   Thanks for the link... and yes, launchly is run on Heroku and yes they rock! :-)

   Then try thinking outside the box a bit, something like card.ly did for their online business cards site could work.

   Heroku... After that I'm a bit partial to launchly but that's probably because it's mine. :-)

   You seem to have a broken image (actually it's an empty img tag) on your landing page. It also looks a bit oddly formatted at least on my Mac w/FF 3.5. You might want to consider adding your site to my new startup, launchly, for additional

   From a development standpoint, no. But I used to work for a company that did this because they wanted to make it as easy as possible for their users to recover their passwords... by emailing it to them...

   I hate statistics. Seriously you can just about link anything to anything. I should create a study linking writing Ruby code to increased sex appeal.

    I cry and hope it magically happens while I'm not looking. But seriously I have not really addressed i18n in my apps yet. I would say how you go about it is going to depend at least a bit on your framework/programming language. I'm using

    Are you sure you're not going overboard with that? Is spam that much of a problem for your site that this is necessary? I've never been a big fan of throwing up too many roadblocks to real people to keep out the minority of spammers. If y

    Nicely done site. Love the layout and design. Very clear what you offer on the landing page. The tour was also nicely accessible. I didn't sign up because I don't really have any events to plan right now. As an aside, my site, launchly

    Another vote for jquery. It makes javascript not suck (or at least suck less).

    What kind of site is it? An obviously important aspect that you didn't mention is building a site that people will be interested in and care about... If nobody cares about what you made then all the ads, SEO tricks, and blogging in the wor

    I don't think anyone should be faulting the advertisers. Some of the may not even know what's going on yet. Others may have advertising contracts in place that extend well into the future. They're not advertising on TechCrunch to support

    I try to be agile even when working alone. It certainly makes pairing interesting! I use PivotalTracker to manage things.

    Interesting list and doesn't have much overlap with mine. What sites would you categorize as "Acquiring Things" and "Fixing Things"?

    Ask HN: What would you say are the most common website "categories"?

    Depends what you're trying to track I suppose but I use Pivotal Tracker for everything I work on (programming-wise) pretty much.

    Video/cameras is pretty easy these days since there are a variety of wireless, networked cameras that provide their own web access so you can view them anywhere in the world. It's been awhile since I was researching alarm integration but fo

    Clickable: http://twitterrsslinks.com/ Potentially useful and I haven't personally seen something like this before so that's always good. It would be nice if you expanded the shortened URLs in the RSS feeds since they are not bound by th

    It depends on what you're trying to get out of it IMO. If you're looking for early-stage active feedback on your site I would have to suggest my own app, http://www.launchly.com . If you're looking for more passive/general/long-term feedba

    Riiight... except this really doesn't have anything to do with cloud computing. This has to do with hackers breaking into systems which was very common prior to cloud computing and it has to do with corporate espionage prior to that before

    I'm strongly of the opinion that they shouldn't post them... Just seems like bad karma at the least or a potential legal problem at the worst.

    Very cool. Nice to see some other options in this field. I have used userfly in the past and was not very impressed. I am currently using CrazyEgg and think this is more of a competitor to that than to userfly. The site looked very clea

    Why weren't you tempted to look at them? Were the sites themselves lacking in quality? Were they not presented well enough by launchly?

    Thanks for the additional explanation! I see what you mean and the babysitting analogy is pretty good haha. So what brings you into a community? You didn't know people at HN when you started I assume... Maybe not requiring local launchly

    Yah, the feedback is threaded for each site just like HN posts are so it is a discussion back and forth between site owners and those that give feedback. You can also vote the comments up (with the Like link) similar to the points on HN bu
