Thanks for that! Do you have a link by any chance?
bodiam··on Fractal Design Launches Define R6 Casing With USB-C
We're also a bit surprised that

1) it has only 1 USB-C connector 2) it still has USB-C 2.0 connector. It's probably cheaper to implement, and maybe(??) there are devices which don't work well with USB-A 3.0. Not 100% sure though.

Hi cerberuss,

Maybe these picture help?

It seems all connections are at the front, and I'm actually wondering if the case has USB connections at the back of the case.

yeah, something went wrong, I didn't expect that many visitors all of a sudden, so went out of memory, etc. Is fixed now, thanks for letting me know.

We're planning on a doing a review of the case soon if you're interested, we're trying to do a USB-C only build.

Added it! It indeed looks better. Not 100% sure about the line height, but thanks for this!

Hi, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Will take your questions into account for the next interview.

Regarding the UX/etc, is is that bad? Any suggestions to improve? I'm not sure if the ycombinator is that much better to be honest, but I might be missing something, and I'm open for improvements!

Thanks for the feedback. How can we improve it for next time?

bodiam··on Tricks to Monetize Your Side Projects
Actually, I have another project (in progress), which is a collection of curated blogposts. The name is http://www.bestprogrammingbooks.com

It's mostly books I like, and books I've read, but it's current revenue comes from Amazon affiliates. I know affiliates are often frowned upon, but I do my best to not recommend anything crap ;)

bodiam··on Tricks to Monetize Your Side Projects
Much appreciated for your feedback. I think we'll go for option 2, especially for the recommendations. Also, one of our services will be continuous monitoring of your ranking and performance, so that any changes done to your site are reflected in a timely fashion. This could match with a subscription service.

At the moment, I think we don't want to recommend specialised hosting when we cannot prove it will benefit their site, but we might add a host comparison to get better data on this.

Thanks again for the help, your feedback is much appreciated!

bodiam··on Tricks to Monetize Your Side Projects
Very interesting article. We are also working on a small side project, called https://www.MetaGrader.com

We are aware of the aesthetics of the site, and working on that, but we have some discussions on how to monetise it; should we go for a credit system (with weekly reports about your site, historic information, automated improvement tips), should we go for selling expert advice, or should we focus on other things, like advertising, reselling services like pingdom/gtmetrix, etc?

We would value your opinion in this!

Thats because at least Vert.x, Ratpack and Spark are missing.
bodiam··on Things the Google Play Store Should Add, Change
I've added it as a comment to the blog, but to keep it central, I'll add it here:

Having migrated from iOS to Android, the thing I miss the most is 'does this app contain In App Purchases, and if so, which one'. For me it's mostly a critical criteria to either download it (if it's a lite version, containing an IAP for the full one, ie the non-consumable as you call it) or a skip it (if it contains 'buy 15000 pieces of gold for $5, ie the consumables).

At the moment, I trust almost none of the games on Android, since even some of the ones you buy contain IAP, and there's no way to find out before installing them.
