Thanks! It currently does save and prefill URLs but you’re right, it’d be easy to hardcode the URL if you always want to use the same one.

Has anyone else had the experience of seeing almost zero ads on Instagram since they introduced them? I can count the number I've seen on one hand. I marked the first couple, right after they launched them, as not relevant (they weren&

Beeminder, as others have mentioned, handles #1 and #3 pretty well (minus the donation to the KKK part - the money for failing goes to Beeminder). I built GTBee[1] using the Beeminder API which is pretty much #2. Again, the punitive thing i

Lest anyone think this is exaggerated or linkbait-y, I've personally seen them do this, a lot. For example, a $100 gas purchase was immediately resolved using a method similar to what's shown in the video - had the number come up,

Just made two loans. I really love this idea and Zidisha does a great job of giving you all the information about the project and the person you're making the loan to. Congrats on the launch.

We are in fact polling using the GitHub API, but it should be hourly, not daily. Right after I finished this we noticed that we could also do this with a post commit hook, so we're planning to implement that as well.

We used it when I worked for TechCrunch (way back when). It's perfect for that setting: lots of writers, coordinating coverage, sharing interesting bits of information that you're not exactly sure who will find interesting. Etc. It's not
