Great call out - there's a "mini resolve-conflicts" tool you can open, and there's the classic +/- text-based git patch diff view at the bottom right (if you expand it; but this is only useful for small changes).

Im torn on if I want to add a full "diff tool" into this - or if i should figure out how to integrate (open in) existing "best of breed" diff tools. Leaning towards the latter to keep the app simple and good at its core job. I might explore using the resolve conflict view for diff though (since it ~already shows diffs in order to resolve conflicts).

Appreciate the feedback, hope you enjoy using TinyGit and keep an eye out for updates!

IME there are two main challenges

1) Pre-launch: Finding the time while working to create your SaaS (prior to go launch).

2) Post-launch: Ensuring you have the time to support your customers, and resolve issues in a timely manner. (Paying) customers come with the extra responsibility of taking care of them.

The latter can be much harder to manage since you need to react quickly and not push it off until when you have time.

http://sixteencolors.net/ is another great archive for ANSi art.

The art scene in the mid 90s was an interesting, vibrant, microcosm, moving from BBS's to IRC over the course of a few years.

Came here to say this -- thought, I wonder how much our view of the homeless in America is skewed by the "visible homeless" we see, day to day, living on the streets.

Anecdotally, an overwhelming number of the "visible homeless" in America have mental illness or at least behave in a unemployable manner.

I imagine there is another (larger?) slice of homeless that live in shelters/elsewhere and are less obvious and could function "normally" in society given the means.

Yes, the larger slice of homeless is usually invisible. It typically includes families. And they're typically homeless for less than a year.

The 'visible' homeless are typically chronically homeless, and have been for decades.

Disclaimer: I work for Adobe.

Not only does it fit most of the criteria youve listed, Adobe technical leadership is becoming infused with alot of new blood since the acquisition of Day. Technologies like Apache Jackrabbit/Oak, Apache Sling, Apache Cordova/Phonegap are becoming integral pieces of Adobe's go to market on the DMS (Digital Marketing side - which is the lesser known enterprise offering side opposite the Creative Cloud/Creative Suite products).

It may be an big, "old" tech company, that gets a bit of grief for stale technologies like Flash, but IMO theyre moving in the right (and interesting) direction as quickly as their internal structures and market offerings allow.

Nice to hear that they are having a positive impact. Sling is one of the most compelling pieces of software that I've worked with in a long time. It's odd that AEM/CQ5 being as big and as disruptive as it is, doesn't get any play here in HN

The more I look into Adobe, it seems to be a great company, but whats with the whole November layoffs I read about on glassdoor.com?

As an ex-hackintosher im always thrilled to see people pull great stories like this off! I gave up on rolling my own due to the small irritations (system error when my logic mouse's USB dongle was removed) and the upgrade-paralysis; Every new rev of OS X would met w trepidation as a carved out a weekend "just in case". Either way, I hit a point where investing in an MBA was more economical... Now I can get by with a MBA; if we're talking about a MacPro then the value trade off might still be there :)

Don't forget VirtualBox; IMO it beats out the competing commercial products

VMware Fusion is much faster than VirtualBox: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=vmware_vi...

Not sure what you mean by "much" faster. Most of the benchmarks have fractional differences. I think comparing an Apple only, commercial program, to a free and open source multi-platform program, VirtualBox would "win" for a lot of people, because it's not just about benchmarks.

> And what's the point of comparing the performance of an Apple only, commercial program, to a free and open source multi-platform program.

If I have a Mac and need to virtualize things, 'free and open source' doesn't really matter.

Also, don't forget that USB 2.0 support is closed source and subject to a special license.

Neat idea, but I dont like the concept. The animations instinctively make me think some action is occurring, which isn't.

I think those would be better served to indicate the processing of an action, like the pin wheel/hour glass of old.

A link to a portfolio site would go a long ways.

Quicksilver is probably more powerful, but Alfred (to me) seems much simpler and there's a lower barrier to entry.

Where with QS I had to "think" whenever I used it, Alfred's interface, in the parlance of apple, "just works".

Really? Quicksilver has always felt like a natural extension of my brain. Then again I've never tried Alfred, so maybe I just don't know what I'm missing.
