   I don't comment on Hacker News very much -- in fact, extremely rarely, but I do remember this more than a decade ago and its awesome that you've stuck with this for this long. Congratulations to you and all the work that you'

   Ride (Uber for commuting) just launched yesterday. Given the size of their team and funding, I'm surprised that they'd pull something off like stealing an image from Apple's support page and replacing a logo.

    Hmm... I don't completely agree that adding Show HN would be a replacement for Product Hunt. It feels like the two communities are pretty different, and creating a separate community for product launches gives you the flexibility to i

    Congratulations Ryan, I feel lucky to be an early part of this (user #3 baby!) when you just sat down to think about doing it. It's come along a long way already, I can't imagine where this is going to end up in a year.

    It’s a shame that this post can even be deemed heretical when in fact it’s the normal mechanism for completing tasks by the vast preponderance of developers for overcoming technical challenges. Understanding the ways in which technical peop

    Products fall into multiple categories based on patterns of usage and intended audience. Some products are daily/heavy use products which should optimize for the expert user. These products need to be designed such that, once the user has

    This is a great thing for startups to exploit who really care deeply about all of their customers. They can easily take business away from large, monolithic companies that don't really care about losing one measly person. Many of our big

    Thanks David! We found that out after deploying for the competition (RailsRumble 2012). We can't quite fix it now, but it should be changed after the judging. I appreciate the support and heads up!
