Check out bittboy (http://bittboy.com), a similar handheld console which has emulators for NES, SNES and GB/GBA/GBC games , at less than 1/3rd of the price.


Hi, I'm one of the contributors to cappy. Thank you for the suggestions.

No sendfile() support as of now but seems like a good addition as it probably would speed up the caching.

The base HTTP server class sends only the timestamp and version and doesn't send the Content-type header. Python's SimpleHTTPServer[1] does this in a simple-enough manner and it would make a good pull-request :)

I'm very much interested in knowing how you've managed to run C/C++ etc in a sandboxed environment. Would you be interested to share the details ?


Are custom domains supported ? .Like github?


Don't think so, and that's a big downside.


props to the stunt. that's a never-seen-before way to grab attention :) hope you get funded by crunchfund.


congratulations for the launch . The app looks promising. If only there was an Android version :D .

Btw a simpler site for mobile devices would be nice . I am visiting the site using opera mini from an android device and I'm not able to see the text properly.


Thanks! I agree on the simpler site, I'm going to make a mobile version. Maybe even tonight ;).


Learning Django and Javascript and probably PostgreSQL.


The article is so True !.Consider even universities, Wearing a Harvard or MIT T-shirt is like a badge of honor . It identifies you as a member of an exclusive community .


Thanks a lot for the review jbrennan. * The sharing part would be moved . Would you suggest replacing it with a "how to" dialogue ? like how to add and remove tasks ? *Would you also prefer the tasks being there with a completed sign rather than being removed from the list ??

Again Thanks for your time ! It means a lot getting the first pat on your back for your work !


* Yes, I think something a little instructional would be good. Although as your app is very simple, it also makes it easy to understand already, so that's a great point.

* I think whether a task is "Deleted" or moved to a "Completed" list or just somehow marked as completed but staying in the same list is a design decision you'll have to make. I've seen it done either way in different To-Do apps. Some people prefer the style where a completed task is completely gone and out of sight and removed from the app. Others prefer to see a log of their completed work at the end of the day (/month /week, etc). So I think it's up to you to decide what's best for your app. I would lean towards keeping the ToDo, but either marking/moving it to indicate a completion, and maybe also having a way to remove it completely.

And deciding what to do is half the fun anyway! Best of luck with it.
