Jamie, I am getting about 10 errors a second in my console:

  Uncaught TypeError: Object sufio._xdWatchInFlight(); has no method 'apply' reader-29b4dd587f1ca6b5f0d639aac64ce9bf.js:1 e.(anonymous function) reader-29b4dd587f1ca6b5f0d639aac64ce9bf.js:1

Pretty print the error location from chrome:

  e.setInterval = function() {
        var e = t.call(arguments, 0), n = e[0];
        return e[0] = function() {
            try {
                n.apply(this, arguments)
  Uncaught TypeError: Object sufio._xdWatchInFlight(); has no method 'apply' (repeated 1589 times)
            } catch (e) {
                throw TraceKit.report(e), e
            }
        }, r.apply(this, e)
    }

The proxy at my work doesn't allow web sockets, and I think this might be related.

Also, I noticed that there are at least 3 different third party services being called (superfish, pusherapp and intercom). All of these are ancillary to the main functionality, right?

I haven't even got my feeds imported yet, and the app is already pulling down 2 MB. superfish in particular is super heavy. I think I would prefer a lighter payload.

Superfish? I'm not even using superfish. Intercom is so users can contact me and pusher is so I can push you new entries without requiring a reload.

yikes. It was a browser extension that uses superfish to inject ads. the extension allows you to disable this feature, but it still pulls in superfish. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/orbvious-interest/...

I removed the extension and the payload is more like 1MB. Still seems hefty but not as much of a concern to me.

I also noticed that content wasn't gzipped. should be a simple matter to add that to nginx.

Good catch, will do!

What Pusher plan are you subscribed to and how's that working out considering the spike in traffic/simultaneous users?

the credit card information is transmitted to stripe over SSL. It looks fine.

I checked and the strip communication is done ajax style through https. I don't see a problem.

This is true. Also, you should be redirected to https when you go to /account if things are working how they're intended. I don't run the full thing through SSL quite yet, because I pull in content from lots of different sources (images, for example), and that would cause SSL warnings.

I have something in mind for this, but haven't gotten around to implementing it yet. Full SSL is coming.

FYI, Camo might be useful for this:

There's also a Go (golang) port:

I'm currently using go-camo in my own feed reader and have experienced some flakiness (images fail to load sometimes).

(Also, nice work!)

Richardson TX - Engineer For Test at Tradestation Technologies

We're looking for someone to come in and work our application over. The ideal candidate will have a passion for quality software, and will be intimately familiar with browser applications. They will be responsible for manual testing, automated testing, maintaining and improving the CI process, and helping out with development when needed.

This position is on a scrum team in a team room.

we use javascript, node, grunt, mocha, webstorm/intellij, git, teamcity, and we're targeting chrome/firefox/IE 10+ (no legacy browser support).

pm me if interested.

we have some other open positions here: https://github.com/luv2code/OpenPositions

I'm pretty sure i/o bound go routines will use the very same kernel eventing mechanism. I looked into this recently, and you have to explicitly tell it to use more than one thread with http://golang.org/pkg/runtime/#GOMAXPROCS

Exactly.

it actually has a plethora of ports, they're just all in that one 50 pin header. GPIO, SPI, I2C, UART, etc...

Thanks for point that out. I honestly thought it had IDE, and seeing that, even now, new MBs ship with LPT and serial it wouldn't be out of place.

I use http://www.ihackernews.com on my phone. it works great.

Can someone explain what is great about flipboard. The flip animation is cool the first couple of times you see it; but then it gets annoying quickly. I can't see any value in the app that would make putting up with the excessive animations worth it.

i like it simply because i can have all my feeds in one place. i don't mind the flipping and it's not really an issue on the ipad.

Score: 75/75 (100.00%)

Looking at the source in a programming challenge is still winning, right?

My wife was in the same position. She found some work pretty quickly networking at startup meetups. She ended overseeing a technical project, and doing some lite database work. She had a few opportunities; but picked the one that had the fewest hours.

If she has some skills, or can even pretend to have them, there are people that are desperate to give work to other people they meet at meetups.
