   The EFF gives out stickers for this purpose to its donors. You might want to contact them and offer your thing (though I agree with other comments that you're making a solution to a problem that's solved more easily and cheaply in

   I had a successful "Show HN" a year and a half ago: 482 upvotes, lots of positive comments about my site. It even (tangentially) led to some business partnerships. Here's what I think made it work: * Above all, a good product

   I did (some of) this with chicagocrime.org in 2005... :-) ...and I've since learned the error of my ways. It's just too misleading to do these types of overly simplistic data reports. The data set is flawed in many ways, including

   Wow, thanks for posting. Bringing the topic back to startups/tech, I'd love to integrate these performances with my interactive sheet music player, Soundslice ( http://www.soundslice.com/ ). It would be amazing.

   By far the best thing we did with Django in the early days was to have a beautifully designed site. I think a lot of people started using the framework because the site looked great.

   I love Gonzalo and Adrien! Two of my favorite guitarists, and they're super nice people. I'm always amused when worlds collide (Django the framework, Django the musician, Soundslice the product). Thanks for the nice words. :)

   Yes, you're exactly right about how it works. We'll be adding other soundfonts soon. Piano worked the best for launch, but it'd definitely be better with instrument-appropriate sounds. Adrian @ Soundslice

    Not just guitar. Any instrument whose sounds can be expressed in sheet music, so basically any mainstream instrument. :-)

    We've built a sheet-music rendering engine in JavaScript/HTML5. It syncs real audio with sheet music and is intended to be the best way to learn a song. Here's a quick video demo I made: http://www.youtube.com&#x2F

    Hey, thanks! We'll likely eventually do that, but it's low on the priority list. There are some more structured formats (e.g., Guitar Pro) that we're doing first.

    Amateur guitarists can't read sheet music, so they use tablature. But online tablature sucks. Soundslice: http://www.soundslice.com/

    Great to see this. I've been using StatHat for a while now, tracking various analytics for http://www.soundslice.com/ such as number of signups per day, etc. It's great for ad hoc stats.

    Postgres actually cares about your data. Perhaps you mistakenly insert "2013-10-32" into a date column. MySQL will silently convert this to "0000-00-00" (!!). Postgres will raise an error. Perhaps you make an error in a

    This is HUGE! I'm using the AWS stack for http://www.soundslice.com/ and I've been using MySQL instead of Postgres, purely because my hatred for MySQL is less than my hatred for being a sysadmin. It was a tradeoff
