Haus is a side project that I worked on: an app that can help renters deal with the frustrations of apartment bills, service providers, roommate payments etc.

I would love if anyone signed up for the beta: https://hausiq.com

I continually get redirected to http://www.www.startupnyc.org/

> basically, moral responsibility is commutative

oh dear. this is scary

It would be neat if there were a way to save songs for later consumption. As a spotify user, I would love to be able to "star" it so it saves to my account, but I'm not sure if that is possible on the web

This is too bad, it would have been nice to drop in on a lecture

I don't think I've ever heard of pipes to be able to have forgotten about it. However, after browsing the website for about 3 seconds I closed the window out of disgust with no idea what the product did. Compare this to IFTTT (which is fairly well known in this sphere) or zapier (which I had never heard of, but could figure it out after a few seconds on the website). It really might be all about presentation. Unfortunately I'm not willing to evaluate evaluate this statement in regard  to pipes because I'm not willing to look at their website any longer to see if they actually do what the article claims.

The author of this post writes smbc [1], an extremely popular webcomic, among a variety of other things.

Actually .hn already exists as the TLD for honduras: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hn

I think we can give the creator the benefit of the doubt and assume that this language was created as a parody of these debates.

How about a tool that gets authorization from your github account and let's you automatically upload LICENSE files to your project. The particular license is based on user input, similar to [1]. Does something like this exist?

*edit - this way it could just be an open source project instead of waiting for github to implement it.

There was a blogpost [1] a month or so ago showing a backdoor to some webcams. The urls on the map look to be using this method in conjunction with some sort of ip-location lookup.

they do, the bug is if the url doesn't have a file extension

This was done as a student project and I would leave to get some feedback. There is also an android app here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mathisonian.androi...

If you are on android, I made this quick app to go from zip code to a list of your representatives and a call button for each of them.

I'm not sure how informative this is... Percent of what?

This looks pretty promising. I guess "there's a YC for that", hehe.

You should probably have the BetaBeat/Mashable icons link to where your product was actually mentioned on those sites.

Just saw this. I had some protection since hn took down the last site I posted, but I'll work on updating.

At the moment no. Out of curiosity, would you find the project more compelling if there was some form of identity?

Thanks for the input. I'm going to change it so that some content is already open on page load, hopefully that will be a better starting point. The overlay is so that you can still tell something is loading with the ajax, but you are right, that might be a bit much, especially for the pictures

good point, it seems like you and akkartik both got it after spending a minute digging around. I'll update it to have some content open on page load

Is it any more apparent once the categories have more items (for example the noTag category)? What changes would you suggest?

Is the layout, or the lack of instructions? I thought the tag->thread->responses would be somewhat intuitive

User's tag their own post, creating a dynamic list of categories on the left side of the screen

The idea was to try to create something that lives in the space between twitter and 4chan. You have the basic functionality of an image board, but it is much more free form and lends itself to short form messages

So the screen you see upon loading at the tags associated with the most recent posts that people have made. If you create a post you self-tag it using the #tag method. Choose a tag to explore all posts under that category. Posts without any #tag in them get assigned noTag

Just shoot an email to songrabbit@songrabbit.com and we'll let you know once its up.

A back button should pop up when you select one of the search results (above the actual lyrics). What browser are you using?

And yeah we arent getting hit as hard as we were, so it's probably a bit quicker than last night

1 and 2 are fixed. We'll work on 3.

The only thing we store is a session variable of your search results - no personal information.
