All hail our glorious overlord Starbucks! I can see how you might think it was that at a glance :)

We're somewhat similar to GoInstant (not so much Hoodie) but the difference is we're building out a platform with a lot of features to help make development easier as well as faster. You can connect your app up to Github or Dropbo

I totally understand! We're working on getting it right, but it will be coming soon. There are too many terrible billing services out there for websites. Here's some basic info on pricing, but we haven't put it up too publicl

We're working on a no-backend solution to help developers build great entirely client-side cloud apps. We provide a set of API's that can be used if you host on our platform or off it, and they work with any language. There are Re

Our client library is entirely open source, but our platform itself is not as it's a commercial no-backend offering. This allows us to offer production-grade hosting for these types of no-backend apps.

We're working on a similar no-backend product called Hoist that does most of what Hoodie is but is a hosted solution. We do all the 'server' work so you can just build your app. We provide API's for everything from Data

This is disappointing. YouTube's 'community' is extremely toxic, I can imagine if Twitch is rolled into it, it'll die a long, slow death.

Amazing to imagine the kind of people that fly first-class. As someone who works in a startup and isn't rich but comfortable, I don't see why you would pay >$8000 more just for a comfier seat. I'm sure your perceptions cha

Holy crap, this is exactly what I've been looking for! Amazing! I hope you plan to continue with this project for some time - I've always wondered why Sonos doesn't do this themselves!

In New Zealand's technology sector, you're pretty much groomed to expect to have to move overseas to achieve anything worth something. All through university it was reiterated to me that I should move overseas to get the job I wan

Xero HQ is very much in New Zealand and the CEO (Rod Drury) still lives in Hawkes Bay of New Zealand. This is not correct.

Yes, as another person who resides in NZ here, this is the problem. Our government doesn't realize just how important the Internet is and high-tech companies are to the economy and does nothing to foster them. The PM often refuses to m

I've used Box extensively in the Enterprise and never really "got" it - it was cumbersome and often confusing. It just seems like another layer on top of what could be used as a first-party integration in something like Onedr

I've never understood why people think this guy is interesting. He's just a socially awkward dude that makes loud, strange noises and acts like a child when he plays games. Meh.

Wow - this is the first time in three years since the last event. Also, the geometric backgrounds on this site are beautiful. Would love to know how they implemented those!

Most of these companies are terrified of SEO probably. There's been a number of cases in the past where a customer's complaint would show up on the first page of results for a company on Google. Once or twice those blogs have eve

Pretty much nothing, it sat dormant the whole time that Twitter didn't do anything. It briefly had the name of some random news site in the bio but that's it.

Twitter never responded to publicly, nor did they actually or take action for well over a month. From @N's feed, it seems that he got it back himself somehow, too. I don't see why it's not accurate.
