   This is an awesome resource, there is an overwhelming amount of choice for people that are new to Rails development (I am encountering this myself at the moment). While I hope to eventually be able to pick which gems I like to use best, for

   I remember the last time someone posted about ThemeForest, there were questions of whether you needed the extended license for a SaaS app that charged money or if the regular license was fine. The license prices (~$100 vs ~$1000) could make

   I read these two books in the first few months at my job with a book club that included the other new hires and a good mix of more experienced developers. * The Pragmatic Programmer [1] * Apprenticeship Patterns [2] I would highly

   The linked article from Sam's blog: http://samsaffron.com/archive/2011/05/02/A+day+in+the+life+o... I found it to be much more interesting and a cool look at how he went about actually finding the slowdown and the steps he took to fix it.

   It's the same model as Groupon. The article mentions that the author only requested a 30% share - to ensure that it was featured on AppSumo from what I understood. I'd imagine the normal cut is closer to 50-50.

    Cool idea. I wonder if anyone else would like this extended to Github projects; I think it would be cool to have the icons of the technologies used on a project page. That way you could tell at a glance that Project X uses Python, jQuery, R

    Could you post a screenshot of what v2.0 actually looks like? Maybe an example of the 'activity stream'? It looks interesting, but I don't like signing up for something without getting seeing a sample.

    I agree, there wasn't anything groundbreaking, but I definitely bookmarked the page halfway through.

    This is sweet. I've had a similar idea for this on my side-project list for a while.

    Sounds fun, I'll probably give it a go. Are you having a theme? If so, consider revealing it a few days before (like maybe the Thursday before).

    I would take a look at Flask. It is great for small applications. Read the quickstart guide ( http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/quickstart/#a-minimal-applicatio... ). Follow the tutorial for making a blog ( http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/tutorial/in

    I am no where near the target audience for your app, but the difference between this version and the last is miles apart. I did a double-take to make sure both sites were done by you. One thing I ran into was that when I first loaded up the

    There is still a large gap in this market. Looking just at Python, none of the 5-6 cloud hosting providers have even launched into public beta. I've signed up for at least four, and finally got into one -- just to find that it was like pull

    Hi Daniel, I did not intend to make into a 'battle'. The site is just a hobby for me as well, I have no delusions about getting bought out by Amazon or spinning this into a huge thing. My goal, in fact, was to make enough money each month t

    Hi Thibaut, thanks for the kind words and the email. Hopefully some friendly competition can help us both improve :)

    I considered it validated because HN is the ideal target market and there was a lot of interest in the comments, not just because it was on the front page.

    I think that approach would work better for a startup company, but for a side project, it doesn't seem that feasible. It is good advice, but when I want something to hack on in the evening or on the weekends, setting up a business meeting i
