This is just a pet peeve of mine. I don't understand why you ask "Are you sure you want to leave this page" when I click back, or try to close the tab. I am sure - that's why I tried to leave.

edit: fixed typo


Because someone accidentally closing the window would lose all game state.


Actually, it's a Backbone.js application. It uses the browserify library to load other modules, which is what the "require('blah')" bits are. this confused me too when I first read it. so essentially you can run this on a static file server like GH pages.

As far as I remember in order to get the GitHub authentication piece working you need to use an external app simply for the authentication with GitHub. DevelopmentSeed also wrote an app for this called gatekeeper (I think) which I believe is a node.js application.

impressive stuff.


Yes: https://github.com/prose/gatekeeper

I believe all the gatekeeper does is forward the oauth confirmation callback to prose so the client side app can use it.

So, anyone worried about security can run their own gatekeeper and their own prose without having to worry about the NSA (oh, wait…)


A trick one can use is to delegate github oauth to Firebase ,since it supports github authorization.


The simple answer is that Emacs has fantastic support for working with Lisp code. Have a look at this page for a more detailed explanataion: http://cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net/emacs-ide.html#Slide-2


down in Ireland also


I've noticed a strange bug with the latest version of Chrome where pages sometimes don't render. Try opening the developer tools, this usually causes the page to render for me.


I've noticed the same bug, but dev tools doesn't seem to do anything and view-source is blank. This one though seems to be a site issue:

I can't recommend Angular.js enough. I've been working with it for the past few months and find it to be really enjoyable. The docs aren't great (though getting better), but I found these tutorials pretty good for getting up and running: http://egghead.io


+1 for Martini. Spent some time looking for a decent framework like this, and was delighted when I discovered it.


It could be a hardware issue too. My graphics card doesn't support it, even though my browser should.
