The general metrics I've observed on Instagram to show success: - have at least twice as many followers as you follow - have at least 10% the number of followers as likes per pic So, you could have 700 followers, but follow no more tha

I love this! "Login unsuccessful. Something went wrong: Error: api_calls exceeding plan authorized calls" when I went to log in with Twitter. Good problem for you to have, I look forward to you working this out so I can particip

There could be a lot of different reasons why your "Show HN" wasn't successful. Applying that to every "Show HN" is not correct. My experience was very different from yours. Stayed on the front page 16 hours, spot

Bravo on your homepage language. A couple years back I looked into creating 'open shift management' scheduling software for caterers. It appears that you've created something similar. Though most OSMs send out a notice of

Hello Andy, thanks for giving it a spin! Searching for "HipChat" will find companies that have a relationship with HipChat. If you're looking for HipChat competitors, I suggest searching for something like "private grou

Thanks for trying it out, and I'm glad you like it overall! One of the great things about RivalSeek is that it only shows you a competitor suggestion once. After you've decided relevant/not relevant, you won't see it ag

For what category? What was your search query? I put together a landscape for a friend the other day and within an hour had identified the top 100 electronic health record/electronic medical record vendors. :)

Thanks for trying it out! :) I just re-wrote some of the code that's made it 2x more efficient, so it shouldn't freeze now. Try it again.

lol, I'm getting ready to re-write a lot of it. Just rewrote some parts of it and it seems like it's getting things back under control. It's lagging a little but not freezing. Just made these changes a couple minutes ago.

Thanks for trying it out! To fix that issue (remove the duplicates), click twice on the keyword/checkbox at the top of the page beside "add search term." That will reload the list freshly from the server. The issue comes fro

This is very disappointing. I remember how glad I was this finally came into existence when I discovered them. It's a real problem. Of course, since their launch, Intuit came out with their Self Employed offering. I wish more detai

I was going to respond a few hours ago to your post: "maybe you should." There's a fine line here between being cruel and being honest. Personally, I've always struggled with this idea with some of my wealthier friends

I've watched that lecture a couple times and never even thought what he was doing was bad until you called him out for it. And even still, I think he handled it very well. I've seen people ask questions to try to get recognition
