   I'm guessing when you see a nsfw.in URL, you'll know it's not safe for work (unlike bitly or alternatives).

   Actually, that's a good point - a Sell HN thread could be an interesting experiment. Should we go for it?

   Thanks for the kind words - sure, adding an atom feed for projects shouldn't be too difficult (although I can't promise I'll roll it out soon, but I will add it to the todo list). Pro accounts with custom domains are planned for the reasona

   Thanks - hadn't seen Apptopia before (which, at least on the surface, looks really good).

   Thanks for the feedback - yep, I didn't make it clear but improvements to search and an activity feed are all high up the to-do list (the activity feed - which showcases blog posts from people you follow, and from the posts that they recomm

   Looks like the link above is to /hn which then redirects to /login.

   From a quick look, it looks like it's reasonably simple to add resizing back in. The CSS on the textarea has resize:none - removing that and removing the max-width should add that functionality back in, should you want it.

    If you're looking to start freelancing - keep in mind that you'll need some money in reserve as it can take quite a bit longer to be paid (i.e. if you do a month's work and bill at the end of it, you can't rely on them immediately paying th

    The translate concept got me thinking - I wouldn't be surprised at all if Google didn't buy Quest Visual/Word Lens: http://questvisual.com/us/

    You're right, that does need to be fixed. I've been looking for some simple, elegant solutions to that. I've added a very slight text shadow that helps it stand out a bit better (but I'm still not quite happy about it).

    Thanks! And yeah, the image upload lack of feedback definitely needs fixing.

    Thanks for the heads up - I don't know how I missed that flaw. It's on the list to fix. [Edit: Just fixed it]

    Thanks! Really appreciate the feedback too - annoyingly I don't think it's possible to override the ::selection colour for inputs. I'll keep looking for a solution (that, ideally, doesn't involve changing the blue input field). I've added y

    Thanks for the heads up - absolutely no idea why that would be flagged, but I'll track down what's happening.

    Sounds good - I'll get that fixed in the next day or so.

    Thanks for the heads up guys, sounds like a bug that I need to track down.

    Ah - just noticed Firefox doesn't display it in black and white. If you check it out in Chrome/Safari you should see it in black and white (out of interest, which version do you prefer?)

    Awesome, thanks for the feedback - it's all really useful (and it's all hitting the to-do list)

    Just so you know, it adds a black and white filter to any image you pick (if that helps - which it may...not).

    Aha, not right now - but if there's enough demand I could potentially look to add that option in. Awesome cover photo, by the way.

    Aha, thanks for the kind words. I haven't got plans to allow custom domains just yet - but if there's enough demand (which it sounds like there might be), then I won't rule it out.

    Ahaha, no - the example is Brighton for everyone. I used to live there (although I'm temporarily living in Liverpool at the moment while my girlfriend works on a masters).

    The short answer is it doesn't make money right now, but there are possible alternatives for the future like adding a job board. Hosting is so insanely cheap that the cost of running Hoverboard is incredibly small. And thanks for the UI com

    Hi guys - I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback about Hoverboard. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them either here or (if you prefer) you can email me at dave@hoverboard.io.
