Can you do anything so the images are looking good on mobile as well?

I would say this is impossible to predict since is very much related to how the government & society would react.

thanks for pointing out.

good resource, thanks!

thanks for letting me know!

Seeing lots of people in our team passionated about photography I thought such initiative would boost their motivation, help our projects and the community and it worked.

If you are wondering how this is better or different than sites like Pexels for e.g, is the very first reason sites like Pexels exist since they are just a search engine getting photos for independent photographers and sites like this one.

Thanks for the tip, will check this out!

guessing intent it proven to be really complex topic, we can definetively ask questions and get user feedback to tweak the results once we have more data.

is doing this sometimes, I think we need to tweak it a bit. Thanks!

I chose to exclude those on purpose, I am not sure if people are that much interested in them, considering especially that some are quite expensive. I think however that some short ones like .win .rocks can be allowed.

Particularly, I don't mind using such domains, we started for e.g revive.social and I don't see any problem with it

not really, we are automatically showing only avaialable domains ( checking this against an API before displaying the results)

hey! Thanks for the honest feedback, we are trying to play with phoenetic and just show some keywords and not domains, we'll look into it :)

good point, I thought that people tend to buy right away, however you might be right, it worth at least experimenting with a favourite function, probably can be done without requiring an account neither.

is not mobile, but I noticed indeed a but when there are no results for a particular keyword.

Hey! Thanks for feedback, we saw indeed that engagement isn't that great with the section and I didn't thought about the "handpicked" stuff. We started with some pretty much random generic domains there and are looking to build a database of handpicked stuff :)

We have started the project during a hackaton here at Themeisle and just managed to launch a beta version for it.

While before I was wondering why there aren't any good tools for this, soon I realise that is much more complex than I thought, for now we are using various existing APIs from Godaddy,DomainsBot and DataMuse with custom rules, exclusions and suggestions to make sure we deliver much better results.

It seems that the only good solution for now and something we are working on is to integrate MTurk or microworkers and generate suggestions "on-the-fly", while building a nice database of data, I am passionated about ways that we can build a smart searh/suggestion engine "backed" by humans, will see how much it makes sense.

:( too late now, let me edit the article and add a short TOC, hope this will help.

Most of the questions are about how they can customise the look of their site, unfortunately most are out of the theme capabilities.

On the another note, I appreciate that you took the time to leave your thoughts here, I find it useful since I mostly got positive but not many constructive messages.

I am not saying this is constructive, however it helps me realising how other people are thinking about our journey, even if some of them don't say it loud.

I agree, that's why I earn less and yes, is not cool to say that to the employees :)

Hey,

Our main product got suspended from the w.org repository ( in short )

It was a sort of the experiment to see how this will influence engagement.

Hey @205guy,

Not sure what to say about first accusation, I haven't personally asked anybody to leave 'good looking' comments here, sure I bragged that we got on HN front-page, but I saw that is a flag/hide button that you can use in case you don't find this useful.

For next next part, the goal here wasn't to brag about how much money we made or we make, it was a story that I was encouraged to post initially on IndieHackers, I don't think the fact that we now make 50k instead of 100k makes the article less interesting, I would say the otherwise, sure if it would have been a gossip article, it might have worked better with a higher number.

Now the suspension story is too specific and complex to argue with you same for regarding the business model and innovation that we bring, I am happy that we have been able to bring amazing free products in front of that many people, while finding a business model to fund the initiative, same for managing to build team of amazing people.

Hey!

As I noted before Karol isn't only writing stuff, this is in fact a small part of his job, he is editing/managing our other writers and he get's paid on an hourly basis.

The deal that we have is a bit more complex, but to get an idea we pay >$50 / hour.

He finished a computer science university, funny enough I don't know much more about his story, I need to ask :D http://karol.cc

Hey,

The load is quite big here too, especially considering the fact that we support free themes as well. What is challenging is to educate the users and help them understand that paying one time, upfront isn't helping them in the long run :)

For me this is quite old fashioned Google approach, the whole medium re-posting + HN exposure I am sure it would have done better, even if the re-posting was on our site.

At least how I understand Google and I saw from some tests, he is quite smart in getting if an article/site is delivering great content or not and ignoring such issues.
