Hey I work at Braintree on our SDKs. You can find the list of things you need to do to enable one touch here[1]. For Android there is nothing outside a normal Braintree integration you need to do and for iOS you need to register a URL type as well as make two changes in your app delegate to tell us about it.
We generally think about two ways you can integrate with Braintree on the front-end: the drop-in UI and custom. Drop-in [2] means you yield control to us, but you get a dead simple integration which includes one touch paypal and venmo out of the box. If you go the custom[3] route it's obviously more work to integrate, but adding one touch only requires some button that starts the paypal or venmo flow.
I'm one of the developers who works on v.zero. We're planning on constantly improving the drop-in UI based on feedback and data. Currently we allow you to embed the form shown in your own form. It's expected you would include your own call to action that would be more contextual for the user.
On native mobile we,ve taken the approach to render the call to action for you and allow you to configure the text. Is that something you would find useful on web as well? It's definitely something we've debated internally.
I like that I've got the ability to control the display, I'm looking forward to testing the integration. But, for some people, providing the full look and feel might fit better with the "drop-in" notion.
I've recently uninstalled NERDTree in favor of netrw and I've been presently surprised at how little I miss NERDTree and how much more productive I am on default vim installations.
Are you planning on offering an ebook version? I prefer to read most books digitally, but agree that this type of book would be impossible take in on a kindle.
I agree with you when you're taking about web apps, but what about personal blogs?
If I just want to set up a personal blog that I don't plan on promoting or spending a lot of time on I wouldn't want to spend any extra time setting up things that don't help me with my primary goal, writing blog posts.
I totally get that. I'm beyond the phase in my life where I enjoy tinkering with blogging software settings. I'm far more interested in engaging in the conversation. But here's the counter argument: it takes a sum total of 60 seconds to implement. If you're using WordPress to host your blog, installing caching is beneath trivial. You click "Add New" under the Plugins menu, then search for WP Super Cache and click install. The only thing remaining is to turn it on.
If you're not using WP, you might use something like Tumblr or Posterous. In that case, caching isn't your problem. If you rolled your own blogging software, well, you already violated the principle that blogging is your primary goal.
It's only trivial if I know that such plugins exist. And if I don't consider how to improve performance because at the moment I don't care, then it doesn't matter how trivial it is.
Hrm. That's a really good point. It's hard for me to see outside the fact that I've set up what seems like a hundred WP blogs in my lifetime. That adds a solid 5 minutes of Googling, which I still think is a pretty minimal commitment.
That is true. At least for personal blogging, I would use a service like Tumblr so I wouldn't have to think about any of these issues unless my blog became very popular.
This guy has the right idea. My immediate thought when I visit a site and get "Couldn't establish database connection" is "why are they hosting this themselves?" Most people, tech savvy or not, don't need to be managing this stuff themselves.
Yeah I was a little surprised a .js version wasn't included as well. If might be a good idea to reference how people can compile coffeescript for people who want to use this and don't know what coffeescript is.
