This came at a perfect time for me as I've spent the last week working on designing newsletter templates.

GameWisp looks pretty interesting, I wonder if we are going to see more and more cloud services focused on supporting mobile/web games rather than applications.

Wasn't the lore of Lucas having the entire series 'practically written/envisioned' debunked after people saw how the 'new' trilogy turned out? (ex. metachlorian)

Even more shocking: "That will be followed by Episodes 8 and 9 – and our long term plan is to release a new Star Wars feature film every two to three years"

We have been using MongoHQ for a bit now and their service has been quite good and very accommodating (especially when our db suddenly stopped storing data during a critical time).

However for a growing bootstrapped startup their cost structure isn't very linear. For improved performance you have to jump from a $49/mo to $637/mo plan which is pretty ridiculous.

I tried to do a 'Show HN' this morning but I think I might have submitted it a bit early. (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4537457)

We just opened our product for public testing and would love to hear what you think.

We actually started work on backstitch before Google's announcement but seeing the number of petitions to save the service as well the outraged comments by the passionate user base we are more than happy to step in as a replacement :)

Thanks for the feedback! We feel that now is a time of unprecedented noise when it comes to managing our digital lives. Five years ago we weren't juggling the shear number of blogs, daily deal sites, and multiple social feeds that we are today.

We just opened our product for public testing and would love to hear what you think.

By semantically defining content we aim to:

- Provided a consistent UI toolkit for articles, photos, products, etc.

- Allow for personalized filtering (ex. all status updates allow for black/whitelisting by submitter)

- Dynamically implement piping of data from one source to another (ex. all products can be searched for on Amazon)

I'm around to answer any questions/comments that you might have.

If you like Shark Tank definitely check out the Canadian version of Dragons' Den. It is more focused on the pitch rather than the at-home story of the people pitching. You can find most of the episodes on YouTube.

Look great, this is actually something I've been looking for.

I def. would recommend dnsimple.com (I think I pay only $3 a month). They have a lot of templates to easily add records for heroku, blogs, and google apps.

I was wondering why my private gems kept failing when building from source.

I think thats why Quora is doing as well as it is. At first I didn't get how they were differentiating but I find myself going there more and more for hight quality answers from people who know what they are talking about.

HN doesn't knock the hustle if its relevant and not over the top spammy.

I've never used the git transfer plugins but I've had some past headaches moving to different source control systems. I usually just start a fresh repository with the latest snapshot and keep the old system available if anyone has to really go back that far (in my experience after a few weeks no one really ever has had to do this).

I haven't used TM2 since it was first released however if its like TM1 'Replace' only appears on the single file find (cmd+f) and is not available on the find in project (shift+cmd+f) dialog.

I think the more accurate statement would be that they have lost market share in specific markets and have failed to adopt share in others.

Well thats crummy, it was a link that was posted in the comments on TechCrunch.

Here is the link to today's actual demo and not the one from a few days ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&...

* Looks like the link was made private

Really cool idea, however I'm wondering how necessary it was to hire an outside group. Why not just dedicate a space and slowly fill it with items that employees find interesting?

I do remember an article awhile ago about a company (perhaps 37signals) that kept a collection of different textures/materials to use as inspiration. I always thought this was a great idea.

It is especially frustrating because my site is running but I need to push a pretty critical update and the api is shut off.

"It's a Kickstarter for legal fees" in 1...2..

I think that would a huge addition. Only thing is how could you handle execution of web apps (not just services)?

That's what caught my eye as well. I don't think a semester counts as "attended college". I'd like to see a more detailed breakdown.

I think your fb share is messed up, it shares http://phonehack.co not http://phonehacks.co/

Never heard of Dotcloud before, anyone have experience hosting a decent size app with them?

Thank you for posting your experience trying it with rails, I agree deployment of a non-trivial app to heroku can be a pain the first time but once you get everything working its a breeze for subsequent deployments.

I've played around with what seems like ever alternative framework under the sun (Titanium, Rhodes, PhoneGap, MonoTouch, Corona) and have been pretty frustrated with how clunky they usually feel. However with everything its claiming and the decent price point I'm toying with purchasing site unseen...just wish I could try it for a few hours first.

I've been hoping that they would add some more graphs. Looking at either how much impact (or lack of) I made in the last week is one of the tools that I use to keep to myself motivated
