Kevin Rose’s Milk Inc. releases Oink, an app to rate, well…everything 3 November '11, 10:26pm Follow Digg founder Kevin Rose has a new venture, Milk Inc., and it has released its first app, called Oink. The app is described as a ‘way to rate and rank the things around you,’ and bills itself as a ratings engine not just for places, but the things inside. When you fire up the app currently you’ll get the ability to connect a Twitter or Facebook account or use an email to sign up, but the app is still in a limited beta so you’ll need to wait in line to actually begin to ‘Oink’ things. You can begin browsing things that have already been rated around you by the beta testers of the app. You can view items in categories or on the whole. Instead of just ranking Six Flags as the best theme park, you can rate the coasters in that park from top to bottom. The app allows you to build cred by giving things ratings and then having those ratings approved by followers and other users of Oink. You can download Oink Builder on the App Store now for free.
Backbone.js Zepto.js, a jQuery-compatible mobile JavaScript framework in 2K (presentation) October 28th, 2010 Zepto.js is a JavaScript framework for mobile apps and sites, with a jQuery-compatible syntax (lots of the jQuery API is supported!). The goal is have a 2k library that handles most basic drudge work with a nice API that you might already know so you can concentrate on getting stuff done. Here’s my presentation from the October 27, 2010 vienna.js meetup! Links from the presentation: Interesting numbers from the article (library sizes in bytes): jQuery 1.4.3: 180,477 uncompressed, 77,745 minified, 26,711 minified and gzipped Prototype 1.7_rc3: 160,122 uncompressed, 86,919 minified, 26,617 minified and gzipped Zepto.js (2010/10/27): 8,788 uncompressed, 5,816 minified, 2,368 minified and gzipped These numbers are not strictly comparable, as jQuery and Prototype offer features that are not in Zepto.js, and are not design goals of Zepto.js. You can also download the slides (PDF, 12MB). Want to hear more about Zepto.js?
