The demo videos in the 'Installable' section should be up in your hero with the benefits listed alongside as subtitles. It took me a while to fully understand what your service does.

I have nothing but positive things to say about coworking spaces after having worked at them for the last 3 years. I've met great friends, business partners and clients. I think they'll continue to be important as the freelance

Doh! Thanks for asking. Voltron is a white labeled version of Jira (which I did not realize when writing my post). Edited.

After using Jira for the last 2 years, Atlassian has struck me as the 800 pound gorilla that's resting on its laurels. On my dashboard, I'm consistently annoyed by being shown the option of creating a new user account and having t

The problem I have with statements like this are that they apply to every large framework, not just Rails. ASP, Django, Zend, Cocoa etc. A combination of libraries are bound to be hard to update two major versions later when methods and v

It seems like the core of the argument is Javascript has wider adoption than Ruby, in enterprise and startups. I was expecting a more technical comparisons to Rails and Node. The point made about Ruby not being adopted by well established

"Comfortable beds, nice linens, soft towels, and well-chosen amenities and essentials." Clean linens alone has me interested. That is by far the biggest headache for me when comparing an AirBnB to a hotel. Can I trust that the h

Other things I'd add after building a React project: 1. "Configuration over Convention" seems to be the mantra with build settings and organization of the entire application. This can make adding features slower if you'

I think you have a great point looking at the deal in hindsight, however Instagram couldn't have looked that impressive to the typical institutional investor at the time. Facebook already had 845 million monthly active users with a la

Interesting title considering the article's as much about Uber and battery efficiency a la Tesla as it is Larry Page. I'm still curious about how highways for these types of aircraft will be implemented. I imagine the goal is ubi

Nice job! I've spend the last 2 months learning React and other tools in the ecosystem and was baffled at how complicated most of the tutorials were. I appreciate that this one is simple to follow yet powerful. Maybe for a part 2 you

This seems like it might be an automated response but at any rate - give him a break. Mentioning the HN post to people on Twitter hardly translates to "manipulating upvotes" to me.
