OP here. You make a great point. I've clarified payments are handled through Stripe. Hopefully that alleviates at least some concerns. As for the transaction cost, I actually negotiated a lower fixed fee and higher percentage. Also, if

Hi all. About 2.5 years ago I created Highscore Money. I was looking at pay-to-play games and wondered what would happen if you'd take it to the extreme. The result was just a leaderboard you'd pay your way into. Whatever you pay,

I double checked our database and there were indeed no postings for West Virginia. There were 2 in 2017.

Some good points. We don't concrete criteria for which companies we consider startups, but it's something along the lines of "is this a technology company that is disrupting the marketing, and/or rapidly evolving its bus

Developer of Startup Jobs here. We use a pretty broad definition of the word startup. In future analysis I'll see if we can differentiate between early-stage, later-stage, etc.

Afraid so. The 404 is happening because the server cannot find a 50x.html file. I'm adding caching as we speak. Expect the site to be back up in a few minutes.

The deal concerned only the domain name. I think it was about 2 weeks. We communicated via email and once we agreed on a price we used Escrow.com for the transaction. The way it works is that the buyer (me) wires the money to Escrow. Once t

I'm not sure how the previous owner got it, but I simply acquired it. The site that was using it before seemed somewhat neglected so I reached out with an offer to buy the name which the owner, after some negotiating, agreed to.

Photos are manually chosen by me. Ideally I would automate it somehow by sourcing a feed, but not every image is suitable for captioning. Some might just not be that interesting, while others might depict things we don't want to joke a

We're only a 2-(wo)man team and already on Telegram so it was a pretty easy switch. We also didn't have too many integrations and the ones we did are now migrated with Push More.

We switched from Slack to Telegram a few months ago for our team communication at BetaList. Some of our website notifications (new signups, certain errors, etc) still were sent to Slack though through a variety of integrations. I made a sim

Hi HN, Today, I made a Telegram bot that turns your voice memos into a podcast RSS feed. Every voice memo you send to the bot (@telecast_robot) is added to your personal podcast RSS feed. It also generates a simple webpage with all your mem

Ah yes, some more information on each emoji might have been useful. If I choose to continue development on the site I'll consider that.
