What part of NE Oklahoma are you from? My daughter grew up in Grove so I spent a lot of time there visiting her. Praying and pitching in as much as I can.

I do a fair amount of web scraping with Ruby. Can anyone who has dabbled in both weigh in? Does Python offer superior libraries/tools?

For those that aren't aware, there is a growing class of lead-generation startups which scrape websites and determine what services you're using. My guess is that the company that contacted you is using one of these (Stripe requir

Did you read my post? This is my daughter's idea. I actually have 4 kids (age 5, 7, 9, and 19). My wife and I go on dates weekly so I'm confident I fit the target market :) When we lived in Oregon we used a sitter service that wou

Still thinking through the review process. I guess it's tough because, unlike Uber, you're not around. Thinking of my own experience (my non-adult kids are 5, 7, and 9). At that age, you can get some feedback from the kids after.

Thanks for the thorough reply. We hadn't thought about newborns so maybe it would be best to start with a lower age limit. We were just chatting about the trust factor, which is clearly the biggest issue. Here's a couple additiona

This sort of reminds me of the services that would help you sell your crap on Ebay back in the day. Or even agencies that help manage your AdWords campaigns. On one hand, I think we'll see more of these "management layer" bus

This is cool, thanks for building this. Besides analytics, seems like this could help SaaS products that want to offer a trial or demo without ever creating an account up front–just spin up an account on the fly with the uid. If they actual

Can someone please explain the "GrubHub Seamless" name? It is, in my opinion, a horrible name (either separately is fine). Is it just the corporate name? Is it from a merger of two egos and neither would give? Or is it some region
