   Thanks! Glad you like it. The iPad app is coming soon, but in the meantime the site should work on your iPad without a problem. Mixergy and TED will definitely be coming soon to the list of supported sites. As for the error, you might've ca

   I definitely struggled with that bit of copy. Thanks for the suggestion.

   Thanks for the other feature ideas! Now that we've launched I keep stumbling across more and more implementations. So far, I still like mine the best. ;) Twitter integration is high on the list. Since there's so many things to do with Twitt

   Thanks! I suggest you'd use this because it supports more sites than just YouTube (and, if you ask me, because the UI is better too ;). Right now we only support Vimeo and YouTube, but we'll be adding more soon, once we find out what people

   Thanks! The site works on your mobile device since it uses HTML5 embeds. A native app is in the works. Caching is more difficult since it violates the TOS for some web sites -- but not all. So I'll have to sort this out on a case-by-case ba

   I had this built to scratch my own itch: I would always find videos that I wanted to watch and bookmark them. And then I'd lose them in a sea of bookmarks. Whenever I wanted to watch something, it was hard to find something that fit how muc

   I'll be blunt, and I hope you take this all with the understanding that I'm only trying to help. I've tried to point out specific things you can do/add wherever possible. With that said... Your home page is incredibly confusing, primarily b

   It's a nice thought, but I think it's important to have a separate community. The goal is to create a place with serious discussion where professionals can gather, and I think it sends the wrong message if it's one click away from r/lolca

    Backstory: I'm starting a company to produce educational games (you can probably guess the URL) and I went looking for the "HN for Education" post from a while back. I think it's important to have such a site for the education community. It

    My startup http://brainracer.com is very early-stage, but we're tackling the difficult problem of keeping young kids interested in math. The math education system (especially in the US) tends to be soul-crushing, and it focuses more on re

    Yes. I'm in Old Town Pasadena but it's hard to justify that rate. There's enough coffeeshops around here, and it's unclear whether the space has a "community" or if it's just freelancers. What's your email? I'm interested in setting up some

    Do you mean, specifically, the "lesson plan book" market? Are there other similar things that teachers have to deal with, that he could expand into?

    So you use Mighty Meeting as your sales tool... what do you think the Medtronic guys used in that example from the article? As an iPad developer, I'm wondering if there would be value in having some sort of "Product Gallery" type of SaaS --

    This is also the most exciting feature to me. But, looking through the reviews, it sounds like the buggiest feature. Worst of all, they process your UIs server-side and then send the code to you. Unacceptable. I just picked up Dapp ( http

    Another good way to monetize would be to analyze for common typos around the domain names being traded, and then offer those domains for sale via affiliate links to registrars.
