Get the share counts from various APIs

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

Tinder API Documentation

Tinder API documentation

Note: this was written in April/May 2014 and the API may has definitely changed since. I have nothing to do with Tinder, nor its API, and I do not offer any support for anything you may build on top of this. Proceed with caution

http://rsty.org/

I've sniffed most of the Tinder API to see how it works. You can use this to create bots (etc) very trivially. Some example python bot code is here -> https://gist.github.com/rtt/5a2e0cfa638c938cca59 (horribly quick and dirty, you've been warned!)

GitHub Standard Fork & Pull Request Workflow

Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.

Creating a Fork

Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git client to clone your repo or j

Meteor minimongo: Insert and Remove in bulk using an array
/*
These two functions provide a simple extra minimongo functionality to add and remove documents in bulk,
without unnecessary re-renders.
The process is simple. It will add the documents to the collections "_map" and only the last item will be inserted properly
to cause reactive dependencies to re-run.

A soft-fullscreen prompt for iOS7+

A soft-fullscreen prompt for iOS7+

Background

iOS 7.0 and iOS 8 (Beta) do not have support for minimal-ui viewport keyword, nor do they response to window.slideTo(0,1) or support Fullscreen API, which means there is no easy way to tell Mobile Safari to hide address bar/menu without user interaction.

This is a problem for Web App that mimics Native App design, where html/body are commonly set to height: 100%, so browser viewport = available screen estate. There are currently no solution besides adding apple-mobile-web-app-capable meta and ask users to manually Save to Homescreen.

Frustrated by this limit, we present a soft-fullscreen prompt design, which, coupled with proper CSS hack, can achieve soft-fullscreen with relatively small effort from users.
