While we are talking about new social media alternatives, Sublevel (sublevel.net) may be worth checking out. No funding, actually works.

This. Is there really this much funding out there? Here I am trying to make useful things when all I need to do is collect users in some low stakes thing.

Yeah a bit of each but with half the features.

1. For fun, to save money, to eat fresh meals the way I like them and it's another thing to build 2. This is the difficult part that I hate, but I've been using Fitly (fitly.com) for grocery delivery with recipes 3. All kinds of stuff 4. Vegetarian, sometimes vegan 5. To me it's all about knife skills. Get a decent knife set (doesn't have to be the best) and practice your technique and you'll be able to get pretty far.

Mighty Spring is trying to do it for tech.

Heroku for queue jobs. Pay by the minute.

Basically I hate maintaining an AWS instance that is idle most of the time. And Heroku will only get you so far.

It would probably be difficult to make profits on because you'd be charging slices of a penny at a time...

AWS has this for video encoding: http://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder

I asked some commercial video friends about this once and they didn't seem too interested. Their company invested in a private network for their office and a lot of CPU muscle.

Might be something here - the design of most fitness apps leaves something to be desired for the geek crowd. The only well done one I've ever found is Stronglifts.

I've thought of this too and there seem to be a few companies trying something like it. The difficult part seems to be keeping your stock up to date. You'd basically have to update it after every meal.

Maybe a smart refrigerator will figure it out some day or Amazon with their automated service/scanner combo. It certainly could prevent food waste.

It's not just random people with egg icons though. I'm getting the sense too that people, even smart people doing interesting things, are taking the medium so seriously now that there's a lot of bickering.

It may be bigger then Twitter though as reaction time becomes smaller, so does the backlash.

EMRs have this data and some of them expose it via APIs but there's usually more of an approval process than imagine Walgreen's requires.

Do wealthy people need all the hassle to save a few hundred dollars on a Macbook?

The vague "credits = dollars/pounds" makes me think that the worker is getting under compensated here.

Yeah whatever you have to do to trick investors, right?

"We got 5000 new users in the first hour!"

Overdrive is great when they have something I actually want to read.

Sometimes I can get a book I want from my local library and I'm willing to wait, but their selection isn't always the greatest beyond the new bestsellers.

Kindle Unlimited sucks too because they don't have titles from the top publishers that actually put out interesting books.

So yeah, my only option most of the time is to purchase.

Ah OK, so the author hasn't even tried it yet. Well thanks for sharing anyway.

Yeah, I think Quora only makes sense if they are bought and a piece of it is implemented within one of the giants like Google. It's an interesting new business model I guess.

Same here on a Nexus 5 with Chrome.

Oh the irony...

There's an episode of 99% Invisible about it: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/episode-66-kowloon-wal...

Maybe people should stop putting Bootstrap in their resume when companies stop putting Bootstrap in their job postings.

Yeah, are the emails from this service sent manually?

I work for a fairly large org. Once I finished an internal app and sent out an email for some folks to check it out.

I soon received an email that the website was not working for someone. The screenshot showed that the browser they were using was Lotus Notes.

They were clicking on the link in their email and it was opening it in Lotus freaking Notes.

"Uh, no, we don't support that."

Add UP to that and I'm in. They've got an open API now, I believe.

Great idea, I'm on board but would really like to know which apps/devices you integrate with before downloading. I figured if I scrolled down a bit there would be a list. Maybe I missed it somewhere?

It's not a "problem." I'm just incredibly lazy when it comes to looking up rap lyrics and it works for me.

I consider myself sophisticated and I still use Google for something like Rap Genius:

"rap genius kendrick lamar swimming pools" would get me there quicker than any other way.

It's incredible that now that search string sends me to other pages that link to RG's lyrics but not directly to theirs.

For me exercise giving me a chance to really think about something away from the computer (and sometimes figure it out).

I'd be up for a HNBA fantasy league this year or next.

Very cool, I'm going to give this a whirl.

Suggestion: if you're up for folks helping you with creating new add-ons, add some documentation on how they can do that. I'm definitely interested in contributing.
