This seems pretty great, especially if it could surface pricing that is usually obscured. Any plans to publish some results? edit: i think these are some examples: https://salespeak.ai/profiles/

abeh··on Alexa, be my friend: Children talk to technology, but how does it respond?
Last year my daughter was just learning to sound out words and write them, and was coming to me for help in spelling them to make little sentences. One day I was busy working, so I suggested she go ask alexa how to spell the words. An hour later she came back with a whole page story! After that, she'd go to alexa a few times a week to get help with spelling, and started exploring games and asking for other info.

abeh··on A Year to The Day
curious about what happened from current tagline and differentiating point from wordpress: 'Just a blogging platform.', to the statement here: 'Ghost has the potential to be far more than just a blogging platform' ?
abeh··on [dead]
status is here: https://status.github.com/
abeh··on A horrifying startup accelerator story
A google image search brings up 9 out of the 12 identities. But yes, strange.
abeh··on What does it take to be an expert in computer programming?
expert in computer programming == expert in computer programming + 4 other things?!? This doesn't make sense.
abeh··on .io domains down?
you can check whatsmydns.net, how some places are working, and some not, for example: http://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/www.works.io
abeh··on .io domains down?
ok, now it's not
abeh··on .io domains down?
I have a .io with nic.io, and it seems to be ok right now
abeh··on .io domains down?
github.io also down for me
abeh··on Ask HN: What's 'Due Diligence' when vetting co-founders?
I've thought about this lately, and think that a trial period would be best, with both parties clear that it is a trial period for each other.
abeh··on Larry Page posts about his voice
I see it more as people trying to solve problems they come across. If you contribute to the ones you are close to, and others do the same, things improve.
abeh··on Poll: Where do you host your static website?
+1 here
abeh··on Can a Puppy Sell a CMS?
It's a nice test. However, I'd like to see how many of each group stay after the 30 day trial.
abeh··on JackDB Heroku Plugin - Explore Your Databases In Your Browser
thanks, will look at this too.
abeh··on JackDB Heroku Plugin - Explore Your Databases In Your Browser
this looks great. since i switched to postgres from mysql, i was missing something like sequel pro. i tried induction, but it is buggy. will be trying this out shortly!
abeh··on Getting into the tech scene when you have no skills
I would categorize user testing under 'Design Skills' (UX Design), as well as CSS and HTML (Web Design). Design might be a third type of role, that is neither technical, nor business.
abeh··on Why Steve Jobs Never Listened to His Customers
as i remember, iPhone sdk was released after Android. it seemed to be that iPhone sdk was not intended for developers, but Android forced them to, because it seemed like an obviously good idea.
abeh··on Show HN: Fake weekend project: Update FAQ page via email
I tried to submit the url first, but it was considered spam - I guess using an unbounce page for a non-existing service is kind of spammy, but this seems to be considered the 'lean' way.
abeh··on Ask HN: How do you manage shared company passwords?
I have used http://www.strongbox.io/ - it allows you to create a 'box' of passwords or other data that is securely shared with other users.
abeh··on Hipset Launches Artist Discovery Program
If I was an artist considering this, I would want to see a video of the reviewing artist as they listened to my song. I would want to see their facial expression, and see that the reviewer seems like they know what they are talking about. Also, if I could listen to the music of the reviewing artist, I could judge if the review has any merit.
abeh··on Ruby on Rails Bootcamp in Seattle
Are you accepting international applicants? (i.e. from Canada) Would you be able to get them hired in the US after?
abeh··on Ask HN: What do you wish you knew about UI/UX design?
I'd like to see an article that explains the difference between UI design and UX design, with examples.
abeh··on Hacking on Side Projects: The Pool Ball Tracker
Huge pool fan here: Put this in a mobile device that I can mount from any angle and record all my games anywhere - I would pay a lot more than $0.99 for it!
abeh··on How we designed our logo for $30
Sounds logical. If it fails, hopefully the reason for failure is not the logo, or an accumulation of things done quickly and cheaply.
abeh··on How we designed our logo for $30
It may cost you more in the long run if you update/replace the logo you got for only $30 now. The branding and visual elements for your site and company should work with your logo; so whatever branding assets you have (site, business cards, stationary, ads) will all have to be updated if you change the logo later. I would not consider this to be a low risk experiment.
abeh··on Visual design will not fix your broken business
The point about visual aesthetics may be true, but that's only a part of what a graphic designer does: a good graphic designer will solve communication problems, and that is definitely a business problem worth solving well.
abeh··on Early Startup Time Wasters
You could try listening to podcasts - when I was 'commuting' (i was actually walking) to work, I'd listen to something informative and interesting, so I'd arrive at work inspired every day. For example, TED talks, or web tech stuff: http://5by5.tv/webahead
