   I think the key question is what is special (if anything) about tracking migraines versus any other event. Have you looked at the many generalized QS (quantified self) applications and SaaS?

   HackerLeague.org and ChallengePost.com will likely have a listing of most of them. You might want to keep an eye on Twitter and eventbrite.com as well. Also search HN as I know someone built a search engine that scrapped sites like those an

    Cool but your biggest challenge will be adoption. If you expect users to be repeat ones, I would consider some sort of browser extension or work with sites to integrate your button on their site much like how twitter/facebook share but

    This seems interesting. Are you consuming data directly through CKAN APIs or what? I work a lot with both CKAN and Socrata APIs. I'm curious what niche you're trying to fill: is it a one-stop-shop for open data? PS - I'm also

    Thanks Zach. Same thing here. If parents would stop and think about (at least my definition of) what a "hacker" is, a maker/creator/doer/free-thinker, I think they would in fact encourage reading the magazine. PS -

    It really shouldn't have anything to do with your tech stack being Rails. You can just have some status page site or your own status site (see below) check a certain page/port/endpoint for each of your "usage points&quot
