Backups are interesting, and something I had considered as a primary feature of the site. However this site is (currently) just me, and I don't feel that I could wholeheartedly say that a backup system relying on a single person is a good i

I'm hoping to offer a bunch of features other than unlimited photo uploads to entice users into subscriptions. More features, such as being able to share private collections (albums/sets) with others, or increased control over what they see

This is pretty interesting to me as I've been spending the last month preparing my soon-to-be startup; (hopefully) a competitor to Flickr/500px: https://photographer.io Obviously I can't compete with that free space which they're giving o

There are far fewer controls and standards for horse meat in much of the EU, meaning a lot of the meat which was being passed off as beef could potentially contain dangerous drugs not fit for human consumption. If it's properly regulated th

Hehe, I did consider blocking phone pictures, but some people get some great shots on them and I don't want to miss out on those. I've even managed a few rare half-decent ones: https://photographer.io/p/10 I think most people are actually

Thanks! If you use it and have any feedback then I'd be really happy to hear it. Aye there are quite a few other sites out there, and I really need to flesh out a page explaining how Photographer.io is different and why you should use it. I

Aaah, that would make sense; there's so little documentation for UK users at the moment that I wasn't sure if something like that was the case. So I'm assuming I can only charge in GBP or EUR with a UK bank account?

by robotmay 13y ago
That's the problem I'm facing at the moment; each currency would be relevant to a certain section of my current user base. Plenty of users in the USA, about the same in the UK and EU, and a sizeable number in Australia too. I'm not sure if

Stripe only lets me choose one currency for an account, as far as I know. The target market is everywhere! I didn't want to plug it above, but it's a new photography community which you can currently see in beta: https://photographer.io .

Ask HN: I'm about to launch my startup, should I charge in dollars?

Aye, I guess the margins are there to accommodate the menu and the hangouts column?

It's a bit weird; I actually really like the G+ interface when used on the Nexus 7, but it just doesn't look good on the desktop. I now have 3 columns of tiny boxes, and I don't really understand why. Couldn't it just be flexible width, two

Hah, that's exactly it. Whenever anyone applies more pressure than needed I normally just try to tense my hand, i.e. immovable object meeting the unstoppable force. I think that might prompt them to squeeze harder, though.

I actually don't know how hard I'm shaking hands. I never go in strong, and I've never felt like a big guy, but I always find it really difficult to tell if I'm applying more strength than I think I am. Any time someone tries to crush my ha

I'll admit to panicking slightly before I read down this far.

Finally managed to get it launched in beta, if you fancied taking a look! http://photographer.io

I'll have multiple file drag & drop in for the very first release, but after that I'm hoping to implement the ability to import from other services. And further down the line I'd love to be able to offer Lightroom/Aperture plugins for e

I'll add it to my feature list! I'm keen to provide as many options as possible for parsing data from the photos.

Aye, I'm not sure how big a market I'll have at the moment. The goal is actually to build a community somewhere between the two, as there are parts of both I don't like. I'd like to promote constructive criticism rather than fanboy comments

I'm actually trying to build a somewhat alternative to 500px/Flickr at the moment, and one area I'm really concentrating on is the EXIF data. I'm actually thinking of giving users more control over what data is kept inside their photos afte

It's somewhat relevant (due to the input/output interpretation), not excessively expensive, and there are loads of great short domains available. I've got a few myself, my favourite being iso.io; which is for an in-progress photography site

Because there are so many legitimate uses in the British Indian Ocean Territory. (as a note, nic.io actively want the domain used as people are indeed using it)

Aye this sounds great for setting up staging environments, which until now we've had to do manually.

Hurrah! I'll be toying around with this first thing in the morning. Thanks for all the hard work, Heroku guys.

Yeah, it's not anything amazing from my experience. I've heard the FEAR games had decent AI, as well as Far Cry. If we're not talking FPS then I've been impressed by the AI in XCOM. God damn those bastards are hard work.

Looks neat. I actually would have made use of this a couple of weeks ago, but I'll keep it in mind if we rewrite that section of the app (as the current solution isn't quite as elegant).

I've never found Firebug to be lacking; what do the Chrome developer tools have that make it impossible to stop using Chrome? In my experience Chrome is a PITA for web development due to its weirdly aggressive caching. I thought people were

Chris Hadfield's videos and photos from this expedition have been really interesting; his interactions with the public are great and he's answering a lot of fun questions.

I've actually just spent my afternoon writing out some music for the first time in about 15 years, so this is quite interesting. However I must say that I just don't get it. Every example I look at appears significantly more complex than th
