You read my mind! For "contacting your potential customers ... to validate and get feedback on your idea," I'm currently working on http://www.petriapp.com/ . In short, it's a tool that provides automated coaching to help people with idea

I don't know anything about this. If someone could provide some details/resources around this I'm sure it would be valuable to folks right now who need to evaluate the risks of switching providers on a short-term basis. (For us in particula

This was a Heroku win for us. I just visited their add-ons page, identified a comparable provider, and restored mail in our application with the following: heroku addons:add mailgun:basic heroku addons:docs mailgun:basic vim c

I hadn't heard of PlaceIt before. Thanks for mentioning it! I love how laid back their attribution policy is: http://breezi.com/blog/using-placeit-images-for-commercial-p... .

"But take a closer look, and you'll see that the time is simply being moved around." No, it's not. Manual effort is being automated. That manual effort includes calling to remembrance a list of gems, looking up their installation instructio

Many consulting companies and freelancers spin up projects on a regular basis. My experience working in an environment like that was that having an in-house generator saved time in the long run. Same goes for developers who spin up lots of

Hmm. Thanks for the tip! So, I'm setting: data-panel-label="Begin Free Trial" But on the button I'm still seeing: Begin Free Trial $20.00 Not sure if this is the intended behavior, but I just can't see how it makes sense for a

I don't want "innovative advertising that feels appropriate on Instagram" any more than I want what Facebook has done with advertising in my timeline. Please just give me an option to pay a monthly fee to turn all that garbage off.

Since you asked, and because it's ridiculous, and because it's rare to have such a great opportunity to mention it: I have an T-shirt/undershirt that I still wear that I've had and worn since 1994. It was written on as an activity at camp a

Please go through and compare the two pages section by section and by the end of the page I think you'll see that the design is not just inspired by Nathan's page, but an unattributed derivative work.

Just on the point about upgrading, I can remember between two versions of Bootstrap where markup changes were required in order for the site to function properly with the new release, and no backwards compatibility was provided. Unless some

by aculver 14y ago
Here's a different perspective: Bootstrap is evolving as a clean-cut UI framework that can be reliably extended when you stick to its conventions (nonsemantic markup and all.) That's why this list is so massive. Like any framework, I woul

Yeah, lots of VPN services let you do this. However, it becomes hard to do at scale because some of the services like Netflix, Hulu, etc. work to actively block IP addresses that represent anonymous proxies/VPNs[1]. For example, I was unabl

Great thoughts. Very happy for your family that you came through this successfully. Lots to be thankful for there. So, I've seen a couple of your comments on HN in the past, and just wanted to mention it would be helpful if you had some con

Awesome. There was a little bit of discussion here about the winner ( http://findthin.gs/ ) a few days ago at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4659320 . I have to say that I was really surprised with the prizes described at http://blo

I posted this on HN hoping it would generate some meaningful/educated discussion on the topic. I'm really curious what the collective wisdom is here on SEO topics.

I recommend getting this in the App Store so musicians can start using this. Even for a very simple version, charge at least $1.99.[1] Don't over engineer it in terms of features within the app, but make sure the core functionality works as

I love this. In years past, Dalton and his team were able to raise millions in funding from a top-tier venture capital firm. But raising $500,000 in revenue from his target customers, that's a whole different ball game! Super excited to s

Yeah, I agree with this. I still like seeing the discussion here, since I'll concede that there may be some special circumstances and constraints that lead a developer or team to go with one of these cross-platform UI toolkits, but I think
