   Actually I just saw that! Their site says you can only use it in AUD, is that still the case or are USD accepted too now?

   As a French expat living in Japan, creating a personal company in Japan was surprisingly easy (assuming you have a work visa of course). It was just a matter of filling a one-page form at the tax office. Filing tax was also very easy, I bas

   Neither of us are U.S. citizens. I'm French and my partner is Australian. And we have about half of our customers in the U.S., and half outside. And I hear you about not over-thinking this. But even if we want to choose the simplest ro

   Thanks so much for doing this! Here's my situation: I've been working on a pretty successful project with a friend (selling eBooks), and we're thinking about incorporating (up to now we've been taking in income separatel

   This looks very cool. I like the focus on plugins, it would be pretty awesome to have a flexible static site generator with an active plugin ecosystem.

    This has nothing to do with marketing, it's more a question of taste in my opinion. It's hard to argue that these logos don't all look extremely dated.

    It's actually encouraging to think that those logos are horrible by the standards of most people here. It means that there's progress. In fact, it's not rare these days to see open-source projects with thoughtful logos and we

    That's really nice of you. Not many people would think of doing that.

    I'm not sure what you think CSS grids are, but you should probably read up a little more on them…

    Not completely sure if that was serious or sarcastic, but in case that was a real question: The main reason for using a grid is to make sure elements on your page stay aligned vertically and equally distributed horizontally. If you use sepa

    To be honest when I land on that GitHub page, I'm not sure what I'm looking at. What does this do? Is there a demo? How do I run it? If you want to get more traction I would suggest making the readme a little more beginner-friendl

    I know the app needs work, but I'd love to know in more detail which part you didn't find appealing. Is it the design?

    Serious question: what do these sites get from using Bootstrap? I can't see any of Bootstrap's UI elements in use, so is it the grid? If so, I think something like Susy ( http://susy.oddbird.net ) is far superior. It&#x2

    Unless that's a different mp3 player from the one I'm thinking about, it got pretty bad reviews. It might be waterproof, but most reviewers said that once water gets in your ear you can't really hear anything.

    Sure, it's inconvenient for the end user. But as someone who's started a few projects myself, I would hate to think that starting something means you vow to support it until the end of times no matter what happens.

    Well, what would you have them do? Would it really be better for them to keep spreading themselves thin supporting too many products? On the contrary, I think them refocusing on Basecamp should give you more trust that they won't pul

    Umm, the whole thing is clearly an homage to JSP, and it's also a non-commercial open-source student project. I think that makes things quite a bit different.

    That's exactly what we're doing (apart from the denormalization approach, which we don't really recommend). The problem is doing this in a way that A) is reactive (i.e. updates in real time) and B) efficient.
