Why not just make a supplemental api? So you do website.com/followthru/couchbaseshit And website.com/customapishit/ Then you are essentially having both a crunch base a pi and then a custom a pi. It makes no sense to do double the work when someones already done it. Plus scalability is importan

Hi all, It's my first post to the board. I've been silently following along for a couple of months now. Just wanted to say I love what you guys are doing with elementary. In regards to the topic on head - I noticed the same issue and rolled back the kernel update to a previous kernel and haven't h

An AppCenter inherits the need to be "online", in a sense that it requires network connection to fetch package information and install packages. In terms of making it online like Google Play or PlayDeb, that is an idea I've pondered on myself. In terms of the loading of an application data, I'

No what i mean is to do in this way to build a prototype, to see if it works properly, because some people are saying that if we do it online will be very slow. SO we can build a prototype, making the less effort possible (this is why i said to use those APIs to access the DB) and if it works and e

Last few weeks, I've been experienced a catastrophic UI freeze. Basically, entire UI becomes non-responsive (no response to mouse events, no response to hotkeys). Only responsive desktop element is the pointer, which still moves. Only way to recover is a reboot. It happens a couple of times a

A self-build API, in my opinion, allows for more flexibility and integration with third-party services (such as the Ubuntu Reviews API) than a generated API from Couchbase. It may not necessarily be easier to maintain, however we'll be able to add / remove features at our own speed and not rely

Why should we "waste" time on building an API for it if we could just build the database with couchbase (which is very scalable as well) and just use those ones, they are there, we just need to prepare the queries (if needed) I could help setting up everything. http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchb

Hey everyone, Yorba just launched their crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo. As you all know, we ship two of their apps default, so we definitely owe them in terms of making our desktop complete and functional. I'm wondering if we shouldn't donate (as elementary) to Yorba's campaign? And if so, ho

Hey guys, We're doing an all-or-nothing campaign, like Kickstarter.  IndieGoGo does offer a flexible funding model, but as you pointed out, they eat a larger chunk if you don't make the goal.  See http://support.indiegogo.com/entries/20566503-Fixed-vs-Flexible-Funding I can answer any other
