We're especially proud of our RSS support because not only can we combine multiple RSS feeds into one, you can bring other non-RSS sources into your superfeed (think Dropbox/Github/Evernote/etc...). You can browse a ton of them here: https

First of all: congrats on launching! 7 months is a long time, it has to feel good! A long time ago I built "squeeze page" manager which had an editor like this (it was simpler and more focused on content management). I sunk a lot of time

Really? Most folks just want to chart signups, lead submissions or similar in a time period. No uncertainty at all.

Sorry for the late reply! REST Hooks aren't really designed for browser consumption, you literally need a persistent connection to the browser to handle this. For a quick example of a solution you could build: consider a Node server with So

Author here, happy to answer questions. At Zapier we've seen lots of suggestions/specs for HTTP subscriptions, webhooks, and more but it seems the most obvious way to enable real-time in API is via another simple REST resource the encapsula

I would guess that most folks have already found some use for Redis already so its likely installed.

Most implementations store the salt with the hash itself. Take Django's storage of "password" for example: pbkdf2_sha256$10000$rdfyoPhMNhnC$3QEJ9hp0Qe68/p8+b1tVsYmNqVHiFrhmpWizXq+xQoo= Which of course stores it as: algo $ ite

One might easily take offense at your comment: > perhaps your people just don't have much exposure > new, serious platforms Both could have been omitted and your points would still have been valid. Anyways, I'm not advocating Django

It is highly unusual to use NoSQL as the main data store in Django (so much of the built-in functionality requires relational databases, so you end up net-negative). Most Django folks augment their relational database with some NoSQL bits.

Wonderful! I just want to extend a heartfelt "thank you" to all the guys and gals contributing to Django. Django is still a cornerstone of our startup and we're way past the point where folks have traditionally said "Django starts to constr

Thanks for the mention! :-)

Very cool! Dropbox still sorely needs event driven webhooks or a stream of sorts. Their /delta is solid but requires an insane amount of data to catch up if I just want notifications of recent changes.

I might really want to invest in you, so I'll blow the valuation up. I might even be the only person willing to pay that price. But that doesn't mean I want to buy you outright at the valuation.

Ah yes, this is exactly the annoying thing we want to avoid. I've reflected on my behavior in these instances and I often bounce instead of login, especially on mobile. Great link. Thanks!

Curious to see if others have their own suggestions. We've noticed that if we not pretty vigilant about it, the creep factor sets in and suddenly there are lots of weird things happening around micro-features.

I think a key take away is that film isn't supposed to be hyper realistic. When there are dragons on the screen, a slightly slower refreshed image for your eyes simply aids in the suspension of disbelief. Of course, its easy to say "you a

I don't really think that is something to be worried about. Most of these people aren't coders by profession, they just want some little customizations to whatever form or theme they happen to be using. A good parallel for your comment woul

Don't forget, BCC A/B test results are usually posted here: http://www.bingocardcreator.com/abingo/results (though I am not sure if it is up to date). Good for a few little "sparks" to finally get you testing something.

Smart hackers are in really high demand so this shouldn't be that big of a problem. Talk to a few companies that do interesting things. Most are hiring.

Thanks for the response. I just signed up fresh to Mixpanel to play around and you guys have solid technical on-boarding around just installing and collecting any data, but not a lot of details on what to collect. I'm sure that getting

I really love Mixpanel, it is the "best in breed" when it comes to event analytics. I don't think many people would argue with that, it's awesome. In fact, we use it at Zapier for pretty much everything (basic funnels, A/B testing, retentio

I've not seen this at all. In my experience, most open source project leaders are very congenial and gracious that you're spending time on their project. I did some poking around and couldn't find any OSS leads that disparaged their con

I am not a part of the Semantria team, instead I'm a Zapier cofounder (we offer some simple piping or glue that makes it easy to move data between APIs without code). Happy to put you in touch with the Semantria guys, they are very knowledg

Although I understand the sentiment, I think it is in poor taste to compare Olark, a very reputable company with a solid track record, with whatever that fly-by-night company is doing.
