Well, my requirement is to have SSL on my own domain... and GAE offers that for $9. I think you did not read (right or wrong) the blog post :p

I think, yes, that the "CloudFlare-issued" means you have to use a CloudFlare subdomain... But again I did not test. Even if it works, it's still twice as expensive as GAE, doesn't seem to cache the HTML files (as per above comment)...

I registered many SSLs with them and never had any issue :)

So, http://www.cloudflare.com/plans shows that to get your custom SSL, you need a "Business" plan at $200/month... so about 20x more expensive than GAE in this case.

Well, we actually wanted to use WebIntents to do that, but then WebIntents disappeared from Chrome, so we decided to create a similar approach which would work specifically for subscriptions :)

Well, email is not app, nor is browser addon. However, apps that use email or browser addons could very easily register with Subtome (see the Developer section) so that if you used them, they'll show up. We also have added Blogtrottr as a d

You don't have to ask your readers to subscribe to a service at all! Again, it's just a button :) There is not even a web app running on the back. Only some Javascript and the use of your localStorage. It's integrated on a couple sites like

We're obviously not clear enough, because this is exactly what this button does: allow each web user to subscribe thru the app of their choice, rather than force them own one specific choice. Of course, this requires the "readers" (whether

Well, again RSS is actually too big of a constraint. Say I list on my blog page the list of my social web profiles (Twitter, Facebook, Google+...). Rather than have button for each of them, the button could very well redirect the user to ea

It does :) Thanks!

Well, to be fair, they really don't have the same purpose. Say you're a blogger. You want to allow your users to subscribe to your content. Would you only allow those who use Google Reader to do so? Certainly not! SubToMe actually plugs nic

Good idea. We are also looking for a logo that could work well. Any idea?

What if one does not use Google Reader?

It's a button. Maybe you could have clicked on it :)

Well, again, most of the dependencies we used in Ruby did not see any update in the 3 years we've been using them. We also reported several bugs in those libraries/dependencies which were never fixed. This led us overtime to use our own bra

Hard to assess exactly, but we were not adding feature and improving the user experience mostly because maintaining the previous code base and evolving it was so costly.

Well, we assumed everyone knew about the good... so yes, we're happy with the rewrite and will probably never go back. Also, a 25% saving in servers for us translate in several thousands of dollars saved monthly. Not negligible :)

Well, the reason we rewrote was not to explode all benchmarks. The reason we rewrote was to be able to ease the maintenance of our code =)
