trenchant asked: How many times have you watched that Ace Attorney 5 trailer?

I don’t know! I mean, it’s in Japanese what would be the point?

Like 10,000.

In the complex decisions between responsive HTML5 websites and native mobile applications, publishers shouldn’t take sides.

The insight of content management systems (going back decades ago to document processing systems and technologies like SGML) was to separate content from presentation.
Somewhere along the line many tools got confused and separated web content from web presentation details.

This is wrong.

Our systems need to make multi-platform publishing — whether it’s to a native iOS application
with Newsstand integration, a weekly email newsletter, or whatever best serves the reader — as simple as publishing to the web.

Currently this type of publishing is something between frustrating and impossible even the best tools, and those tools aren’t widely available yet.

Every time I removed a feature, it got better. it became more streamlined, more focused, more pure. As an added bonus, every time I removed a feature of the game, it became one less thing to worry about.

If you like to read about the stuff I do for work, you should follow the newly redesigned XOXCO Blog.  We will be posting about our projects, our processes, and topics of interest to people involved in software development, product design, and running a small business.
I am particularly proud of the responsive design for our blog, demonstrated above. It should look great on virtually any device.

If people want to donate their time, copyrights, intellectual property, and personal data to companies and whoever else so they can sell billboards on it in exchange for heart and star icons, that’s fine. That’s the internet they deserve. (via The Internet We Deserve · trenchant.org daily)
