ScriptCat http://www.scriptcat.io Currently it's a "pingdom for ports", and emails you if a new port opens up on your server. I'm working on making it a fuzzer for basic web vulnerabilities that automatically

I've been wanting to put "Time's Person of the Year 2006" as an award for a while now. Though, if I thought of it, I'm sure it's not exactly original.

The problem with the encryption conversation, is that they believe people more knowledgeable than myself are dealing with it. I demonstrated its importance, and they see how necessary it is. But when I say the kinds of changes being propose

My parents are okay with mass surveillance. I've tried running them through how it actually works, but it turned out that they really don't seem to care about this kind of privacy. They are very much about the idea that "if i

Looking at this article more, it does seem more likely that this is an attempt at some weird anti-abortion propaganda. That being said, I still think it's an interesting concept. I don't think that the AI assuming personhood of a

I didn't see it as anti-choice. The explanation and reality-show aspect seemed a little dumb, but I thought the core idea was really intriguing. I feel like in Sci-Fi, there's often this dynamic between Creator/AI as a Parent

Thanks for the invite! If I get invites, I'll update so I can send them out as well.

Recently my car battery died on a side-street without much through-traffic. No one else I know has a car (I live in NYC), so I had to call someone to jump it for me. It cost $75. The guy used a portable jump-starter, which I'd never se

That's the one! I'm glad you like it :) I think talking to businesses personally would be great, but I wouldn't even know where to start with that. Do you have any suggestions? (books, articles, personal experience?)

by griffinmb 11y ago
That would be great! I'm at work now, so I'll shoot you an email tonight (I'm assuming it's the one in your profile?).

Thanks for the suggestions, I just added 'em :)

Wow, thanks for the great info! I just bought the book, I'm excited to get into it. Your ISP suggestion is really interesting... it's got me thinking about a lot of channels/partnerships I hadn't even considered.

Nice, thanks for the tip!

I want to reply to afarrell, but I can't. I think going to meetups would be great! That might actually be my best bet since it's person-to-person and majority technical. It's definitely the target audience at least. My site i

Hey! Thank you! I limited the number of sites you can add by default to discourage malicious use -- I've updated your account so you can have 10. Let me know if you need more!

Thanks for taking a look at it! I like the idea of "native" promotion, and I think you just made me realize another problem I have -- I'm not actually sure who my best customers could be. I've just thought of it very bro

I pretty much immediately dropped the idea of advertising without even looking into it, mostly because it's currently a completely free tool. But I didn't realize it was that affordable. I may actually look into that now! Congrats

My first step after getting that one user was to "do things that don't scale". So I sent him/her a personal email letting them know I hoped they found the service helpful, and that I'd be happy to help out in any wa

That's a really interesting point. Maybe "hobby project" wasn't the best word choice. I just wanted to emphasize that I'm not looking for rocket-ship growth (or even money), just a way to slowly get users who will f

Thank you for the recommendations! I'm always up for a good book. The book seems like it's targeted for rapid growth rather than the small/steady growth I'm looking for. Is that the case? I'd be interested in readin

I initially thought about PH, but was scared off by the recent posts about needing an 'insider'. Maybe I shouldn't have let it deter me, but I'm also not sure my site is 'right' for Product Hunt and I'm de

I read that! It was definitely a catalyst for this question. I emailed my one user and let them know I'd be happy to personally help in any way I could. No response yet :)

Right now, it's a tool that emails you if a new port opens up on your site. "Pingdom for open ports". I built it in response to a couple friends who got their sites hacked after deploying updates with mongodb or elasticsearch

Thanks for the response! I think one of my issues is that the app provides a technical service, so it's limited to programmer friends who are all mostly work acquaintances. I'm not sure why, but I was hesitant to share it in the w

Hey everyone! I built this tool to email you if a new port opens up on your site to prevent you from accidentally opening yourself up to attacks. The tool is free, but you are limited to a single site right now. If you want more, shoot me a

It would be great to know what the curriculum actually is. "Senior Web Developer" is for "intermediate front-end developers" -- does that mean it's front-end focused? Maybe I'm missing the links to the syllabi,
