Hi Fabian, We are currently quite focused on our target marget of FreeAgent customers, and Float is not currently mass-market (yet) but you are right. We recently released a page, more like you are suggesting, for Xero customers here: http

Hi Alan, There are a few extra factors at play here, - Our price is somewhat anchored by the accounting packages we integrate with, but we do intend to try and push that price up eventually (I should add: by adding more powerful features, r

Just launch. Seriously what's the worst that can happen. I say that like it was easy, it clearly wasn't, but you just have to suck it up and try it.

I think I agree! :) and thanks.

I think a timeline view probably makes more sense ultimately, but I have just modified the demo so that the events happen sequentially, and you can see a trail of events via expanding bubbles from the nodes.

That looks pretty amazing!

I have made a start on graphing the instantiated objects, but my brain started to hurt :)

That's a good idea, I will give it a try. Could get awkward with the async nature of JS but I will see what I can come up with.

This is an initial concept/prototype I've been working on today. Pretty neat I think, but not exactly sure of the use case yet beyond making code more visual. All thoughts on that front gladly received!

Not sure exactly! It just seemed like a fun thing to try. I guess I am just interested in how to make code more visual. I haven't tried it on a "real" code base yet but I will.

(offtopic): I can attest that the current echonest t-shirts are the best startup shirts I've ever seen. Wear mine with some frequency.

Also "Right place and right time to suit the right situation. this is some more fille" :) looks like you have some filler text to rip out.

Great simple idea, but I don't really understand what the json is supposed to look like. You say: "GET http://yoursite.com/secret returns {"data": [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]}" But is that an array of data for the last seven days, or the current week

You might have a point, though I hope there a few more years in me yet before I hit true old man status (I am 25).

I've responded to astrojams' comment already, but I'd guess his fear/concern about his first jump from the 1 meter diving board is about on a par with my fear of diving from the 3 meter board (something I've yet to do). If, when I eventuall

Perhaps I did, it's hard for me to say, but I'd estimate my views on reality are pretty well average for a white, not-rich, not-poor, twenty-something in Scotland. My intention wasn't to question why everyone didn't woop and holler at his "

:) it is entirely possible that this feels like what a high school english pupil would write about the event, as this is possibly the first piece of "creative writing" I've done since high school. Although, while creative, it's largely base

Thanks! That link will definitely help me as I move up to the 3 meter board (which scares the crap out of me!).

Hi, author here. Clearly a lot of this post is my analysis of what was going on in the boys head, which I can only hypothesise about from my own experiences, but the events in the story are pretty much as they happened yesterday, rather tha
