Unable to deploy with Elastic Beanstalk currently. Internal 500 error. They put up the Blue Diamond icon, so this must be serious.

The ease of use is a wonderful improvement, but working with any locally mounted volumes makes it completely unusable.

VENTUREAPP | Boston, MA - Full-time ONSITE | Front-End Engineer (AngularJS)

https://www.ventureapp.com

VENTUREAPP is a private network that connects startups with the people and solutions that can help their business succeed. We're building an intelligent platform that helps solve the common and not-so-common issues that startups encounter day to day.

We're looking for an experienced front-end engineer to join our fast-moving and accountable product team. You'll be one of the first 10 team members and play a critical role in our success. We have two primary products now: A user-facing web app, and an internal control center, code named "Houston". We're launching a mobile app in the coming months.

Responsibilities include: owning the front-end codebase, building efficient and reusable front-end systems, participating in user experience and code reviews, and addressing front-end performance bottlenecks.

More details on the position here: https://angel.co/ventureapp/jobs/87363-angular-developer

Feel free to reach out directly to me (jared -at- ventureapp.com) with any inquiries.

That was an opportunistic buy. I was using one of those short domain tools and came across it. No current plans.

These are the better ones I have. Mostly acquired for different startup ideas I'm riffing on.

- read.io

- tit.io

- fix.io

- foodcopter.com (for when drones deliver your dinner of course)

- burgercopter.com (same reason)

- pizzacopter.com (same reason)

I've developed a simple tool for parking unused domains. Just set your nameservers and the whole inquiry process is automated. Would love feedback! http://parktap.com/

Depending on what you are building, yes. This can save a developer a good portion of a day between the code, file storage and CDN.

Awesome! One line about that should do the trick.

Is the only way to "join" via Heroku? Or is there another place I can create an account?

Looks great. I see mention of limits, but there is no pricing page. It's hard to adopt a service if I have no idea what it will cost me.

I have used Embed.ly's similar service in the past. There is a sizable free tier (25,000 images) and it works more or less the same. http://embed.ly/display

If you have coding experience it should be very easy. Most charts will simply need data in JSON format passed to them. Personally I use Keen.io for storing and querying analytics data. You can get a live URL of an query that can be directly connected to your code. They also have a dashboard template to get you started.

I'm intrigued by this. The author states that they work primarily with "idea stage" e-commerce businesses. I can't think of a more perfect scenario for using bootstrap - building MVPs and validating the ideas. If I were him I would have my in-house developers master bootstrap, resulting in a higher output for the incubated non-technical teams.

Perhaps Bootstrap isn't a good fit for their team (there are many UI frameworks), but if you're developing each of your MVPs from scratch, I'd have to argue that your idea-to-business engine is running inefficiently.

Additionally, the out of box cross browser support that you get from Bootstrap will be a big help in ensuring conversion on an e-commerce site, without spending heavily in testing.

Congrats on shipping. I wanted to do something simple like this. I bought a domain for it, Radiyum.com (Radius + Food), but ended up shelving the idea for some of the reasons other folks have brought up. There's only so much time in the day!

Good luck with the app. Looks well designed.

Looks cool. Only issue I had was the graph size.

The DOD gives this shit away (to our rural towns and cities) so they can consider it in use and order more from contractors, which gives more cash to the lobbyists and contractors. Rinse and repeat. It's very straightforward.

I've experienced the same bugs. Also using underscores, or asterisk breaks everything silently. No error or attempt to tell you not to do it.

I've been trying for days to get OwnCloud working properly with for my 30 person startup. I wish I could say it was going great but I'm a couple hours away from trying out DropBox for business.

I went with Ubuntu, 200GB EBS, M1X-large and the latest OwnCloud (6.0.1 stable)

Syncing has been brutal. We have a 100MB connection, and even the few test users I've put on it all are complaining of it not consistently syncing. Additionally there is no LAN Sync like Dropbox, so you're paying for all the bandwidth.

Since i't at somewhere between $250-300 for OwnCloud and it's been working so poorly, the $450/month for Dropbox isn't looking as bad.

It's a shame. There is good potential here, but as others mentioned the UI is really janky, and it doesn't consistently work as expected.

You can create multiple boards in trello, mixing personal and business. This means you can keep all of this stuff in the same system, but not have them appear in your Team's trello.

Isn't that way simpler? That's how i do it anyway.

And to think I thought the Thunderbolt display was pricey at $1k. I love it, but I don't think I could possible realize (or notice) the increase in capability unless working heavily in graphics and video, and that's assuming that the machine attached to it has a card that takes advantage of it.

Agree completely. I can tell this was made with UnBounce, and i could duplicate it in roughly 6 minutes.

If you have an idea worth testing, it's probably worth spending 5-10 hours on the test, assuming you want to receive decision making data.

I would expect any landing page like this to "prove" the idea was terrible, when it in fact could have legs. I for one would like a salsa of the month club.

I bought $1k worth at $36/coin. I sold it when it dropped to $6. I'll have to go long on the next cryptocurrency.

Trello. I organize them in lists and revisit weekly. I'm an idea guy that needs to focus on execution, so I revisit the list weekly.

* Needs Validating (basic market research, customer exploration)

* Hot list (validated. would like to spend more time on it)

* Dead pool (didn't pass validation, or interests/resources/priorities shifted)

My deadpool list will be turned into an interesting book one day. Most likely one of those funny single page story books that are bought for bathroom reading.

Is there a Mac alternative? Otherwise i'll have to stick with my Bearcat.

Yuck. That's disappointing. It's only a matter of time before MT is inundated with GoDaddy's garbage.

Moving all my domains off GoDaddy was a pain, but not being plastered with 90 sub-offers on my way to checkout is bliss. They have zero respect for customers and are just generally shady in every aspect of business.

This is one of my favorite Banksy works. It was a block over from my last office. Unfortunately it was defaced by some other graffiti artists. Ironic

The future of these is interesting to consider. After a software update...

- Stream music across the house - House-wide doorbell tone (after they sell you a $99 doorbell kit) - Hook up to security system - Remotely audio monitor your home (babysitter, cheating wife/husband) - Siri type functionality. I can wake up and say "Weather" in my bedroom. - Alarm clock

At this price point they won't be popular enough to really ignite further innovation of the devices though.

The US government could easily destroy said satellite.

My wrist is throbbing after watching this video.

"Write slower than ever and guarantee RSI. All for 3 easy payments of $19.95!"

Very disappointing. I'm sure the internal stories of the UI/UX designers and product managers will start coming out soon. I suspect that management had a checkbox for "knowledge of dark patterns" on the job description.

Re: the investors. I wanted to give Josh Hannah of Matrix the benefit of the doubt - many investors have little interest in much besides the revenue and user growth. Unfortunately he decided to speak out about the situation and show he was not only completely aware of this bullshit, but fully supports it.

I had the pleasure of being a judge on a panel when this team was pitching 4-6 months ago as part of the MassChallenge incubator program. They are a great team putting together some solid solutions in the South American logistics industry.

I'm happy to see them making more progress. I hope the fundraising is successful.

I'd look at this as a positive experience. You were able to realize in an hour or two, with one visit, that XYZ company was not a good fit for you.

There's a good chance the next company will suck for some reason or another. On to the next one.

I use Sequel Pro, but it's an OSX app, not a php alternative to PhpMyAdmin.
