That's a similar direction I'm headed in for http://www.iwaat.com . I think you'll see more sites like http://thetoolbox.cc being created since searching for web apps from google.com is painful. And I can confirm from experience that mo

Very similar to Hacker Dojo's example. [recruiter name], Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, I'm not looking for a new position as I'm focused on my latest project, http://iwaat.com . I'll keep you in mind when I begin hiring. In the

By definition anything on their blog is PR for Exec. But it's also a fun, heartwarming story so I don't see the problem.

I've been using recruiter spam as an opportunity to promote my own project just by replying and asking them to check it out. While the total number of responses are small, I've gotten some decent feedback and made a few interesting contacts

I would like to see design samples in the same way that you show code samples. And the "see who you both know" functionality might work better with linkedin than facebook. What would be really nice is if you could tap into meetup.com so y

As a developer/designer looking for a marketing/business person I feel left out.

Thanks. There's a number of app discovery services focused on mobile(chomp and crosswa.lk), which is why I chose to focus on webapps first. Located in San Mateo, CA.

Yup. They'd be the closest competitor. Although, they seem to be focused more on the technology than building a community which is my next focus.

I'm building http://www.iwaat.com , a search engine for web applications that I'm working to turn into a Yelp for apps. Also a solo founder looking for others to join me on this project. If you're building a web app feel free to add it to

I'm not so sure it's possible to tell whether you are an angel or VC company at such an early stage. It's like asking if I would risk my life to save someone else's. I know what I'd like to think I would do but will never know the true an

Thanks! I've received mixed feedback on that effect. People seem to either love it or hate it.

Thanks for the feedback! Quixey is probably the site most similar to mine and they're certainly not the only player (just met a couple guys from there at yesterday's Super Happy Block Party Hackathon). I agree with you on making the homepa

Just today finished building my web app search engine and directory http://www.iwaat.com ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3784625 ). Still a ton of work and features left to build.

Hey HN, Here's the first version of my web app search engine and directory for which I would love to hear HN's opinion. Starting from Crunchbase's datafeed I've been working nights and weekends for the past couple months to clean and curate

I'll assume they're just doing a public service but a conspiracy theorist might say: A record of who's wireless routers are secured/unsecured would come in handy when a citizen is taken to court for seeding torrents.

So glad I work in an industry where I'm comfortable saying no if asked for my Facebook login, knowing I can then go talk to the next company down the street. I can't imagine being in the position where my college scholarship or only job op

I just went through the same transition. I moved from Los Angeles to San Francisco without my wife and 2 year old son. After driving down every other weekend for 6 months they're now up here with me. If your son is anything like mine he:

We can't ask "normal non-tech people" sites to go dark if we're not willing to ourselves. Even if few HNers will learn anything new it still sets a good example.

It's amazing how diverse each side is in terms of democrats vs. republicans considering how partisan every other recent issue has been. What's the dividing line? Education about tech and the internet maybe?

Defamation has always been an exception to free speech. It is also not a criminal offense so the government doesn't have the ability to use it for censorship. Cox is still free to write what she wants without repercussions from the govern

Only if you can clearly point out the section of the bill that would allow this to happen. Otherwise, FUD claims will kill all credibility and we'll have a Sarah Palin "Death Panels" situation.

I think it comes down to hardware vs. software. In the "PC" era your hardware was the sole determiner of what you could do with your machine. However, in the "Post PC" era the software has become just as important. Your tablet's API and

I don't know about lawsuits but I do expect increased lobbying of the state legislatures to make it illegal. They certainly won't just take these changes lying down.
