Saving as PDF was not working on OSX Chrome. However, using Safari with "show no footers" option, generated a perfect PDF.


Hi HN, I'm one of the co-founders of Laundromatch, I would be happy to answer any questions!


Is pickup/delivery $10 per load or $10 per pickup/delivery?

What happens if the host ruins my clothes (because, for example, they didn't follow the included instructions)?


The pricing is $10 per load to do wash/dry/fold and extra $10 if you want pickup/delivery. For example, 2 loads with pickup would be $20 (for laundry) + $10 (for delivery), total of $30.


If there is clear evidence that your clothes were ruined, we will work with both parties, and reimburse you for any damages. For more detailed information, email us at contact@laundromatchapp.com


How is this different than the Meta AR glasses? I have a pair, and I think they did a great job with the display and interaction.


Hey, did those end up being any good?

I wanted to buy some to develop on, but they didn't really seem to have their act together.


I tried some out at a hackathon and they look cool, the technology still has a long way to go. The resolution and display quality is pretty shitty.


I think they have potential, they are very clunky right now. But they have most of the same features at the Microsoft ones. It was really cool to "touch" a 3d object.


Hey! We're having our first Meta AR Hackathon in SF Feb 20th-21st. Come and hack on our Meta Glasses! Register here - goo.gl/b6BIWN


They were the first thing I thought of when I saw this. Seems a direct competitor with Meta more than it is with Google Glass.


Yea man! It's my favorite pizza place in NYC :)


If THAT's your favorite pizza in NYC, of all places, ... well, you need to sample the local wares more. Or you have no idea what "pizza" means.


No, like you said Grunt/Gulp is useful when you are automating multiple tasks that are done repeatedly. The title of this article is total click bait.


The author's argument is actually "NPM is a better build tool than Grunt or Gulp."

He followed up with an extensive tutorial on how to do complex builds with NPM [1]. The tutorial concludes with an example where NPM is used to:

* Take my JS and lint, test & compile it into 1 versioned file (with a separate sourcemap) and upload it to S3

* Compile Stylus into CSS, down to a single, versioned file (with separate sourcemap), upload it to S3

* Add watchers for testing and compilation

* Add a static file server to see my single page app in a web browser

* Add livereload for CSS and JS

* Have a task that combines all these files so I can type one command and spin up an environment

* For bonus points, open a browser window automagically pointing to my website

He accomplishes this with ~20 lines in the "script" object of package.json. The whole process is initiated with a single npm run dev command. He asserts that "to do the equivalent in Grunt, it'd take a Gruntfile of a few hundred lines, plus (my finger in the air estimate) around 10 extra dependencies."

Looks cool, but this is still my favorite theme for Sublime: http://kkga.github.io/spacegray/


My favorite as well.

It's also a perfect match for the Numix desktop theme, which I find lovely: https://numixproject.org/


Scraping is always such a pain, this looks incredibly well done. I've personally have had a really good experience with PhantomJS. What does your backend look like? (What happens when a API request is made)


We run a headless browser to execute your extraction.


Very interesting project! Can you explain what some of the differences are between this library and PassportJS?


Passport is sever and side meant for use with nodejs [1]. This is client side for use with bower [2].

PassportJS = NodeJS authentication, designed for single sign-on.

HelloJS = Browser + Phonegap authentication and API request handling designed to interact with thirdparty services from the client app.


Firebase simple login does provide similar functionalities right ?


Just one (small) design thought, the sidebar has the appearance that it could be hidden. Or maybe i've just been on mobile for far too long. Looks great, nonetheless!
