zachinglis··on Hosting disrupted – 1 second installs, forking apps, container-based
Right now, a badge. We're contemplating what exactly to give. I suspect there'll be discounts and special rewards in the future though.

A startups life is really given life by the early adopters. And we think we should recognise those people for believing in us :) Hopefully we can in this way.

It's on our request list. If we get a lot more then we'll add it as starter.

However, it's supported and you're welcome to run it :)

http://jumpstarter.io/technical should answer a lot of your questions, however…

nginx, php, mariadb, etc. Everything highly polished :)

300k http(s) requests.

Everything is super optimised, so don't worry about where things are. It's all been meticulously tested for speed. HOWEVER, they're separately on a Ceph cluster.

Right now; no. We've got support in the works but we wanted to get the features tighter before we added another language. We use Node ourselves for our sites and it's important to us (and me) that we have it.

tl;dr very very soon! :)

Hi, Creative Director of Jumpstarter here :) Feel free to ask any questions.
zachinglis··on Hosting disrupted – 1 second installs, forking apps, container-based
Indeed! :) The idea is that you can create starters for your projects.
zachinglis··on Why you should move that button 3px to the left
Every once in a while this article pops up rewritten in another form.

Attention to details is fantastic, but the mark of the best designer is one who ships. It is in fact the mark of the best artist who is pixel perfect. This is not saying that you shouldn't be fixating on the details - but don't let it interfere with the client's goals of actually being out there.

zachinglis··on The terrifying surveillance case of Brandon Mayfield
Where are you getting these 'facts' about how people are going to behave from?

Truly, if it changes one person's mind then it's done some good. This alone won't change anything but spreading this to allow people to see there are kinks in the armour will allow people to perhaps vote in the future for difference.

When the majority is against something, sometimes some good can be done. Not always. The government is all powerful, but there is a chance.

They'll still have Jumpstarter flow – they just won't get the 1-Click ability and it won't be customised for that particular framework.

Each framework we offer generally comes with a customised stack in one way or another. :)

zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
Rather than picking a number out the air, we're going to use the next few weeks to see people's usage so we can give the fairest price for the service.

We're working on what we think is the best for everyone and will announce it when we decide :)

zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
We're using Desk.com - There status page seems to suggest they had no issues. I'll have a look and see if I can locate the problem.

It isn't flat as it's semi-3D. But even so, that's not a reason to feel it's good - that's just a reason to feel it's current-ish.
zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
I agree. One of my priorities is to create a developer landing page specifically.

Again, really appreciate the feedback :)

zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
We've put the list up on the homepage now :)
zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
It is somewhat legacy, and I personally don't use a ton of it. But the designer world loves it - new frameworks are constantly still coming out on PHP.

I stopped using PHP so much for that very video. It's very like DHH's video, that's what we're aiming to do.

Appreciate it.

zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
The idea is firstly to take the pain out of hosting, rethink a lot of things (how people collaborate, and use it - think forking and merging like Git.

The idea is to help be people's tech partner as they innovate and create, taking some of the pain away and giving them more time.

I hope I explained it better? :)

zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
Of course. But 1 minute is better than 30, right?

And then you have to maintain it.

zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
We will put special landing pages for each framework up eventually. But for now, everyone knows what Wordpress, etc is and what to expect within the framework.

Is there any more information you'd love to know and think should be included that you're looking for now about those frameworks and what we do with them?

zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
We're trying to make it as few clicks as possible. If you have any requests feel free to mention them through http://help.jumpstarter.io/

We're really keen on working with the community.

zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
Free for development, fixed fee per project per month for live hosting.
zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
The status page link is online and will track any page outages. http://jumpstarter.statuspage.io
zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
I'm going to stick my hand up and say "My fault." We're updating the website a lot right now and it takes a little for Cloudfare to repropogate everything.

About – The people are the about. We could write a story about who we are and what we do - I agree. But that's not the most important task any of us could have done. Help going to the support center is standard. Blog is being removed.

Appreciate the feedback though :)

zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
I totally agree. That's why the team has focused on PHP and PHP frameworks mostly for now. Getting the scripts as right as possible over the months.

And we've been using respected members of the other language communities to build up the stacks.

I know for someone like me I want one hosting account for everything if I can. I hate multiple accounts and it's nice to just see everything in one place.

zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
Should be fixed now :)
zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
Try again. CDN should be holding now.
zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
Being actively worked on! :)
zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
It's part of the plan. We're working together with people like Chad Fowler to bring that to life. But this is the initial launch with a smaller offering for now.
zachinglis··on Hello Hacker News
Right. But most developers aren't server admins and don't want to be.

I press a few buttons and a server is up and ready! :)

zachinglis··on Retraction from Tumblr
It's not really a product. It's a page that says "Tumblr is up" or "Tumblr is down." Very very niche and incredibly limited functionality.
