Thanks! We think the subscription model is the best fit for our product. While Ship is a native Mac app, it also relies on a backend service so we have ongoing costs to cover there. Also, with subscriptions we don't have to play the

Sure. The unique thing about Ship is that it is backed by a continuously synchronized local database of your issues, across all of your repos. This lets Ship run incredibly quickly. Because all of your data is already on hand and up to date

If you cancel or your trial expires, Ship keeps working but it only works with your public repos. The intention is that Ship is always free for open source.

by fpotter 10y ago
Yep - it's a 30 day free trial. After that it's $9/month. Like GitHub, we're also offering a plan for organizations that want to provide Ship to their whole team. Our pricing page goes into more detail -- https:/

Glad you like it! We spent all weekend hacking away on this - really excited to show it to everyone. Behind the scenes we're running iOS apps on Macs and streaming the screen to you - sort of like a remote-desktop connection into a running

If you don't feel like downloading it, here's a web-based live demo -- http://www.pieceable.com/view/bundle/p/a2a89/com.applidium.V... As the docs say, if you want to leave insert-mode, you have to use the '\' key since there's no ESC.

San Francisco, CA (full-time, part-time, remote possible) Pieceable is looking to change the way mobile mobile apps are developed, much like how WordPress changed the way many web sites are developed. We have consumer facing stuff, some de

Not sure what the max number of concurrent connections was, but the Yelp app has been opened just over 10k times so far.

by fpotter 15y ago
Yes, we do, too :-) The first version was actually all standard web stuff, but the performance was just a little bit below what we wanted. Flash works for now.

Hey - I'm one of the Pieceable founders. The pricing plans we've put up so far are definitely intended for agencies / dev shops that want to share apps-in-progress with clients. We know there's a lot more we could do with this, though - we

Yes, go to college but don't go for the piece of paper, and don't go to a community college if you can help it. I was in almost exactly the same situation as you at 19 (28 now). I screwed up HS to the point where no good university would a

I think I'm guilty of that. :-) It took me a really long time to figure out what RESTful design meant. As best I can tell, it's CRUD mapped onto the HTTP verbs.
21.
by fpotter 16y ago
I agree, and it's certainly what I want as a developer. But, if I was building a web service that was supposed to be widely used (maybe some like the Yelp or Facebook API), I might think about REST. You know it's going to be immediately un

Thrift solves the same problem as pretty much any other remote procedure call (RPC) system. Among RPC systems, I'd say it's notable because it works easily with over a dozen different languages and is fairly transport agnostic (you could u

Try Pivotal Tracker. It's more geared for todos / feature stuff (and does it really well), but you can use it for bugs, too. If you're tracking more than 50 or so bugs, I could see wanting to use something else, though.

I completely forgot about the possibility of animated gifs. I'll look into this. If I do it, I should probably make it optional - some people might hate me for it. :-)

Thanks for the feedback. I'll play with better positioning for that. I know it looks weird if you have a giant screen. I'll see how big I can make the image w/out bloating the file size too much.
