Organization accounts are coming soon:

  Currently, private packages are only available for individual users, but support for organization accounts is coming soon. Feel free to create a user for your organization in the meantime, and we can upgrade it to an organization when support is here.
https://www.npmjs.com/private-modules#organizations


Everything looks pretty awesome, except the payment model.

I'm a little surprised they didn't go with a model similar to GitHub: - Payment plans with X number of private modules, or $1/month per private module - Unlimited paying/non-paying collaborators for private modules (perhaps only read access for non-paying)

With npm's model all my collaborators will have to pay for npm private modules as well.


Charging per-module like github would encourage people to author fewer packages and to lump more functionality into the same package, which goes completely against the ethos of npm and the spirit of tiny abstractions that do one thing well.

The way that npm has structured things, programmers pay once for membership in a commercial tier, where presumably money is already changing hands to work on private code. I think this makes much more sense and won't bias the code itself in a negative direction.


That's a very good point!

I hadn't thought of it from the point of encouraging/incentivizing the authoring of more public packages.

But couldn't the current model then discourage the authoring of public packages, and lead people to start primarily publishing private packages.

I assume whatever reason people are authoring public packages today won't change because they get a paid account. Let's at least hope that's the case.


Sounds like a big pain to have to pay individually for each person on a team if your company wants to use private modules. We're generally willing to throw money at problems like those private modules solve, but if we have to do it a dozen times it probably isn't going to happen.


Services like $timeout and $interval are basically just thin wrappers around their vanilla JS relatives(setTimeout and setInterval), there are more examples like this.

The APIs look identical, some with a little added functionality - but the primary reason for the AngularJS wrappers is that they'll automatically call $scope.$apply() for you, so that you don't have to do it yourself.


> ReactNative is like Titanium/Alloy. It uses native components to render views, not the DOM. So it has nothing to do with Phonegap except for the use of javascript.

I believe the original poster was referring to the fact that Cordova's whole purpose is to be a testing ground for new browser APIs - and that the goal of the project is to basically become irrelevant at a later point because browser vendors hopefully will have implemented similar APIs.

Sort of like a testing ground for web standards.

But yes, in a technical sense React Native is closer akin to Titanium than Cordova/PhoneGap in its current state.


I've been using Goofy for a couple of months: http://www.goofyapp.com/

This project looks super nice, but native notifications would be nice.


What would be different here to the way that Goofy does it? Goofy handles notifications through it's wrapper and sends them over to the notification center, thus being native notifications. The rest is all a webview, for both of these projects.


Correct, the main differentiator would be the notifications and the additional styling on top of the web view.

Goofy was created before messenger.com and had a bit of extra styling afaik.


> they are not going to spend anything on an unproven idea Exactly!

It's even in their mission statement: > Rocket identifies and builds proven Internet business models and transfers them to new, underserved or untapped markets where it seeks to scale them into market leading online companies.
