   Thanks for the feedback Brian. Glad to hear my UI is self-explanatory, I've worked hard on it :) There's a x on the top right of every guider to end the demo. Did you just miss it? Is that not obvious enough as an "exit tutorial" button ? W

   GPS Data Collection! I never knew such a thing existed. Is that a big market? You should have a demo :) The big reasons I created the app were push notifications and offline data collection. The app is actually mostly JS, so in theory an an

   Thanks! I just removed the animation entirely. Might add a fade-in, but going to let it sit as-is for now.

   I am hoping some of our features (specifically flow control, scheduled push notifications, and offline data collection) will win over some of the competitors in this space. https://www.getformly.com/features/online_form_builder

   SSL cert error? Oh no. Did you happen to hit the non-www domain? Running it through curl doesn't raise any flags as far as I can tell... * SSL connection using AES256-SHA * Server certificate: * subject: OU=Domain Control Validate

   Thanks! Would love to do a video... my skills in that department are nil. Will have to learn. Pricing is hard, really hard. I couldn't decide what to charge, so in the interest of shipping, I just went for 2x what I thought was reasonable.

   Just went through the demo. You definitely have a nice start. Seems like a combo of Mixpanel and intercom.io. I would recommend a JS API to reduce barriers to entry. Even better if it can install a little widget on my site that allows the u

    Are there particular performance issues you are running into? I've been using Heroku for quite some time and never had any complaints about performance. You should know that Heroku also automatically shuts down applications running one dyno

    I've recently built a similar hybrid app -- one main UIWebView mixed with native components. It's a great way to launch your MVP, but I've found myself slowly converting pieces to native due to performance issues and other minor quirks. Wha

    Looks to me like they just insert the JSON body directly into Mongo without any sort of further validation: $m->tampon->queue->insert($post);

    Their clients are really just thin wrappers around their website, e.g. UIWebView for iOS. Not sure how that takes three iOS developers.

    40 or so lines? I'm sorry, what? https://github.com/julien-c/Tampon/tree/master/api Also, I don't think this counts as security: if (strlen($id) == 24) { // Looks like a valid MongoId Edit: this looks bad too: $post = json_de

    On Monday at 3:30am PDT, we experienced a hardware failure in our primary encryption hardware device. The failure cascaded to the backup slave device as well. How does a hardware failure cascade to a backup slave device?

    Looks like a great product. One thing: the invite email isn't an HTML email? Why wouldn't you use your own product to showcase how great it is? Edit: Green vs. blue slices is super confusing. Ideally you would have one slice type and figure

    Does 1.25% seem ridiculously low to anyone else? It seems to me like she should have negotiated to be a co-founder instead of employee #1.

    New APIs look great! I would love to see the ability to increment a value via the API instead of pushing the total. We have a lot of events we would love to track, but don't want to store the total locally.
