Hey Alex, It's great that you're playing with the API. I think we are going to make a project for API discussions and so people can post up what they're doing with it. Regarding your question, one of the Devs will respond to you here soon, or let you know where the project is. Cheers.
Hey Alex, after you register you app you'll get API key that you can use for read-only endpoints. You can find your API key here https://dev.hackaday.io/applications
After that all you have to do is to send this request with your API key https://api.hackaday.io/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID?api_key=API_KEY
You can use this project for API related questions https://hackaday.io/project/5602-hackaday-api or feel free to PM me.
Hey, I found two little things:
I am on the lastest Opera btw.
1) When I hover over my profile pic in the top right corner, I get a list including a link to "My Profile". Moving the mouse to the link using the shortest path, the list collapses, as I shortly leave its scope. Could you extend the scope or add a short delay before collapsing the list. It happens to me each time I visit this page.
2) On my profile, there is a list of "PROJECTS I LIKE & FOLLOW". Some of the projects have a small badge from HAD-Prize 2014. Hovering over the images gives a nice animation. EXCEPT for those that have this badge.
Hey Nippey, we'll look into both of these. Thanks for pointing them out.
@Jasmine, Can I please be taken off the Atmel Lists at
https://hackaday.io/list/5418-atmel-parts and
https://hackaday.io/list/4575-atmel-avr-projects?
Not that I mind (I like Atmel), but it seems unfair to other people who put hard work into real Atmel projects.
Atmel maintain there own list and wanted you on it :) Which project was it?
@haydn jones, I should have regarded it more of a privilege! #Driverless Mouse and Keyboard Sharing
Hey frankstripod, I've removed #Driverless Mouse and Keyboard Sharing from the Atmel Parts list. Please note the Atmel/Freescale/Microchip/TI Parts lists are catch-all lists for any projects using those parts. Cheers.
Hi,
I received one of those "time to officially submit your project" emails, regarding this project - https://hackaday.io/project/1071-the-hydra-multiheaded-virtual-computer
which is not a project I am in any way affiliated with.
looks like this is a common issue, just letting you know.
Thanks for letting us know. I think we've resent the email with the correct details now. Have a great weekend.
Bug: I'm the owner of "Improve the Bosch-Haber Process", project 1646.
I just got the E-mail announcement "tagged 2015HackadayPrize but has not yet been officially submitted", but for someone *else's* project.
In fact, my project *is* submitted, so I have to assume that the owner of the project my E-mail refers to has not received his E-mail.
His project is: https://hackaday.io/project/1071-the-hydra-multiheaded-virtual-computer
I think there was a hitch, so you may get another email, but probably not if you have already officially submitted. Thanks for letting us know though.
Mike said he fixed it and resent, and I didn't get the new version so I assume it's straightened out.

Hello Tero. I'm afraid you have to sign in via the same method you signed up originally. If you use your github account to login it will create another account on hackaday.io. Let me know if you need more info.

