Hacker News Reader

Comment by danso | Hacker News Reader

I'm sorry but if you're a cloud service and you have specifically targeted a static HTML page to Hacker News, even to the point of where the title is "Hello Hacker News", you should do everything in your power, even if it means creating a special S3 bucket, to make sure it does not 404.

The regular homepage still seems to work (with missing assets)...but not to sound too cranky, but it was irritating to see the claim of "10+ FRAMEWORKS" and not see the list anywhere on the site. The closest I saw to a list of these "10+ FRAMEWORKS" is waiting for the banner animation to cycle through all the PHP frameworks it supports ("Jumpstarter is an addictively fast and easy way to work with web frameworks like [wait for framework's name to fade in]")

I even clicked all the links I could find. "About" goes to the staff mugshots, "Help" goes to a support center, and the Blog link goes nowhere.

C'mon...

I'm going to stick my hand up and say "My fault." We're updating the website a lot right now and it takes a little for Cloudfare to repropogate everything.

About – The people are the about. We could write a story about who we are and what we do - I agree. But that's not the most important task any of us could have done. Help going to the support center is standard. Blog is being removed.

Appreciate the feedback though :)

Sorry, to be clear, I clicked on those links to find the 10 frameworks and any other kind of information about it as a product. Each of those links could conceivably be a place for such information

We will put special landing pages for each framework up eventually. But for now, everyone knows what Wordpress, etc is and what to expect within the framework.

Is there any more information you'd love to know and think should be included that you're looking for now about those frameworks and what we do with them?

Agreed. A simple list was wanted, but not found. Something as simple as the following on any of the pages:

Wordpress

Drupal

Joomla

CodeIgniter

Symfony

CakePHP

Laravel

Yii

Angular

Magento

We've put the list up on the homepage now :)

Thank you.

Although I'm now confused. The list in the animation at the top is: Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, CodeIgniter, Symfony, CakePHP, Laravel, Yii, Angular, Magento

While the subsequent list is: Wordpress, Drupal, Magento, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, OpenCart, Joomla, Concrete5, Kohana, phpBB, Symfony

So are Laravel, Yii, Angular, OpenCart, Concrete5, Kohana, and phpBB up and running, coming soon, or just possibilities?

And with the, "(Also vanilla HTML and PHP/MySQL)." bit, does that mean someone could also run something like MediaWiki, just without Jumpstarter flow?

They'll still have Jumpstarter flow – they just won't get the 1-Click ability and it won't be customised for that particular framework.

Each framework we offer generally comes with a customised stack in one way or another. :)
