Typekit gets you Proxima Nova as part of their package among others fonts. It's not bad, but for something like email, it may be helpful to use the standard stack of fonts. My app sends emails (not a competitor). The interface uses proxima

Yeah, you're right. I'm not fair to OTA broadcasts and I should have gotten rabbit ears. However, considering the following issues: 1. NBC cut short the open ceremony 2. NBC delayed the broadcast of the swimming 3. Online (from the BBC, an

That's a great thing to point out. My mistake. I added a note about that in the article.

I guess technically I'm paying for VPN service, but I would have been anyway, so I didn't buy something new. And, I'm not certain it's illegal. Are you? Is the legislation specific about where you must reside? What if you're consuming conte

Cool - I talk about that at the bottom of the article. But I added a note in that section that you need to pay for a TV license to stream legally. Thanks.

Sorry - I updated the article, but as the other reply mentioned, Telemundo is a channel in Spanish.

Not sure why others downvoted you. I just tried unblock-us.com and it works... basically by changing your DNS servers. I added it to the article as another option. I'm confused because I thought that geo-restrictions were handled by IP addr

Out of curiosity, is there just an advertisement for 20 seconds at the beginning of a live stream? Or do they have commercial breaks?

I'm skeptical that the main value of the product to end users is that it's cheaper. Do you own an iPhone? Did you buy it because it's the cheapest way to have a phone in your pocket? On hacker news, people seem to care about pinching pennie

Your biggest expense as a company is employees. Every purchasing decision that won't keep you alive for another month is a decision that isn't worth thinking about. "I could switch from A to B and save $100 a month". Each human being in you

Other than spammers, who is concerned about sending email newsletters cheaper? Your service looks like a great tool, but I'd encourage you to ask your early users why they like using you. I'd guess that "It's cheaper than mailchimp" won't b

I did some research online and came to the same conclusion. I really like my $22 solution that addresses that. I've been using it for a month now and it's phenomenal. http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=4134307 I'm not a fan of laptop on

My suggestion, is that if you're going to build a product for a tech audience, and you use bootstrap (which is a great idea btw), spend some time to make it not look like every other bootstrap site. I'm looking at you black fixed global nav

Site seems to be having problems. Suggestion to the OP (your page also seems to be down) is to link to a static site with a demo video or description of the product. Or, test the load your app can handle before posting here.

Awesome. Thanks Brett. I love Jekyll. People are usually surprised when I say we power everything public facing for our company using Jekyll. But, it's ridiculously powerful and static sites rock. I try to take care when choosing URLs and H

I'm 30. If I can give you advice to live by: don't measure yourself by others' accomplishments. If you focus on what other people have done, you'll end up chasing your tail trying to compete with an idealized notion of 20 different people.

I own a geekdesk at home. I love it, but it didn't seem like I could bring it into my coworking space. I set an alert for geekdesks on Craigslist using IFTTT.com and got the small size geekdesk for $550. However, to get the monitor at the
