No I haven’t tried it as it needs access to github repos including private ones and I can’t take chances with some of the repos. But may be I will create docs only account and will try out :)

In reply to Shekhar. Hi Shekhar. Yeah, my use case was a dynamic frontend for static HTML documentation. hasdocs wasn't working at the time- is it working now?

Hi Rob,

I struggled with same issue and had similar thoughts. But wonder what was broken when you used hasdocs? Is it correct to say that your use case was hosting generated html?

Cheers.

Regarding the captcha, this is just a wordpress theme and plugins. I am not going to customize them or hunt around for a better theme right now. Sorry if it isn’t enjoyable! I appreciate you commenting and telling me about it, I’ll keep this in mind when I look for a new theme.

I’ve installed a comment subscription plugin, you should now have the option.

Dmitry, regarding Windows vs. Linux, I will try and make a longer post about it.

And last thing in my mind – useabilty wise captcha math should be before Send comment button. E.g. on the left of it, not under and on the other side. Also button itself should be disabled if answer is not presented. And it would be nice to give a hint on the math and button combo. And you can use placeholder text instead of labels on the right ( http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_input_placeholder ).

So, one image to demonstrate the idea: http://gyazo.nivalnetwork.com/db/417b724b81b6d2148fe9af0320a47a95.png

And is it possible to get notifications on new answers? Now I read you blog with AOL Reader, open your article on the site to post comment and then keep tab open for several days refreshing it time to time to see updates =) I suggest to have “Receive email notifications” checkbox right after email text box.

Rob, can you please be more specific on power of Linux compared with Windows? I did my own experiments, and Windows seems to be the only one dev OS for me, at least for 3d art, web and UI design.

We go one step further and just put the generated doc in a Dropbox folder. That lets any dev update any doc, and has it all available locally for searches, offline use etc.

Also your captcha is idiotic. If using words then allow enough space for words.
