I understand now about the hyperlinks. Just checked google.com and it has the same behavior. Blue links and underline on hover. :-) Feedback noted.

Wow, thanks for taking the time out! Couple of Questions: - Why do you suggest taking the copyright out? - I thought hyperlinks should follow typical convention, people are used to clicking them.

Thank you. Feedback noted. I kinda like the pink :-)

We are still arriving at a good pricing model. Right now we charge from $5.5 to $30 for professional CA support. (CA in India is similar to a CPA in the US)

Mikael, Can you elaborate a little bit on what you mean by "dressed up". I am looking for feedback here :-) Yes its mostly a developer driven UI. About Help Section: I am continuously building out the help section from what people ask on ou

India is attempting to simplify the tax code a whole lot. The government was trying to remove some of the complex tax deductions scenarios. There was a lot of hue and cry from the people affected. The government backed off and kept the dedu

About the video: We had a really awesome intern - Ayush who created the video. I am waiting for him to graduate to hire him (for reasons besides shooting a great video) The story is a bit contrived ;)

Actually I lived in the US for 5 years. My tax return was fairly simple - but TurboTax asked a lot more questions to maximize deductions and tax credits (which were not applicable to me) We have made an "opinionated" UI where we show only t

Thanks. I'll fix that!

Nevertheless, your views on Node.js has made me very curious and I will investigate. I have another question - I'll google if you don't get a chance to answer - how do rails and node.js play together? (real world experience)

Why is this downvoted?

Yes I use Migrator.NET as well. Works pretty well for us (no active development on this project though - there are github forks now). I definitely cannot afford Red Gate's prices until funding.

Thank you both. I was ignorant of Sinatra and Datamapper. (Apparently the 'razor' syntax is inspired from HAML in .net, so I think I get what you are saying)

Startup. Not looking for a job. Looking to figure out what the best hackers in the world think are good tools to use and then start using those. (Since I have to most-likely learn new tools anyway). Reading HN, it seems people work with Rai

To clarify - I meant I am not partial to either language (as in I don't grok either very well). I have mostly scripted in Python and some in Ruby (for some existing codebase). Not anything significant.

Dapper's first public domain checkin is on 31st march 2011. That's very bleeding edge adoption :-) I didn't find myself productive in Linq-to-sql. (Must explore Fluent NHibernate, in our project we were too far along to invest in a new ORM)

Interesting. Mostly when I have tried to understand this (recently), the answers have been religious in tone and nature. To answer your question to some degree - the app is primarily user facing. I would also want analytics and a dashboard

I am neutral. (I don't grok either right now is the more accurate answer) Language wise - I like being able to keep stuff 'typed' once the code base stabilizes a bit. Steve Yegge apart ;) ORM - major issue has been migrations with .NET stuf

What's your experience with migrations? Non-trivial ones where SchemaUpdate doesn't work..

Migrations aren't a particularly solved problem in .NET imo. (Bad previous experience with nhibernate and migrations of our team member made us skip it) Currently, we are using MigratorDotNet (it meant writing sql to define Up and Down manu

Ask HN: Experienced C programmer, new to web, which language/framework to use?
