I'm in roughly the same boat though rather than "take their job" I was trying to create a new position and split the existing team in two. Ultimately this hasn't worked out (the conversation has been going on for months

You mention backlinks for seo. I would expect most submission based websites use nofollow links thus providing no link juice. Can you comment on how many of these 100 sites do or do not use nofollow links?

If you're talking about B2B it's not just subscriptions - any continuous relationship can be a good fit for direct debits. For example many breweries in Ireland will sign up their clients (i.e. pubs and off-licenses) via direct de

With regards to Classics, the "You're probably using the wrong dictionary" blog post at http://jsomers.net/blog/dictionary was probably the most interesting pieces I've read on HN.

Love what you're doing but I've always thought of your site as more of a "Lifestyle Porn" niche. Similar in a way to the money moustache guy who retired really early. Most people aren't going to actually try for the

Pulling and pushing doors is what always gets me. I had a friend I did an interhship with for half a year and he'd always get a kick out of my inability to use doors in work correctly even when it said pull/push on it. Mixing up m

I'm a big fan of bookmarking but I found the browser features didn't fit my needs all that well. So I built my own browser extension which I really like. Hasn't taken off at all and development has kind of stopped for the tim

Thank for the kind words. We actually also try and cater for folks who are doing a more typical approach to online shopping (e.g. a desk lamp). The set design is a nice way of showcasing the product in use.

Sounds interesting. Is it more for creative writing or more business oriented? I'm signed up in any case.

I'm no lawyer but Direct Marketing is a specific term and not just two words put together. I'd typically interpret it as spam but for a legitimate product/company such that it has some legitimacy. The snail mail equivalent of

Typically how long are your emails? I do a bit of outreach for the startup I'm involved in but I never know whether to keep it as short as possible or whether to have a bit of bulk while trying to keep it concise.

They sent out personalized emails to single recipients who might have an interest in what they're doing. That is the opposite of spam. Unsolicited is not necessarily bad. To anyone who is just involved with communicating internally or

The Koa web framework built by the guys behind Express is pretty neat. You can do stack like calls with it, rather than callbacks, via generator functions. Not sure what the uptake is like but you can find more at http://koajs.co

This is the second political post I've seen sky rocket on HN this morning. I assume a mod intervened on the last one since it disappeared rather quickly. Do we really want to start political discussions in HN? Politics creates enough f

That's a good way of articulating the issue. There is something particularly sinister about your OS gathering your data. You can switch out any other software for an alternative but changing OS is a whole other ball game (and one only

I'm a massive fan of .NET and MVC as a development stack and think VS is the bees knees when it comes to my IDE (with a Vi plugin of course). But I'm hugely excited about .NET Core for the sole reason of abandoning the Windows OS.

Personally I have a lot of anxiety when discussing something when the original idea was mine. Where as if I discuss something that I made but the original idea was somebody else's I don't get anxious. I guess that just how I work.

Just to add my 2c. About a year ago, someone submitted us to PH after I had submitted our site to Show HN. We ended up as the second highest product of the day. I didn't even know we'd been submitted until my co-founder mentioned

I did just that about a year ago. I moved over from a an MS stack to a Linux/Node/Postgres stack. And while I finally got the damn product shipped - it was a terrible idea to change my tooling/environment so dramatcially. Eve

Unless you're automating emails surely that's plenty? Or do multiple recipients on an single email each count towards the limit? I can't say email limits are ever something I've thought about.

I understand why you put in the drawbacks section, I know that kind of anti-marketing can work. But it's a little too honest - nobody wants to read that their emails might end up as junk mail. Maybe be a bit more vague. Or if you&#x27

Thanks for the feedback. What I'll probably do next is implement some form of post-install instructions (short and concise). And I also need to somehow display the hotkeys since the extension was designed with the idea that the core us

Bookmarks are stored in a postgres database in the AWS EU West 1 region (Ireland). And yes, import/export is possible. Just go to the settings page in the application. One thing to note, since devmark doesn't use a folder hierarch

Submitter here. The extension is just for chrome at the moment. I've been using this myself for the last 12 months roughly (when it was 90% complete) and only got around to finishing it off recently. Main things about it are: it uses a
