I'm not 100% sure how most people could use this service. While in Lithuania I could get unlimited text messages (to send inside the country) for less than 5 euros (that's probably like $6), I doubt it would go for long since the text messages would be one-way and they would block me.

Surely, all providers with cheapish text messaging plans would have clauses for commercial uses?

You should look into finding a girlfriend! I suppose, that's the main thing you should do this week!

And I'll just vent here a bit since you can't really help me much. Currently working on a project for about a month (on and off, not much free time), everything is working smoothly and I'm ALMOST ready for the launch. But. My head can't think of a project name and consequently, the logo (not that I'd be great at making one). The biggest headache for the week for me, heh.

Okay, I feel a bit better now.

This actually does seem fairly interesting.

Though, not sure if a touch-screen is the best thing for this kind of games because of a bit of the delay? Any functionality to account for that? :)

Sadly, don't have an Apple device and can't try it properly.

EDIT: P.S. The demo does seem to do the event on mouse release which kind of feels bad.

I'd probably just stick to having the authentication via main social sites - Facebook, Twitter, Google. And most likely include GitHub for the hackers.

I usually do sites and get tired of them and have little knowledge about marketing them.

Currently, looking at selling ampoll.com. I probably just want too much but I'd rather just not sell if the selling price would make me feel shame towards myself :)

I'm not very technical but why do you need to use pagekite instead of something like ngrok, which offers fairly good functionality when registered, for free?

The problem would probably be driving the users out because of some features not working/working incorrectly.

I should maybe just do very thorough inside beta with a few selected people I know to fix up at least the most annoying things.

I'm using KeePass too.

Mind to not accidentally go to .com instead of .info.

If I'm on the same machine - the links are gray so I just skip them.

Of course, coming home after work means I might just open same links I have opened at work.

Though, I'm not overcomplicating it all.

I'd say it's a dream of every developer.

I'm currently working full-time developer for a single product. But trying to find at least a few evenings a week to work on my side project that miiight just take off. I'm a bit sceptical about the success but you never know! At least I'm having fun doing it, right?

Dragdis seemed to be a great solution for a while for me. Until they decided to drop every browsing platform except for Chrome. So if you're using Chrome - you're still in luck.

Just register, install the plugin. You can create folders for various stuff. Drag n droping opens the plugin on the side and you can drop it to any folder you want.

Still sad about them dropping Firefox.

I have never tried this but had my fair share of Umbraco. How does this CMS compare to Umbraco?

The boid do seem to to like to hit their pals a lot though.

I've also noticed that the boids do seem to only care about obstacles when they're really close to them. I've added a small gap in a huge line of obstacles and they seem to never fly through it - looks liek they'd rather fly through the obstacles themselves more often.

Nonetheless, interesting to watch. I'm testing it on default settings.

Most of the websites are swamped with Indian developers, sadly. And they're usually the cheapest ones. So while I'm not saying that Indian developers are bad, they're kind of taking the online market with the cheapest and usually, not the best quality options.

Kind of offtopic, but if you're still looking for a developer, I'm sure I could help you with my services. I have commented on a recent "Freelancer?.." and you can find my email there.

That was an interesting read, thanks! Sounds like the country is amazing and giving.

I'll have dreams about it tonight ;)

I'd think that Switzerland is one of the hardest countries to move to because of all the prices. Starting to live there should be VERY expensive. I wonder if anyone's had to go through that experience?

P.S. I'd love to live in Switzerland, being in the somewhat-neutral land where you're not that threatened by Russia or other things that might make your days miserable :|

Hey, well, I've looked at it. But I can't seem to find any clues how to send an application/register on the site.

Hi, you can find the website in my submission history. Sorry, I don't want to let google have too much fun caching the link on their search.

Hey! I've sent you an email with all the specifics that I could think off.

I guess, good things come expensive? That's VERY expensive :(

We're using DO. But it does not scale automatically, requires shutting down etc.

Oh! This is sadly a bit too late as I've recently switched from Highcharts to Flot because I did not want to buy the so-expensive commercial license for Highcharts.

I like how minimalistic the graphs look. Though, missing the pie chart.

I might just switch to this if I see that it's going somewhere ;)

Regarding the "branding" - we've added the logo and a little text "built on ampoll.com" for our poll images so users know where the poll results are coming from. Other than that, we're trying to keep it minimal and not include too many intrusive branding to the pages.

tally.tl looks very sleek!

But I'd say, that while the purpose is very similar - quick poll creation, our take on it is a bit different. tally creates a, possibly, fastest possible poll creation method. Ours includes some customisation (not in a design perspective, except for the poll design style); real-time results viewing (both admin and user end); image creation for embeding to sites, forums (that update automatically).

Pretty sad Blackberry user here, who wants a new smartphone with qwerty physical keyboard.

Blackberry went totally "hit or miss" with this one (I suspect the latter). Looking at it, personally, I feel disappointed that they sacrificed a full quality keyboard to use a bigger screen. From the main article image it is clearly seen that some of the physical controls (the caps button, punctuation symbols) are now actually not physical anymore. I don't really quite see the point in this since you'll still have them mostly anywhere (for what blackberry is used - various messaging) so why not make them physical? Blackberry is pretty used to making widthy (width > height) smartphones so why have they gone full 1:1 is strange to me.

Hopefully, a decent qwerty smartphone comes out some time until my Blackberry totally dies on me.

Is it something that people could actually benefit from?

I would imagine it could only be used by people reading personal emails. But why would you speed read them?

Business emails might include lists, images, urls and this thing would break horribly.

In my opinion, emails by me are rarely read end to end (except for personal emails) and I usually just skim through them to get the general idea and then read on the specifics that I care about.

Firefox 30 (Windows 7) does not seem to show the world map.

The project seems to be similar to http://earth.nullschool.net/ , which does offer a lot more functionality.

Same issue on Windows 7 + Firefox 30.

I would not want that on my live sites, heh.

EDIT: I would suspect, the site does not last long from the HN hug.

Show mercy to your users!

Well, it's pretty clear what HN is interested in. 10 minutes later the database is crashing!
