Show HN: Sproute
- jaxomlotus 13y agoA FAQ and about page would be extremely useful here. What is it? What are it's limitations? Who are you building this for? What happens if sproute goes out of business? I'm sure this can be gleaned from an in-depth read through the docs and API, but it would be useful to know this info at a glance of your site.
- louisstow 13y agoGreat idea! Will add it. The video was an attempt at a good introduction but a FAQ makes sense to me. The framework will be released as open-source very soon and I will eventually have an export feature so anyone can just export their site to a ZIP and host it on their own machine. That's the plan anyway.
- alaskamiller 13y agoShould change the name. http://sproutcore.com/ http://sproutcore.com/
- louisstow 13y agoYeah I basically made it ungoogleable

- ehaughee 13y agoI keep getting "Username and password mismatch" when I try to hit my space's dashboard. I've reset the password twice so I know I'm typing the right password. Any ideas? Looks like a cool app and I'd like to try it out.
- louisstow 13y agoSorry about that. Can you send me your details to support@sproute.io? can you try creating a new space?
- coherentpony 13y agoFree forever How do they define 'forever'? Google Fiber defines 'forever' to be seven years.
- louisstow 13y agoI define forever as the lifetime of the app. Also I will be adding a feature to export sites for use on private servers
- fossuser 13y agoIf you're talking about google fiber they said after seven years it'll be the fair market value for 5mb/s which they're hoping at the time will be $0.
- dlsym 13y agoI'm sorry. I don't get this.
- louisstow 13y agoYeah I'm having a hard to explaining it rather than showing it. Would you take a look at the getting started video and tell me what you think? https://getsproute.com/getting-started https://getsproute.com/getting-started . Thanks!
- mgkimsal 13y agoIn the signup you ask for 'email', but on dashboard login you ask for 'username'. It took me way too long (and had to watch your video) to determine these are the same thing. Please remedy. You will have happier people when they get started with your system. As it is, I've had to walk away for a bit, because if I start trying to test your system now, I'll be viewing it through a negative lens.
- louisstow 13y agoYeah I can see that being confusing. Will change the label and add a little blurb with information where to get the details. Thanks!
- mnx 13y agoI can't even complete the most basic reddit tutorial on the free account, when I try to create the seventh page (subreddit) it tells me I went over the limit. On the page is says the limit is 7 pages.
- louisstow 13y agoAh my mistake. I forgot to check all the guides were completable within the page limit. Will increase the count to 10 or something. Were there any other issues with the guide? Thanks!
