I'm going to steal your quote too, if I can remember it ;)


The video shows Mark explaining to Sally how a Facebook login would work on her website with the whiteboard.

A killer missing feature seems to be microphone support, which the video alludes to.


A similar site I built (http://stoodle.org) supports free group voice conferencing through Twilio.


Looking at all the feature requests here I can't help but think that you guys are reinventing TeamSpeak. The only difference I see is that with TeamSpeak you first must install a client whereas this runs in a browser.


Actually, there are lots of other online whiteboards that have all of these features without requiring a download or plugin.


It's easy to add audio via skype/facetime/you-name-it though.


>> It's easy to add audio via skype/facetime/you-name-it though.

Really? I don't think running another app to get audio is a very user friendly solution, and you'll never be able to record a session. How about Opus and webRTC or similar?


Its critical to integrate all this - else every meeting begins with a struggle to get on the same page with every app and every participant.

I think it's better standalone. I already have a hundred ways to voice chat.


That's the problem - are they the same ways everyone in your meeting uses? How much time is wasted on each 'conference call' working out who's there, who has the number, where's Bob!


I would like to see npm become a more generic solution for package management in all languages.


I wouldn't. Most of the languages I use already have far superior solutions for package management.


Examples (genuinely curious)? In my casual experience, it seems to be easier to use than gems or pip and has much larger ecosystem than anything else I have tried, which is the #1 selling point of a package manager IMHO. A good package manager (by my standards) should have:

1. super easy publishing 2. A package for practically everything you can think of and if not, see #1 3. Most of the market share for its particular language so that you can be reasonably sure a particular module maintainer has an up to date package

Does anyone want to buy one for me and ship it to the UK? I'll make it worth your while...

I like the implementation but I don't like that it has a brand (Mozilla) attached to it.

Stripe is doing this right, when you make a payment on a website you have no idea that you're using Stripe.


I won't put credit card details into a site unless I have some trust in the system they're using. The lack of a brand isn't necessarily a good thing here.

In any case, the brand is for marketing to developers right now -- once "Persona" becomes a thing in and of itself, this will be a nonissue.


Agree, i'm dying to have a play with this but I begrudge paying 200 bucks before I even know if I like it! Maybe they should allow you to develop your entire app for free but put some sort of kill switch inside which makes it fail to pass app store validation or w/e.


I think you should see it as an early adopter fee. I bet if more people use RubyMotion, Laurent is going to drop the price.

I bought RubyMotion short after the release and i can say it's really worth the price. If you love Ruby and you love iOS, buy a licence.


The default behaviour for todo should be to print the todo list and not help.


Very interested in hearing about your experiences developing a desktop app with node.js.
