+1 for mattkrea's comments. Sublime still wins, hands down, with it's ability to open many files, as well as large files, without slowing down.


Until Atom can open multiple large files without slowdown, or very large files without just crashing, I don't see it as being a threat to Sublime.

They are definitely doing some great stuff with Atom for a free product; Sublime will maintain it's value as a paid product until there is full parity of features.


I would trust the fairness of the polling system even less than I do, now.


"Twitter Firehose for iPhone" is really a misnomer. There is no way that this is a true implementation of a realtime feed of the full Twitter data stream...


Hi atom-x, thanks for your interest!

It actually really is what the title says: you can have a look at the public Twitter Streaming API here [1].

Obviously you won't receive 100% of Twitter's Tweets (I dare any iPhone to receive every Tweet that contains the character 'o' in real time, for example) but as many Tweets as Twitter Servers decide to send you (depending on multiple factors, not publicly known, but I guess your connection speed is one).

Also you won't receive 100% of the Tweets because you have to pay Twitter for that service. Still, you'll get plenty of new Tweets live: just give it a try! It's quite cool to see it in action [2].

I'm happy to answer to any other of your concerns :)

Agreed, especially due to the inane way that the site's designers decided to covert vertical scrolling to sideways scrolling.

From what I see, the Moments tab is still Live.


The page 404s on desktop, and I saw the icon disappear from the Android app.


Nope, working on desktop, mobile chrome, and mobile iOS app, here.


Check the mobile app.


Maybe just Android, or maybe just certain geo locations?


Can't tell for sure, but there's an odd behavior that might have something to do with the type of connection the client is on.


Only $900? My partner and I are both under the age of 50 had to pay over $1200/mo this year for a personal plan with BCBS without ridiculous deductibles. This was an increase from ~$1100/mo from just 6 mos ago.


Using this demo makes me want to not use React.


How about the enthusiasts that build their own drones from parts?
