Saw the build earlier today, fits my work breaks perfectly.

thank you, greatly appreciated :)

no problem, thanks for the kind words though. Feedback has been awesome, getting Apple to feature it, much less so ;)

Haha well I don't know how I'd say it differently, my background is outside programming, so it was quite a process. ⊙﹏⊙

You get my upvote, I recently published animated versions of kaomoji in a 2 month sprint to learn how to create a basic Swift app, find someone to help me make the animations, and so forth (https://www.kaomotion.com). This could've certainly helped me with some of my research and creation of my own designs. I like how you deconstructed their sections. ( ಠ_ರೃ)

We are one of the few Italian web companies with an international vision and purpose. We have an onsite and partly remote, international team and we'd like to add more people who believe in our vision and would like to shape the future of our company.

We currently serve over 16.000 paying customers in 100+ different countries. The company is very healthy and financing its growth independently. You can check out our website at www.iubenda.com. The legal market has been largely untouched by the digital revolution. Our aim is to be the leading providers of online legal services. We started from offering privacy/e-commerce compliance to SMB and so far we’ve been dominating this small niche.

The positions we're hiring for: + Lawyer + Business Developer, Enterprise and Inbound Sales Agent + Senior JS Developer + UI Designer and HTML/CSS developer

Get in touch with me at simon at iubenda.com, I'm looking forward to talk to you

Hi guys, part of iubenda here. First, we know we have to work on driving a couple of points home.

There's a free, yearly or monthly subscription. The subscriptions really just divide a bigger chunk of money into smaller very affordable bits.

If you need the basic, free bit, perfect. Otherwise the SaaS system is in place for us to deliver a sophisticated service at very little up front cost. If you keep using it you get the updates pushed right to your app. The license can be reused on new projects, too.

Hard to argue with that @drdaeman. Let's say in an ideal world I'd agree with every last thing you said. Again, it sure isn't perfect, it may be a start. Worse than no developments at all? We're doing our job at iubenda to help developers/website operators to keep up with the developments that are out there right now.

Hm I think most would agree with a statement like this. On the other hand I think it's important for privacy laws to be in place. We all know how regulations are lagging years behind, so theoretically, this is just the beginning.

In the meantime it's important to comply with it with the simplest means possible imo. That's what we're trying to help with.

I've suggested in the post that something along the lines "we do not react to Do Not Track signals" may be a start. It's hard to tell what will be a standard down the road. If you do honor those signals though, a more thorough description will be in order.

Also note that (6) sets out slightly stricter standards regarding disclosure:

(6) Disclose whether other parties may collect personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across different Web sites when a consumer uses the operator’s Web site or service.

The underlying logic is the following "An operator of a commercial Web site or online service that collects personally identifiable information through the Internet about individual consumers residing in California who use or visit its commercial Web site or online service shall conspicuously post its privacy policy on its Web site". Basically what states/legislations are doing is protecting their citizens, therefore reversing that logic. So in theory I'd say yes.

Basically, commercial online services (which includes mobile apps) need to add a sentence/paragraph about how they are handling the Do Not Track header requests. This is a California OPPA amendment starting today.

We/iubenda is giving away a special discount to those affected in California, which most of you may be.

I'm not sure I'm following entirely. I agree that whoever wants to cheat can cheat and deceive their users about the fact that he/she is using personal data in a way that is contrary to privacy laws. That doesn't mean you should not inform users in a proper/legally compliant way, does it?

Hey, yeah there are two things regarding Google Analytics,

First it's in Google's terms, have a quick look here there's an interesting write up regarding this topic that covers it better than I could here in this short amount of time: http://searchengineland.com/how-many-google-privacy-policies...

Secondly GA collects personal data from your users which in most legislations means that you need to inform users about that fact (most notoriously Europe).

This is a small awareness minisite that we built to educate visitors in the simplest possible way about what behavior usually requires you to maintain a privacy policy on your site (and how we can help fixing that gap).

