This is cool!

I actually "worked" on this with the developer - I recently interviewed at Shopify, and one of the interviews is to work with one of the developer on some of their work. I had no Ruby experience, but in an hour I was able to build an app which read the data from an HTTP stream and perform data analysis, decoding etc.

Very awesome to see the final thing in production!

Edit: Of course my work isn't operating here I don't think - it was just a test for me.

I believe that was me, glad you liked it :-)

I want to do something like this for Bitcoin transactions.

Are there any links that would help me?

That $ per hour is almost 3x too low, it's a bug, we're looking into it.

edit: fixed now ;)

Looks amazing.

BTW, looking at your javascript source, the style you've used of:

	  var className = (function() {
		function classNameConstructor() {
		  //set properties
		}

		classNameConstructor.prototype.method1 = function() {
		};

		classNameConstructor.prototype.method2 = function() {
		};

		return classNameConstructor;

	  })();

How's that working out? I started playing with it just before I got other projects which have had no significant javascript on them, just was wondering if it's a pattern you think works well?

That's generated by CoffeeScript

[mattmanser → fw42]

Ha, well there you go. I'm trying to write like a compiler.

Maybe I should give coffeescript a go again.

I'm running it on two browsers side by side and they show completely different numbers for products sold per minute.

The globe spins but nothing happens... Did all the Black Friday shoppers kill each other?

Looks like nobody in China, Russia or Africa are getting xmas gifts this year..

Yeah, shopify IS awesome. Too bad it has limited amount of international support and no multi-language support (ie. no checkout localisation).

[byroot → tmikaeld]

Totally unofficial statement: It's coming.
