   Ironically when this site was built in 2011 a designer was used http://99designs.co.uk/web-design/contests/fast-growing-web-... Let's just say it's not aged well.

   The blog hasn't seen any activity since then but the service is still used by a few hundred people daily.

   You don't need to sign up to use Meetifyr, it's all done via a unique url for each meet up (in fact there's no way to sign up). For sure there are loads of alternatives, this hopefully strips it down to the basics. Think a se

    Fair point. The fact you don't have to log in or create an account is suppose to be one of it's big selling points, that should be more obvious.

    Hi, there's no limit on disk space. We use Google Cloud Datastore which is quite reasonably priced at $0.18 per GB per month.

    I totally get what you mean. It's really hard to prove that you're going to stick around and people are quite right to be scepicle about tech firms who seem to close stuff down as soon as the wind changes direction.

    Fair point but free services get shutdown too.

    Thanks a lot for the feedback. I have made spreadsheets working out how much lists will cost to run for various sizes and levels of activity and I think $10/year covers most reasonable cases. Some competitors have more tiered pricing b

    Thanks for the feedback. There is a searchable archive of all messages which is only available to the list administrators. Since members of a list aren't required to have any sort of credentials the message archive isn't available

    I was aware of Breeze and looked at what they had done. It felt strange using a project for inspiration which had been canned after a few months! I believe 37Signals didn't get the traction they were after, but enough traction for 37Si

    I've really enjoyed using Materialize ( http://materializecss.com ) with this project, I think those guys have created a really good framework.

    Hi, I've built this over the last few months and have seen a few people sign up and be quite happy with it (which is nice!). I'd love to hear any feedback the HN community has and I'd really appreciate any tips people have ab

    I'm not sure a densely populated (relatively) small island that far from the equator is such a choice for a space port. Also ultra-fast international flights aren't quite as appealing when you've had to travel for 6 hours by
