narendranag··on Ask HN: Simplest tool to build a web app
I've been using Codeigniter - a PHP framework. It's very very well documented -- you have to read the documentation to see how good it is. And the input class is very good at handling most XSS/SQL Injection type attacks.
narendranag··on Ask HN: Please Review My Project (JS Game Engine)
It looks very interesting!
narendranag··on Ask HN: PHP or ROR.
If you're comparing the languages, Ruby beats PHP any day. But if you're comparing PHP with ROR, then you need to throw in a Rails like framework for PHP.

I recommend Codeigniter - www.codeigniter.com

narendranag··on How a plagiarized portrait of Obama ended up hanging in the white house
Since when has art been reduced to the image on canvas? What matters is the artist's motive, the reason behind the work. That's what separates art from commercial design -- after all, in both places you see original images, but only the first qualifies as art.

I don't think this qualifies as plagiarism. After all, didn't Andy Warhol take a soup can and repeat it over and over again. I don't remember the soup company crying plagiarism. Or the designer who first came up with the soup can cover.

narendranag··on Ask HN: Is Drupal a good choice for apllication that wants to reli on AJAX?
Codeigniter is easily one of the better PHP frameworks, with a very easy learning curve. The documentation is fantastic and will help you get off the ground very quickly. If you're comfortable with PHP and MVC coding, then you could also check out Yii.

Noida
narendranag··on Ask PG: When should founders start taking a salary?
We're a three-person, three month old startup and we started paying ourselves as soon as we quit our day jobs. (It helped that we managed to get a client for the base version of our product (a web based app) in the first month itself.) At the moment, two of us have quit our jobs and the third is hanging on to his while we code-code-code.

However, we do have salary bands -- bare survival money, doing well money and bring it on money. Currently we're withdrawing survival money. We're hoping to change that pretty quick by spending all our time coding and getting our product out pronto :)
