Postscapes··on How Bubble bootstrapped a visual programming tool for non-coders to $100k/mo
I found this product awhile back and was so excited at first.

I have a design background ( but can dabble in css, hack at php and python) but had trouble trying to get some APIs connected and displayed with Bubble.

Please oh please, can one of you developers have Airtable and Webflow make a baby? This combo would be amazing for functional business use and data display and I would pay good money for it.

TAAS and ICN both have paid dividends via burning or depositing holderd
Postscapes··on Clearbit Open Graph Logo Spec
We are planning on using your Logo API (and other APIs) in a new project and really appreciate the service and intent behind this new initiative.
Postscapes··on I tried DomainPolish. Here are the results
I like the site idea, and was about to pull the trigger but your payment processing scared me away.

I can't tell if you use https, and the Stripe processing page is just an email landing page......Get that up with Paypal or the like and you will have at least one more customer.

Good luck with the launch.

Postscapes··on Fab.com does $1.3mm revenue in first 30 days
Congrats on the launch/pivot/revenue/etc

I have to say as a designer this site seems like a nice change of pace....Looking at design porn all day that I can never afford can be a real drag and a turn off from the industry in general.

Having a place to go where I can put my ooogling where my wallet is definitely nice and the domain name (for whatever reasonably priced means) is very sticky.

Are the order size limitations influenced more buy the capabilities of the designer/distributors or on keeping with the Woot like discount feel?

Postscapes··on Show HN: Overlap.me - a new way to meet people & share your identity online
I am currently living in Seoul for short term and we are always talking about how this social segment is really missing outside of specific online community meetups.

Overall, I think this is really cool concept and on the right track. Currently, I would like to drill down first by Location/Region followed by interests and then have you show me who fits those two criteria. If there are too many matches I would refine/add more and if too few pull back on my interest selections.

Good luck on the project!

Postscapes··on CloudFlare: A website security product accidentally makes sites 60% faster
I saw this article and took the plunge on one of my sites. It took the standard time for the DNS to update and I was up and running shortly after. It maintains all of your MX records, etc and I did see a jump on Google Page Speed Score (went from 81-87) after installing.

One of the side benefits was their one click "apps" where you can install Google Analytics, etc and manage it from one place.

I did have one question that I didn't see a clear answer for. If I am using Amazon's Cloudfront for many of my images, how does the Pro account handle the caching of these seemingly conflicting services?

Postscapes··on An eruption from the Sun that happened today
Although not the flare from today, here is an image that has the earth shown against one of these eruptions for scale: http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/515512main_prominence_Ear...
