Are you considering a/b testing your sign up form?

Not too long ago on HN there was an article about how the Obama web team converted their forms into multi-step forms and noticed an increase in conversions.

Maybe add a picture showing what is delivered to your door every month?

Just a thought.

Good luck guys!

404error··on Ask HN: Do you have friends who are not software engineers, outside of work?
You win. Organize a meetup, if that's your kind of thing.
404error··on Ads may come to Instagram
Yup that's what I was thinking. Build in the functionality to order prints straight from the app. They could expand to postcards which I think would be awesome.

They should partner with http://printstagr.am/ and make money off their users.
404error··on Ask HN: Do you have friends who are not software engineers, outside of work?
Yeah, I pretty much have given up on finding a local cofounder. My location doesn't help either I'm on the the central coast (California). Right smack in the middle, about 4-5 hours away from The Bay and 3 hours away from L.A.
404error··on Ask HN: Would anyone be interested in using a new Codeigniter Admin Type Module?
I might look into SimpleLoginSecure, thanks. Good luck with the project.
404error··on Ask HN: Would anyone be interested in using a new Codeigniter Admin Type Module?
I use Codeigniter for a lot of my projects since its so easy to get going with it, with that said, I would definitely be interested.

For authentication I use Tank_Auth. Are you happy with SimpleLoginSecure?

404error··on Ask HN: Do you have friends who are not software engineers, outside of work?
None of my friends can code. Bums me out sometimes since I have no one to talk to about this stuff. Sometime it feels like I am the only one in my town that can code. (I live in a <100K Farming Community)

When I start a conversation about anything related to code or the internet everyone just looks confused so we just talk sports.

404error··on Ask HN: How do I get my hands on MLS (real estate listings) data?
You can probably partner up with a local realtor or agency.
404error··on Ask HN: Best place to get feedback on a new adult site?
Maybe something similar to Craigslist's min. max. price filter on for sale items.
404error··on Ask HN: Best place to get feedback on a new adult site?
Hope you're doing better.

I'm not sure if there are any affiliate programs out there for adult content. But, if you could somehow sell clips, full movies, subscriptions, etc.. of the performers and get a kick back maybe you could generate some cash flow, at least so the site pays for itself.

404error··on Ask HN: Best place to get feedback on a new adult site?
Some suggestions:

* In the filter section can you make the search link look more like a button?

* When viewing an individual performer can you somehow point out that the logos click over to their work on other sites.

* Also, on the performer page can you maybe add a heading above the the other performers. Something like Physically Similar Performers or something like that.

* I am a fan of minimalist sites, but maybe a soft color palette would give it a little more life. I would suggest a soft color to not draw too much attention away from the photos.

I am viewing on a smartphone(im at work) so i don't know if these are issues in desktop mode.

Do you have plans to monetize this somehow? Or is this just a side project for fun? Where is the data coming from?

Stream Torrent works pretty well too.

404error··on My interview with Google is tomorrow, any advice?
Eat breakfast.
404error··on Followup to "I bought more than 1 million Facebook data entries for $5"
27, no facebook account...ever. For some reason I have never been able to make the time to use a social network.

404error··on Oil Espionage: Traders Spy on Hub With Satellites, Sensors and Infrared Cameras
This sounds like a great idea.

Another possible solution would be to crowd source the data gathering. Maybe a news link aggregator with strict organization.

A lot of newspapers have horrible websites. Aside from aesthetics, search is broken on many of these sites. Another problem is local government, city council minutes and other information is not made available in digital format.

I work at a newspaper that is a controlled by a corporate office across the country. (They know best) I also live in a small town that has been slow to adopt technology.

404error··on IE9 is better at blocking malware than Chrome, Safari, and Firefox combined
I would hope so with how long it's been around.
404error··on The NextFacebook...Really?
I see these all the time in my neck of the woods as well.

This sounds like a sweeter deal though, 20% of billions of dollars is better than the $500 offers I've come across.

404error··on NFL opens Pandora's Box by offering All-22 tape to public
Being able to see how New England creates space for their Tight Ends will be interesting as well.

High school coaches are going to love this, it will help develop young players.

What I would like is an API to better track players for my Fantasy League. Or a chat feature in the Mobile App to trash talk on Sundays.

I'm interested in this as well, specially being able to see the Tampa 2 defense in action.
404error··on FB new low (18.23), down 52% from 38 IPO price
who?
404error··on FB new low (18.23), down 52% from 38 IPO price
I never understood how giving things/services away for free made sense to anyone. I still don't get it. Sure you have a huge user base but no way to make money.
404error··on FB new low (18.23), down 52% from 38 IPO price
They should just start charging a couple of bucks a year to use the damn thing. They have so many users even if some drop off they would still be making money.

(I don't use it so it's easy for me to say)

404error··on Ask HN: How to avoid conflict of interest?
I've thought about taking this approach but after being at my current job for 7 years I have made certain observations about my boss. My boss holds grudges and frankly I don't trust my boss (but that's another issue for another day).

This is a very small project and would not make a dent on our bottom line but I cant help but think my boss would see this as betrayal.
