I love the 3-man office. Personally, I would just make it a 1-man office. I'm a very loud thinker and easily distracted so I really can't have anyone in the room when I'm hacking.
Hmmmmm....
Where was Twitter then?
Can you elaborate on "offline support for local caching?"
The RSS/Atom standards are a really great invention to help syndicate news in a no-fuss manner. However, a shortcoming is that you can't retrieve older articles: you can only get a fixed number of latest articles (usually 20 articles... sometimes more if they're generous!)
This is the problem PubCenter is trying to solve. We cache articles from RSS feeds and save them... allowing you to retrieve any article, at any point in time.
PubCenter essentially is what Feedly Cloud offers. Or Google Reader's RSS database (before they went defunct). In our case, we're a non-profit and don't require any signups or log any user activity. It's just free, and no strings attached.
How do we make money? The REST API is free, however we have a paid notifications service that lets you subscribe to an RSS feed and have it articles delivered via email, SMS, or your custom API endpoint. There's fine-grained control of this that's easy to manage (see imgur album)^1
Thanks for reading! Let me know if you have any questions here.
there's a paywall.
You are a poet, sir. Best answer.
When you can't speak English fluently your shop's greatest strength will be technical prowess. Soft skills take a backseat until OP learns English fluently.
Stay away from this company.
Software is about separating concerns, and decentralizing authority. Responsible engineers shouldn't be using this service.
