I appreciate the comments. As I said, I'm just getting started with this. I posted it here just to get some initial feedback. I understand there are other options for standing desks that are both less expensive and more functional. Th

I understand totally. Unfortunately steel and reclaimed lumber is not cheap. Each desk is made entirely by hand, so there’s a lot of labor that goes into each one. There are others out there that do offer a more affordable solution. I even

OP here. I've been a developer for 10 years and have used a standing desk for the last 2. When I started, I just used whatever materials I could to prop my computer up higher. Once I was sold on the idea and benefits of standing, I sta

It actually works pretty well with Vagrant. In fact, I even have Vagrant in the sample config file to show how it's done. :) https://github.com/fitztrev/shuttle/blob/master/Shuttle/shut... Basi

I used the built-in Quicktime Player to do a screen recording. Then I used an online mov-to-gif converter. I had a hard time getting it down to a decent size, though. Hope that helps!

I was actually going to do this at first. Something as simple as openURL:"ssh://username@example.com", then let OS X handle opening the default terminal. But I wasn't able to easily specify things like a different p

I use iTerm2 (with Solarized theme), zsh, and Oh My Zsh (with the agnoster theme).

Issue aside, I'm curious about this site itself. The first thing I noticed is that they're running a pretty old version of WordPress. They're on 3.0.3 (December 2010) when the latest version is 3.4.2. For security purposes, I'm surprised th

Interesting concept. Just a piece of advice that might improve conversions: I know you're using Stripe.js but you still should have an SSL cert on a payment page. And another thing with Stripe.js, don't use name attributes for the credit ca

The name was the result of a 5 hour long brainstorm with a friend. It was difficult to come up with one that somewhat made sense and was available. I have about 3 pages of scribbled out words and ideas. He proposed the original idea of "sha

Thank you for the information. Because of this, and others', comments, I added an opt-out button. While the customer can still share, they have the clear option that they can download the offer without having to do so.

The template is the Bootstrap template from Twitter. I mentioned in another comment that I would not have even started this project if it weren't for that. It made development so much easier. It's built in PHP using a custom framework tha

Ah, yes. Cross-browser testing is one thing I was not able to do yet. If anybody is using IE, I apologize. Although the Bootstrap framework should do alright rendering in IE.

The "demo" is the process that you go through to get the PDF. Maybe I should make that more clear. It's just a sample of how the functionality would work on your site if you offered an ebook. The size/styling of the "Download for Free" bu

Yes, absolutely. I'd be very interested in hearing about it. Hit me up and I can share my roadmap of some things I may add.

I'm looking forward to running lots of different A/B tests. I can change the "Download for Free" button, change the copy on the Share popup, and change how people interact with the share buttons. I definitely want to make sure I optimize th

Thank you. Fortunately, I really enjoy video production so it was a lot of fun to work on.

Thanks. I'll probably make some updates to the video and explain some things differently. I'm going to get somebody to do the voiceover next time, too. I think that will help with the quality. Thursday early morning I started programming. W

Most sites will have some good choices of illustrations. It doesn't have to be anything special. I really think you could get away with glorified stick figures and still make a great video. The script and storyline is important. The big tak

I think it might depend on the offer as well. I'm probably the same on most things. But AppSumo has a similar "Free Deal" on their site where you get access to the video/product after tweeting about it. Since I may actually be interested in

Ahh, thanks for both reports. The G+ button seemed to be the most finicky about how things worked. I'll get both of those items updated, though. Thanks again.
