noeltock··on I hacked Uber's website yesterday
WordPress has plenty of functions to sanitize, the one who made the theme or dropped in the form probably overlooked it.
noeltock··on Lessons I learned on the road as a Digital Nomad
I do take hundreds of shots, spot on! Everything except my portrait shot is iPhone.

Author here. Thank you! The iPhone 5s is quite superior when it comes to photography and the rest of it I do through VSCO CAM ( http://vsco.co/vscocam ).
noeltock··on Show HN: NomadList – The best cities to live and work remotely in
Not everybody is looking for an island in the middle of paradise. Chiang Mai is incredibly colourful in its own ways.

I like the concept for getting some new ideas, but it needs significantly more information to be useful downstream. Having been nomading around for the past year, there are things that are important to me (accomodation, gym, coworking, good food) that are made easier/harder by various factors (proximity to each other, cost, contract length, quality, etc.). There's no tool for that yet (albeit excellent blog posts, not everything has to be made into an app I guess).
noeltock··on Tor website needs your help
Source is so short, it can only be handcoded ;)
noeltock··on Simple responsive HTML email template
Also check Antwort, similar but seems to have better documentation and has been thoroughly tested: http://internations.github.io/antwort/

Thanks for the laugh, nailed it.

noeltock··on Restaurant website traffic now 40% mobile
Hi Ryan, so there are number of restrictions on the free website, but the main one they end up "converting" on is the "powered by happytables" logo at the bottom of each page (in other words, removing the branding).

That's exactly our goal with Happytables, focusing on: accessibility, information and engagement. All the additional fluff can really bog down those sites.

Founder here. Indeed an additional hurdle! It's probably the hardest part of setting up the website. Handled via CNAME (similar to Shopify), this way they can still control any other services (i.e. e-mail).

Yeah, talk about coming so close to a sale as a restaurant.
noeltock··on Introducing Stripe UK
This is unfortunately true for a number of EU countries. Stripe/ Paymill alleviate a fair amount of this.
noeltock··on A solution for designers who don't know Wordpress
There is also http://underscores.me/ which is very well maintained and popular (Github here https://github.com/automattic/_s ).
noeltock··on Farewell Kera
Even if it's not open, could sell the self-hosted for a yearly license, definitely a good way to continue getting revenue on it.

I think it's unfortunate. We had used the service for the Clickbank Powered platform and users loved it. I didn't see much value in the product they pivoted into, but the initial one was superb. Here's to hoping they open source it...
noeltock··on Show HN: Cibarsi.com - Create a website for your restaurant
Thanks for highlighting our product happytables, you're bang on with a lot of comments relating to SEO. We'd be doing a disservice to small businesses if all we did was give them the tools to create a website (as opposed to also helping them grow their business).

I'll try to get a post together in the next few days summarizing our latest iteration and lessons learned.

Cheers, Noel

Thanks for the mention Charlie, we've just done a huge iteration so we're really excited to release the final bits there. Cheers!
noeltock··on I’m Tired Of Companies Ripping off our site, So I’m Calling Them Out
Agreed, the design isn't copied at all imho, parallax and these sort of websites have been around for a 2+ years now.
noeltock··on VCs downsize amidst funding crunch
Seems like WSJ are up-voting their own articles, never seen a pay-walled article get this many votes in a mere minutes (at this time of the day).

noeltock··on Stolen Money on Gittip, Part 1
Negative. The layering stage of ML does indeed lead to "cleaning" funds, but Gittip isn't doing that. ML means giving money a clean-slate with virtually no history. Everything from casinos, offshore entities, to wiring funds through FATF blacklisted countries will be closer to what ML actually is.
noeltock··on Stolen Money on Gittip, Part 1
This doesn't seem to be a case of money laundering, but credit card fraud. Thanks for the share!

noeltock··on My experience with WPEngine
Only hear good stuff from ZippyKid, but haven't used them yet. I've tried Page.ly before and just had too much downtime over a number of different months. Have reverted to hosting myself.
