The command line tool I was not aware if. Now I have a little afternoon reading to do!

Some people may call it punishment, others call it progressive taxation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_tax

Trello board with lists setup like so:

[Inbox][Queue][This Week][Today][Done][Done Apr 2nd]

Text files version controlled in git:

  /notes/ 
  /notes/project1/todo.txt 
  /notes/project2/todo.txt 
  /notes/project3/todo.txt

Since I'm in terminal all day I quickly jot down todos in .txt files as I go. The real management of them is done in Trello.

I would actually. "Lists" of these types get stale after a while. Providing lusts along some defined attributes makes things interesting and can introduce one to something that would not make a typical best of list.

Netflix is doing it with their movie suggestion (ie. Strong female lead) and I'm sure they're not worried about being too "PC", though I'm sure some, somewhere have intimated at it.

About 3 years ago I was researching the same thing. There wasn't a lot of options then, and I still don't think there's a lot of options now.

Wrote a blog post to document what I found: http://www.redbridgenet.com/indian-payment-gateways-no-recur....

There's some links in there to discussions of the same. The Quora discussion is starting to fill up with what I think is spam for services that don't exactly solve the problem, but it might be worth checking out.

Alright, I've got to ask. Why is IPv6 support important?

I tried a cursory Google search, but couldn't find much. I'd love to learn why I should be paying more attention to IPv6.

Mid to upper six figures alone aught to do it.

If they can prevent the image of Robert Scoble in the shower becoming the public perception of Google Glass this time around, they might just make it.

Hilarious that this was just posted as I had to answer to it yesterday. Are we working together?

Here's an email I ended up sending yesterday in reply to a Google Page Speed Test report:

> We can address most of these issues with some further optimizations.

> One thing that will always appear in the Google Page Speed Test reports is the "Should Fix" issue with "Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content". This is a much discussed flag that Google returns that would really only work with non-modern websites, and a test that Google itself can't pass: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=....

I'd like to see that open sourced. A lot of the projects I'm involved in could use it.

These are very old and well fought battles:

URLs delivered to the browser should be root-relative https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17048

From my own experience the feedback from users came from people that migrated off Joomla, Drupal, Modx, and Django installations.

First, I should mention that I'm glad to see this dismissive and negative comment voted to the top. I was starting to worry that HN was losing its edge.

Next, you mention:

> Yet it's a blazing success in the CMS space, because of 3 things that are insanely overlooked by other CMS developers : - Ease of installation - It runs on a minimal PHP/Apache/Mysql setup (cheap hosting) - It has a great backward compatibly, unlike other solutions that break everything with each major version.

The actual, true and documented reason that WordPress has become a blazing success in the CMS space is the ease of use of the backend administration console. This comes from developer and client feedback in poll after poll of WordPress users and developers.

Regarding:

> If one compares with Drupal for instance, I mean with Drupal, a designer can go really really far without writing a single line of PHP code, aside from a few tags for templates(but it's really light). You have views, CCK and a lot of handy stuff.

I've heard Drupal developers themselves actually look to WordPress's method of having the option of handling these things in code/configuration as a net positive. It's trackable and portable.

I've got to ask. If a builder of websites was looking for something that wasn't horrible and built by smart people, which one would that be?

Congratulations and thanks for going with Automattic and not a VC firm.

From Magnus Jepson's blog: http://jepson.no/we-are-joining-automattic/

> We had talks with potential partners, including VC firms and competing companies. This led us to Automattic, who had previously shown great interest in the popularity of WooCommerce. CEO Matt Mullenweg, who is also the co-founder of WordPress, had built his company in the same distributed manner as WooThemes with a team of over 300. This was our dream partner!

Here's a question: do you have any idea of what the first initial changes might be for developer/firms and how we work with WooCommerce/WooThemes/WooMatic?

WooCommerce has already got a big chunk: http://trends.builtwith.com/shop

And they're trending up: http://trends.builtwith.com/shop/WooCommerce

Yeah. REST API + JS front-end frameworks like ReactJS look to be the future.

This is definitely unexpected. I'm guessing Auttomatic + WooThemes + Jetpack + More? is WordPress's answer to fending off the Weebly, Shopify, Wix, etc..

The WordPress admin interface hasn't changed all that much over the years. Unless the change to a darker admin theme tripped you up, I'm not sure where anyone that has any experience using anything on the internet would have much problem getting anything done with it.

They usually mean some blog engine that was just released a few weeks ago that doesn't do anything.

I was following the stream of tweets on Twitter last night for the fight as well. Clicked on a link through to a web interface of some guy's Periscope feed and he had a bit of the fight on. It was a great 6 seconds.

He was a journalist and I couldn't figure out how to find anymore from him (or maybe he was shutdown from the higher ups or got a warning from friends/colleagues).

Anyways, I spent some parts of last night trying to figure out what this Meerkat and Periscope was about (not yet a user). If anything, I could see how during big events this could be a big on-boarding method for these 2 services.

I haven't been this desperate to signup for service since begging for a G+ invite.

Envato have there own comment spam team?

Great! Make it simple to implement for all and make it affordable.

Thanks for pointing this one out to me.

After seeing this and SerpBook, I'm not really sure how I've missed these services all this time.

What I'll have to figure out now is reputability.

Awesome. I have not tried serpbook, but I'll check it out. Thanks for pointing me to it.

I'd like to see a simple line graph of a keyword and my position in the SERPs for that keyword plotted over a time.

For instance, I'd like see my position for the keyword "folsom county apple juice" at a certain point in Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr... etc.. Options for weekly, monthly, yearly.

I was at an SEO talk once and asked about that, and I got some canned response like "search optimization isn't a 'keyword' focused business anymore".

Maybe that's true, but I can see the ranks in Google Webmaster tools, and that's what I'd like to see plotted. I don't even care if it's an approximation, what I'm mostly interested in is the trend line. Am I moving up or moving down over time?

Granted, I'm pretty lazy and this might exist, but I've looked at a few services and I haven't seen it yet.

Use a WordPress Managed Hosting platform like WP Engine, Pagely, Pressable. I'm most familiar with WP Engine and what they provide you is a security layer protecting against zero-day vulnerabilities (like today's 4.2.1 update), automatic core updates, caching layer, daily snapshots, rollback, and cdn integrations if your service level includes it.

It's everything a competent server admin and webops person could handle, but if you're trying to build a startup, dedicating any resources towards that is just taking engineering talent away from building the business.

The only technical consideration you'd then be tasked with is managing your plugins. Some now have automatic point updates, but most do not. These you'll need to monitor, test, and upgrade yourself.

There's value in even outsourcing that, simple design updates and production tasks, implementing marketing and visitor tracking, etc.. When you're looking at that option, you can look to a firm (such as mine) that can take that on for you.

Thanks for posting. I just joined!

Oddly, I was searching for React Meetup groups just a couple weeks ago and the group didn't show up. (From San Francisco, search for "React"). I see that you were Founded Mar 15, 2015. I wonder if I just missed it or Meetup takes a while to index new groups.

Anyways, looking forward to the Meetups!

I just want to say thanks for posting this piece of correspondence. I love seeing real world interactions like this. It's real. It's something that really happened during day to day business. This is straight up stuff from a person that knows what they are doing and I don't see 1 word of self promotion in it at all. I need to take a cold shower.

This is really interesting. I haven't tried it, but it's definitely a new approach to designing WordPress themes (as far as I know).

Ok, I've got ask. Why isn't pinegrow.com built on WordPress?
