Late to the convo, but you might want to reach out to the guys at Thoughtbot. They've had good success with their apprenticeship program. apprentice.io

Good to see CSS control is coming soon. I think that's pretty key.

P.S. I shared this with the Maxwell School alumni group on LinkedIn, so hopefully that drives some traffic your way! I think that my fellow MPA alums will dig it.

I absolutely love this. I'm learning to code (slowly) and have an infatuation with data visualization. I've imagined what something like this might look like, and I think you guys absolutely nailed it. Well done!

I really like it and can see myself using it (future notes is a killer feature), but I'm not a fan of the background either. I'd use one of these: subtlepatterns.com Maybe fix the logo and navigation to the top of the page.

Having worked on actual legislative and regulatory amendments, this would be useful simply for collating input of stakeholders. One example would be regulatory comment periods.

Maybe a bigger submit button for updating the status. It's kind of hidden down in the corner below the share links.

Wait... I believe I just answered part of my feedback. I see it automatically adds a category once I add a car. That's cool. In that case, that should be almost the first thing the user does. The form when you sign up is really scary lookin

It's a good idea in general, but the reason that these automotive forums have persisted virtually unchanged since 1998 is because they're sitting on a tremendous knowledge base that you can search. If you can figure out a way to get these f

Part of what makes it awkward is that it appeals to me in the sense that it takes the b.s. factor out of telling people what your good at, while at the same time requires requiring you to ask others what they think you're good at. I think p

You should connect with LinkedIn and Facebook to pull interests from those sites to prepopulate the page.

I feel weird using this as an individual, but I think it would be awesome to use for a business. I'm sure that's on the roadmap though ;-)

I think the idea is that someone could say they're great at writing grant proposals, but it carries a lot more weight when it's confirmed by others. Seems like it would be a nice simple way to confirm your talents to prospective employers a

Can the user kill a tag? Do they have the ability to screen tags? For example, I can review a recommendation on LinkedIn before it's posted to my profile.

Really cool. It reminds me of a project my brother-in-law did to receive an SMS when the Ph levels in his salt water aquarium change.

Thanks! As were your comments! I admittedly glossed over these issues in the post, but I didn't want to dwell on them because I thought it might detract from the overall message. I kind of did that anyways though. I like HN because the qual

And yet he seems to argue that the sort of world changing things we need aren't in the wheelhouse of startups, in the internet/mobile sense, which are the sort of startups that Phil Libin argued should only be done if you mean to change the

That would be the case if there were any for profit startups that were actually saving lives, but most startups that are relevant to this forum are making life, at best, marginally better for the privileged class, which can conveniently be

No, I think I quite understand their world changing impact, but those are two examples of the very few companies that have reached the sort of scale where they actually change the world. They represent the vast minority of successful startu

Great resource. I generally agree and spotted that flaw in my logic as I wrote it, but it wasn't the point of the piece so I left it. There's plenty of ways to change the world, not all relating to charity. My point was that if you want to

1. Yes. 2. I don't think of the ones based on charity. The ones that come to mind are Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, and AOL (in its day). My point was just that there are other ways to change the world. I used a poor and overdone exampl

Looked at this last week. Seems great and get's points for not being Bootstrappy. In the end, I ended up using Bootstrap and dealing with the hassle of digging through the CSS to get a less bootstrappy look so I could use the handy Javascri

The idea is to fake the UX without storing anything permanently. Generate a temporary ID to store data to while the user is playing with the site. If they've added ideas they want to save permanently, overwrite the temporary ID with the new

+1 for this. I'm a big fan of the pocket notebook. Having this as an iphone app is a natural extension of that idea.
