Hello, fellow hackers! Author of LDAP DN here.

Recently, I was working on a legacy PHP project that synchronises LDAP teams and users. I found several bugs relating to poor DN “parsing” using regexes and string replacement.

There has to be a better way of doing it, I thought. Alas, there’s not much choice in the PHP ecosystem when it comes to parsing DNs. While there are a few libraries and even PHP’s own `ldap_explode_dn()`, I think they don’t have clean APIs.

So I wrote LDAP DN. It breaks down DNs into RDNs and attributes, supports escaping, allows basic manipulation and has 100% test coverage.

Let me know what you think!

Don’t blame yourself. Estimation is extremely hard.

A mix of both.

I charge regular clients (the ones that I do some work for every month) by the hour.

I use a spreadsheet to track my time.

Less regular clients, I estimate the project and bill them a fixed amount.

Shameless plug: For estimating projects I use a web app I built (https://estipad.com). It lets me break projects down into tasks and subtasks and estimate those instead of the whole project. It also generates a PDF that can go straight to the client.

Do you use a tool that supports this methodology or do you calculate it manually?

Hi guys. I’m the founder and sole developer of Estipad.

Estipad is a web app that lets you break down a project into small tasks for easier estimation. When you’ve finished, you can download a PDF estimate ready to send to a client.

Estipad started as a basic CodePen that I used to calculate project estimates for my freelancing clients. A few of my developer friends liked it, so I decided to build it into a web app.

I’d love to hear your feedback and will happily answer any questions you may have.

Hi HN!

I’m the developer behind this. I’ll be happy to answer any questions.

We’ll also be releasing iOS and Android ports soon.

Thanks for this. Good to know about it.

Isn’t that against Google’s T&Cs? I’m sure a website is not allowed to present different content to GoogleBot than it does to regular users. Not sure if there’s a rule that says it can’t present different content when a user clicks on a search result vs goes directly to the website or from another referrer.

Not a lot but it’s something. And I built the validator without even thinking about monetizing so it’s quite nice to get rewarded with some pocket money.

It’s not 100% passive, as I do spend a little time maintaining it and adding new features, but what income is 100% passive?

SEEKING WORK – Remote (am based in London for meetings if needed)

I’m a web guy and can do both design and development. HTML, CSS, LESS, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Python, PHP, etc.

I’ve worked with businesses like Buzzdeck, Shoply, Kobalt and many more.

I also do open source stuff. I’m the creator of jQuery Credit Card Validator (http://jquerycreditcardvalidator.com) and Forrst Like Button (http://forrstbutton.com).

I think the core of the framework needs to be written from the ground up. The core is the basis of Django’s API. Trying to mimic it on another framework’s core would hinder the development at some point.

Well, you could ask the same about Zend, Laravel or Symphony — what’s different between them? Even though they support most of the same features, they’re implemented in unique ways. None of them are like Django, though. I think it’d be cool to have a Django-like framework for PHP.

Thanks. Why not?

Not in production until it reaches a stable version.

It’ll be open source so I’m hoping others will jump on board and help with development and bug fixes.

Hey, I’m the developer of jQuery Credit Card Validator. Thanks for using it!

EDIT: Also, if anyone needs help with jCCV, get in touch at @PawelDecowski.

I just got mine now (almost 45 minutes after this submission to HN) so yours is probably still in the queue.

It’s my pet peeve. It seems there actually is a link to the product but it’s mislabeled as “About”.

SMS message is correct. SMS stands for short message service.

Instead, you should use CSS:

    <li class="facebook">Facebook</li>

    .facebook {
        background-image: (...)
        padding-left: (...)
    }

I love the idea and the execution! Well done. It's more of a novelty than a business but still very impressive.
