Perfect, thanks for sorting that Zapt. Sorting out iTunes in the next 24 hours :)

Agreed giarc! Our favourite podcasts are short and to the point, we think this works best for everyone :)

Yep, a lesson for sure! Honestly we just had an emphasis on getting the ball rolling and working it out as we go, rather than trying to get our ducks in a line first. I think that approach is a good baseline, emphasis on shipping, but it wo

Ok just fixed this, you have to tell soundcloud you want the items in the RSS feed. Strange. RSS feed should now work: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:245437295...

Dang, thanks for the heads up :( Hmm I need to dig into this. I'll take a look

So I just hacked in a super obvious link to the RSS feed on the page. https://hitreply.co/ep/0/yet-another-startup-podcast/ Hope that helps!

Hey you're right Raoul. We missed a trick here, but honestly didn't expect to be up here on the homepage here just yet! Next biggest priority is to sort this out. In the meantime, here's our Soundcloud RSS. http://

Thanks renolc, appreciate the advice here. Honestly as we only launched yesterday I hadn't gotten round to submitting to the platforms just yet. I only posted on here on a whim, I didn't expect to be towards the top of the homepag

Totally agree CC. That is probably my all time favourite podcast, just ahead of Serial, and Justin Jacksons MegaMaker https://serialpodcast.org/season-one http://megamaker.co/

Hey Zapt02. Great to hear you want to subscribe! We literally launched yesterday and haven't got it out there on the different platforms yet. There are two options here: 1. We send out a really small, simple weekly email with the podca

Hey all, Super excited (and only a tad nervous) to announce our new podcast, Hit Reply Hit Reply is a new show that gives you an inside view on what it's like to start a startup. We will be sharing the lessons we've learnt going f

Email, and making email better, is a topic everyone connected to the internet should care about. I know I do. I'm especially intrigued by how email can be tailored to different needs. Whilst I'm not in sales, I can see the value h

Sorry to hear that Splendor, that's properly bad. I'll look into this.

Haha yep! Its a cool idea. Marc's got a good network though, which helps when you're starting out with a product like that. Gotta avoid the tumbleweed effect at all costs.

It's currently unique visitors. So, if you refresh the page, it doesn't increment the counter, as it knows you've already been logged. So it's visitors, rather than visits.

Yep, those are the main sites. We only bought bycontrast.co at the weekend, need to setup a redirect there! :)

Perfect, thanks Mosselman. Will take a look!

Not currently, but we may do that soon. Having only built this last weekend we haven't stopped to consider the options around open sourcing yet.

I think there's room for adding style around substance, but not if it causes issues. I wasn't aware of the performance issues, but now I know I'll be sure to look at this when I get home from work.

I think there's some value to see other options solving a similar problem, but I agree the "that already exists" mantra is pretty limited. For a long time we never shipped anything due to the need to try and make the next Fac

This is a simple way to display the counter to your users. GA is for internal use, whereas this shows how popular your site is at any time.

Hmm, could be. It might be the CSS animations on the numbers on the homepage there. I'll look into it. Thanks for the heads up

There's nearly always existing solutions to problems. From my experience, if they're not well known enough, that's a good enough reason to build something. There's still space in that area. For us, this was just a fun ha

We saw 2 people request some form of site counter in the past few weeks, which was enough for us to spend a weekend hacking on it. Who knows whether anyone will actually use it. There's also a leaderboard, to track who does. https:&#x
