Sounds interesting what would you use it for practically?

Friday Afternoon Catch-up is my guess

We're solving this over at Gophr.it for the courier industries with planned, GPS tracked delivery where you have direct contact with the person bringing your parcel to your door - In London and eventually, the world. The delivery industry is the next space we want to move into once we build a solid foundation and we've got a big bullseye marked on the "No one home at X time" problem.

We're also hiring a graduate sales exec in London if anyone wants to help solve this issue with us! (Email in my profile)

They use a custom-made system for payments based on Stripe. I was working on a SaaS product where you could generate unique links either manually or via API for taking payments for SMS-based systems.

Drop me an email (it's in my profile) if you'd be interested in that and tell me what you would pay a month

LONDON, ONSITE

At Gophr, delivering stuff is what we’re all about about. We are building one of the most progressive and forward thinking tech start-ups ever created and turning the courier industry on it’s head while we’re at it. We’re well-funded, with an incredible growth rate and the opportunity to work with a highly experienced board of executives with experience working high up in some of the most recognisable tech brands including HTC and Microsoft with a very successful track record. Now, we’re looking to ramp up our sales and take Gophr to the next level.

The role

We’re looking for a graduate to come on-board ASAP and get involved with our sales campaigns. This role will largely involve phoning around potential clients, some cold and some warm, generating and managing new leads, attending meetings with clients and activities in our CRM. You will work with a small, tight-knit team in a company of less than 10 employees where your work makes a real difference.

What we’re looking for

Optimistic, Driven and switched-on graduate Disciplined, with a strong work-ethic Not afraid to pickup the phone, with a cheeky and likeable manner Strong verbal communication skills Sales, retail or customer service experience desired At least a Bachelor’s degree in any subject.

Compensation: Base + Commission based on performance

PYTHON DEVS - REMOTE OK (Well, we only want remote)

Looking for 5-10 Python Devs for a 3-4 week contract paying £500/day at the well-known company I currently work at. Timezone not an issue. Looking for bug fixing, testing and some miscellaneous tasks. Looking for experienced devs in Python 2.7 and 3+

Get in touch with me at nile.frater@gmail.com and shoot me over your CV If you're interested and I'll pass your CV along to my manager!

88 is pretty high yeah - few factors come in to play like how recently you were standing and moving around, but generally speaking, if your BPM is over 70-75 at rest, you're either really unhealthy or have a very naturally fast heartbeat, which can be a sign of heart issues.

I would agree, and I would say that there are way too many products on the page daily; it should really be curbed at 10 or perhaps even less. I also feel like there are too many books/guides posted.

Just tried it and after testing almost every option on the app store, this is by far and away my favourite HN Client - I wish they were on the Alienblue team.

The menus are intuitive, bookmarking is a god-send (Would love to be able to export this though)

A theme with the traditional HN colouring would be brilliant as it's really grown on me but the default theme isn't far off.

I have no real complaints. If I was nit-picking, I would say the section titles (Top stories/New Stories/Show/Ask/etc) are a little too close to the iOS status bar and sometimes my finger was registering on the status bar instead of the category and as a result, not registering my touch.

Apple Watch support might be nice, if you can get it right - Notifications for top stories (Like what Pushbullet does for the HN channel) and the ability to scroll through posts and comments. Not for everyone, though.

Love it!

Agree with the sentiment that the service is too expensive for the audience. Consider packaging a free domain with it? Yeah it'll cut your profit right now but in a year when it's due for renewal, that's when the money comes rolling in.

I've got a project that I'd love to use that for if you don't need it - Feel free to drop me a line at nile.frater@gmail.com if you don't mind!

As someone else looking for the same thing, I'd pay a monthly subscription on a per number of tiers. I'd likely pay around $10-15 for every 1,000 users, probably a little more. I wouldn't ever do a "% of revenue" or a fee on top of existing transactions.

He says in the blog that it was a honeypot

Absolutely love Treeline. Alongside Webflow, you can pretty much make a full web application without barely touching code. It's super easy to make your own "machinepacks" for Treeline too (Here's one I whipped up to work with Firebase: https://github.com/NileFrater/machinepack-firebase) - It's hard to go far wrong with Treeline because 1) Every line of code knows exactly what to do if it either succeeds or errors out, preventing "snowballing" and 2) It spits out clean code you can get stuck straight into without having to understand random libraries or new ways of working. In short, Treeline is like Webflow for the back-end.

Can you tell us more about these opportunities?
