I totally agree (we did), though Confidant is in some ways trying to be an extension of existing AWS tools. I'm curious what you're using though since I've felt for a while now that every one of these secrets stores have faults or are a giant pain to work with. Confidant may be the least offender in that regard & anyone that is trying to make being secure easier or trying to make better tools gets an A in my book.

We also wanted things to be simple & wrote a custom cli and ansible module to wrap around https://github.com/oleiade/trousseau, but have slowly found the need for more of the features that tools like these provide.

We're planning on switching to Vault or something similar in the near future & will be testing out both of these. I definitely agree with the "backend" confusion surrounding Vault but I'm interested in where Confidant may be lacking. We host services on AWS and Heroku, so in some places AWS' KMS may not be the best option.

Regardless, I do have to say it's so refreshing to see security tools with decent documentation & a clean user experience. I'm almost stunned to see a swiftype search box, one page threat model description & preconfigured turn-key container all in one place. Props to Lyft for opening up a great tool to the masses!

oyanglulu,

  Do you use gira, at first glance it like it only works on public repos?  It looks like an acceptable but rather thrown together alternative to both Huboard and Zenhub.

(Background: we used Huboard, but essentially have too many issues for it to handle & I'm curious what other workflows people use and if Zenhub could handle what Huboard can't.)

How does that work? It went backwards? And WebKit in what browser?

Isn't WebKit the only engine to support them now, and isn't in not formalized yet? But I think KAAZING would make support easily feasible without direct built in support so I'm not too concerned with including it in the score.

I love the scores posted, I also love that I don't see any above me (Chrome 5.0.371.0) (yet), but I'd like to see a bit of a better breakdown. Anyone know of some info on some of the conflicts, like I'm missing a few in User Interaction, but I don't know who isn't. Or other html5 statistics sites, since the topic is a pretty common trend right now.

Edit: (Like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines_(H... in case its useful to anyone)

I agree on the fact that there should be some differentiation between current html5 and proposed, (and that this site is hilarious: http://isgeolocationpartofhtml5.com/), as well as some of the downfalls of scoring codec support that the author has mentioned, I think I like the out of 155 idea where chrome can go above it.

I have to agree with the laughing part, and I might say that calling this a "religious war" is going a bit too far, but I'd say that for emacs vs vim fanatics as well.

I'm frustrated with Apple for their choices, but I expect that developers will work with it, and Apple does have some good points to their aid. Overall, Apple will happily bicker with their developers, but in the end they will always be trying to support them. On the sarcasm part, I think anyone coming across this and missing that won't think too much about it, and no harm done will be remembered.

* Rips the clock out of the vcr. *, That was fun, great analogy, but how do the generational gaps get jumped? Intereestingly enough it's pretty easy for me to rip Buzz out of Gmail, its the constant "he doesn't get it" whispering that bugs people. Everyone tries to advertise to new users, but its hard to do without seeming unnecessary or even evil to so many. I had the same observation of twitter, but they weren't part of millions of users email. I think Google will get over the evil hump this time though, for now it looks like an inevitable backlash to how fast they are growing a user base.

Good point on the evil, although I'd have to say I'm a little more than peeved overall with the attacks, if anything the article put me more on Google's side. Yes, Google absorbs startups and imitates any product, but it's competitive edge is the crowd of engineers who say, "Hey, I could do that better". All its expansions are evolutionary, and they take into consideration all the criticism out there better than most others could.

Regardless, if you don't want to Buzz then opt-out, but the competition between Buzz, Twitter, Facebook, and the rest will come down too which are most convenient and affective, followers will take it from there. Right now though, Buzz can easily replace Twitter for me, but theres a way to go before Facebook starts trembling, and I don't think Orcut is joining the show any time soon.

Heh, interesting, I'd say it definitely was made to jump start off of Gmail users, works well for everyone I know, but looks like there are exceptions.
