Thanks! Yes, I definitely agree. For the first version, I picked the ones I felt could generate the most interest. I've had people mention Google Apps, the Atlassian suite, Campfire, and many more.

Hey everyone, I ran some Facebook ads and received some feedback from Reddit /r/startups. I decided it was enough validation to build it. If you're like me, you've probably used Basecamp, GitHub, Heroku, HipChat, and man

I was on campus when these guys were first starting out. I believe they setup camp in the same spot every week and hand out compliments to people. It's an awesome sight to see, and most people are more than surprised. It's amazing what two

Thanks, I'll have to try out the demo. I don't have an iOS device available, but I should try it out in the emulator. Also, when I touch a cluster, does the map zoom in and show the pins in the area?

This looks so cool. When I click on one of the +50 buttons, does it expand the pins?

This is almost trivial, but I put this together this morning. Basically, I thought it was too much trouble to scroll to the bottom of someone's profile to remove them on Facebook. There's more you could do with this i.e. a Chrome extension

I'm not sure of the margins exactly, but I'll get one of the other co-founders to comment. I think 5% is in the range.

We're working on the Firefox issues. Sorry about that. Thanks for the feedback though. We don't actually sell beer, but rather give you a quote of how much beer you could buy if you sold your book.

Thanks for letting us know. We'll work on it and fix the bugs.

We meant to post a Show HN. We'll work on the usability. We built this out of a startup weekend. Not exactly a startup yet, but we had a lot of fun. Thanks for the feedback.

It's great seeing all of these commands and shortcuts, and seeing that you know a lot of them. These never cease to be useful. Even though it seems simple to someone who knows Linux, you can always impress marketing/business people by flyin

You're right. Call it in the air. Be sure to have a coin that's tails on both sides. It's the only way to go.

I've never looked into Mechanical Turk either. Sounds like something that could be helpful. I wonder what a good budget would be for using it successfully.

I love the advice as well. I have some projects I've done that I've never bothered to put on Github. I'm making an effort to get them up there although some of the projects aren't refined. For example, I have a project I did in 6 hours, so

To me, it's definitely worth it for people trying to pickup a new skill like programming. I hope they pitch this to schools, particularly middle school and high school. Something like this could potentially handle the curriculum for a progr

I like the article. I learned to tinker with computers in much the same way. Not that I'm proud of it, but I remember finding programs for AOL that would fade your text into different colors. I was so interested in how these types of things
