   can't tell from this, but will existing Postgres databases at Heroku be automatically upgraded, or do you need to provision a new instance and migrate the data?

   A loooong time. :). 5 months to feel comfortable launching the first sites - but keep in mind this was working nights and weekends only along with juggling kids and family life. Another 2 months to get it to the point I felt comfortable sub

   Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear. This is the first and only payment model. I meant that I used to run my own niche job boards with a different provider which took a rev share. I built this platform as a result of wanting to get away from that

   I used to rely on a 3rd party platform (named elsewhere in this thread) - they took a cut (50%) of the job ad sales - and it bothered me. Was fine when I was experimenting of course, but not when I showed any degree of success. I'm not in

   Thanks. Also keep in mind one of the largest competitors in the space (Jobamatic) takes 50% of your job posting revenues. So selling one $99 job listing is the same as the low end $49/mo plan. Have any degree of success and you are quick

    I'm sure I could make this work. Quick hack would be to give you some CSS to hide the Post button/links and you could post via the URL. I can then make that an option (to hide the post links) via the admin panel in the long term and give

    Thanks for the feedback. Search(text and geo) are on the list but lower down. Niche job boards tend to have a smaller number of listings, so the need to do lots of filtering/sorting is not as crucial as larger, less focused sites. You are

    It supports subdomains and primary domains. I'm not aware of how a hosted platform could work as a subfolder - but if it's possible I'm sure we could support it.

    Kinda meh, I suppose. I suspect the primary perceived benefit was for SEO, and with Google Exact Match Domain penalty/update - that benefit is gone.

    I just reviewed the site as well - REALLY nicely done (both .test and www). I've passed it on to a few friends of mine who are literary fanatics, i'm sure they'll find it useful as well. Hope you launch the new site soon!
