I tried this service and ran 2 campaigns with different groups of friends. It was amazing. DND was something I wanted to try for a long time but the barrier to entry was (at least, perceived to be) really high.

Great to see this finally launching. I'll be recommending this service to anyone who's interested in dipping their toe into DND. I also love that you're making being a "Professional Dungeon Master" a plausible future career choice. :)

Stopwatch (http://stopwatch.com) | iOS Engineer | 100% remote

Stopwatch is building a new social network. Interesting product with some new ideas. Small remote team of 4 and some great investors. We’re currently pre-launch.

We're looking for an additional iOS engineer to help build the app.

If you’re interested in learning more please email jon@stopwatch.com.

I'm curious.... is there some sort of crazy image recognition tech going on here or does the website owner need to somehow identify what's in the image for the ads to work? If it's the former then this is seriously impressive.

Actually, if you price us up against other _linen_ bedding you’ll see that we’re incredibly competitive. Something comparable would cost upwards of $600.

Once you factor in the fact that linen lasts up to 10x as long as cotton the price becomes much more stomachable.

Hey!

Really appreciate the feedback.

For me the value is in knowing everything is backed up and saved. I very rarely actually need access to my old notes and sketches from previous notebooks but there’s a lot of sentimental value there for me.

If a note I take is actually time sensitive or needs to be referenced soon, I still have the physical notebook to reference.

I have (low quality photos of) sketches of old ideas that later become companies. The notebooks themselves are long gone but I love that I still have some kind of digital backup.

I’d eventually like to get the price of mod notebooks down so they’re on par with other notebooks that don’t have the digitizing bundled in (it’s already pretty close).

This is actually the pain point we were trying to solve with mod. Each time we'd fill up a notebook we'd manually take pictures of every page and save it to evernote. If you've ever done this you'll know...

- It takes FOREVER.

- Pictures are blurry / out of focus / misaligned

- There's a limit to the number of pictures you can attached to a note in evernote so each notebook ends up needing to be spread between a few different evernote "notes".

- Evernote really isn't designed to consume this kind of content. (We have an app designed specifically for this: http://app.modnotebooks.com/demo)

Good question. I have a few ideas that I'm going to be pursuing.

- Setup a deal with flipclips.com (or someone similar) and let people purchase a branded flickbook of a period of their lives.

- Maybe potential for some kind of picwing.com affiliate deal / application.

- Some kind of "pro" account with more features (more picture widget output options etc).

- Display advertising (yeah, know).

They're a few ideas I'm toying with.

These two items sound like they fall into the http://www.etsy.com category. I've never used the service myself but it comes highly recommended from a few friends who have used it.

Apart from that, there's always ebay.

I hate how the godaddy UI is packed full of adverts. When you buy a domain you're bombarded with 50 or so offers that you're almost tricked into signing up to. Really not a fan.

I'm an avid namecheap user. The interface is clean and there are no adverts blocking your view. They've also just released their own API for registering domains off-site if that's your gig.

Some people might not like paypal but a vast majority of users will be hoping for this option (me for one). If you can add it as an option i'd recommend it.

The simple answer: Get enough diggs from a wide range of users in a short space of time.

The problem is, to get those diggs your site or page needs to be something digg worthy. Unfortunately, your site (IMO) isn't digg worthy.
