rezamanon Uber Experiments With A Courier Service In New York City

You can do this in Uber's current state. There are already people sending their kids to school with Uber.

rezamanon Craigslist Suing Padmapper

I wonder why craigslist hasn't shut down http://housingmaps.com yet. They appear to be doing the exact same thing as padmapper and mapskrieg, albeit with a much smaller feature set.

rezamanon Convert Any Webpage to an Image

Nicely done. I released something similar a month ago: http://instantscreenshot.com

Do you plan on charging for this at some point? I've noticed my bandwidth costs are double due to the traffic coming to my site and the traffic my site generates to get the screenshot.

rezamanon Show HN: Website Screenshots Made Easy

To grab the screenshots I'm using PhantomJS. The webapp itself is running on the Play framework though.

rezamanon Show HN: Website Screenshots Made Easy

I just got it working with PhantomJS and I must agree it does look a lot better. The problem with external fonts is still there so I'll have to crack open QtWebkit to see if we can't fix that.

rezamanon Show HN: Website Screenshots Made Easy

Thanks. I'll put it on the list.

As for PhantomJS, I hadn't heard of it. I was originally rendering the screenshots with Selenium and the FirefoxDriver. They came out looking good, but performance was abysmal and when a page froze up I needed a mechanism to kill firefox manually.

Now I'm using Wordpress's Mshots service, but I'm looking at a couple of python tools to generate headless screenshots.

rezamanon Show HN: Website Screenshots Made Easy

Yea, it's not quite polished just yet so you get the occasional failure to load a screenshot. I figured I'd gauge interest before dumping a bunch of time to clean up the edge cases.

Also, I just did timecube and it looks like it's working for me: http://instantscreenshot.com/screenshot/b1

rezamanon Show HN: Website Screenshots Made Easy

I'm not sure how useful is for everyone else, but I always thought grabbing a screenshot of a url could be improved.

rezamanon A table that should exist in all projects with a database

Although the project is still pretty young, liquibase(http://www.liquibase.org/) is a solid opensource project for not only managing schema revisions, but inserting seed data as well as abstracting schema structure from DBMS.

Nathan also does a good job of applying submitted patches quickly.

rezamanon I just need a programmer

This seems like a very good analogy to present when you come across non-technical people with pie-in-the-sky requests. They don't know how to go about building the features they dream of, and I have no idea how to go about answering any of the questions you list above. If nothing else, we both realize that the programming isn't just trivial, and neither is the marketing.

rezamanon A Private, Anti-Foursquare To Geo-Fence Those Neer To You

Congrats you guys! Good to hear the app is gaining some solid traction.

rezamanon San Diego HN meetup is tonight 7:30pm-9:30pm Broadway Coffee in Kearny Mesa

This sounds pretty cool. I didn't realize San Diego had this many HN'ers. Count me in.

rezamanon Chile as a silicon valley alternative?

I just got back from Chile and, while I can't speak for the government incentives, I was very surprised at how developed it was for a South American country. Santiago's metro system put anything else I've ever seen to shame.

The landscape was strangely similar to California except it gets colder as you go South, and warmer as you go North. And yea, the surf was pretty awesome too.
