Once you create a hub, it fetches top songs from iTunes and starts playing from YouTube. All the songs added by users from their devices are then added as song meta data. I'm planning on making the YouTube player visible and adding soundcloud as well.

I'm working on Shuffl, a virtual jukebox which allows you to start a collaborative music station for your party where your guests can see the current playlist, vote on the tracks and add their own track. Here : http://shuffl.in

It can prompt the user, asking he wants to continue to the URL embedded in the QR. Still not sure, why default camera apps do not have this.

Yep, it should. It's just a removable paste up.

Twitter's Fabric : https://get.fabric.io/

"buy sell data", "data marketplace", "big data marketplace", etc.

A few which seems to be online right now: [0] http://www.bigdataexchange.com/homepage/buyersellers/ [1] http://exelate.com/products/data-marketplace/ [2] http://www.qlik.com/products/data-market

There you go

Couldn't find many features to try out.

If I need to see how much I have coded in a day/week/month, I use Wakatime. It silently keeps track of all the programming I do.

Once a year? Those must be some really interesting posts :)

How many, though?

They have started this new Recommendation thing in the beta version, now this makes sense.

Sequel if you're a fan of desktop apps.

If you need something just like phpmyAdmin with better UI : SQLBuddy http://sqlbuddy.com/

I have this habit of saving articles which takes longer than 2 minutes to read to my Pocket(any other reading app for you) and I go through the list while I commute.

Other than that, I like to watch 20-25min TV Shows ( Older ones like Futurama, or Rick and Morty ) if I don't want to read.

Google Voice censors swear words. You can switch it off though, but it is on by default.

I have a set playlist for programming morning-afternoon, just to get in the mood.

Here's what I listen to : http://blog.wirdd.in/post/131088231061/what-do-you-listen-to...

Got it. After reading about all three on the web I found out that Chrome's a memory hog and sucks up the battery. So FDE stands between Safari and Chrome on the battery/memory line?

"FDE is slightly better in performance" - than Chrome? Haven't tried it on Mac, but on Windows Chrome seemed snappier than Firefox / Firefox Dev Edition.

For most of the backend, I try to stick to one browser. Right now Chrome gives me all the request details and other things I need. But I want to see where FDE stands on this.

Hahaha, yeah, it's back up. Had to give developers a break.

"You will need a product key.."

Isn't the update feee if you have bought Win8.1?

Are you still able to see the Upgrade notification? Didn't they have a timeline during which you could upgrade?

I just checked my Windows Laptop with Win8.1, I can't see any upgrade notification :(

Here too.

I love Mailbox on my Android device, but it isn't stable on my mac. Even before El Capitan, with every update there was a bug - Once it was fixed some other bug popped up. Now, I can't even search through the emails.

Other than that, it keeps crashing.

Anyway, how do these companies take big reports? email?

Hey, I know it is recommended that you move to the bay area during the 3 months, but what happens to the companies which target local markets? Is it possible to gather knowledge about the local market and also the product while staying away from your core user base, and also, how do the partners take care of different kinds of market the startups target?

Example, Indian market/users/plans are considered to be a lot different than other countries.

Thanks :)

Not working for me. Sounds interesting though, make a beta signup for notification till it is down?

as someone pointed out, Psiphon's license doesn't allow it.

Planning to include it? :D

Stumbled upon Flask. Liked it.

Yes!

Adding to this, try not to reinvent the wheel. If you're trying to code something which is already there and open-sourced, go for it; include it in the project and work on it.

Ask for 1/2 of the fixed amount / working hours upfront. This will ensure that your client is actually interested and won't easily dump the project.

It really looks good.

As kamphey said, you can make use of twitter to get users on board, given it's a place where you'll find people actually interested in blanqd.

Friends : Just make some of your friends use it and see if they push it forward to others or not. That's a great way to start, and also validate if it will work that way or not.

Product Hunt, HN, others: Either you go to blogs directly, or you make them notice you on these websites. Have you posted it on ProductHunt yet? If not, do it and see what people have to say about it.

"I've been looking to get into web development" - One of my friends from a similar background described web development as the fusion of many tools and languages. Guess he was right.

If you're planning to dive in, learn stuff sequentially. You have a grasp of PHP? Cool, since you're just getting getting started, why don't you brush up your HTML/CSS and basic designing skills? The best way to start is : Codecademy, without even thinking twice signup, go directly to the Web Designing Page and start the tutorial. You don't need to complete the whole Course, drop it when you think you have learnt enough. Enough for basic understanding.

There, you got hold of the frontend part, in the same way learn Javascript. Make things. Make stupid things. Doesn't matter if it doesn't have any functionality, you'll learn from the errors, warnings, etc. When you're stuck, google. StackOverflow is huge, and if your problem doesn't exist there, you're probably doing it wrong.

After this phase, I started out with PHP(Later switched to Python/Flask). Why PHP? Because it just worked out of the box. Go ahead, if it doesn't work for you, find another language. BUT if you directly pounce on a framework's documentation page, then you'll end up knowing nothing serious about web development. The frameworks are for developers who have already went through the hard-coding part, and want something to boost the development. Go for Laravel maybe, but only once you're sure about PHP. Again, Codecademy's gonna be helpful here. PHP course looks promising.

While you're at it, you'll learn about MySQL, how to use it, how to use it with your language, you'll learn about other database technologies, NoSQL, and while reading the pros and cons you'll find out if you have actually learnt it the right way.
