   Right now the plan is to email you max once a week - most of my early users hated email, so it was a matter of finding a balance between "I am putting something in your inbox" and "I am doing my best to not annoy you". Once a week seemed be

   Hand-tagged MP3s are a problem, but it looks like I have some bugs in my scanning logic that are creating more false positives than I'd like. I've been collecting library.xml files to try and track it down - if you want to help out, send yo

   You know, I had a tester point out to me that this could be a problem - this is what I get for thinking he was nuts. Thanks for pointing this out.

   Fair enough. When you select a file, you want to upload your iTunes Music Library.xml file - this is a paste of a small one: https://gist.github.com/d61db3dcfd07ad093abf . It doesn't look like there are any DRM keys, but if you're worried

   Here's a paste of a small library.xml file: https://gist.github.com/d61db3dcfd07ad093abf Looking at it quickly, I can get some idea of how your filesystem is laid out (or at least how iTunes thinks it is), as well as probably guessing you

   Cool - but if you're tracking things on Spotify, why do I need a Songkick account in order to import my artists? Does Spotify's API not do this for you?

   Thanks for the heads up - I'll be deploying the change shortly.

   Bug - that's what I get for trying to style a file input. Try clicking just to the left or right of it.

   I was surprised too, but it is actually a music player that some of my early testers use: http://www.foobar2000.org/ .

    So you're showing us...a landing page?

    It's not quite the command bar, but GitHub's search box uses OpenSearch and Chrome picks it up. You should be able to type `github.com`, hit tab, and then search GitHub.

    I respectfully disagree with you. :) When I encounter a site with Bootstrap showing, I don't think "oh, this person doesn't care about the value of having a custom UI, or doesn't know how to sell their product" - I think "this person knows

    I'd argue that the waste occurs when you take more than you need - making too much of something isn't waste unless you don't keep your leftovers.

    If you have to do it, that's probably the least offensive option.

    I find it extremely annoying - if I'd known about it beforehand, I wouldn't have bought the book. It's intrusive, doesn't add anything to the reading experience, and communicates that you don't trust me enough to not watermark something I p

    Just a heads-up: when you buy the book, the PDF will be watermarked with your name, email address, and transaction ID in the footer of every page.

    I checked out the new page with the extra information, and a new question formed: why so many brands for the shirts? Typically I'm used to seeing a shirt shop just say "we print on American Apparel".

    Step back and examine your life, and you'll find tons of stuff once you think about it. For example, poking through your history I discovered that you've been through an acquisition: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4329721 . It probabl

    Build things. Even if you're "doing it wrong" - you're still learning about how to build the things you want to. As long as you keep building things and keep looking for ways to improve the way you build things, you'll learn. The trick is j

    Dropbox has an API that will (theoretically) let you do this, but there hasn't been a ton of people jumping up and implementing it yet. It'll be cool when it shows up.

    I'm curious: why no PayPal? Unless I'm misreading your tone it sounds like you're pretty adamant about NOT supporting a comic through PayPal. Why?

    I'm told that if you ask nicely, you can get the limit bumped up to 200 or 300 devices - failing that, you could also get an enterprise license (which has no device restrictions).

    This already basically exists with the adhoc system. For $99/year, I can load up to 100 devices with anything I sign with my certificate, no app store required.
