Thanks, that's a good point. I've updated the promotional page a bit to discuss the specific pain points that I've experienced with GoDaddy that I am trying to solve with DNSimple. I'm open to suggestions for more though. :-)

DNSimple uses Enom as it's accredited registrar.

First thanks to everyone who has provided or will provide feedback, comments, etc, even if they're negative towards DNSimple. I'm one of the two guys behind DNSimple and I just want to take a moment to explain what you get and why I think t

As a father of triplets + a 2-and-half-year-old I must wholeheartedly agree.

Want. It brings back memories of being 10 and racing slot cars, although I never raced on such an amazing track.

I had my son (who is 9) do the first exercise and he had no problems with it. I on the other hand can barely get my feet off the ground without it killing my wrists. It's an interesting approach to working on the core muscles using your own

Yes, you should make the font size larger.

About.me is another example of an entity that is differentiating, specifically by focusing on the analytics side of your personal brand. FWIW, I'm not sure if any of these companies are actually going to find a way to profitability.

photon_off, I went and looked for submissions from you and the last one appears to have been 7 days ago. Am I missing something?

The market is fairly saturated with sites like this, not only from the big players like Google and Facebook, but also from a lot of niche players like flavors.me, hi.im and even a product that I worked on called chi.mp. Given that there are

Given your inexperience and the fact that you can continue working on the project on the side (make sure that is in any employment contract you sign, explicitly called out) I personally think you should take the job. Use it as a learning op

I don't get it. Is it a joke, a parody, or something real? Does it even matter?

If you want to interact with customers find a way to spend some time as a customer support agent. It's an enlightening experience and can often be a good way to grasp how different people are when it comes to how they use computers. As for

I tried it in both Safari and Google Chrome on OS X and it says it isn't available for my platform. A bit of a letdown.

Yeah, I can see the value in that. Right now the minimum can be 1 minute at DNSimple, which I figure is low enough for most cases. :-)

I think you mean TTL (time to live) not TTY, right? 5 seconds is super short, but if you're doing dynamic DNS update I suppose it makes sense.

For low volume sites the benefit to using hosted DNS usually comes in an improved interface, an API or other features that make managing DNS easier than it would be through a hosting services DNS management interfaces. In many cases it's no

Good on ya for 1.) asking and 2.) executing. Most people don't even get to item 1.

Nope, you should be able to begin using the API immediately upon signing up.

Just recently I launched http://dnsimple.com/ since I was fed up with GoDaddy and decided that I never wanted to use them again in my life, and I knew others felt the same way. DNSimple has an easy to use web interface, a REST API for dom

"You will want to be very, very careful with that." You're right. You probably want to find a good tax attorney or accountant that is well-versed in the tax laws and treaties of any and all countries you plan on spending time in, especially

What language are you developing in? I think that some languages (like Java and C#) really require an IDE to be effective, whereas others (like Ruby and Python) do not require an IDE. Personally I do mostly Ruby development, so I use VIM pl

Get a job and continue to earn money while working on your project on the side at first. You have more energy than money right now, so use that to your advantage.

If you see a need, then do it, but do it cheap so you can fail without causing any long term damage to your finances. Most likely you'll fail (most companies do after all) so doing it cheap and failing fast are both useful and pragmatic. If

I'd recommend you don't start with EC2, it's too expensive for what you get. Go to Linode or even a VPS provider. Look for the least expensive thing you can use while still operating. Second, use something like Chef to define your operation

OneSocialWeb would seem to be the next most significant project. IMO, they have a leg up since they started with XMPP and have released code as well. I see junk in the code as well (like catching and swallowing exceptions) but then what cod
