Google penalising a site for not having original content may be one. Ofc, it uses bandwidth and costs the site you're scraping resource/money for no benefit to them.

I did some research on this before, I found that intercom.io is a must-have and can handle automated communication with your customers, Stripe is probably the best payment option and the account management will need to be home-rolled and ut

I like the idea - if I wasn't bootstrapping my side project I would definitely consider it so I could spend more time on the business side of things. Side note, any reason the domain isn't hireasquad? The CTA's and content ar

I have many friends who are in Sales. I have shown them many side projects and tried to convince them to sell it in their spare time. They are all enthusiastic at first and joke about which sports car they will buy when it takes off. The tr

I like the idea but I am not sure if it fixes a real problem. I don't think I have ever had feedback from clients complaining they don't understand the text. Where did you get your validation from? Edit: Looking at the amount of l

Not affiliated, just remembered the "Shown HN" post when I saw your comment :)

I would give 30 days notice that you are going to close the account and offer to help (paid) with the migration. If after 30 days they have not migrated, pull the plug. This is assuming you have no legal obligation to keep it online.

If you have the bandwidth, handle forgotten passwords manually through a customer service call and ensure they give you email, username and billing details if applicable.

In the UK, school goers do a 2 week work placement. Don't do what I did and let them choose for you, suggest an online company and push to shadow a PM, dev...it will at least be interesting and you might just learn a thing or two.

Absolutely but I never commit any of the code I write ;). Or at least, I don't remember doing so.

The company I work for will be hiring PM's in the 1st quarter. We're based in London, UK. Got an email add.? I'll send you a note when it happens if you're interested.

It depends on what your goal is. Is it to make money? Go with your default and get an MVP out by the 10th Jan. Seriously. You can always rewrite it once you have paying customers and know it's not a complete waste of your time. If it i

My aim for 2015 is to spend more time with my family. To do this will probably involve a change of job etc. But that is my main goal.

I'd like to take the course but will need my company to sign it off. Any chance I can email for the HN discount if they give the go ahead?

Looks like a good idea, I would love to take this further and have it link into Facebook / Twitter messages (Even if you cannot approve etc.) An app that shows an overview of what my child is doing online...I'd pay good money for

I tried to manage my own accounts but after a year you soon realise you're better off having an accountant. Your time is too valuable to be doing something that doesn't directly add value to your business. It's also very reas

I didn't moan about your comment, I referred you to the guidelines.

If you offer RSS I wouldn't have to pay (I assume) - if you had an API I would use it for commercial use.

It means this is the wrong place to moan about it.

When you add more topics, I would pay for API access to get an hourly list of popular stories in each topic. If this is ever added please let me know :-)

Noticed you offer an API, I might throw something together. Will send you a link if I get a chance to do it.

Love the idea! Have you considered this from a job search point of view?...go to twitter, search for #job and quickly build a list of jobs to be checked later. Especially if you summarise the content etc. Might be better as a separate servi

It looks good - not sure I would personally pay for a contact form but can see why other people would. I did click your contact page and see you're using it (always good!) - I then tried it on a mobile and the form is not usable :( - I