I thought I'd share what the two of us built in 24 hours. Here are tools I used: - Twitter Bootstrap - Product page for iPhone template (https://creativemarket.com/AlesNesetril/904-Product-page-for...) - Typekit to make the fonts stand out a little - And the lovely Symbolset

These tools were invaluable to actually get it all out there in that short amount of time.

I like to look at it this way. I recently submitted a Show HN post where I talked about how just going step by step will benefit you in a great way and how you can build on those experiences. The pyramid metaphor is a nice one.

Thanks for the nice words @rglover. I'm wondering do other people know about your projects or is it a personal, stealth thing? Also I don't think that is helping @wiradikusuma. Is funding something you are actively pursuing? I wouldn't worry about that, build something with a little revenue possibility, or at least something that people will enjoy using. Then you can still eye the whole funding news?

That's my single most important take away from the last 12 months. Going slowly, doing small projects and growing as you go has helped me actually making something. The benefits were massive, reduced stress level and getting to know interesting people along the way. It's really just a small thing I'm releasing today, but it's something I take a little pride in.

Remember the voices that think not enough hackers get into stuff that matters? This is a hugely interesting talk about what the future could look like and about some of the workings of our brains.

I have informed the curators/initiators of these comments, so hopefully some of the suggestions will be picked up.

Well there's one simple advice: be authentic, have a voice.

Apart from that it's hard work. A simple guide can be found on kissmetrics that I'll post below. Check out @soundcloud and @david community management to learn from one of the best in the market.

Yes @sixtofour that is what I am secretly hoping for. Being part of this community makes you wonder who's with you (voice or no voice). Again, I have searched for stats on this and since I couldn't find any I posted this question.

That is an interesting service. We had something similar in mind that we thought was worth building. The real time layer seems to add something to HN that makes it a lot easier to follow (and "manipulate" probably as well). But it is time consuming as well as @Hynek says.

Oh yeah, did not know that. Thanks for the info.

I recently blogged an interesting approach by an app (called livepath) which let people buy into a beta account. Whenever the beta was a bit further developped he dropped the pricing a bit. Here's the link: http://blog.thegodfounder.com/post/5894377639/lifepaths-sign...

Yeah sure.

Thanks for the article. I do agree that these viral launch pages may only work if there's a special set of conditions met. I am actually right now writing a comprehensive article about it (I hope it will be at least). So, thanks for the opinion.

The first twitter engineer is Florian Weber, at least he's always called that here in Berlin and Techcrunch is referring to him as that. I always thought it was an interesting story, that's also why I shared this article.

Here's a longer article about the guy: http://eu.techcrunch.com/2011/05/09/exclusive-the-story-of-t...

Yes there is a European version of Techcrunch, even a French one if I'm not mistaken. But they are normally not as interesting in my opinion. However, and that's why I cared to share, they are starting to write more about the Berlin scene. I find it rather fascinating to watch how the startup scene is starting to take off here with SoundCloud, Wooga and ResearchGate being the first stars (If you want to learn something about professional copycats google Samwer Brothers, they've done some 25 exits from Berlin, but I don't think they deserve to be mentioned more than that).

So for me the two million in funding (among them Ashton Kutcher) are sensational news but let me shed some more light on the actual product. As their landing page says already (http://amenhq.com/) it's revolving around opinions and ratings but in a highly semantic and mobile way.

I don't think it has anything to do with color, I think of this team rather highly.

However there's another Berlin startup that does what color does but imo is something I would actually USE: http://eyeem.com. It's an interesting mix in between color and instagram.

@rhizome I hope your question in particular could be answered, although he is in fact also an important part of the techrunch story I linked to in the first place.

EDIT: Ah I've just seen that @rhizome might be referring to the actual article on techcrunch, that left a lot of details out? Were you referred to that article (http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/21/ashton-kutcher-and-madonnas...) instead of this one: http://eu.techcrunch.com/2011/07/22/ashton-kutcher-and-madon... ?

Usually buy a new Moleskine or Muji notebook.
