So, what should a early startup be doing with "ip assignment"? We hire people from places like elance and odesk - and a few irl people - is there something we should have been having them sign?

This is a jQuery plugin that makes it super simple to add random moments of zen from https://api.github.com/zen . We just added it to the navbar of our internal dashboard, and it's nice.

Beautiful design, and with the pricing change it is a great buy. One quick note -- when you click the eye buttons to see details, the old prices still show up.

Marketplace as a Service? If that's what this is, and it sounds like it, that would be fantastic. For the last year or two we've thought that a marketplace would be a great potential fit for our app, but simply don't have the resources to b

This looks really slick. Probably worth thinking about building some kind of tour, or explanation of how it works. The screenshot is beautiful, but may be insufficient to get people to sign up just to learn more.
