Chrome. Favorite features include the speed, full-screen browsing, detachable tabs. Needs a robust extension for CSS inspection/manipulation, though. Built in one doesn't quite flow as well as Firebug. Decent JS console.

I can't believe, >30 min out, that this is still open
