Does it also have a algorithmic ranking model and is the algorithm customizable? Any chance of a self-hosted alternative? This looks awesome, I would love to talk more, I have been looking for something like this

  We don't have a self-hosted model yet. But we'll probably look into it in the future. :) We do have a simple ranking algorithm. Hmm, how could we allow our users customize this... that's a good question.

Looks cool. May I ask you what stack did you use to build it?
- _lce0 11y ago
  The webpage is using: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4.11 .. which has a Symfony router in the back (from 404s) but that the actual product could be using another stack

  PHP (Laravel) + Javascript, Postgres.

I didn't see anything about pricing on your website?
- sideproject 11y ago
  That's because it's free. For now. :) It'll come one day I'm sure.

I haven't checked all around the site but on http://www.postatic.com/admin/hello/tour http://www.postatic.com/admin/hello/tour this stood out: `User your own domain name` should be `Use your own domain name`

  just another kindly heads up .. you have a <div> in the <head> section ;) Anyways great product! I wonder if there's a demo or something to check how this works.
