Twitter Bootstrap is completely awesome. I could never make it look this good on my own, especially with full browser testing.

I'm trying not to clutter the UI. Ethan (my co-founder from Urbanspoon) came up with the idea for the "office visit" icon. I used to have that in a column and it was just too much, even on my enormous monitor.

I've been in your shoes and I empathize. In fact, I was in your shoes just a few days ago when I applied for insurance. The rates here are "representative" and I tried to add disclaimers in the obvious places. The rates are similar to what

I'm releasing the first version of PickHealthInsurance today. It helps you compare health insurance plans (individual, not group) in the US. I put this together over a few weekends. My COBRA is about to run out and I found it exceptionally

That can happen if we can't find good overlap between your work history and the work history of your LinkedIn connections. We make reasonable attempts to normalize the resumes, but we can't account for variations, or even plain ol' typos. D

TechCrunch drives a bunch of traffic, generally, especially something like Cubeduel that plays well to that crowd. We're somewhat insulated in that many people lack LinkedIn accounts and bounce off the front door. The first system to fall o

We don't have those kind of detailed stats yet, unfortunately. Right now we're just trying to keep things humming along. It's just me on the tech side! Resto duel is an interesting idea. Ethan (from Urbanspoon) actually mocked this up at on

I just ordered one. This is a great idea! I really like the flash tool that helps you place custom artwork on the case. The checkout process was very smooth as well. That being said, there's a problem with the custom artwork process. The va

It would be great if our community of Ruby hackers could read this spec and supply feedback via their comment system. Remember that classes and methods that aren't included may not be present across implementations. A few omissions that jum
