bowline_nc··on Ask HN: My startup has concealed from me that it raised funding. What to do?
You shouldn't be in bad shape tax-wise. I don't know Canadian tax law - but in the US, you only get taxed when you sell the shares. Capital gains would not be recognized if you exercised the options and held onto the shares.

Since you have been exercising your options - you are a shareholder in the company (or a member depending on the structure) and I would imagine that the company's operating agreement would require them to disclose any funding rounds to you. I'd get a hold of that if you can.

It sounds like you're working with amateurs, so I'd pass it by a lawyer to determine the real impact on you - but I wouldn't flip out until you get the entire picture. They may be planning on diluting the hell out of you or they may just not know what the hell they're doing.

I'd say it's too early to tell.

Seconding olefoo's suggestions - and if they're providing images, throw in some actual watermarks.

Hell, it's Bootstrap, just put some copyright/payment reminders in there - it's a pretty honest crowd, I'm sure they'd get their $5 from most people.

Agreed - I was about to give it a try, but I'd need to be able to create one (even watermarked) to see the quality of what's generated before I pay.

Not sure if this message will ever see the light of day, but just wanted to let you know that I put the recipe creation in place earlier today.

Thanks again for the suggestion.

Well that's embarrassing - I woke up to a ton of errors from the contact us page this morning, so it was not just you.

Should be fixed up now, but I'll shoot you an email offline.

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks, and it's all homegrown - I was tempted to try FW1 as a starting place, but decided that I did not really need to for this...

Thanks, I probably should have done that earlier.

Thanks!

Duly noted and I completely agree. I think that I was staring at this thing for so long I forgot that not everyone will know what's going on in my mind.

I just changed those suggestions over.

Thanks for checking it out!

I can, but not as well. All you have to do is highlight the ingredients then click the bookmarklet. I parse out your selection into the ingredients if there's some kind of delimiter in there (coded, like tags or line breaks). The recipe name just takes from the title of the page.

So I normally copy the title of the recipe into my clipboard, highlight the ingredients, then click the bookmarklet. You can then paste in the recipe title and you're good to go.

It works surprisingly well for most sites.

Yeah - using Railo and have been really happy with it. Was a little worried about memory issues, but it's pretty efficient.

For the buttons, I was thinking that Edit Menu let's you add/remove recipes from your list (or multiply them). "Add Items" will let you put additional items on your list but not associated with any specific recipe.

Though for your secret ingredient, you could actually edit a similar recipe and then put in your own ingredient(s). Once it's in the db as an ingredient, the shopping list would be able to parse it out and lump it together with everything else.

I'll definitely put recipe creation in there sooner than later.

Thanks for checking it out. I'm in the process of allowing folks to create recipes - it's part of my finishing touches that should be done in the next day or so.

If nothing else, seems like people could use it for those staples in their grocery lists.

Please let me know if you have any other feedback with it.

Ha - thanks, I realized how much I was lacking in artistic ability with the logo...hence text-only... :)

Sorry - did not mean to spam. I actually transferred 20+ domains to them from godaddy today and wanted to give this group a heads up about that deal in anyone was doing the same. No offense intended.
bowline_nc··on Ask HN: Self Employed NYers, anyone getting bogus tax bills?
Yeah, I knew there was something wrong with my record, but was assured last year that it was corrected (for a second time). With a third instance, I just wanted to make sure that I was the only one.
