Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.

erikflowers / Less Retina Mixin Utility Class
Last active February 22, 2019 00:37
I took this from the retina.js solution and modified it a bit. All credit goes to https://github.com/imulus/retinajs, I just tweaked this for my needs. This mixin includes most of the parameters you need, so you don't need to call them out twice. It can all be done in the mixin.
// the retina mixin. An example goes: .at2x(img/header@2x.png, 650px, 150px, top, left, no-repeat, scroll)
// Put the size that the image appears on a non-retina, e.g. if it's a 200px x 200px non-retina, that is the effective size. The @2x 400px x 400px is calculated automatically. The order to type it is width then height.
// A modification of the retina.js less mixin - https://github.com/imulus/retinajs
@highdpi: ~"(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5), (min--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5), (-o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3/2), (min-resolution: 1.5dppx)";
.at2x(@path, @w: auto, @h: auto, @xpos: 0, @ypos: 0, @repeat: no-repeat, @attachment: scroll) {
background-image: url(@path);
background-position: @xpos @ypos;
background-repeat: @repeat;

Bower logo

In addition to awesome docs #228, Bower deserves a proper logo. See below for sketches. I'm curious if you think any of these are worth me putting more effort into.

Take a look at Yeoman right now.

The other two entities have awesome logos. Bower's got to represent.

Read JSON from standard input and writes formatted JSON to standard output. Requires Node.js.
#!/usr/bin/env node
// Reads JSON from stdin and writes equivalent
// nicely-formatted JSON to stdout.
var stdin = process.stdin,
stdout = process.stdout,
inputChunks = [];
stdin.resume();

Limit the frame-rate being targeted with requestAnimationFrame
/*
limitLoop.js - limit the frame-rate when using requestAnimation frame
Released under an MIT license.
When to use it?
----------------
A consistent frame-rate can be better than a janky experience only
occasionally hitting 60fps. Use this trick to target a specific frame-
rate (e.g 30fps, 48fps) until browsers better tackle this problem

performance.now() polyfill (aka perf.now())
// @license http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT
// copyright Paul Irish 2015
// Date.now() is supported everywhere except IE8. For IE8 we use the Date.now polyfill
// github.com/Financial-Times/polyfill-service/blob/master/polyfills/Date.now/polyfill.js
// as Safari 6 doesn't have support for NavigationTiming, we use a Date.now() timestamp for relative values
// if you want values similar to what you'd get with real perf.now, place this towards the head of the page
// but in reality, you're just getting the delta between now() calls, so it's not terribly important where it's placed

Usability Checklist

User Experience

  • Personalized features. Currency, language, country specific deals, taxes, or delivery options are changed based on user's location.
  • Registering provides value to users. For example a "Free Trial" button communicates a clear benefit, but a "Register" button doesn't. Unnecessary registration is avoided.
