There's another Vimeo alternative at https://framerate.tv - not sure which came first!



Looking good! Completely different products though.


What is it? The page is vague to the point of uselessness.


If you have a Kobo, it has built in Pocket integration and sync out of the box


I find the design of Chrome to be nicer in general. Feels like there's less going on.


I just installed it on my Air, and it seems a lot smoother than Helvetica ever was. YMMV though


At first glance, they look very similar. However, in use there's a big difference between the two.

San Francisco is squarer which makes its x-height seem higher. The minor variations in lettering make a massive difference when used in application.

100% not a knockoff of Roboto. They're really, really different.


Agreed. I'd also be very surprised if Snapsave was routing user traffic through their servers. Apps like 6snap connect directly to Snapchat and everything works fine... so storing images on their own servers shouldn't be necessary.


Yeah, would have loved to have something for all platforms... Haven't used Linux in a long time so I'll admit I'm unfamiliar with it all. Did try to do some research but couldn't find a solution that would cover all distros.

Next year, with more time, I'll try and add something there!


> but couldn't find a solution that would cover all distros.

For your purposes, it would be fine to post something that works on Ubuntu as long as you can verify that it's not Ubuntu-only (if it's open source and works on at least two distros, chances are it works on any distro)[0].

[0] Heck, even most things that are made for Ubuntu work on other distros with minimal modification - it's just a matter of convenience.


Updated the site a couple of hours ago with Ubuntu instructions, thanks to our German translator


Hm, really? No such issues here. Could it the transform-3D SVG animation on page load?


I am not sure. I am on Linux and nvidia binary drivers. I have seen a fair share of problems, especially webgl based pages eating away CPU, or new tabs eating CPU cycles until they become active for the first time.

This is the first time though I believe that I saw a site eating GPU cycles and this is why I mentioned it.


Check the site. No sponsors/offers this year and we've taken steps to avoid what happened last time - our brand/logo is released under a loose Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs, and the content on the site is pretty much all Creative Commons.

We've got the Attribution/NonCommercial stuff in the logo license to protect against sites implying that we approve of what they're selling. We just want businesses using the logo FOR PROFIT to state that we don't endorse or promote their product. Everything else is free reign!

We definitely never intended to trademark/restrict the use of the term. We just got a bit over-enthusiastic with the legal side of things - now we're trying to put trust in the community instead (which, admittedly, should have happened in the first place).

If none of this makes sense, I'd be happy to explain it further


My bad. Should've picked that up, all fixed now
