Early adopters are equally important as a majority though. Lest you forget that developers account for what really makes the iOS platform profitable and bloom - the app ecosystem -- and Apple requires Mac/MBP/MBA to develop for it.

Look at the Windows Phone. Fine device by all accounts, but it's biggest gripe from potential users is the app ecosystem -- or lack thereof. Take care of early adopters and take care of the people who keep your mini-economy running. It is short-sighted of them to fall flat in this arena. Arguably though, they've not been doing anything terribly impressive for quite some time by way of product.

No problem. I think everyone got out their pitchforks without reading Mozilla's announcement and looking at the repo.

There are always issues to help out on. Here's a bit more info on contributing [0]. I imagine it won't change much as the project is officially handed off to the community. It's largely led by the community anyways at this point.

As I mentioned in another comment, Mozilla stopped developing updates back in 2012 and passed it to the community. I imagine the maintenance will move likewise.

If you're upset about decisions that have been made with Thunderbird, submit a pull request.

Here's the code: https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central

I think a lot of people are forgetting that there is still a community developing it since Mozilla stopped "updating" it, beyond maintenance, in 2012. The product isn't dying, just will no longer be Mozilla backed. I assume that maintenance, like ongoing updates, will be passed to the community and hopefully another company steps up to back the project.

Microsoft seems to be getting tired of startups nipping away at their enterprise customer.

The biggest question in my mind is whether the New Microsoft™ or the Old Microsoft™ that built/released this. If it's the latter, I see this going the way of Sharepoint (which is mentioned as one of its integrations).

Not sure if inappropriate, but a personal vouch for these guys. Anyone with the skills they are looking for and passion in the security/privacy space, should definitely apply. Whisper Systems and Moxie have incredible principles, brilliant products, and serve the greater good of all of us.

I don't agree with the cheap freelancer part, but I can understand the nervousness around bootcamps. They teach for the 80% of basic cases that a Jr. Dev will encounter. This may be good in theory, however, I get very nervous about the 20% of the cases that they have not encountered which require fundamentals to be able to work through. This is just one example.

I've seen guys with good fundamentals grab onto new languages and theories very, very quickly because they had a solid foundation. I'm not completely against giving bootcampers an opportunity, but I do have my reservations regarding what I mentioned above and a few others.

Digital Ocean hits the sweet spot for me with both pricing, availability, speed, and ease of getting up and running for a project like this. You can have a new server up and running in 30 seconds and locked down within 10.

Bryan Kennedy has a great write up to help you get it set up and locked down: http://plusbryan.com/my-first-5-minutes-on-a-server-or-essen...

We put our own twist on it which improves on his base (mostly security related): https://github.com/codelittinc/incubator-resources/blob/mast...

I absolutely may have the layers the wrong way. My working knowledge of Windows is very limited compared to Unix and I may not have fully understood how Windows is put together.

I actually find Unix and Windows to be very fundamentally different. Particularly where he talks about security. Unix security concepts are built into the system architecture whereas in Windows they are implemented as features on top of the OS. A perfect example that he calls out, ACL. Some does exist in the architecture of Windows, but it is only a half hearted implementation.

Modularity is another example of something that is fundamental both in the architecture AND the philosophy of Unix, but very far behind in Windows where many applications such as a browser exploit can tie into the kernel space.

The communities and philosophies are also something I breezed over, but I think they are a non-trivial part of an operating system.

It's true. Docker Just Works™ on GNU/Linux. I'm a Linux guy myself for anything in development. However, unless I'm mistaken, part of the goal of Docker is to provide identical environments to an engineering team and production.

I always advocate for Linux use (in addition to principles, most things are easier as well), but everyone has their preferred environment.

You're right. There are some good alternatives to the typical stock photographs though.

http://deathtothestockphoto.com/ is awesome and very affordable.

Woahhh! That is awesome. Looks like you've put a lot of work into it.

No intention to go after anyone. Yes, LR and this project serve completely different audiences. It was just the least-wordy way I could think of to describe it.

Yup. Here are Dockerfiles that should work for both the DB and the Ruby app (in their respective directories):

https://github.com/codelittinc/dockerfiles

You're absolutely right. You could. You could also use https://formspree.io/ which is quite good.

You're right. I think if I were to do it again I would use Sinatra. I built this a while ago. Live and learn.

I actually opened an issue here to discuss: https://github.com/codelitt/launchpage-rails/issues/9

I couldn't agree more. I would love to see a program that would actually compete with YC. They're pretty much on their own ahead of the pack and a non-competitive business is never a good thing.

Hey that's an awesome idea. We will work to implement that soon! Thanks for the idea.

Ya. Thank you though. We just haven't had time today. We'll have it up in the morning. Sorry about that.

Hey we understand. This is just an MVP. We have a lot of stuff in the works and appreciate the feedback. It's very valuable.

We have a lot of cool things coming out soon. Regarding specified content though, you can current select a specific area by clicking and dragging that you want to monitor instead of monitoring the entire page.

Great idea on Zapier. Definitely some valuable feedback. I appreciate it.

That's a fair point. That's definitely redundant.

No problem. So remember you can add a page and have us notify you when the entire thing has changed. Or you can add a page, click "Show monitored area," click and drag over area you want to monitor, and you'll only be notified when that area changes. So:

1. You'll get an email letting you know that there has been a change with the image in the email.

2. You can sign in and you'll see a where these (0)'s are? Those will have the number of changes that have happened that you haven't seen yet. http://i.imgur.com/fmuqi8B.png

3. You click on that and you'll see the update (only shows scans when something has changed): http://i.imgur.com/t3lxmVN.png

4. You can compare that with the previous scan to see what changed if you haven't specified an area: http://i.imgur.com/VbP3dcu.png

We're adding several things to the next release though including more markup around what has changed, HTML diff, and an API.

Great. Let us know what you think.

Firefox. Got it. Thanks for both of your pieces of feedback.

You're absolutely right. Just had that emailed to us. Those prices are monthly. Can't believe none of us saw that we didn't state that. All of the tiers have a free 30 day trial and there is a free tier as well.
