Now this is a bit random but many years ago I run into a Dutch couple running some kind of wildlife farm in Ghana. When they found out I was geekish they said a relative of theirs was big in the open source world. Turned out to be Bram. I

Brilliant!! Thank you @samwillis. This is exactly what HN is great at. Don't know how else I would have found him. I love the fact that he had a vision and went off to develop it in isolation. I feel today's obsession with &quo

Well spotted!! My degree was in African Studies and I remember one of the first lectures talked about a famous Oxford historian (Hugh Trevor Roper?) who said something like - there is no history in Africa, only the wild gyrations of savage

BTW, I feel some affinity for this just because I've been listening to Caleb Porzio's awesome "no plans to merge" podcast for so long. Good blend of entertaining and educational.

Caddy is awesome. Personally, I'm delighted with it and I'm glad Matt is here promoting it. The more people use it the better it gets. Thanks for an awesome product Matt!!

So, some explanation is due here. My site is not ready for a public launch yet - I just made this post because of what I found out from testing with a small number of my friends. A few people followed my profile to find out what I am work

Good luck. If you decide to work on something in the real estate space, give me a shout ;)

Yeah, I didn't do a good job with the propertywebbuilder landing page. With propertysquares I paid a lot less attention to the landing page and found I was getting much better engagement!

Damn, I didn't think this post would get so popular. I actually forgot to update my profile here. My current project is https://propertysquares.com :(

I should have phrased it better. By "better" landing pages I meant more polished with well thought out fonts, colors, text etc.

Yeah, I probably should. In any case for the next Show HN I do I think I will deliberately have a lofi landing page and see how that goes ;)
