Hello, This is a music player that I made for myself. Its very rough but looks promising. Its mac only, I'd appreciate it if you downloaded it and gave it a whirl.

Thank you!

Hello HN, we're looking for feedback on PuzzleChat, its a fun and quirky weekend project we built. Its surprisingly addictive! We'd appreciate any feedback at all.

Sweet. Thanks for making this. It'd be awesome if you could extend the animation and show examples of complex shapes you could make with triangles.

Also, we limit the ability for a feed owner to post once a day.

An automatic retweet is an excellent way of describing it :)

To answer with regard to effectiveness: A friend making an Indie-film used it to promote his film's trailer. He got 31 people to Ecko the trailer and in literally a few hours he crossed 700 views.

The added benefit was also that he got to see which friends generated the most amount of traffic to this trailer.

Thanks to FB's newsfeed algorithm the signal/noise ration greatly varies from person to person.

Hi, Founder of Eckod here. I'd appreciate any feedback you'd have to offer and be happy to answer any questions.

"In other words you think people just out fo school can't handle 10k$ without boarmeetings but you want them to build great companies for you"

Its one meeting to decide a budget and we're not going to demand a specific budget, the startup gets to decide how much money they're going to spend and on what. Whether they stick to the budget or not is up entirely to them, we aren't going to police their money at all.

We trust them to build awesome companies which is why we're funding them in the first place.

"YC-like, my ass"

While we're inspired incredibly by YC, there are certain things we do differently simply because of different constraints. There's a lot that we do that maybe YC doesn't do, we will subsidize your living costs & working costs as much as we can should you choose to work out of Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore or Hyderabad for example.

So here's the thing... A vast majority of people who apply to us tend to have just graduated out of college and have never managed funds of any sort before. The idea behind putting a budget in place is only to give them financial structure and inculcate a sense of frugality.

That being said, if a founder tells us they'd like their money up front, we'll write them a cheque.

You don't need to relocate to IIM, you just need to be there from the 1st of June to the 10th to get your company incorporated and some awesome workshops we plan to have.

Ideally, we'd like you to work out of either Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore or Hyderabad. We can give you living & working space in any of these cities.

Also, if you've just got an idea and no prototype or implementation of any sort as yet, we typically invest between 2-5 lakhs and take an average of 6% in equity.

If you've got a product out and some traction of some sort, we're open to other options.

I'm the program manager for iAccelerator and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

The design's pretty cool.

I love that they made this announcement via a press release on their blog and not an 'exclusive interview' with a specific news outlet.

A couple of cents off individually might not matter. A couple of cents off cumulatively across a few hundred thousand individuals over a few years does matter.

Its stored on the server all the time. NO personal information about you is collected at all, user ID's are assigned randomly.

There are super cool social features coming up in a bit...hence the saving of the data.

I'm using all the proceeds to fund my startup: Picfiti

Picfiti helps you leave virtual notes on real world objects and places using your phone camera.

Take a photo of an object and type in a message to save it. When a friend comes along and takes a photo of the same object, they'll see the message you left for them!

I agree with everything you said with one exception. It will be possible at some point to be the head of multiple science fields because our method of learning and storing information is changing completely.

We're making this fundamental shift from storing as much as we can in our heads to storing information outside our heads and learning more efficient ways of looking things up.

As the depth and breadth of our collective knowledge base increases so will our capacity to access, make connections and implement that knowledge.

I'm using the openCV library with .NET for some image recognition. I've looked at imageMagick but its not suited to this purpose unfortunately.

Thanks for the offer !

The reason I'm using .NET is becuase I'm comfortable using the openCV library with it.

I'm a total noob when it comes to linux/unix, but I'm sure with a little work I can get my app running entirely on linux.

Can I take you up on your offer ? To be honest the only thing I can offer in return at the moment is "Hosting generously provided by..." banner on the site.

Believe me, I grasp the idiocy and irony of owning a macbook & an iphone and not having $75 to spare. Life's like that sometimes.

With regard to the hosting, it has to be a VPS becuase I'm relying on openCV for some basic image recognition.

Thanks for all the responses so far !

I agree that $100 doesn't seem like a lot to raise for hosting services.

A couple of things things to the contrary though; First, Its a lot harder to raise a $100 when you're from a third world country :) Second, I do have a little money to spare, but its parked aside "In case shit happens". Finally, Life sometimes puts you in a place where raising even a $100 is hard to do. I understand that running a homeserver for this sort of thing violates my ISP's terms of service, if I could put the money together for hosting, I would.
