nicolasiacon Ask HN: How should I go about developing an html widget?

How about generating the html on site (without even signing in), so they could copy it over to their site then? That will mean they will have to come back to the site to generate new html (similar to wufoo). Maybe the paid feature could be creating a paid account to not reenter the data each time. I can't reveal too much regarding the actual widget but I believe is something many businesses will need.

nicolasiacon Ask HN: How do you organize and share information within your company?

This is the one we used. https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-knowledgebase/ As you can see, you can organize articles in categories and there is even a search box. Initial feedback is good so far. A knowledgebase system is essential in all companies regardless of the feedback some users might give (usually those who are bored to search for answers), since all knowledge should be stored centrally. If a key person leaves, all his/her knowledge will be there!

nicolasiacon Ask HN: How do you debug your code?

Can anyone explain how should I go about writing unit tests for JavaScript? The code mostly creates the ui (i.e. create button and input controls dynamically) and then displays and updates data. We thought about using intern but I don't really know what should the tests be about. The backend is already test driven so I don't have to test that the data is actually saved.

Good idea but: traveller will need to know what he/she will be carrying. Will they deliver in person? Airport could be miles away from the receiver's house.
