Looks very promising but Telcos and social networking giants might have something to say about users being able to connect and share among themselves bypassing their hubs


Thanks for sharing this! it got me playing like a kid ;)


based on all Stellar addresses and the balances I found here http://www.reddit.com/r/Stellar/comments/2cztpg/all_stellar_...


you want the internet to be widespread? Promote things like long-range wifi and mesh networks.


This is a great idea for Facebook! They're in the perfect position to have widespread adoption quickly and the service would be invaluable. Privacy would be key though, they'd have to opensource it and prove to people that it's secure and private.


Ideally Facebook would engineer itself out of existence, but I'm not holding my breath.


Won't happen, I've been waiting for them to become like MySpace but it just hasn't happened.

Facebook is the best at social media, there's no denying that. I would support them if they would have stayed small, simple, and private, but they kept adding, tracking, Sharing, Liking, Poking, etc.


Wireless mesh networks are not always feasible due to legal restrictions; see the discussion on the Gotenna article.


I'm on a tablet now, what libraries is he using?


Jquery + d3. Surprisingly it works quite well on my old Ipad 1 (graceful degradation for the animations). Javascript heavy websites usually crash safari


Great idea! I would suggest adding an option to read the highlighted text so as to make sure you can get the plugin to work even when it can't detect the portion of the page where the article is.


why is G+ the only way to share?


It was made with (or by?) Google, look at the credits.


how about a phone ring? http://beta.veriring.com/


This is my last side project. It is a lightweight and easy to integrate phone verification system.

As I am based in Italy, I need some beta testers from United States and United Kingdom to start using the system so that I can fine-tune it before release.


I'd ve said the guy was a computer scientist, surprisingly he is mech eng!
