I second that. Or something like Netflix but for sports (mostly interested in soccer and basketball), would easily pay 15$/month for that.

Thanks for the hint! I already took a look into it. There are indeed only 676 options to guess the secret in many cases. We do block brute force attacks, but given that there are only 676 possibilities, you could just run the brute force tool at a very low speed.

I used my free time during Christmas and pushed a huge update to my latest weekend hack. It's a disposable email address service.

Some of the main features are:

* SSL only connections

* All data is stored in memory using redis to make the site blazing fast

* New mails are instantly displayed using web sockets

* Automatically clicking on common activation links

* Your inbox doesn't expire

Before launching I do:

* Minify Html, Css, Js using the YUI Compressor

* Compress images using tinypng.org

* Run the tests I wrote during development

* Do a final stress test using blitz.io

* Generate a XML Sitemap for search engines and edit the robots.txt

* Run a spellcheck using checkdog.com

* Setup monit to make sure my app restarts after a crash ;)

Guess that's it ;) Funny side story: I launched my weekend project receiveee.com last week and failed big when moving to production. During developing I ran the app under admin, but I ofc didn't when moving to production. BUT, my app includes a smtp server which couldn't run on port 25 without admin rights. No error appeared, but not a single mail arrived. Even took me 10 minutes to find the problem :D

Hi,

I just pushed a new version of receiveee.com online. It's a disposable email address which even automatically click on activation links.

http://receiveee.com

Changes: New design Changed servers Automatically click on activation links should now work for most of the links Html mails are now displayed properly And a lot of minor bug fixes

Thanks
