Hey, thanks so much for the feedback.

It feels a bit clunky to attach a csv, and what if I want to send attachments?

This is a fair point and it's probably the source of the most friction with this solution. In the future there will probably be a way to maintain a subscriber list outside of the inbox so this step won't necessarily be a strict requirement.

Re. attaching other files. You can still include other attachments and they'll continue to be sent with your email. We only strip out the attachment with the recipient list.

Who is this aimed at? Maybe this is for small non-techie business owners?

That's exactly it. The small business owner who doesn't have the time, technical know or enthusiasm to learn a full baked marketing suite like mailchimp.

Thanks!

Thanks :)

Not just yet but it's almost ready to ship. The idea is that once we receive your email we'll reply to you with a preview which will also include the payment link.

Expect to see that very soon.

Hey, yep, you're correct, it's a Jekyll site with some tailwindcss for styling.

I've seen small business owners struggle with getting to grips with full featured email tools such as mailchimp, campaign monitor etc and wanted to create an easier alternative.

It's my belief that there's a fair amount of complexity in these tools that can overwhelm those that just want to get started with some basic email marketing or those that want to get a message out quickly.

I love reducing friction and I wanted to explore the idea of using the inbox as the primary UI. No signups, subscriptions, templating tools or tracking etc. Just a tool you're already intimately familiar with.

I realise this approach has a few downsides and I have a few ideas on how to address those but it feels like what's built now is just about enough to run with as an MVP.

I'd be very grateful for any feedback, good or bad.

It's the only way I can use Xcode and keep my sanity :)

So I guess leet speak has evolved to such a place where traditional publications like the Washington Post are using it sincerely in their headlines.

I've got a few tokens for anyone that wants to try it out:

Bill split is a great idea. Adding it to the list!

I live in Ireland with my wife who happens to be British (I'm Irish) she and noticed that on occasion when she took a taxi, upon hearing her accent, cab drivers would take her the "scenic route", i.e. the long way around to her destination thinking she was from out of town.

So I thought it would be useful to have an app that calculates your fare in realtime based based on the local taxi tariffs and plots your route for you as you go. It would serve to remove the ambiguity of whether or not you were being charged the right fare and show whether or not you were being taking the most direct route.

I asked this question of the radium devs. I was told that its an App Store limitation. Apple will not approve third party apps that use the media keys.

It's highlighting some of the inaccuracies of google maps 45 degree angle views by showing how these buildings would look in real life if viewed from street level.

This street is Barrow Street in the docklands area of Dublin. They've only just recently purchased the building opposite this HQ which goes by by the name of The Montevetro Bulding. Goole are set to rename it...wait for it...Google Docks.

As sad as it is that a music pioneer has passed away, I don't think this belongs here.

The animations are a nice touch but it seems to offer nothing I don't already get with http://livereload.com/

Which is free if you want to download the source from github and compile it yourself.

Clever idea but if you're tech-savvy enough to shop this way using your smart phone and QR codes surely you're capable of doing all of this online?

This is probably the best app bundle I have seen this year. There are some real gems in there.

I would like to have seen a demo site where I could check it out without having to setup a project. Looks good from the screenshots though.

...and so continues the long slow decline of hacker news...

I'm trying to plan a wedding (a lot harder than any project I've started to date!) and working on some new features for http://onesentencereview.com

This is wonderful. Perfect for the music blogs I frequent.

Interesting read but the headline is a misleading, very little of the article is in relation to the Apple vs Adobe debate.

There are other factors to consider here besides performance. Security for one.

This is a great idea. Simple to understand and well executed. An API would be hugely beneficial. I think that's where it could really take off.

Hi, great advice. I'll be reviewing the current design and will certainly take this into account.

Thanks, that's some good advice. I might experiment around with that. "Have faith in your content!", I like it :)

While we may draw some similarities to metacritic we also have the social aspect that they don't. Namely, you can follow other users on the site and see their reviews in your dashboard. You can filter based on people you follow so you only get the reviews from people who's opinions you care about etc...

Thanks for the feedback. The goal is definitely to cover a wider range of movies, not just new releases but new releases seemed like a logical place to start as these would be fresh in peoples minds.

The ratings apply to the movies/music and not the actual reviews themselves so maybe that's something I need to make clearer.

Voting on reviews is something I definitely want to incorporate so that might get pushed up further in the list.

Thanks for this. I can't see the woods for the trees having worked on the site morning, noon and night so it's easy for me to miss these kinds of things. To me they seem obvious, but then they would since I implemented it. I'll be changing this very soon.

Yeah, it used to be that it would check for a period in the users review and prevent them from entering any more text once that was encountered but people started getting around it by-writing-their-reviews-like-this or using commas everywhere a full stop should have been, in the end I just went with the 140 character rule ala twitter. This made more sense since we would be heavily integrating with twitter.
