phankinson··on Ask HN: How do you track issues, todos, features?
Thanks for the recommendation. We do have some screenshots on the features page. Ideally next iteration will have more focus on the screenshots. Much of our design is changing at the moment while in beta.
phankinson··on Ask HN: How do you track issues, todos, features?
I'm actually working on a new start-up to try to take a stab at this problem. Would love to get some beta users, if any of you are interested: http://hellofocus.com/

She's glitching hard now... haha
phankinson··on Show HN: go-reveal (reveal.js + GoInstant for multi-user presentations)
Awesome guys! Would be killer to include something like PollDaddy. That way you could do presentations and gather real time data from the audience. Maybe I'll extend goreveal to do just that :)
phankinson··on Fully Responsive Web IDE (Java, C++, Python, Pascal)
Thanks. I think we've gotta spend some time making the site less bootstrap like.

Thanks Scott.

Yah, we've been hearing it quite a bit. It might be mostly because of the colors. We'll probably look at toning it down in the near future.

Bootstrap FTW. It was actually pretty complicated to implement and there is lots of customized javascript for scaling all the way down to an iPhone.

Welcome any feedback on the product. Our team has been working very hard on it.

Really cool. You may even get some additional data from AngelList.
phankinson··on Ask HN: CPM on Android/iPhone?
lol - sorry!
phankinson··on HN, would love your feedback on my idea
Wow - 28,000 registered users!!! Definitely going to ask around in these forums.
phankinson··on HN, would love your feedback on my idea
Exactly.... This is the key pain point we are trying to solve! Glad to see you think it would be useful :)
phankinson··on HN, would love your feedback on my idea
Cool, thanks for the link.
phankinson··on HN, would love your feedback on my idea
Thanks for the feedback. I agree with you, and we thought HN might be one of the best places to get some feedback, since this is where a lot of tech entrepreneurs hang out. I'm hoping the audience here can spread it to anyone they feel the idea may be relevant to.
phankinson··on HN, would love your feedback on my idea
Absolutely - I'm familiar with the companies out there. However, those companies typically only focus on a few banks to do an automated reports. Also, from bank statements and credit card statements you can't get granular information like amount paid for multiple items from one store or even the tax you paid.

Our solution would take your receipts and invoice, extract that granular data and feed it back into a system for the business owners.

phankinson··on How do you test your mobile websites? Apps?
We currently use Device Anywhere. It's pretty good, but kind of expensive.
phankinson··on Ask HN: Good articles around metrics
Cool. That is interesting.
phankinson··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
Well, let's see: - http://www.tether.com/ - http://www.compilr.com/ - http://www.wakeful.com/ - http://www.spyreveal.com/ - And a video game!

Yes, I'm still sane...

phankinson··on What I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Startups 4 Years Ago
Bhahaha. I bursted out laughing when I saw Milton.

I agree with most of the points, but one thing I've learned in my years doing web startups is making sure their is a need for your product. Lots of Lean Startup principles are unbelievably useful at showing your idea has legs before investing any time or money into it.

At the moment PHP, C++ and Ruby can not be compiled or executed. All three require a substantial backend, but we are working on it.

Glad you like it. I'd personally like to add personalizition to the IDE so you can customize the colors and editor however pleases you.

Team collaboration is one major feature we are looking into adding. It could be setup two different ways depending on how the team would like to function. But essentially everyone could have their own codebase, or there could be one source code that everyone works from.

I haven't check out Bespin yet, but will do now.

You can create an account for free and give it a shot. In the future we will add a video and a features overview list.

We'd rather not disclose our specifics at this time.

I was hoping to have some video tutorials built beforehand, we have just been swamped. But there definitely needs to be a help page for users.
