   Maybe the price was too high, I wonder if people would pay something like a dollar a month billed annually, or really cover costs and charge $19/year

   Yes it is. I run some email newsletters and it’s kind of a pain to have someone give you their email just to stay up to date without a third party like twitter or Facebook, I like the idea of RSS feeds as a more direct way for people to sub

   I use this or something like it, I’ve been on twitter since 2010 I think and I’ve changed a lot since then. No point in keeping tweets around longer than they need to be

   I’m working on a side project that does this too, thought I was the only one. Whenever I see a regular user of any other service have to reset their password to login in anyway, I’m like man this password thing is kind of not that useful

   Im working on https://outsidelist.com and http://hollabackapp.com . Outside list is cool because it (hopefully) encourages people to travel and get outside more. Hollaback is cool because it's sort of an "ab

   Companies large and small can suffer from this problem of what appears to be mundane, useless work. It’s worth mentioning that instead of striving for 50,000 person companies, we might be better off with much smaller companies, two pizza te

   Clojure also clicked with me too, and I also dislike huge frameworks. There's a trade off there though, rails gives you so much, you almost forget what the problems are with slapping different libraries together. Definitely room for a

    You could try to compete with this guy: https://www.sitebuilderreport.com He realized the world didn't want another site builder, so he just reviews all of the existing site builders. Pretty genius.

    This Spotify IPO is similar to the Dropbox IPO, when they first started it was a blue ocean situation, almost no competitors, and now there are large tech companies competing, not sure what Spotify or Dropbox's advantages are against t

    Congrats on shipping! It's tough out there for remote job sites after remoteok.io and weworkremotely.com. Interesting approach going iOS first, good luck!

    I deleted FB a few years ago, I’m surprised how bad it’s gotten. I’m not surprised that more people are either just not logging in anymore or just occasionally.

    Fellow Cursive user here. Being able to hit a key, in my case Shift + CMD + P while the cursor is on some text and to see it live in the REPL is pretty incredible. It’s also kind of weird that a lot of other languages do not have this

    CSS Grid blew me away the first time I saw it. I didn't realize it was ready on the latest browsers. I switched from bootstrap recently to tachyons, this is just another reason to not miss it.

    I just think it's an amazing opportunity to be part of a bubble. I missed the last two bubbles (real estate and dot com). Bubbles pop, sure, but putting at least some money into them can pay off, of course I'm willing to lose what
