Why not? I mean, why does it matter that it's a javascript timer? And that it's a website? Or what the picture is? Why should any of these things affect how seriously you take what it's trying to do?

Instead of selecting a meaningless location for the user by default I would suggest either auto-detecting their location or having them type in a zip code / location right away with a search form that's more prominent. I'd suggest moving th

Thank you so much for this. I listened to it last night and I'm planning to listen to it again. It seems like the speaker has a very open, understanding perspective of life and the place of the human struggle.

I remember Amazon tried doing this a few years ago with Listmania. I really liked that site because I could just search for 'hosting' or 'sci-fi' and I'd get an idea of what the community thought were the best options. Then I could research

Love the design. Is there a reason why you can't charge less than $20 a month? I was hoping to set up a small shop for a friend, but they'll probably only have $80-$100 per month in revenue to start out with, so it would probably make more
