It might be the favicon, it's dynamically being altered and hammered by the JS.


If anyone is curious what this punycode decodes to:

Checkout OSX hot corners to start your screensaver, it's easy to just toss your mouse to a corner and your screen is locked.


This is what I do. I just jump the cursor to the corner when I get up. Super easy.


It's interesting to see that they went back to a two day conference. For the past two years it was three days long.


I didn't get to go in 2013, so I don't know if things changed then, but in 2012 the third day just seemed hastily bolted-on.

There were not as many talks on the third day, and they were the less-interesting ones. The demo pit had been completely dismantled and removed overnight after the second day's program had ended. There was a box lunch instead of a hot lunch like the first two days.

I wound up leaving halfway through day 3, instead spending the afternoon looking to explore SF a little and get a couple beers.


Both times that third day was weird. The convention center was already partially cleaned up and it had the feeling of somewhere to wait for a flight.


Workshop Cafe is one of my favorite places to work in SF. You don't feel like a cafe squatter since you pay for your seat, and its always nice working around like-minded individuals. Plus there are so many outlets... http://workshopcafe.com/


I just spent a few hours there. It was pretty much at capacity the whole time. Cool to see it succeeding such a short time after opening. Though for me personally I can't say the environment there's ever been particularly conducive to meeting any of the supposedly like-minded individuals staring at their screens next to you.


They've actually just started adding social features to the app. It's all opt-in, but if you want you can share who you are, what you're working on, and where you're sitting when you check in. You can tell it is really just their first step in encouraging that kind of thing. Such a great place to work.


Developer for Workshop Café here. The recently-released social features (Community Page) are definitely just the MVP. Would love to know what you think. We're going to see how people use it and add stuff we think is helpful. We've already noticed people putting their contact info and links to their personal pages, projects, etc. Hope it catches on!


Oh tight. I hadn't even noticed the feature, because I just use the app to check in and out. Would love to have more first-class 'desktop' web support, since once I'm sitting there already using my laptop I don't want to have to keep whipping out my phone to do things.

But it's totally awesome to have the capability to check out who's there. I hope it goes a long way toward fostering a community there and helping people make useful contacts.


Glad you're also excited!

You can currently use the app on your desktop browser using the same url (https://app.workshopcafe.com) and get the same feature set as you get on your phone (Except for things that require a phone like calling or texting in orders). No need to switch from your laptop!
