so are the first 4 hours the most important? or very important?


Let's say that the way the project starts is important. How long really depends on the campaign duration. After 4 hours on average, the accuracy is 76%, meaning that you can tell quite accurately pretty early. We focus on early predictions because this is when they are helpful, i.e. the creator has time to react. We have very high accuracy near the end, but this does not help so much...


disagree

the db is sqlite by default, and its stored in content/ with your themes and other stuff (?)

so you just backup your content directory ;d


been using this for a while

things i've noticed so far (.3.0):

- no dash yet

- no view posts by category feature

- no list top 10 most recent posts

- kind of confusing or redundant mvc abstraction

i hacked up a view posts by category and a template swap by hostURL in a few hours but the code is really abstracted. it will probably make sense later when all the features are implemented though.

good:

- easy to install

- love the editor

- love the admin

- templates are handlebars and easy

i've been following this for ~6 months now and am stoked to use it. congrats on your release. can we please have a CMS style feature were we can edit some static pages to go into our blogs! PLZ!


Hey ... I've been playing with Ghost now for a few hours and wondering if you've gotten any new templates set up, or have tips for template tweaking? I'm a newcomer to bourbon and sass ..


yea ive made a few templates

i recommend just copything the casper folder and renaming it. (content/themes/casper)

make your own stylesheet and comment theirs out (it, styles, everything). theirs is screen.css.

you can comment out the ghost included {{body_class}} and {{ghost_foot}} by changing them to {{!body_class}} and {{!ghost_foot}}

after that its just 3 files, default.hbs which is a global template (so its like the html head body tags), and then they insert the body at {{body}}

the body comes from index.hbs or post.hbs, which will be index.hbs: 6 article summaries in a list with a page at the bottom. and post.hbs which will just show 1 post.

the data in the post and index hbs files (handlebars templates) has stuff like {{eachpost}} {{post}} which is all you really have to keep out of those files


Looking at the client side code makes me wonder why people would ever use Backbone. It's so abstracted, mixes DOM manipulation into views. I should re-write it with Angular! :)


maybe hes just doing what hes good at, thats what most people end up doing.


I would be curious how to achieve similar or better results on other distros, particularly ubuntu.


At this point, I don’t think that the distro matters much, as there is quite exactly nothing there except for the kernel, udev and the very first steps of startup.


There's the famous "5 second boot" for Fedora on an EEE PC 701. That's a weak machine with a small, old, SSD. It's an "honest" boot time - from power on to desktop up with idle CPU and disk.

Here's an article trimming boot time of Fedora 17 to 3 seconds.

There's some overlap between the two different approaches.

If you wanted some esoteric hardware you could make an always powered RAM disc.


coincidentally if united nations meant organization for uniting man kind under a global government, this could be the best status and legal system to have.

/tinfoil hat


you guys should not use this - amazon has a history of retarded tech support

they also overban customers.


can i get a code for beta access plz?


Just download a torrent and use your own copies; I mean, what could possibly go wrong with that plan?


it looks like yql is only for some sites and you need the sites api key, and this is any site "whether they like it or not" and it takes 2 clicks.

cool project thought about doing this myself, gl!.


No, you can use YQL for any site that you want and even combine multiple queries into a single one. I don’t see any reasons why this project needs to exist…


I think it’s a crazy amount, but not necessarily wrong.

Mongo is the most popular NoSQL db

The interweb of the last 5-6 years created a large demand for JavaScript developers; this db (and or NodeJS) allows them to get into DB programming. Now that I think about that its like Windows did for OSes or Word for typing or HTML for web. So the growth potential is pretty large.

I think the best deal on a biz like this they can sign support contracts with an infinite number of customers to support their product, saving the customers money when shit breaks. That alone is a few million a year.
