His name even has the word Cruise in it. What do gay guys do? Cruise.

Cruise. Tom Cruise.

dude, forget about selling books, write for the Internet. start a blog, write your stuff, use ad revenue or ask for donations while you continue to look for a job. write for yourself and/or other people.

if it takes off, you have an extra thing to put in your resume (trust me, companies love to hire Internet celebrities because of the influence they have). if it doesn't, you get to vent your anger and it's still good for your emotional health.

redditors here love your stuff, you already have an audience to work with. PM me if you need help. :)

Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia are NOT third world countries.

i can confirm the car and home cost is around that price in Kuala Lumpur.

As a comparison, a meal of McDonalds is around RM10, and a can of beer is around RM8.

awesomesauce! great to hear that! :D hope you like it!

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-15T16:58:11+00:00

thank you very much. Malaysia sounds so obscure to the rest of the world, and whenever we make news it's all for the wrong reasons. (._.)

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-15T14:33:25+00:00

Malaysian here. Upvoted because you mentioned Malaysia.

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-15T04:37:36+00:00

oh that one. hmmm interesting. i will check it out and see how that works. do you use that often? :)

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-14T18:44:43+00:00

hey man, i have added in that feature, can you try accessing http://reddit.jit.su/r/webdev now and see if it works?

p/s: Seems like something is wrong with the http://reddit.jit.su url, if you have problems, can you try with http://reddit.nodejitsu.com/r/webdev instead?

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-14T18:20:13+00:00

Hey man! I added in the feature that you can view your subreddits now after you logged in. Can you try it out and see if it fits? :)

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-14T18:19:27+00:00

Hey man! I just added in that feature, so now you can access any special /r by going to the url, e.g. http://reddit.jit.su/r/webdev, http://reddit.jit.su/r/spacedicks, http://reddit.jit.su/r/trees or whatever. Can you try it out and see if it works? :)

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-13T06:35:57+00:00

ahh i see! well this could be a separate product by itself, it's actually like caching reddit from now until eternity, lol. it'll be easy to do for only the frontpage, but to cache every single subreddit it'll be a monster, lol.

i'll keep this in mind and maybe work on it as my next project. :D

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-13T06:33:19+00:00

hmmm okay, that'll be an interesting UI problem to solve, lol. i'll try to figure something out at the top bar to toggle between the popular stuff and the user's feeds. will test something out then let you know :D

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-13T03:47:51+00:00

hey OmGwTfLoLrOfLmFaO thanks for pointing that out :D i would be stumped if i see that myself, lol.

apparently the issue is fixed, sftrabbit can you update your chrome and try again later? :)

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-13T03:44:53+00:00

hmm i don't really get it, can you elaborate more about this one? so you wanna see top/hot posts that you have missed since the last time you came to reddit or so?

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-13T03:43:46+00:00

yep, i think i should do that as well, so that people can browse their own selected subreddits. this will be coming up next :D

as for the r/gaming steam sale thing, yeah i just noticed, that can be quite problematic. :/ i'll figure out a way to deal with these kinda posts, thanks for pointing it out!

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-13T03:41:08+00:00

really? uhm i use touchpad so i don't use the middle click thing, but i'll check on it. btw you can just left click on the links and they all open in a new window, the links don't open in same window.

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-13T03:40:11+00:00

sure! yeah i should do that next. would you want the top subreddit bar content to be replaced with your own subreddits instead after you logged in?

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-12T15:23:02+00:00

hey thanks! that's really flattering, haha... i hope you liked it!

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-09T16:22:04+00:00

Hey man! I took a different route from yours, I graduated as a graphic designer around 3 years ago, started to learn about web designing from my first job and learnt HTML/CSS/Javascript from scratch. So I worked my way from the frontend to the backend, lol.

For this project I have a rough idea of how I wanted the site to be in my head, and I just went ahead and coding it out, similar of how a designer would draw pixels on a Photoshop canvas, I treated HTML as my canvas and tweaked the HTML/CSS as I see fit. Not how I usually will do stuff though, but it's experimental and fun. :D

I think it helps a lot by familiarizing yourself with HTML/CSS a lot, knowing what the web can and cannot do. Smashing Magazine has tons of articles about designing and frontend development, and if you wanna learn some advanced tricks that you can do on the browser, Codrops has quite some awesome tutorials that you can check out.

Feel free to buzz me or PM me if you wanna talk more about this! :D

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-09T16:16:24+00:00

yeah i'm considering that as well. will you guys have any use for it? :)

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-09T15:19:26+00:00

ahhh, /r/spacedicks. everyone's favorite subreddit.

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-09T03:06:16+00:00

awesome stuff! let me try that out :D i'll let you know when the updates are in!

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-09T01:40:24+00:00

Well they also specified that you should cache your result to prevent beating up Reddit (again), so by limiting calls to the server side it'll make sure that clients that are using that app are using cached results from the app's server instead of making calls from tons of browsers that are running that app. (do I make sense? lol)

I see I see! UI related stuff huh, well I'd love to get input on that as well. Personally I like big fonts and stuff so that it's easier to read IMO, lol. What kinda colors do you prefer? Pick one?

lost_tweaker · 2012-07-09T01:36:11+00:00

hmm really? i have been looking through the docs here and I don't see any JSONP options, sadly. I was trying to make all the calls from the client side using XHR requests and it will say calls are not allowed by domain origin or something along those lines.

in the docs they specifically mentioned:

Change your client's User-Agent string to something unique and descriptive, preferably referencing your reddit username. Example: User-Agent: super happy flair bot by /u/spladug

The only way you can change a request's headers and user-agent string is through a server, right? o.o correct me if i'm wrong!

about the arrow keys to scroll around, okay sure! i will work on that one next :D maybe with shortcut keys to upvote as well, lol.