I'd also be interested into login via github. Originally I also registered with mail/pw.
Would be cool to make "added contributor" an option for the feed settings.
the stacks input process keeps mangling the url:
http://ifixit.org/blog/7152/john-deere-ownership/
very interesting...
ul.submissions-icons is too large when inside of div.section-skull-and-like-projects, taking up more space than the actual `li.submission-icon`s. This makes it hard to click on the actual project.
A lot of projects are full of spelling errors which distract from their content. Is it possible to add a basic spell checker to the text editor?
Don't spell checker come with everything now? With browsers and operating systems?
We are unlikely to add a spell checker to the editor, as people tend to prefer to use the one on their browser. Thanks.
Hm, I don't think the feed update counter counts according to the feed settings.
The user menu (your icon in the menubar) is nearly impossible to find for users without avatars. How about you add an icon as a fallback?
The default icon is a little subdued. I've added this to our list of improvements. Thanks
Also, maybe it would be nice not to use gravatar (which seems to be used only for default icons.)
I'd recommend you using different `name`s for the sign up, delete account, and change password views. Due to autofill, the current state could confuse users, cause them to accidentally delete their account or allow someone to easily change their password.
For project logs:
Putting a read more tag anywhere in a list will result in the following logs showing up as list elements in that list.
That's a really annoying bug. We'll get it fixed soon. Thanks for reporting it.
And https://hackaday.io/atmelcorporation gives an error
Thanks for the report alpha! I believe we have a ticket in with the devs to fix it already
A bunch of time travelers on the message board lately - when someone writes a messages it says "in an hour" for the time when it was written. At least for me. In Germany (greenwich +1 and summertime).
Funky Link at the HaD Blog's "Now On .io" for project 114 #I/O Pin Testing & Observing
In the Now On .io feed the link URL is:
http://www.hackaday.io/project/114-I/OPinTesting&Observing
which, of course, 404s...
I just came across the dildo project ( https://hackaday.io/project/3834-electric-carving-knife-hack ). There isn't much that offends me personally, and this project doesn't. But ... With content like this, HaD will end up being a site I would/could never suggest young makers/students visit. Unfortunate.
Hello John,
We don't really censor members projects, especially when they are essentially harmless, but do understand that it's not what everyone wants to see especially if you are browsing the site with kids or at work. With this in mind, we are going to implement a not-safe-for-work filter, but it's not ready yet.
We do want to encourage the next generation of hackers and tinkerers, so we are please that you want to share with younger makers/students. However, the site is not intended for children, so please use your best judgement when deciding to share. I'm sure you've noticed, sex toys aside, there are other projects on the site which are actually dangerous, some with instructions (guns, cannons, fire, plasma etc.).
We do want to grow the community to have a health diversity, and are really pleased to see projects like yours on hackaday.io. Thanks for taking the time to give us feedback.
I know you don't want any more input on this (why can't we all just get along?), but as a huge fan of freedom of speech and the marketplace of ideas, I feel the need to pipe up...
- as you know, the occurrence of this type of project is *extremely* rare.
- unless a parental figure has been inappropriate toward a child, or they saw this on TV (which again points back to the parent), they shouldn't even know what that item is.
- it seems the victorian era never ended over here - and what's worse is the bottomless pit of hypocrisy that people like mr. schuch like to laddle from. sex is natural, and in and of itself is not evil...killing people in phony wars is.
Thank you for being logical and having a censorship-free point of view.
I won't be trolled. And you should look up the definition of "hypocrisy".
Thanks for the reply Jasmine, a NFSW filter would surely be a good idea.
I know you folks are short on staff and long ideas, but maybe something for the 'someday file' would be the opposite of an NSFW tag. Something indicating a project is totally appropriate for the newest of newcomers to the community. Granted, subjective assessments are always problematic, but I would think a basic metric could be worked out. You said "We do want to encourage the next generation of hackers and tinkerers". Yes, Yes you should. :-)
- with all the laser pointer advertisements I lost track which I've already reported, would be cool to have a "you've already done that" hint
- the menu button doesn't work on the message page (but I guess you know that already)
Hey Dave, It should already say that you've reported them and not let you do it again. I hadn't noticed the menu button not working on the mobile message page. I'll put in a ticket for that. Thanks.
i guess i was too lazy to press the link to see this :D sorry. Thank you for the reply :)
it even stands there - maybe I was blinded seeing all those lasers.
same here Dave - the laser mfgrs are firing at us big time.
I think it does it for comments, profiles, and project reporting; but if you notice it doesn't, do let me know. Cheers.
If I think of it I will post this comment next time I see one.

Hey Alex, we're working to make hackaday.io better for mobile, and there will be more possibilities with the API coming out soon. A mobile app would be great though. Thanks.

was trying to play with the new API today, had a question. Is this the right place to ask about that? I'm new to using APIs, forgive my ignorance. I wanted to just put a counter on my site that shows how many skulls/followers one of my projects has. The API appears to require user authentication, under the assumption that my website is a web-app with users (it is not, just a static site). Digging around and looking at how twitter's API works it looks like they have something called application-only authentication for API requests to public stuff. It seems like that is what I am trying to do with Hackaday's API but don't see an example of how to do that in the documentation. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks!
