Author never heard of Electrical Engineers? I have graduated at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, the Computer Science department, and got a title of a Master of Electrical Engineering. Pretty sure I can call myself an engineer...

Yeah, my guess is that they share the same concept - expose triggers via HTTP(s) to run user commands. The webhook handling put on some additional requirements on my project: to go a little bit beyond piping the input to the script :-)

Oh yeah, I feel you! I was also on DALnet, and saw the exodus to other networks, EFnet, IRCnet, Undernet, QuakeNet... But as you said, they just didn't feel "right". I.e. some of them had "weird-looking" services as opposed to the DALnet's ChanServ, NickServ etc... :-)

Do you remember "PHP-Nuke" craze, everyone was creating community portals where members were able to post news, polls, etc...

Good old times :)

I've had a similar idea after looking for something like this to use as a log for interesting stuff that I found on the internet. I ended up building a small ruby app for this (https://github.com/adnanh/mikro) and it powers my (b)log which is still alive at http://blog.hajdarevic.net/

Since then, I've wanted to enhance it with URL unfurling, link preserving in terms of creating a snapshot of the linked URLs, smart bookmarklet etc... but never got around to doing it, as life tends to get busy, and other things take priority over that :-(

I'm re-reading the threads, and I can't stop wondering if this whole mess could have been avoided by simply posting a "Ask HN: As a TripleByte user, would you mind having a default public profile..." question here on HN? Anyway, I still believe that asking your target audience for an opinion is a better way than trying to think instead of them. Steve Jobs might have gotten away with that, but we are not Steve Jobs, or Apple for that matter... Not trying to say that Steve didn't listen to the audience though, I bet he did, but he had some strong opinions on how something should be.

Just curious, did you have any engineers/product owners telling you that you should probably not do this feature, especially not push so hard (doing stuff late on Friday that can easily wait for Monday, etc...) to get it out?

They got to somehow justify the need for better hardware I guess... And it appears that the trend is to make everything more and more bloated. Take browsers for example, we used to browse the web just fine on devices that were as powerful as raspberry pi 2 for example, but nowadays we can barely launch a browser on such devices, let alone use it for real.

Oh, did you check the spam folder?

We are using sendmail to dispatch mails from digital ocean servers where the app is hosted, so it's quite possible it's getting picked up as a spam based solely on the IP :(
