Cute! I like it. I installed it on my server and it's ticking away quite nicely. I'd love for the Processes table to have click-sortable column headers.

But I really really like that when I'm in a single-page web app like Gmail, all links are target=_blank.

If you want to buy the whole item, bypass Wish List Granted and go straight to Amazon Wish List and buy it there. It gets cheaper. But if spending $20 on every friend you have, my site is a better alternative. Also, the reason I add the $1

The intention with the site is not be get rich but it would be fun to have a profit at all. Having said that, any product link is very very different from a product link that a close friend has picked out. Chances are you desire the same. F

It's easy to make money on anything that is popular. The "profit" made on top of adding a small fee. on top of Balanced's fee, is so minuscule and quickly eaten by shipping costs. Right now, I'm more interested in

Sorry if my question sounded personally attacking. I'm just a web geek trying to improve what I build. So, it sounds like it was the concept that held you back. Not something that I was doing wrong on the site per se.

Thanks for the reply. I still need to make a better job of displaying any general errors from Balanced that aren't for a specific input field.

Lists in plural, yes. One single item, not so impersonal. I kinda think it's neat and very personal to say "This is what Norman REALLY wants". Did you see, also, that after you've made a contribution you type in your na

Affiliates referral. There's a small revenue also on top of the charges and fees that Balanced cost but that part is primarily to cover the cost of shipping.

In a sense, I wouldn't mind some fraud problems :) If that's the case, it probably means that site is popular and gets used beyond being a MVP.

Let's race! :) I'm going to add UK, CA later. Maybe FR and DE too. BUT only IF this is a success which I don't know it will be. Getting onto HN just means traffic but not necessarily $$$ which would the motivator for adding

The advantage of using only Amazon.com is that I don't need to store the person's address. Also, I don't really need to store anything about the item. I might morph it into any Amazon.com product that isn't necessarily o

It sounds like you like the idea and you are using amazon wish list. So let me ask you, did you use the site? I suspect the site is one of those "Great idea! ...but I wouldn't actually use it" which is sad but maybe the hones

You can actually have multiple items ( ). I wanted it to focus on just 1 time to start with. That will hopefully mean less noise. ( ) Once you've picked one item, you can go back and pick another item. Then you have 2 unique URLs but

Thank you!

How the heck did you managed to get to that? What amount did you enter?

It does that! If you make a contribution, you type in your name and a personal message. That gets included later when the order is shipped from amazon.com.

With Django and Flask you don't have the dimension of having to decide between sync and async.

Sorry for having to say this, but read the article. It explains there the predicament of using (or rather, not using) Javascript and/or complex AJAX.

Yeah, you could have a proxy that saves the whole HTML with its URL for every hit. Then run an analysis after a couple of days and you should get a pretty good idea.

That looks really cool! I'm impressed. That looks like a great tool for manual inspection when there's a lot of Javascript and conditional loading at play. I installed it.

If you CAN use it for one page at a time, excellent. If not, you have to be more careful. Here's an example of using it on just one page at a time http://www.peterbe.com/plog/mincss-in-action

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, unfortunately you have to know what you're doing with a tool like this. Know, as in, you need to know what's going on in your app/site.

BTW, I like your wget.py. Did you write that? I suspect I've seen it before.
