charlesportwood··on Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it awesome? Please include URL
Modern Message Exchange Protocol - https://github.com/charlesportwoodii/mmxp-server

A self hosted, distributed, secure communication "protocol" (server/app) for exchanging messages. Think of it like a distributed, platform agnostic, self-hosted iMessage. MMXP differs from email and other chat systems by encrypting both the message and the metadata. Messages are encrypted and signed using user public keys for verification. The server and application components are open source for transparency.

charlesportwood··on Ghost: $411k Annual Revenue with a team of 6
Not a clone, I've been developing a blogging platform with the same basic feature sets called CiiMS [1] since 2011, which is written in PHP. Unlike Ghost however, CiiMS has a working API, comprehensive documentation [2], and a dashboard. We also offer our own hosting as well [3].

charlesportwood··on Ask HN: How you test for different versions of IE on a mac?
If you're looking for a service, Browser Stack (http://www.browserstack.com/) gets the job done.

Microsoft also offers free VMs for testing IE at modern.ie (http://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools) for Virtualbox, Parallels, and VMWare. They have 9 or so images for testing IE, ranging from IE6 on Windows XP, to IE11 on Windows 8.1.

Check out NewRelic (http://www.newrelic.com), they have modules that support PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, Node, and .Net on the web side, and iOS, and Android on the native side.
charlesportwood··on Show HN: Markpad Editor for Windows Phone 8
No, not in any way. It's meant to be the WP8 equivalent to an app by the same name I wrote for iOS last year.
